KT Day 2 │ Lim Sian Tian • Al Mubin Maju • Sabasun!

Footle Friday!

We had a good night's sleep and woke up at half past eight. We got ready and walked over to the home at a quarter past nine to get a load of laundry going before driving out in search of breakfast. Since BiBi was badly in need of a shower we decided to head to Batas Baru where a car wash and nasi kandar restaurant were co-located.

We deposited BiBi in the hands of the car wash personnel at Warisan Car Wash then walked across to Al Mubin Maju for breakfast. We ordered the:

  • Roti Canai Sardin
  • Roti Telur
  • hot Nescafe
  • Iced Tea

for a modest sum of RM16.00 (approximately USD4/EUR3). We then walked back to Warisan Car Wash and paid them RM20.00 (approximately USD5/EUR4) for external wash and internal vacuuming.

We then drove to Sabasun Hyper Runcit at Bukit Kecil to get some groceries for RM64.15 (approximately USD15/EUR13) then Mr. DIY along Jalan Tengku Ampuan Mariam to get some provisions for RM174.20 (approximately USD40/EUR36). Our final errand was to get a small bottle of Nescafe Gold from the 7-Eleven along Jalan Pejabat for RM15.00  (approximately USD4/EUR3).

We then drove back to the home where I continued working on our videos while Cat pottered around the house. 

Stay tuned for our next video as we go out to lunch then resume our shopping spree!

KT Day 1 │ Lim Sian Tian • Zeeror Mini Market!

Dinner at Batu Buruk!

We picked you up again waking up at half past five in the evening, freshened up then walked over to the home. I began downloading the videos from today while Cat busied herself cleaning the front porch. We left Brendan behind to left him enjoy his beauty sleep and left word to let us know when he's awake and hungry.

We spent the next hour or so doing various chores before we got a text from Brendan. We met up with him at the parking space opposite the rest house and drove out at 9:00pm. 

We drove aimlessly for a while as we weighed our options for dinner then BiBi's fuel warning came on forcing us to Batu Buruk in search of a Petronas station. 

We then spotted a cluster of food stalls along TY Hotel and decided to check it out. We eventually settled on Zeeror Burger that also served Thai cuisine and ordered the:

  • Beef Bone Soup
  • Tom Yum Chicken
  • Nasi Goreng Kampung
  • 2 plates of white rice
  • 2 plain Omelettes
  • a serving of Keropok Lekor
  • 2 Iced Lemon Tea 
  • Watermelon Juice 

We later added an Oblong Chicken Burger Special as well as a Double Beef Burger for a grand total of RM62.00 (approximately USD14/EUR13). 

Our succulent dinner out of the way we then hopped back into BiBi for a short drive to the Batu Buruk Petronas station. Here we filled up RM100.00 worth of fuel (approximately USD23/EUR21) before driving back to the home. We then spent another hour here as I worked on our videos while Cat busied herself with little chores here and there.

By the time we got back to the rest house it was close to midnight. Stay tuned for our next video as we have breakfast at an unlikely location!

KUL to TGG │ On The Way • Lim Sian Tian • MS Resthouse!

Road Trip!

Almost three weeks after I got Covid-19 we were headed northeast to Kuala Terengganu. The trip was a welcomed respite as we sought to recharge ourselves, physically and mentally.

The last time we were in my hometown was in June last year. Before we went back to Kuala Lumpur we left the keys to the gate with a neighbour who has been helping to keep an eye on the property, he has also been tending to the plants. Thank you Heng!

This time around we left our condo before dawn to begin our long drive up the east coast. We headed north and drove past the Gombak Toll Plaza at 6:30am. After almost an hour we exited Karak Highway at the Bentong Toll Plaza before making our way past the Karak Toll Plaza and onto the Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT, or East Coast Expressway).

We arrived at the Temerloh Rest & Recreation area at 7:40am and had a simple breakfast of Nasi Lemak and Noodle with Soup, together with drinks it all came to RM26.00 (approximately USD6/EUR5).

Breakfast out of the way we then resumed our drive forty five minutes later, and after two more hours we finally drove past the Kuala Terengganu Toll Plaza then headed to town for lunch. We were determined to have lunch at our perennial favourite Chicken Rice restaurant, Chuan Kee. Alas by the time we got there it was noon and they were all out.

The next best thing was On The Way (OTW) Kopitiam about a kilometer away along Jalan Pesisir Payang. We were lucky to get a seat since OTW quickly filled up. A quick scan of the QR code and we placed our usual order of:

  • Laksa Kuah Merah
  • Laksa Kuah Puteh 
  • Laksam Kuah Puteh
  • Rojak Betik
  • French Fries 
  • Iced Tea with Evaporated Milk
  • Iced Lemon Tea
  • Apple Juice

Our lovely lunch came to RM66.40 (approximately USD16/EUR14).

At 1:00pm we made our way to my late Aunty's home excited to check in on the place. Back in June last year we engaged a cleaning crew to give the house a comprehensive spring cleaning. Apart from cleaning the home we also disposed a ton of junk that required two trip of a small lorry. 

The cleaning crew had spent an intense 14 hours cleaning the entire house. In time we hope to bring this home back to its former glory, and become a family 'homestay' of sorts.

We spent some time unloading a few things that we brought along for the home including a solar spotlight to replace the malfunctioning lamp at the back of the home. While Cat washed the toilet downstairs with its newly installed bowl and cistern I busied myself inspecting each electrical outlet.

We then drove a very short distance to MS Resthouse located along the same street and checked in. We had booked two rooms for a duration of four nights that came to RM99.00 a room a night (approximately USD/EUR). Since my late Aunty's home was equipped with a newly purchased washing machine we no longer needed to look for accommodations that provided a washer.

We were in Room 7A while Brendan was across the corridor in Room 2A on the first floor of the rest house. We spent the next three hours catching up on some much needed sleep and arose at half past five. 

Stay tuned for our next video as we head back to the home then out for dinner!
