A year later`

So fast, its already a year since my last KL trip! again scary how time flies ........each trip u become more familar with the place and with less surprises (actually this is a good thing in msia isnt it? haha)......however, all i can stay that the Christmas vibe is definitely more happening than in Spore.

KL is growing.....they have BIG BIG malls.....full of labels ....intl mass label brands and high end stuff. Shops are big and decorated beautifully...restaurants too. very impressive i must say ...compared to spore but then again they have land...LAND ....mainly its space! labour is cheaper and rent is cheaper. Business is not exactly fantastic as a lot of shops may not see alot of buyers but still the mall is exciting with a lot of window shoppers.

i am not sure what is the porpotion of Singaporeans and Msians shopping. The way i see it....sporean shop like crazy especially girls 20-30s. i doubt the msians are shopping like that. Even the richer ones....they would all have access to a car. so really doubt they are all at malls like Pavillion and Mid Valley on weekends. So conclusion - everyone shopping in Sporean. haha...?

during the coach ride back, 4 gals in their 20s bought like 10 tons of clothes and shoes!! they were typical xizxue type youths buying the latest trendy stuff. bags of vincci shoes especially. 1 Seat was dedicated to just shopping bags! i really wonder if they bough a seat just to put shopping bags. could be as the coach was full when i booked.

the prices in msia is sort of low...and value...esp for food. its quite unbelievable. i must say food in msia is cloest to the spore taste...as in the usual south east asian fare. but the price! aiyo! i finally visited the Zang Toi Cafe at Pavillion. I ordered a set meal consisting of their signature zesty ice tea, club sandwich and dessert. i asked i could change to their signature banana choco cake for dessert. they said no problem! now how is that for service!!

the drink was great, with little zesty bits like mint, orange peel , lime......and then came the sandwich! wah ! it was huge!!! it didnt look particularly yummy but it was. a jumbo sausage with egg mayo, veg and chicken breast with toasted sesame seed bun. delicious!! but i could finsih the whol thing...tried very hard.
and then the dessert! - a slice of that famous cake with a scope of ice cream!!! nice!! but again cant go in liao...... all these for only..........$20rm!!! faint! thats like S$8. where can you get such value at nice setting and service????!!! not even in china i tell u!

yes in china, food is also very affordable but u can never get western food like this. maybe only chinese food. western food at this price in china will taste like ...usually bad.

i was happy with my shou huo this time.......managed to find my shampoo, Kate Diamond eyes, nice shoes (Ecplise), FACE SHOP (aiyo went a abit crazy here cuz price is like 1/2 of SG! and still got xmas discount!).....a nice chanel looking bag ---very cute too, earrings, hokkaido food at isetan....and presents for my parents. ....and Canton -i....now i know what is mean Char Siew!! .....no counting of calories when eating this.

now that i am writing this, i must thank KL for such a lovely weekend. over there i felt a bit guilty about eat eat shop shop again ...so meaningless....but now i realise...i just got a really good bargain and a different weekend.
