Kuala Lumpur retreat ( Day1 ) (Part 2)
Hi, Im back for my second review for my KL trip. Just realised that Im still stuck with Day 1. Alright, I shall begin. if you have missed out on my Day 1 (part 1) post, you may click on the link and it will direct you over.
Basically for this KL trip, we are always eating and shopping, making use of the time to relax ourselves and not vexed up with our work. We had a good shop at Fahrenheit 88 which was located a few steps from Lot 10. We decided to skip Lot 10 as there were not many things to walk around unless you are interested im getting a pair of sports shoes/ apparel, It does seem like Queenstown shopping mall to me.
Three of our aimed were to go for a good massage at one the Thai massage centre but we had to book an appointment with the massage centre in order to secure our seats. The massage centre seemed empty on the look of the inside but we have to wait for an hour for our slot. So within that 1 hour of free time, we went for a good high tea at Mad about Choco ( Well, it was told to be popular and a must try dessert on trip advisor).
What lingered me was their baby blue and baby pink interior. Isnt that amazingly sweet colours to see when you enter the shop? Every corner got me attracted by their colours. design and what's more with their cute graphics hanging on the wall with a tinge of retro theme.
Their menu, with a picture of man with bushy hair remind me of our very local celebrity ( Phua Chu Kang), just that it was without a mole on his face and a shade to turn him on. Pictures of desserts just drool my saliva. An add point for this dessert shop was every dessert found on the menu came with a picture of how it will look like,
Heavenly hazelnut molten cake (RM 20 )
The hazelnut makes this molten lava cake amazingly delicious. It’s heavenly! You seriously gotta try this yourself! The chocolate is rich, creamy and sweet enough but dark chocolate doesn't cause diabetes right? Don't worry about being over-dosed with sweetness. But a cost price of Sgd $7.50, can you accept it? Just accept la looking at the exploded lava cake. Hehehe.
I heart churros (RM16)
I heart churros like I heart you! But anyway, we were served with 4 pieces of churros. For a RM16 dessert for just 4 pieces? Daylight robbery leh. The churros was sprinkled with fine sugar. It stated cinnamon but i tasted no cinnamon flavour at all. The small little bowl was served with milk chocolate and it got harden after a few mins. Imagine we have to dip our churros into a harden chocolate? Similar like eating calbury chocolate.
The rest of the pictures will get you laughing like a laughing gas. So mad about choco has a small little booth which have different kind of funny props. ( For example PCK wig, geek specks, funky little hairstyle) so a mischievous me went over to play with the props. HAHA, i grabbed a wig and a big spec and request Geraldine to snap a picture of me. After which, all of them laugh until the whole ceiling is going to drop down.
I wanted a revenge so I forced them to put on the wig and that's my turn to laugh at them. Aren't we chio or not? Ying Wei looked super AH SAO please. Geraldine? HAHAHA, speechless!
HAHAHA, I guess all the shopping and waking up early has drained Ying Wei off. Once she was seated on the cosy sofa, she straight entered into her dreamland, on a deep good sleep. And there was me to prank on her ( partly is Geraldine's idea too)
Mad about choco is definitely a good place to chill and indulge with all their chocolate. They really have alot of sweet treats offered there.

Fahrenheit 88.
Finally its our massage time. I heard good reviews about Thai Odyssey so I decided to try it. The massage and spa centre is within the mall itself.
Upon stepping in, I was greeted by the receptionist who was busy writing down appointments made by guest. The massage package wasn't cheap at all. For an hour of Thai massage, it costs up to RM109 whereas if you opt for therapy massage, it would cost even more. In the end, we went for the head, neck and shoulder massage. That's RM 66 inclusive tax for 30 minutes
We were then escorted to the room to start on our massage, I was served by a lady who can speak fluent English and Basic Chinese. The force that she exerted was good enough ( at least I could hear the crack sound at the end of the day). While the other two were struggling on the pain that their masseur exerted, i could feel that they are feeling alittle uncomfortable but the whole session was a fast 30 mins to go.
Our last stop for the day, JALAN ALOR for dinner. Jalan alor was known for their chinese "Zi Char / seafood" restaurant and was claimed to be the most affordable seafood in town. No false words from the website, we experienced ourselves and was awed by how many same stalls were lining up along the streets. That added up to business competitive. All Chinese cuisine so I doubt it will not be a good place for Muslim friends.
We were mainly walking and looking around and every restaurant that we walked past, the boss of the house would call us in or even offered us to look at the menu. We ignored, we stopped by and finally decided on Restoran Sai Woo.
Our Stingray, Sambal fried rice and nonya prawns. It tastes quite okay. Not sure how RM50 fare? But I feel its worth it la! Imagine we were given 500g of Stingray for only RM15!
Decided to take a selfie and didn't realised the two tourists were standing behind us. Furthermore they were posing for us. In the end, the lady offered to take a photo for us.
The LOK LOK cart that I havent seen for long. So many sticks of finger food to choose from but we were full so we packed back a few sticks to our apartment for supper.
Time for supper and have a good rest! It was a long and relaxing day 1.
More up for Day 2.
Till then.
