More MAHA 2008

22 08 2008

because I am an addict :P

Due to time constrain the previous day, we only manage to visit the technology, agencies and food products exhibition part. I went again the following day to visit the livestock part. Hey, when they say they have goat semen collection and cattle milk extraction demonstrations I want to see, ok!

To visit other parts, you will need to take a tram. The area covered by the expo is huge. Unless you intend to burn off the roti boom you ate in the morning, do not attempt to walk ;D

Other attractions:

  • Livestock exhibition
  • Petting zoo
  • Rodeo show
  • Pineapple farm
  • Paddy farm

Along the way in the tram, you will be briefed about plantations and facilities in Mardi and at each station, you will be informed about what you can see or buy at that particular area.

KL Eat & Shop: Day 2

4 05 2008

Jian and two of her unimates came to KL last week. After a terrible start to get to Taman Connaught’s pasar malam by public transport, it was compromised by a good makan time trying all the street foods I missed out on my last time there.

cutlery

The next day, we went up 41 floors to KLCC skybridge before lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. We ended up around office hour lunch time and it was packed with patrons in suits and office wear.

salt & pepper

*whispers to Jian* Wah, I feel we are so out of place :P

interior

The interior is nice and comfortable. There’s al fresco dining area overlooking the beautiful lake and fountain in front of Suria KLCC. But with the heat outside, it’s better to pass off the romantic sentiment and stay indoor.

Kung Pao pasta #1

Kung Pao Spaghetti with Chicken RM24.90

Kung Pao pasta #2

A spicy and slightly oily dish of al dente spaghetti, stir fried with dried chili, tender chicken, sweet spring onions, and finally a sprinkle of peanuts.

Santa Fe pizza #1

Santa Fe Chicken Pizza RM27.90

Santa Fe pizza #2

An 8′ (or is it 9′?) crusty pizza topped with chopped cilantro, grilled chicken breast and Mozzarela cheese. In the middle, a mount of tomato salsa, guacomole and sour cream. Perfect combination of taste ^.^

Santa Fe pizza #3

Crispy~

We were rather dissapointed with the serving size because other tables seem to get larger portion than us. But the waiter said that there is only one standard serving size. And a glass of water cost RM1 :(

The tube

After the meal, we headed to Aquaria KLCC. For MyCard holders, the entrance fee is RM28. When the operator asked if we were students and said that we are only required to pay RM20 if we are, we quickly showed our student cards. Hehe n_n

piranha

Piranhas! I didn’t know they could be that small yet so deadly. Really cili padi by nature.

Lizards

sea creatures
