20 Hours in Malacca

Hello everybody!..It's been too long that I haven't been blogging and I gotta admit that I missed it. The reason for that is because I have been attending interviews and I gotten a job. Survived week two working after so long of not doing office work. Yay me. It's the weekend and I can finally post something.

It was 4 weeks ago that I visited Malacca for my cousin wedding on the grooms' side. Yes the event was 4 weeks ago and I only posted it now. I don't care if it is "basi" by now. Anyway, it was a short and sweet trip. We left from KL at 7pm and waze'd our way to the destination and arrived around 9pm. We stayed at Hotel Puri at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. This place is the freaking Narnia!..It looks small from the outside but once you're in it has corners and turns and it's pretty big. The decor is very charming baba nyonya style, the room is cozy with 2 single beds for me and sis. It is also strategically located with walking distance to the famous Jonker Walk. After arriving and freshen up we thought to explore Jonker Walk and have dinner somewhere. Ended up walking the night away next to the Malacca River and eating at a random stall. It was a nice night despite being completely exhausted from all the walking and bustling around crazy crowd.

The next day we attend the wedding and headed back to KL. The highlight of the trip is definitely the hotel. I really reccomend it to anyone who wanted to stay at Malacca city.

Hotel Puri

We arrived!..The street is a one way street and very narrow and a pain to find a parking spot. Luckily the hotel staff helped.

I can't get enough of the tiles here.

Such a cozy and cute room. Really worth the price.

The view from our room overlooking the garden cafe. Love it.

We began to explore Jonker Walk and stroll around Malacca River. It's so pretty at night. Unfortunately the restaurant were all full that we couldn't eat at this area.

Breakfast for champion.

The next day was scorching hot.

Dinner at Al-Rawsha, Shah Alam

After half an hour going round and round Shah Alam we finally arrive here at Al-Rawsha restaurant, No.2 Jalan Platinum Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. It's actually a solo big building that no one will miss and I'm sure people of Shah Alam are well aware of this place but because me and my sisters are not familiar with this place (and also Google maps fail), it took us longer than we should. Inside the restaurant is nice with Moroccan-like decor with beautiful wall details and even the sink is nice with pretty tiles.

Our mission was to have Arab cuisine for dinner. My personal mission was to stuff my face with hummus. I am a hummus monster. I make my own now and again but the blender we have at home is really meh so it came out not as smooth.

I ordered chicken shawarma and moutabel which is a dip made from eggplant, garlic, olive oil, lemon and more. I let my sisters ordered the hummus. They ordered a lamb rice dish and lamb stew (forgot what its called actually). As you can see they are obsessed with lamb. Even the hummus is hummus with lamb. I'm not really a fan of lamb but the lamb hummus is so yummy that I don't mind it at all. The price is ok in my opinion. Not crazy expensive and well suited with the food as it tastes great. The portion is quite generous and we actually had to take away some leftover as we're full just by eating the bread with hummus and moutabel.

The restaurant from outside. This place is huge with a bright red signage. You will not miss it from far once you get on the right street.

Going inside. There are two knights guarding this place.

Out the washroom. Seems like a nice little spot for ootd.

The faces of grouchy and "hangry" (hungry+angry) human. Kahkah.

We took quite a bit of time going through the menu.

The intricate wall detail.

Left ; lamb hummus, right : moutabel, both comes with flat bread. So so yummy. Writing this blog post makes me hungry at 1.00am. Sigh.

Diving in the hummus and moutabel. I just wish the moutabel had a teeny bit salt but I don't wanna complain. Everything else is so delicous.

My chicken shawarma is so yummy with just the right amount of spicy.

Our fooood..before we demolish

The sink!..I'm a sucker for pretty tiles.

With one of the knights.

Pretty chandelier

Towards the car. I like the colourful glass window.

A Garden Wedding @ Puri Buana Garden Wedding, Bangi

On Sunday 10th of May 2015,  we attend a wedding of our cousin, Sheereen and her partner Syafiq. Another wedding for Bani Idrus. The location is at Puri Buana Garden Wedding at Bangi. The concept was garden wedding of course as the location itself suggests. The setting of this place is very dreamy and interesting. I've always favoured outdoor wedding anyway because of the decor although indoor wedding has an advantage of air-condition. We were there from 10.30am for the solemnization until 4.00pm. At the start it was nice and windy but come midday the weather kinda gets the better of me. We had a nice meal, eat lotsa popsicle to cool us down, take lotsa photo because there is always a nice background here. Congrats again to the newlyweds!

Just arrived. The entrance was dreamy so gotta pose.
