Back fr a 2 day road trip up 2 KL
god, the amt of food we had.... i shal
recall wt i had:

Sat 10 Dec
Bfast - Janen Jiang were late meeting at
checkpoint, so me n Ben went 2 hv Macs bfast.
1 SME (sausage mcmuffin with egg)
1/2 cup of tea

approx 915am: Arrive JB - have Kway teow Kway Chap

Each person eats a total of 8 rice balls plus rice, 2 servings
of white chicken n bit of liver. Barely drink. Cost: 60RM for
5ppl.

6-7pm Arrive KL. Hotel Fiasco begins.
confusion btw Malaysia/Malaya Hotel. Fren's cousin
sposed 2 book hotel delegated task to another fren.
3 degrees of seperation here: ME>FREN>COUSIN>FREN
ultimately - we have no rooms. All hotels nearby R
fully booked. We spring in2 action combing for any avail
room in 2 seperate groups. Grp B is succesful
in finding 2 rooms. Our one night in KL is spent
at "Budget Inn" 55RM for a double room.
quite a lok-kok place. Rm has aircon, double bed
n toilet. But... hard 2 describe... one of the most
lok-kok places ive ever slept in. They hv
rooms avail for hourly rental too.
To lift spirits, we have a good ie expensive dinner
at The Ship. Cost: most ppl spent 60-70RM each.
I cheapoed n spent 28RM.
My order: French Onion Soup, Steamed FIsh Fillet
with vegetables. The soup tasted fine, but cheese wuz
minimal. Vegetables wuz the FMV variety
and the fish sucked.
one of the few meals i remember feelin real badd
abt it. The steak, escargots n service wuz good tho - indeed,
do NOT order seafood in a place tt specialises in steak.

After Dinner activity: Popped down 2 bangsar.
Went 2 first place. had heineken. Sucky seedy smoky place.
Tried 2nd joint. Bingo! Telawi St. Bristro.
V cool vibes place. Good selecttion of drinks.
Had me a Strawberry LIT (nt good mattch tho)
n a german beer. the TAPAS wuz GOOD.

a) squid ink rice
b) tempura prawn
c) pate n biscotti
d) meats n cheese shavings
e) artichokes
f) some fishy cake thingie
g) some others stuff i dont recognise
h) salmon strips

Good stuff.

Back to hotel. Relatively high -
havin had 2.5 heinekens drunk quickly,
1 long island n somemore beer. nt much but abit
affected liao. Jane Jian go sleep
