KL Biz Trip Dec 2010

Yes, heading off to KL once again for a 2D1N biz trip.

The usual 8 plus flight, which means that I have to leave home by 6.30am for a smooth journey to the airport from the West. Hopefully things will change for the better when we move into love nest, as we'll be closer to the airport :)

Breakfast from coffee bean. Strangely, I always patron coffee bean when I'm at the airport and no where else.

Rinta grabbing her breakfast @ her usual breakfast place in KL :)

my mini snack

Guess where we are staying this time?

Here's a hint :)

"Native to Southeast Asia, mandarin oranges generally refers to a group of oranges with thin, easy-to-peel, reddish-orange skins. For the Chinese celebrating the Chinese New Year, the fruit is regarded as a particularly auspicious gift, as its name is similar to the word for gold in Chinese. Mandarin oranges are usually eaten out of hand, although it is also popularly used in salads, puddings, tarts and cakes."

Obvious enough? This time round, we checked into Mandarin Oriental, which was in close proximity to KLCC. Check out the view from my window!

The garden surrounding KLCC complex

Twin towers in daylight.

Joining my beds together, as they were only left with double beds instead of queen.

Cosy corner where I devour the oranges, haha!

Love the doors to the toilet!

I always love hotel toilets. They are spacious, clean and best of all, I don't need to clean it myself :p

Refreshment area. Love the container in which they keep the sachets of teas and coffees instead of leaving it lying around the tray.

Hotel lounge where business meetings take place over coffee and snacks. Yes, they are allowed to smoke indoor, not a plus point for me.

Took our clients out for lunch at this Italian restaurant near their office. Servings were huge and the cream pasta start to get jialat towards the end :(

The weather looked gloomy & we were stuck in the hotel working while waiting for the next meeting.

Dinner was @ Chinoz, KLCC. This place served a fusion of Japanese, Asian, Italian and many more. So if you have no idea where to grab a bite, head down to this place.

We came across this bakery that specialized in cupcakes. OMG, they looked to pretty that I couldn't bear to eat them.

The twin towers dazzling under the dark sky.

After 8 hours later, time to head down to the lobby for breakfast.

After a couple of meetings later, I felt hungry again and we headed back to the hotel to pack and check out. I'm always hungry whenever I'm on business trips and Rinta reckoned that it could be the extra weight that I have to lug around - my 3.5kg laptop & other stuffs that I've prepared for our clients. No wonder!

These snacks were so addictive that we had to ask for 2nds :p

Guess that's what?

Cover to keep my pot of tea warm :)

Nice perk-me-up

The final trip of 2010 & many more to come in 2011 :)

Food for Thought

I'm going to do this the lazy way. Click here for the food review @ Food for Thought.

This is one place that I'll not visit (unless I'm dragged there by force!) as the service was sooooo bad & this ranks top of my bad service list currently. However, the meet up with FMQ & guest appearance of TYW way made up for the bad service :)

Rare appearance by TYW! He always reminds me of the BFG - big friendly giant, cuz he speaks in such gentle tone.

The fave foodie :)

Guys dressed in blue.

Coincidentally, we were dressed in blue as well.

Always good to catch up with frens :)

Vday 2011

Vday was celebrated with made-with-love bento for Leecher. Leecher surprised me with flowers, even though he hinted previously that I won't be receiving any flowers this year, cuz we are considered old (love)birds, LOL! Nevertheless, we didn't fall prey to any restaurant gimmicks ever since the 1st Vday, so we headed home for dinner :) nothing beats coming home to dishes whipped up by mummy dearest!

CNY with brothers & sisters

CNY reunion dinner with sisters & brothers @ Wah Lok, Carlton Hotel.

The restaurant was filled with people. Thankfully Qian called a day before to secure a table for us!

Black-velvet menu, which don't really gel with the chinese entrance of red banners.

Ordered the small yusheng to lo-hei!

All prepared for the t.o.s.s :)

Huat ar! Wish that Leecher will pamper me more in the coming years, LOL!

The dim sum meal was quite good on average, though a bit pricey. Skip the yee fu noodles if possible.

Brothers' representative - Ryan & Joe

Sisters came out in full force!

with the lovely brothers and sisters, missing Ron & ZZG, who were away in BKK! They didn't even jio us to go with them as the 2 love birds need time alone themselves, LOL.
