Pepper Lunch
Although there is a menu at the counter, on every table, they still included booklet menu. Reminds me of Pasta Mania.
Mine after cooking. Apparently, notice I have no photos of me cooking the dish. WHY? B'cos Blamer is already busy goofing down her rice to take pics of me... : (
Verdict: not too bad leh, like the saltiness of the food ha ha, especially the bean sprouts.

The Day Blamer Came Back
There was also the scene whereby the father crossed some railings to buy fruits for his daughter so that she can snack on the train. aka me at the railings too.
However, it was worth all the hard work b'cos Blamer was treating us to breakfast!! Must chop her carrot head and hence we headed for...
We tried to order everything on the breakfast menu, including some very expensive herbal tea which cost $7 per person. Very nice teapot and teacup though.
One of them is supposed to be the eight treasures tea while the other was some weirdly named tea. Can't really tell the difference between the two leh.
But anyway, here comes the food:
Roger ordered their signature noodles I think. Tasted like our hawker centre fare Satay Bee Hoon. Find the gravy a tat too thick and u can get quite sick of it after a few mouthfuls.
Think this is by far the best dish so far. Spicy dumplings, the sauce goes well with everything else on the table.
Savoury bean curd was the name of this dish, but I just think it's bland. The one at 油条王 in Geylang tastes better.
This is just their plain bun. Their breakfast mainly consisted of flour, flour and more flour.
Overall verdict: I think some of the dish can be omitted as they are the same ingredients but prepared in a different manner. And the whole breakfast thingy cost well over $70. Definitely not worth the price tag.
Footprints in KL
My 1st official meet-the-clients-on-my-own business trip to KL. It was quite a packed journey, but nevertheless, i enjoyed myself pretty much too.
Woke up at 4am to catch the 7.10am flight @ T2. Been quite a while since I stepped into T2.
Since not many people are loitering in the departure hall, I decided that I should take a picture, haha.
Grabbed a quick breakfast - eggs and teh-O - @ Wang Jiao before boarding the flight
The journey to KL took only 1 hr - and the plane didn't even ascend into the clouds. I can still see land quite clearly.
This bed definitely wins hands down in terms of the number of pillows (Westin only had 4, this has 6!)
TV and working area - the TV channels are good! Can watch MTV, HK dramas etc. I watched "A Date with the Vampire 3" before dozing off at night.
After checking into the hotel, its nearly 10.30. Rushed to change to my "formal" clothes and its out to the 1st meeting at 11am. My client actually called me (when I was still on the way to the hotel) if the meeting could be earlier. Wa lao, if not for this 11am meeting, I no need to torture myself and took the 7am flight lo.
Poolside Lunch @ Marriott Cafe
Initially, I was very hungry cuz I only had 2 eggs in the morning @ 5am. When the food was served, I only ate like 4 calamari and 0.05% of the Penang laksa. So, go figure how "delicious" is the food.
Off the meet clients - 2 meetings in a row after lunch. Both went pretty well, morale-booster from the 1st meeting. The last meeting with XXX Bank was quite funny, the managers were all shocked that I was conducting the training. They even asked: Are you sure you are the one? Haha, they told me that they were actually expecting a more "mature" woman, haha.
Pardon me for my ignorance - I wasn't expecting the samosa to look like chinese dumplings! I thought they're supposed to be triangle, small and flat...
Dinner @ Hawker Centre
Mr X drove me around in his car to look at the sights of KL. We even went scouting for local food to satisfy my mum's taste buds, haha. (the only thing my mum likes abt my biz trips is that she knows I will bring food back for her to eat)
Looking at the flight details to see where I can check in my bags - somehow, I always have more things in my luggage on the return journey, even though I have gotten rid of my work stuff.
KL airport is kinda confusing in a sense that for international departures, you will need to take the aerotrain (our skytrain) to the other terminal to board the train. Kinda time-consuming i think ...
Before going down the escalator to clear the customs, so that I can take the train to the boarding gates
One good thing about this aerotrain is that it will open the gates (on one side) for people to alight first, before opening the gates on the other side for people to board. Perhaps, our skytrain should adopt the same measure, so that people won't be pushing and rushing their ways into the trains.
The flight was kinda empty. The economy sector that I was in - there were only like max of 20 pple. I wonder how they make money based on this, since the flight is like almost empty - and some of the passengers even travelled first class (saw a couple of them boarding through the first/business class gates)
