Wanderlust Diary

A business trip turned mini tourist adventure, this is what I recall my trip to Putrajaya, Malaysia. It was a mere spontaneous whim of mine to request to my boss if we can have a time out for a while after the project at our office in KL. We were suppose to go on a train trip ( I was researching hardcore online how to go, I had this thinking that maybe Malaysia is fun to explore while commuting). My boss however, was gallant enough to offer us a drive there instead.

Cruising our way, I remember it feels like a 30-minutes drive from the city. Actually, it looks so serene from afar, and even up close! My boss was narrating that this area was actually government buildings. The buildings looks Muslim inspired with lots of Mosque looking buildings.

Bring a friend for free for some destination, however all promos must depart from Singapore. That’s one of the reasons I miss Singapore, cheaper travel deals!!!!

After a long walk from Cityhall MTR then trying to find our way to a uncommon area to find a fantastic restaurant, we found the famous restaurant in Hongkong that serves great dimsum! Located at a sort of museum, quite a 20 minute walk from the MTR however we might have been lost. A no reservation policy, we thought by 1:30 p.m., the place would have eased a bit from the weekday lunch parade from nearby offices. However, we were up for a “long” surprise.

Starving for a best treat that Hongkong can give, we waited the infamous queue that brought us to dimsum heaven! I remember eating here last time I visited with my parents. That huge banquet hall looks like a typical place where Chinese people celebrate wedding banquets. I got giddy seeing push carts full of bamboo plates and mini dimsum plates.

I heard this festival in Bacolod is quite colorful and eye candy for a lot of first time visitors. I haven’t personally visited the place but I would want to someday.

We usually have a yearly family out of town trips and since we are a family of 9 people ( I got lots of siblings), the kids are not getting any younger so no more free stay in a hotel with my parents. Since I usually plan the trips, I scout for better deals (bigger space/beds) at the budgeted price. Last May, we went to Beijing and Shanghai, I opted for Agoda’s deal of Service Apartments.

In Beijing, we stayed at Luxury Serviced Residence. It is located within Chaoyang District, nearer to Beijing’s famous tourist attractions such as Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, etc.

We chose the 3 bedroom apartment that will fit 6-7 people however there was a change of room for us since they cannot give us the 3 bedroom that time (some water leakage at the bathroom), they gave us the 2 bedroom suite and a studio type apartment. It wasn’t so bad, my sister and I stayed at the studio type while my parents and 3 other siblings stayed at the other room. Though we prefer to stay in one apartment for the food, it was not bad.

It had a kitchen, pretty decent bathrooms, cozy living room area, table for laptop (free internet), huge clean beds. Overall the place was great to go back to after a long day of tourist attraction walking.
