MAEPS │ FRIDAY Frolic: MAEPS • Restoran Kader

We're Off to Serdang!

There was plenty of hype surrounding this year’s autoshow, which promised to “feature hundreds of the latest cars, EVs, motorbikes and technology showcases,” all taking place at MAEPS Serdang from 4–7 May 2023.

We had originally planned to go yesterday (Thursday, 4 May), but since it was Wesak Day, a public holiday, we feared the crowds would be overwhelming. So we waited it out and made plans to go today instead.

We walked out of our condo to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, caught a free GOKL Red Line bus, and got off at the Muzium Negara stop.

Getting to MAEPS

From Muzium Negara, we caught an MRT train to Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), switched lines, and continued to UPM. From there, we hailed a Grab car to MAEPS.

We spent about an hour or so at the autoshow before hailing another Grab car to Putrajaya Sentral, where we caught a train back toward the city and disembarked at Ampang Park.

The Accidental Detour

At Ampang Park, we switched from the MRT to the LRT — but mistakenly boarded a Gombak bound train instead of the Kelana Jaya line. We corrected course at Damai, switched trains, and eventually reached Masjid Jamek.

Banana Leaf Reward

From Masjid Jamek, we walked a short distance to our favourite banana leaf spot at Restoran Kader on Lebuh Ampang.

We had our usual:

• Banana leaf rice
• Chicken Fried Varuval
• Tenggiri Fried Fish
• A round of Masala Tea

We also took away a packet of rice with fried chicken and curry for Brendan, plus two more packets of Masala Tea.

Our late late lunch came to RM66.50 (approximately USD15/EUR14).

Incense & Bananas

Next door, we replenished our incense supply — RM15.00 worth — from a colourful little shop.

Along the same alley, we picked up a couple of bunches of Pisang Emas (Lady Finger bananas?) for only RM6.00 (approximately USD/EUR1).

With our errands done, we walked back to our condo, as always taking the scenic route.

More to Come

Do stay tuned — we’re planning a market hunt next week!
