Every kid in KL must go to this swimming pool at least once. It belongs to the British International School Kuala Lumpur but the pool is open to the public during the weekends. I'm not sure about the week days? Call BISKL to check. The pool has....... A.......click to learn what next.

Servicing Corporate Clients

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

I just don't get it. Is our service industry in Malaysia that bad?! 10 years ago, I worked in the corporate world and offered first class service to my clients. Whatever I agreed to, I delivered. Even if it meant me not having breakfast, lunch, dinner and staying.......click to learn what next.

Every Friday, Nana buys ME some lovely durians from Hock Choons - YAY! RM100 for 2-3 durians *gulp* But oh, sooooooooooooo goooooooood! T2 came along one day and whilst waiting for the durian man to cut open our durians, I asked her to SMILE! And what does she.......click to learn what next.

Basil Thai Restaurant in Bangsar Village 1

Don't play-play.....my baby can eat Thai food, I kid you not. I don't know how true it is that what you eat during your pregnancy trickles down to baby but I sure had LOTS of spicy food when I was pregnant with T2. And now she can eat.......click to learn what next.

Sakae Sushi in Bangsar Village

Posted on April 13, 2011April 4, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

T1 likes Sakae Sushi because they have this children's gimmick where you can eat from a train, plane or hovercraft. It is a good bento meal provided she finishes all of it and she usually does. I personally don't like the food so much but will comply depending.......click to learn what next.

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

I must say that I have been mighty pleased with the services extended to me by HSBC Bank Malaysia, in particular the Menara Milenium Branch and the Jalan Ipoh Branch. The guys I dealt with at both branches were very helpful despite me bringing the kids (who ran.......click to learn what next.

Buying organic broccoli in KL

Posted on April 12, 2011April 4, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

The biggest problem with buying organic vegetables, especially broccoli, is that every single time, there will be some worm or two, lurking within the florets. I always soak my broccoli now in SALT water so that these worms DIE and fall off into the water. Otherwise, you'll be.......click to learn what next.

Bakuteh accompaniments at Jalan Imbi

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Today, I was going to cook home-made bakuteh. I had the spare ribs defrosted, garlic ready, chilli padi, tofu, even tong ho vegetables and then guess what? My stupid kitchen pantry told me he didn't have the bakuteh sachets!!! How frigging unreliable!!! That REALLY pissed me off. I.......click to learn what next.

The below were created by T1 last year (yes, these are way old posts but they just NEED to be done) not following any of the Lego instructions. She will follow the Lego instructions ONCE whenever a set is new, and then jumble all the pieces into separate.......click to learn what next.

Bath Crayons for Children

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

The first time I ever saw bath crayons were in New York. That was a whole 3 years ago. Now, I believe you can get them here but back in the day, it was a novelty and so we brought back tons from New York. Of course, they.......click to learn what next.

Where to have a fun picnic in KL

Where to have a fun picnic in KL? One of the treasures we found great for picnics a few years ago (and since then many more have found it too *groan*) is the TTDI park near the WIM (Women's Institute of Malaysia). There are monkeys and squirrels and.......click to learn what next.

Grand Imperial Restaurant BSC

Grand Imperial Restaurant at BSC (Bangsar Shopping Centre) was the first restaurant we tried out when the NEW BSC had just about completed its renovations 2 years ago. And since then, we have always gone back. It's not that the food is that great, but it's not bad.......click to learn what next.

Have you guys been here? What do you think? It's located in SS2 facing and parallel to the LDP. You're not allowed to take pictures in there, so I hear. Power to bloggers, eh? Well, to be fair, I only had the Assam Laksa so can only comment on the.......click to learn what next.

Haagen Daz at Bangsar Village 2

Posted on March 1, 2011March 1, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Hmm....how come a post on Haagen Daz does not have ice-cream in the picture? Probably because we always gobble it up too damn fast. Haagen Daz in BV is a frequent stop for us for dessert. We never share our ice-cream so each one gets their own thing.......click to learn what next.

Ipoh Old Town in Lucky Garden, Bangsar

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Ipoh Old Town in Lucky Garden, Bangsar, is my father-in-law's favourite restaurant in KL, not that he's been to too many. It just so happened that we found one he liked near our home and he was hooked. We make a trip every time he's down from Kelantan........click to learn what next.
