Vesak Day JB Trip!

This was kind of belated but, better be late than never, right?

Went JB on this year's Vesak day, which happened to fall on a Saturday. That's the 2nd time this country pumpkin author took a trip there. Yup, that's me. Haha. To be precise, 2nd, for leisure purposes. Actually went past before to Kota Tinggi. Kota Tinggi, kind of miss that place isn't it? Full of adventures and climbing, walking down from the mountain in the dark. Simply unforgettable. Opps, anyway, this post was meant for this JB trip. Haha.

First off, just after we stepped into Malaysian soil, then I gotta know that its City Square Mall was under renovation. I was thinking of buying packets and packets of little tidbits back home then. But oh well... the money was meant to be saved perhaps. Heh heh.

We went out of the building and tried to find this duck rice restaurant. Walked a bit, probably skirted round half of City Square Mall and my friends finally had their recollection back and there we found the 鴨皇 Duck King Restoran Hao Bi 好比驰名药材烧腊 . On the way there, noticed a few interesting people and the conditions of the surrounding. Plenty of thoughts. Ping-ed the feeling down after I got home that night... Just a little feeling.

So at the restaurant, we had a handful of dishes. Too bad, I wasn't fast enough to capture all of them. And my poor memories faded with time, luckily still have 2 pictures for mementoes.
Of course their trademark Herbal Roast Duck, an egg dish (forgot the name!) and some other dishes. HAHA. OK, I SUCK at remembering food! XD

Following the late lunch, we split into 2 groups, hopped on their cabs and went directly to our main aim of the day, KSL City Shopping Mall!

Ok, it was a new place for me, so kinda excited. Anyway, the shopping mall is just like... a shopping mall. Pretty big to be frank. They have a cinema called MBO, and they also got KBox! (with a plus behind!) KBOX PLUS. Don't know whether they've any link to our Kbox in Singapore. We walked around, grabbed some snacks like Auntie Anne (Didn't know Singapore also has?!) Taste like hot donut? Not bad. Wonder how much it costs in Singapore.

Walked until we felt like we've walked the whole building, we decided to take a walk outside, before our movie which was about 2 hours later if I remembered correctly. Saw Pontian along the way, some of us, decided to give it a try. As I wasn't feeling much hungry, I decided to just order something else. Peanut soup. Pontian Peanut soup! I went Pontian to drink Peanut Soup! Wahaha. While ordering I asked about the 湯圓 that can be added to the soup and in the end I said, “不要！”. I had probably never been so decisive in my life before. It was a firm “不要” that I cannot imagine I actually spit it out. I was amazed. Ok, the waitress was probably stunned for a while as well. My heart was saying, "sorry for wasting your time." Haha.

Anyway, the dinner we had was kinda fresh for me as well. ARASHI Shabu Shabu. Yup, fresh as in fresh experience, since it's an ala-carte shabu shabu. And of course, the food was fresh and raw for you to cook. Oh ya, and I really gotta say about the place, the atmosphere was awesome. It's like going for wedding dinner! Look at the decorations, lightings from the picture I took. Ok, there were more to the place but I only took this shot. The snow effect was of course, by the apps of my phone. XD

Look at that! Very nice color combination! Green, red, orange, yellow... Almost like a rainbow~ I had the herbal soup base. Nice, but as my friend said, no shiok effect. XD They had all the spicy soups like Tom Yam or 麻辣~

Ate until they clearing up and closing shop. It was that late and that's the end of our JB trip!

May go again soon!
