Saturday JB trip// 23rd August
Had a trip down to JB with bf to accompany his mum for a spine check up. We decided to cross path at second link check point as there were lesser crowd compared to woodlands check point. We had to leave the house way earlier (7am) to catch the first bus at Jurong East. This was the first that I have seen Aunty Jojo being frighten and afraid of check up. A strong woman like her has its own weakness too.
Lucky everything went fine, just that she needs to return back for a thorough x-ray before the doctor could come to a conclusion. *PRAY for a better result for her.
Had a quick breakfast after his aunt drove us over to the hospital. The queue was frantically crazy on a weekend. We waited 3 hours in the clinic for our name to be called. It was a long wait but the wait was better with accompany.
It was already noon when all the check up were done and aunty jojo brought us over to walk around JB. She specially brought us to this mall whom she loves it alot! She even brought back few boxes of mooncakes from Sutera mall for my Mum to try on it. We had our lunch at one of a Chinese restaurant lined outside the shopping mall. There's a alley filled with different eatery so it was a hard decision on what to choose for lunch. We practically walked in at one random shop and sat in to order our food.
I tried their Rendang Nasi Lemak while both Bf and his mum ordered some side dishes to go with their rice. Nasi Lemak there was good! The Rendang chicken was marinated well, the spices all over my mouth. Bf ordered sweet and sour pork, bean curd and Kailan. What I really love about the Kailan was on how creative the chef is. He fried the leaves of the Kailan with Olive oil and left it mixed with the rest of the Kailan stem. It tasted somehow like SEAWEED to me. Thumbs up for their creativity presentation.
We did our shopping together and walked around the mall for more than 4-5 hour trying to digest our food because we have been eating too much on this trip. *rubbing on my tummy much.
Shopping has always been a paradise for all women and it added points if your bf would graciously follow you around without any complaints.
Through Sutera mall sells alot of women clothes and im so crazy over their apparel there. But for a tight budget girl like me, Im lucky that I did not change alot of ringgit therefore stopped myself from spending.
It was then that we surrendered to walking and decided to have desserts in the mall. We walked past Blackballs shop and so much of loving their signature dish, we know that we have to give it a try! I know that they have a few outlets in Singapore but comparing the price here, it was so much cheaper. 50% cheaper you see!
TADA! Such a happy girl after getting a bowl of my favourite Taiwanese dessert. To compare the taste of it, Malaysia definitely win of their flavouring. It was more on a sweeter note especially when you add in their condensed milk.
So this Black ball Signature dessert comprises of Grass jelly/ Yam Q, Golden sweet potato balls, Red beans and Pearls. Because I shared with boyfriend, this bowl was whipped up very fast. If I would drop by again, I swear I will order one for MYSELF!

While waiting for Bf's uncle to drive us back, we pampered ourselves by doing a leg massage at RM42. It lasted for 1 hour, with 30 mins interval on each leg. Massage has been part of my needs whenever I feel that my legs are soring/ numb. Recently, my ankle gave me a headache! Somehow it gets painful when I walk, sometime its back to normal. So this time round, I went in to allow the masseuse to press on my foot, hopefully it can recover fast.
The masseuse was tentatively gentle enough! He even keep tracked on whether the strength he pushed was tolerable. Though there's a language barrier in between, he kept showing a "OK" sign to indicate whether its painful or not.
At last, dinner time! Dinner was just a simple "choose your own food and share". So we bought each item on every stall. Just like what Chomp Chomp had in Singapore. The waiting of the food took a little longer but the taste were so much better mainly because it was oily and there were more spices on it.
A hands down to the Popiah sold over there. It was wrapped with seaweed with the fillings of Popiah. What's more, there's no MSG/ Preservation. Healthy and cheap!
And last but not least, back to shelter to rest before we head back to Singapore and the kids in the house were curious about my selfie rod and bugged me to take photos with them.
Enjoyed my Saturday with the loved ones, what about you?
Till then.
