Saturday Outing │ Wan Lee Heng • Sido Mampir • Qimi Car Wash!

Saturday Outing!

It was a quiet Saturday morning and we actually planned to stay home the entire home. However we suffered from option paralysis as we scrolled the innumerable choices available on the Grab food app and we decided to drive out to lunch instead.

We rode an elevator down to BiBi at the fourth floor and made our way to the general area of Chow Kit. With provisions needing replenishment and BiBi in need of a shower this would be an excellent launch pad.

We parked in front of Wan Lee Heng Cash & Carry situated along Lengkok Raja Laut and began our shopping there. We made away with tidbits and other provisions for a grand total of RM142.10 (approximately USD33/EUR29) that was stowed away in BiBi.

We then walked a short distance to an Indonesian restaurant called Sido Mampir as we missed our time in Jakarta. Here we ordered the:

• Rawon Daging for the both of us 
• Plain Omelette 
• 2 plates of White Rice
• Iced Nescafe
• Iced Lemon Tea

Our excellent and nostalgic Javanese lunch came to RM32.55 (approximately USD8/EUR7).

As we left Sido Mampir we stopped by the biscuit shop In Hua Bee and got several varieties of Mung Bean biscuits for RM15.00 (approximately USD4/EUR3). 

We then made our way back to BiBi and made a loop around Chow Kit before ending up at Qimi Car Wash. A wash and vacuum session cost RM20.00 (approximately USD5/EUR4), and we were impressed that they took they time to care for BiBi.

Before leaving Qimi Car Wash I placed an order to pick up two regular-sized pizzas from Domino's for an irresistible price of RM38.90 (approximately USD9/EUR8). We then drove a short distance then collected the pizzas. As I sat and waited while Cat went to pick up the pizzas a man came up to the window with an vague request for money. Fearing an attempt at 'pukau' (inducing a trance) we quickly left the place and headed home.

We will be headed north to an old tin mining town next week, so please stay tuned!

Saturday Amble │ Discover Borneo • Caroline!

Caroline!

Cat's favourite beadstress was in town and we made plans to see her today. The Curve was holding a Discover Borneo https://thecurve.com.my/discover-borneo/ exhibition from the 4th of July until tomorrow at its Centre Court. Caroline will be returning to Kuching tomorrow as well, so it was imperative that we see her today. 

We arrived at the Mutiara Damansara MRT station and made our way to The Curve. At the Centre Court where the Discover Borneo https://thecurve.com.my/discover-borneo/ exhibition was held we met up with Caroline and handed her my string of Lava beads bracelet as well as a couple of Cat's necklaces for restringing. 

Cat then browsed Caroline's depleted collection of necklaces (it's been a week since she set up her booth) and eventually selected five necklaces to add to her every growing collection. Since we needed to have lunch Caroline suggested we go eat while she worked on restringing our necklaces and bracelet. 

Do watch our previous video to find out what we had to eat. By the time we were done with lunch it was a quarter past two, so we walked back to the Centre Court of The Curve. We were just in time to catch a traditional dance performance. 

Caroline was still working on restringing Cat's second necklace, while my Lava beads bracelet was worked on by a friend. We elected to wait and in that time were fortunate to catch a blow dart exhibition. 

Our necklaces and bracelet were finally restrung and together with a free woven bag for Cat and a free beads bracelet our haul from Caroline came to RM940.00 (approximately USD220/EUR190) which may seem little pricey but well worth it for her exquisite handwork. 

By the time we were done it was just past three, so we bade Caroline a fond farewell. Do watch our previous video on where we headed next after The Curve.

With nothing planned in the upcoming weeks we will share vlogs of our weekend excursions here and there, so please stay tuned!

Saturday Amble │ The CURVE • NU Sentral!

Discover Borneo!

Cat's favourite beadstress was in town and we made plans to see her today. The Curve was holding a Discover Borneo exhibition from the 4th of July until tomorrow at its Centre Court. Caroline will be returning to Kuching tomorrow as well, so it was imperative that we see her today. 

We left our home at ten past eleven, and seeing as we were running a little late we hailed a Grab car for a fare of RM21.00 (approximately USD5/EUR4) to The Curve. Alas the Grab car cancelled on us. Fearing the ongoing ASEAN summit was wreaking havoc on traffic we then decided to walk to the Bandaraya LRT station. 

Here we caught a train bound for Sentul at a quarter to twelve and disembarked at the Titiwangsa station. We then walked over to the MRT station and caught another train bound for Putrajaya. We disembarked at the Tun Razak Exchange MRT station and switched to the train bound for Kwasa Damansara. 

We eventually arrived at Mutiara Damansara MRT station at a quarter to one for a total fare of RM3.20 (approximately USD0.80/EUR0.60). After some time spent taking photos at the station we headed into The Curve. 

Please catch our upcoming video on the exhibition and our time spent with Caroline.

Since we needed to have lunch Caroline suggested we go eat while she worked on restringing our necklaces and bracelet. We wandered around and eventually settled on Soup Based Kitchen where we had the:

• Omelette with Minced Chicken & Rice set
• Smoked Duck with Rice set

for a total of RM39.80 (approximately USD9/EUR8). This was a truly value for money meal since each set came with a bowl of soup and a glass of Iced Chinese Tea. 

By the time we were done with lunch it was a quarter past two, so we headed back to Caroline's booth. We were all done with our splurge on beads and such at half past three, so we bade Caroline a fond farewell. In the interest of time hailed a Grab car for a fare of RM19.00 (approximately USD5/EUR4) to NU Sentral.

We arrived at twenty to four and made our way to the Malaysia Airlines office. Here we enquired about rescheduling a future trip. Natasha attended to us and was an absolute darling! 

We then walked to the Monorail station where we caught a train at half past four bound for Titiwangsa and disembarked at the Medan Tuanku station for a total fare of RM3.20 (approximately USD0.80/EUR0.70).

We made a detour at Syed Bistro to take away each a Naan bread and a serving of Tandoori Chicken, and together with a round of drinks came to RM21.65 (approximately USD5/EUR4). It was then a ten-minute walk back to our home.

With nothing planned in the upcoming weeks we will share vlogs of our weekend excursions here and there, so please stay tuned!
