Welcome to our vlog, created in honour of our devotion to the everyday food for the everyday person, as well as to catalogue our memories, life’s events and travels.
Why “Have Perut Will Travel”? It’s a play on words from an old Western TV show called “Have Gun - Will Travel”, but instead of a firearm we let our tummies lead the way ❣️

We were feeling a little hungry, so we walked over to Kampung Nelayan Kraf which hosted a collection of food stalls.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We browsed for a while before settling on Nasi Kak Wook for RM9.00 each, a Kelantanese dish of rice with chicken cutlets and gravy. We also had a cup of extremely sweet Iced Sugar Cane for RM3.00 each. Our early lunch came to RM24.00 (approximately USD/EUR5).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then headed into the arts and craft exhibition hall where Cat browsed to her heart's content. A stall selling Sabahan ceramic beads caught Cat's eye, alas the proprietor was nowhere to be found.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We continued browsed the various stalls and met our friend Lipang Lawai of Raben Beads. Cat got a couple of earrings for RM28.00 (approximately USD6/EUR5). A brightly coloured woven bag then caught Cat's eye at Jenny Geoffrey's stall, so we got it for RM50.00 (approximately USD11/EUR10).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then came upon Caroline Agan's stall, Cat's favourite beadstress and got from her:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 2 pairs of earrings </span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 2 Kabo necklaces </span></li></ul></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">for RM260.00 (approximately USD55/EUR50). We then had a drink at the canteen before resuming our shopping spree in the next exhibition hall which housed the household items. Here we browsed for Labu Sayong (an elegant, gourd-shaped carafe that is used to keep water cool) and settled for a medium sized one for RM60.00 (approximately USD13/EUR12) from Qazana Gifts & Crafts stall.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then doubled back to the arts and craft hall and were glad that Houston Rarandis was finally at his stall. We got two Sabahan ceramic necklaces from him for RM150.00 (approximately USD32/EUR29).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Two and a half hours later we left the Kuala Lumpur Craft Complex with a handsome bounty and made our way back to the Conlay MRT Station.

This auspicious day is also known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To commemorate this auspicious day we booked an Airbnb at Bintang Fairlanes Residences (be sure to check out our previous video). After checking in we headed out again to run some errands at Plaza Low Yat.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We walked out of the Airbnb and headed northwest along Lorong Walter Granier then turned left onto Jalan Walter Granier before turning right onto Jalan Sultan Ismail. We continued northwest and walked past Lot 10 before walking up an escalator that took us past the Bukit Bintang Monorail station and eventually into Sungei Wang Plaza.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We walked across the first floor and rode an elevator down to the surface level where we walked across Jalan Bulan 1 and in the end walked into Plaza Low Yat. We took another elevator up to the second floor and walked into Sri Computers to look for several IT related items.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the end we got two of the four items on our list, namely a new wireless keyboard and mouse by Logitech as well as a 4-port USB hub. We left Plaza Low Yat and entered Sungei Wang Plaza, eventually walking along a footbridge across Jalan Sultan Ismail and making it down to the ground floor. We then turned left back onto Jalan Walter Granier then right onto Lorong Walter Granier where we arrived back at the Airbnb.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Later that evening at half past five we left the Airbnb meaning to head to the Pavilion Crystal Fountain to watch a Unity Walk, but a few drops of rain forced us into SB Corner. Sure enough the drops of rain turned into a downpour, so we spent the next forty-five minutes sipping on Teh Tarik.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Certain that the walk would have been called off we headed back to the Airbnb, and a little while later headed out again to Da Long Yi Hotpot just a few minutes away on foot.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We spent an awesome evening there, so be sure to catch our next video.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After dinner we went on an impromptu walkabout that took us along Jalan Imbi then onto Jalan Sultan Ismail. We walked northwest past the Par</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">kroyal Hotel and Lot 10 again before we reached the intersection with Jalan Bukit Bintang.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here we turned right onto Jalan Bukit Bintang and headed to the vicinity of Starhill Square to watch the much talked about 3D anamorphic show of a Golden Dragon across two giant LED screens between Pavilion Elite and fahrenheit88. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then resumed our walkabout headed east along Jalan Bukit Bintang before ultimately onto Jalan Imbi headed southeast.

We could hardly believe that it's been almost three years since <a href="http://www.harrycath.com/2021/04/vinh-city-vietnam-cuisine.html">we last featured</a> Vinh City Vietnamese Cuisine on our channel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was April 2021 to be exact, and it was among the earliest videos we ever posted. In that time we've visited this restaurant many times and we felt that it was about time to showcase it again on our channel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We almost always order the same thing: Beef Fried Rice for me, and Beef Phở for Cat. I always ordered the Vietnamese Coffee and Cat would always the Vietnamese Green Tea. So it was to our surprise as we flipped through the pages of the menu that Vinh City had so much more to offer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We made a mental note to try something new the next time we're here, but for today our usual lunch came to RM43.60 (approximately USD/EUR9). It goes without saying that we highly recommend Vinh City to anyone looking for an authentic Vietnamese experience.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Be sure to catch our previous video where we visited five malls to capture the Chinese New Year themed decorations at each of the malls!</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="359" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gDRGNOvTeX8" width="478" youtube-src-id="gDRGNOvTeX8"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Do visit our YouTube Channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/harrycath">Have Perut Will Travel</a>)</i></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">📍 Location:</span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sungei Wang Plaza - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/HY465ueAqCT1Co5r9">https://maps.app.goo.gl/HY465ueAqCT1Co5r9</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vinh City Vietnamese Cuisine - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/Saxbz4v9U5LEsAGj6">https://maps.app.goo.gl/Saxbz4v9U5LEsAGj6</a></span></div></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This is content from http://harrycath.com/</div>Have Perut Will Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17652471545750623061noreply@blogger.com0Jln Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur 3rd floor TC033-032, Jln Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia3.1448195 101.7112465-47.230438284824871 31.3987465 53.520077284824865 172.02374650000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505612977677877907.post-74314567718594359232024-02-01T11:00:00.004+08:002024-02-03T17:04:15.567+08:00ROAR-some Thursday: 5 Mall Hop<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's Federal Territory Day!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It being a public holiday for Kuala Lumpur and with a new toy to play with we ventured out of our condo at eleven in the morning bound for Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. We caught a free GOKL Red Line bus in front of Sarah Hughes to the Muzium Negara stop.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There we disembarked and took an elevator down two floors to the Muzium Negara MRT station. We caught a train bound for Kajang for a fare of RM1.80 (approximately USD/EUR0.40) and disembarked at the Tun Razak Exchange MRT Station to begin the first of five malls today. The reason? We wanted to capture the Chinese New Year themed decorations at each of the five malls that we hoped to visit today.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">All done with The Exchange TRX we hopped back into the train bound for Kwasa Damansara for a fare of RM1.20 (approximately USD/EUR0.30) and disembarked at the Bukit Bintang MRT station. We exited the station and walked a short distance to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Here we captured footage of both the exterior and interior Chinese New Year themed decorations.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then walked out and onto Jalan Bukit Bintang headed southwest. We walked across Jalan Sultan Ismail then took an escalator up and past the Monorail station before we entered Sungei Wang Plaza. The Chinese New Year themed decorations here were quite underwhelming, but it did not matter since we intended to have lunch here anyway. Be sure to catch the upcoming video of Vinh City Vietnamese Cuisine!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A little under an hour later we walked out of the restaurant then rode an elevator down to the surface level and walked across Jalan Bulan 1. We headed southeast before making our way across a footbridge that took us into Berjaya Times Square.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We shot some footage of the Chinese New Year themed decorations here and then walked out onto Jalan Imbi, headed to the final mall of the day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you guessed that we were headed to our new favourite mall, LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre (LaLaport BBCC) then you were spot on. We spent some time here shooting footage of the Chinese New Year themed decorations then had drinks at Starbucks. We got the Toffee Nut Crunch Latte & Butter Brew Frappuccino for only RM20.00 (approximately USD/EUR4).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As soon as we took our seats to our surprise a lion dance began, so be sure to catch the upcoming video of this jaw-dropping exhibition!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We left LaLaport BBCC at half past three and walked to the Hang Tuah Monorail station. We took the train for a fare of RM2.60 (approximately USD/EUR0.50) to the Medan Tuanku Monorail station. We walked briskly back to our condo since there were dark clouds rolling fast.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thus ended our mini walkabout, so be sure to catch our next video where we (hopefully) wake up to enjoy a quiet morning of car-free Sunday!</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="359" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nrBGBwvrxmg" width="489" youtube-src-id="nrBGBwvrxmg"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Do visit our YouTube Channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/harrycath">Have Perut Will Travel</a>)</i></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">📍 Location:</span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Havironia Music - <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/swtNfVmjFK4FgRsf8">https://goo.gl/maps/swtNfVmjFK4FgRsf8</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Exchange TRX - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/8NCnRtTmVzpr4bNd6">https://maps.app.goo.gl/8NCnRtTmVzpr4bNd6</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Pavilion Kuala Lumpur - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/yGvPjDnYPhWV7MNg7">https://maps.app.goo.gl/yGvPjDnYPhWV7MNg7</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sungei Wang Plaza - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/HY465ueAqCT1Co5r9">https://maps.app.goo.gl/HY465ueAqCT1Co5r9</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vinh City Vietnamese Cuisine - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/Saxbz4v9U5LEsAGj6">https://maps.app.goo.gl/Saxbz4v9U5LEsAGj6</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Berjaya Times Square - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/YKDs61S7QkV1AUaH8">https://maps.app.goo.gl/YKDs61S7QkV1AUaH8</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">- <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/MpYBsrwAPBfm48Xi7">https://maps.app.goo.gl/MpYBsrwAPBfm48Xi7</a></span></div></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This is content from http://harrycath.com/</div>Have Perut Will Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17652471545750623061noreply@blogger.com0Persiaran TRX, Tun Razak Exchange, 55188 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia3.1426617 101.7175835-25.167572136178844 66.5613335 31.452895536178847 136.8738335tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505612977677877907.post-78609864398864215492024-01-27T11:00:00.007+08:002024-01-28T22:11:16.796+08:00New Gear Day: DJI Action 4 - Altech Camera • Hawker Chan • Sunny Side Up<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">New Gear Day!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's been a month since we came back from Penang. In that time work had again consumed my time,so today was the first time quite a while that we went out purposefully in search of content.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While we love our DJI Action 3 its low light performance left much to be desired. I contacted CM of Altech Camera over at Berjaya Times Square yesterda and made a deal to trade in the body of the DJI Action 3 (minutes all its accessories acquired under the Adventure Combo package) for the DJI Action 4 (Standard combo).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Today we left our condo at eleven and walked north along Jalan Munshi Abdullah before making our way across Jalan Dang Wangi. We continued west for a while before turning right onto Jalan Medan Tuanku headed back north.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then continued onto Lorong Medan Tuanku 2 then turned right onto Jalan Sultan Ismail before taking an escalator up to the Medan Tuanku Monorail station. A few short minutes later we caught a train for a fare of RM2.30 (approximately USD/EUR0.50) to the Imbi Monorail station. We disembarked and entered Berjaya Times Square and made our way to Altech Camera. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here we met up with Eric who gave our DJI Action 3 a thorough inspection and look over before giving it his seal of approval. We then paid the difference between the two cameras of(RM1,000 (approximately USD212/EUR195), and were then the proud owners of a brand new DJI Action 4!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I attached the Action 4 to a lanyard strap and began our testing!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We headed out of Berjaya Times Square and walked southwest along Jalan Imbi before taking an escalator up and across footbridge that took us directly into LaLaport BBCC.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We then headed down to the lower ground for lunch. During the pandemic if we had a hankering for Chinese food our go-to restaurant on the Grab app would always be Hawker Chan. One we entered the endemic stage we saw less and less of this restaurant, so it was kind of nostalgic to have lunch here today after all this time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We had a seat, scanned the QR code and ordered the:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Roasted Pork Rice for Cat</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kapitan Curry Pork Rice for moi</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Each a glass of Homemade Tea</span></li></ul></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our lunch came to RM39.25 (approximately USD/EUR8). We then strolled into Jaya Grocer and got ourselves a bagful of pastries for dinner for RM40.10 (approximately USD/EUR8), then made our way out of LaLaport BBCC. We took another escalator up and into the Hang Tuah Monorail station.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A short while later we caught another train for a fare of RM2.60 (approximately USD/EUR0.50) back to the to the Medan Tuanku Monorail station. We got off and strolled onto Jalan Doraisamy since wanted to check out the Sunny Side Up flea market.

Clichéd as it may sound, but time did fly when you're having fun.</div><div><br /></div><div>We awoke at a quarter to seven confident of making it to Queensbay Mall before 9:30am which was when we thought the Aeroline bus would depart.</div><div><br /></div><div>Half an hour later I casually glanced at our bus tickets to discover in horror that our bus was departing at 8:30am, not 9:30am as first thought!</div><div><br /></div><div>With Brendan just about to shower it was a mad scramble to get ready and hail a Grab car. Thankfully we invested a fair amount of time to pre-pack all that we could the night before, leaving only our pyjamas and toiletries to be packed this morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>We got ready and hailed a 6-seater Grab car for a fare of RM43.00 (approximately USD/EUR) that picked us up at 7:48am.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Grab driver said we were fortunate to have hailed him when we did since most major roads in town would shortly be closed for a "fun run". He was experienced and knowledgeable who expertly 'maneuvered' his way around the streets of Georgetown.</div><div><br /></div><div>We arrived at Queensbay Mall at 8:03am which meant that the drive barely took 15 minutes!</div><div><br /></div><div>As a token of our appreciation for his expert navigation and constant assurances that we would make it on time. We gifted the driver Abang Mansor with a RM5.00 tip (approximately USD/EUR1).</div><div><br /></div><div>The bus eventually departed Queensbay Mall at 8:35am and drove across the 2nd Penang bridge at 8:50am, and past the Bandar Cassia toll plaza at 9:05am.</div><div><br /></div><div>The drive was as smooth as silk and a little over 2 hours later we arrived at the Petronas station at the Simpang Pulai R&R for a potty break.</div><div><br /></div><div>We resumed the silky-smooth drive at 11:15am, but encountered a slow down in traffic half an hour later near the Ladang Bikam R&R. After a while the traffic cleared and we were on our merry way again. False alarm!</div><div><br /></div><div>Traffic was smooth for the next 2 hours then slowed down again near Rawang due to an accident.</div><div><br /></div><div>We eventually arrived at the Jalan Duta toll plaza at 1.20pm, the entire journey taking a total of about 5 hours. What a contrast it was to the almost 10-hour ordeal we endured on our trip to Penang!</div><div><br /></div><div>We then arrived at Corus Hotel at 1:45pm and hailed a 6-seater Grab car driven by Sim Ming Siong driving a new Perodua Alza bearing the registration number VCP9395. We watched him approach us on the Grab app but then stopped at Ascott Star. He then called me to ask for our whereabouts, to which I explained that we are waiting for him at the Corus Hotel.</div><div><br /></div><div>He insisted that we were at the wrong place despite the Grab app's pin clearly showing the pick up point at Corus Hote. He then began to be verbally abuse us, then cancelled the ride! We then hailed another 6-seater Grab car for a fare of RM27.00 (approximately USD/EUR) and got home at 2:00pm.</div><div><br /></div><div>We will probably go on another trip somewhere in March to celebrate my 55th birthday, so in the meantime we will post the usual weekend escapades.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have to work on my New Year's resolution, so take care and Happy New Year everyone!</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hTJOowIBB14" width="478" youtube-src-id="hTJOowIBB14"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Do visit our YouTube Channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/harrycath">Have Perut Will Travel</a>)</i></div></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">📍 Location:</span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Green House at Popus - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/zc3ieNVt2L1WxYTZ6">https://maps.app.goo.gl/zc3ieNVt2L1WxYTZ6</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Queensbay Mall - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/4bZeYKi8sUW8ZjET8">https://maps.app.goo.gl/4bZeYKi8sUW8ZjET8</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aeroline Penang - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/1gs7mzRf42cJHAKJ8">https://maps.app.goo.gl/1gs7mzRf42cJHAKJ8</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Corus Hotel Kuala Lumpur - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/c1hUq4XunBDc1YXS7">https://maps.app.goo.gl/c1hUq4XunBDc1YXS7</a></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aeroline (KL) - <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/VUbLBLFGt4xAd7UB8">https://maps.app.goo.gl/VUbLBLFGt4xAd7UB8</a></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This is content from http://harrycath.com/</div>Have Perut Will Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17652471545750623061noreply@blogger.com0GF-143A, Queensbay Mall, 100 Persiaran Bayan Indah, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Penang, Malaysia5.3336558 100.3068166-22.976578036178847 65.1505666 33.643889636178848 135.4630666tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505612977677877907.post-57700171911522526902023-12-31T12:30:00.002+08:002024-01-18T20:43:21.659+08:00Cat's Birthday Treats: BaBa Phang • Secangkir Kopi Hitam<div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Cat's Birthday!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After returning from Chowrasta Market I began searching online for a suitable place to take Cat out to her birthday luncheon. I asked her what she was in the mood for, and she said she wouldn't mind trying the Peranakan cuisine here in Penang since we've been to so many such restaurants in Melaka.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I then asked Jen of SmokePapa BBQ for her opinion, and she immediately suggested we try BaBa Phang.
