WALDORF │ A Weekend (Again)

Escaping the Raya Congestion

There was a Hari Raya Aidilfitri Celebration at Dataran Merdeka today from 10:00am to 2:00pm, which meant the roads around our area would be either closed or heavily congested. To avoid the mayhem, we decided to spend the weekend at Waldorf Tower — again.

We left home at 9:30am and enjoyed a scenic half hour drive to Plaza Damas.

Brunch, Buns, and Coffee

Our first stop was Warung Soho to order their excellent Nasi Soho. The gravy wasn’t ready yet, so we were asked to return in fifteen minutes.

With time to spare, we strolled to Bread Aroma Bakery for our usual tuna cheese buns and their amazing mango peach buns. Then we walked over to ZUS Coffee — I ordered a Mocha Caffè Latte, while Cat tried the Iced Genmai Latte.

On the way back, we discovered a new eatery called D’Warung Khatijah, serving Malay and Indonesian dishes. Something to try for dinner, perhaps.

We returned to Warung Soho, collected our Nasi Soho, and headed up to the apartment.

A Quiet Afternoon

The entire afternoon was spent catching up on Star Wars on Disney+, followed by a refreshing nap.

Dinner Hunt at Dusk

At dusk, we went out in search of dinner. We checked D’Warung Khatijah, Don’s Warong, and Ju Ga & Cook Korean Food, but nothing matched our mood — we wanted something light.

So we walked into Hartamas Shopping Centre, crossed the pedestrian bridge, and took the elevator down to Plaza Damas 3.

Déjà vu — we ended up at Bestari again. I ordered Roti Sardin, while Cat had Fried Bee Hoon. After our simple dinner, we strolled back into Hartamas Shopping Centre, visited Mercato for groceries, then Mr DIY for a floor mat.

Our final errand was at KK Super Mart for beverages before returning to the apartment.

The Next Morning

We packed up and headed to Rubberduck for brunch — a place we usually avoid because of the crowds, but today we braved it. After the pricey brunch, we returned to Warung Soho for two more packets of Nasi Soho (as always), then made our way to the carpark and drove home.

And yes — we were already thinking about where to go next weekend.

A Small Reminder

While masks are now optional outdoors, they are still mandatory indoors. Stay safe and considerate.
