A Quiet Evening Reset
I spent most of the afternoon working on our videos, while Cat kept herself busy tidying up the apartment. It was one of those slow, productive afternoons where everything just flowed at its own pace.
As dusk approached, I set up the DJI Pocket 2 on the balcony of my sister’s apartment at Waldorf Tower, ready to capture a time lapse of the sunset. With everything in place, we left the camera to do its thing and headed out in search of dinner.
A Familiar Loss
Our first instinct was to head to Restoran Bestari, our usual spot for Mamak (Malaysian Indian Muslim) food. But when we arrived, we were met with disappointment—it had closed down.
We had mentioned this in an earlier video, but seeing it for ourselves still felt a little sad. Another familiar place gone, a quiet reminder of how tough the past few years had been for small eateries.
Oh well… it was what it was.
Finding a New Favourite
With that, we moved on to the next available option and found ourselves at Banana, which had taken over the space once occupied by Mari Canai—another casualty of the times.
Thankfully, Banana seemed to be doing well. The place was lively, with a steady flow of customers.
A Simple, Satisfying Meal
We kept things straightforward:
- I had Fried Yellow Noodles
- Cat chose Fried Rice Vermicelli
- A round of drinks for both of us
Dinner came to RM23.40 (≈ USD6/EUR5)—affordable, filling, and comforting.
Everyday Food, Done Right
It wasn’t fancy, and it didn’t need to be.
This was the kind of meal we always came back to:
- Quick
- Hearty
- Honest
The kind of food that truly defined “everyday meals for the everyday person.”
Ending the Day
With dinner done, we headed back to the apartment, knowing the time lapse would be ready for us.
It had been a quiet, reflective evening—one that reminded us how things changed, but also how new places stepped in to keep the rhythm of the city going.
And sometimes, that was enough.

*barely a month after posting this Banana closed, apparently for good. Then a few months later it re-opened!)
