I first heard about this place from my dad, and read about it in a review as well as on Boo’s site. We headed there with my parents on Chap Goh Meh to give it a try. It’s located at the first floor of the Sime Darby Convention Centre…definitely not somewhere you would normally go past, so unless you’ve heard or read about it, it’s unlikely you’d ever find this place!

The food wasn’t anything spectacular…I would say it’s above average. Haven’t tried the dim sum as reviewed by Boo, but I definitely loved the Mango cream dessert!

The entrance to China Treasures

Fried fish with Thai sweet sauce

Chicken in Lotus Leaf…this was my least favourite dish as it tasted really bland

Fried prawns with mayonnaise. This was really good for the first few bites, but after two or three, you’d probably feel jelak (sick?) of the mayo!

Kai lan with garlic…yummy!

Sea cucumber (stuffed with what, I don’t know…coz I didn’t try this dish)

Tau foo faa…unfortunately, the soya beancurd tasted rather bitter!

Mango cream dessert…nice nice!

To get there, turnoff Sprint highway towards Kiara/Hartamas area. Keep left and turn at either the KLGCC turnoff, or the one after that. The signs are really easy to follow, unlikely that you’ll get lost. Call 03-20893788 for reservations.

Omg, hubby and I just tested out Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii…I’ve never had so much fun playing a game, seriously! The Wii’s remote can be used in so many ways, it’s amazing.

But boyyy…do my arms ache like crazy!

M&WS, you guys have GOT to try this game out tomorrow!

This Twitter thingy is pretty cool (and addictive!). First saw it at TL’s website. It’s like one of those sideblog/asides thingies that Wordpress has…but Twitter keeps it short and sweet by limiting each message to 150 characters.

Hubby came home with a surprise this morning.

Wii, plus The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Wii Sports.

Personally, I think it surpasses Xbox360 in terms of FUN entertainment! M&WS were here in the afternoon and the four of us tested Wii Sports out…tennis, bowling, baseball, boxing and golf! I spent a good 15 minutes after they left configuring my Mii, which is somewhat similar to an avatar.

We just bought an additional remote too…found out that one remote was definitely not enough after this afternoon’s session with M&WS. Just tested it out…imagine playing doubles tennis *almost* for real in the comfort of your own home… Plus, I trash-talked hubby till he lost in bowling…*grin*

We also tried abit of Zelda…boy, does it bring back good ol’ memories. Back in my second year of uni, we had the N64, and we spent long, cold weekend nights on the couch playing Zelda and Banjo Kazooie (well, hubby played, I was the backseat screamer driver).

I might still be feverish, but this is doing wonders to perk me up!

I love going on holidays. I love the planning, selecting the hotels, searching for places to go, to see, to eat.

I really want to go off for another holiday again, even though we just got back from HK two weeks ago. Right now, I would love to go to (in no particular order):

1. Maldives
2. London
3. Margaret River, which was so charmingly described by Chubby Hubby
4. Singapore!
5. Sydney, again
6. Bangkok/Koh Samui
7. Denmark
8. Switzerland, again
9. New Zealand, again
10. Korea, but not Seoul
11. Bali
12. Japan, again
13. Paris, again

…and the list goes on.

I want to spend one to two weeks in each place, to explore at my own pace. I can imagine being on a beach holiday, lying on the bed watching the fan turn lazily, going for a spa, watching the sun set or rise. I can imagine being on a city holiday, walking the whole day, trying new food, seeing new sights. Most of all, I want to bring my camera along to capture all the amazing scenery that I will be sure to see, to freeze a little moment in time for me to bring home and treasure.

I love the excitement of the night before…packing till past midnight, getting little sleep, yet waking up bursting with energy coz you know you’re going off on another ‘adventure’ again. I like the routine of reaching KLIA, checking in, having the same breakfast (everytime!) at McDs. I love boarding the plane and hoping that it’s not a full flight, that there are good shows to see along the way. I love getting another stamp on my passport. I love the feeling of not knowing exactly how the weather will be at the place that we’re going, of not really knowing if we’ll stumble onto some *great finds* (every trip MUST have a great find!). I love finding souveniers to bring back for close friends and family.

I absolutely hate coming home. The last day usually sees me feeling and looking very depressed. I would pout and tell hubby…”It’s over… “. I hate stepping out of KLIA into the sweltering humid weather that is KL. I hate unpacking. I hate doing the laundry. And I hate knowing that this particular holiday has come to an end and not knowing when we’ll get to fly off again.

For me, travelling is an escape from the reality that is life here. It’s an escape from the monotonous dreary day-in-day-out work. And it’s the unlimitless possibilities of what you will see, find, eat and experience *there*. And it’s the shared memories. I can never describe the feeling of driving through a totally quiet and empty road in New Zealand while being surrounded by snow capped mountains, crisp cool air, and 只對� 說 playing on the CD. But hubby knows.

If I had spare cash (and lots of it!), I would spend it on travelling. I would stay a month in every and any place that takes my fancy. And if I had unlimitless spare cash *dream dream*, I would travel first class with matching monogrammed Louis Vuitton luggages! But right now, I would be more than grateful for a chance to spend a short time in some of the places I’ve listed above.
