Weekend Wander │ WALDORF

The Long Drive Back

After our sumptuous seafood feast at Baywatch Restaurant in Tanjung Sepat, we drove back north to Waldorf Tower, to the studio apartment my sister had left in our care.

Traffic was unusually heavy — we suspected everyone was out visiting open houses. What was normally a leisurely 1.5 hour drive stretched into almost three hours, and by the time we reached Waldorf Tower, evening had already settled in.

Settling In

As soon as we arrived, I headed straight to my favourite barbershop and was pleasantly surprised that Kumar could attend to me immediately. After the haircut, we walked to a nearby convenience store for refreshments and stopped by our favourite bakery for pastries on the way back.

Back at the apartment, I set up the DJI Pocket 2 on a tripod to capture the thunderstorm outside and the sunset that was due in an hour. We spent the next few hours resting before heading out in search of dinner.

A Familiar Favourite

Remember our favourite Mamak restaurant, Bestari, that closed down? Well — good news! The other outlet across Hartamas Shopping Centre, at Plaza Damas 3, was still alive and kicking.

We crossed the pedestrian bridge in glee and ordered our usuals:

• Roti Sardin for me
• Fried Bee Hoon for Cat

Simple, comforting, and exactly what we needed.

The Next Morning

We woke up thinking we’d order breakfast through GrabFood, but there were no McDonald’s serving the area. So I spent some time editing yesterday’s clips before we showered, packed, and headed out for brunch.

As always, we made it a point to visit Warung Soho for their delicious Nasi Soho. After brunch, we drove back home — another cosy Waldorf Tower weekend in the books.

Until Next Time

Thus ended our little getaway. We hope to see all of you again real soon.

A Small Reminder

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