We stayed in Baba House which is within walking distance to most of the major attractions.
The parking lot of Baba House is at the rear. We did have some trouble getting to the rear due to misunderstanding the map which the receptionist provided us.
The Baba House features nyonya archicture and furnishings. One thing we noticed about houses here is that they are narrow and long/deep.
This is where breakfast is served. (more…)
My sister and I went for an overnight trip to Melaka.
We stopped for tea at Ayer Keroh Restoran Jejantas, one of the few that exists in Malaysia. It’s a bridge across a highway that hosted some restaurants and shops.
Melaka is just about two hours drive from Puchong.
Since we arrived way before our check in time, we visited Mini Malaysia which is on the way to town center. Please note that foreign tourist pays more than double for an adult entry ticket.
There is a life bull cart at the parking lot for photography. (more…)
My youngest brother brought me to the night market in the neighbourhood where my sister lives.
The night market comprises of sellers from clothing, toys, vegetables, fish, meat, snacks and many food stalls. Here are some of the pictures which I took.
After picking my niece up, we went to meet up with my brother in law for dinner.
We had dinner at Restoran Lan Je in Puchong.
This restaurant used to be very busy. It’s theme is one fish for one person.
The fish served in this restaurant is Tilapia and the fish is not big. That’s why its theme is one fish for one person.
We had two to share among four of us. The above was the spicy one. (more…)

My niece (Ben’s brother’s daughter) picked me up for shopping and dinner on a Friday evening.

We had a light snack at this Sisters Crispy Popiah stall in the mall. It was voted the best popiah by Star People’s Food in 2014/2015.
