More Photos from Pavilion

I thought I might as well add more from the current photos I have taken from Pavilion the other day.

I could have chilled out a bit longer but unfortunately it had been very busy lately workwise. I do have some personal leave coming up on the second week of December. Planning to go to Fraser's Hill again. I am sure there would be plenty of photos then .....

Pavilion Xmas Decor

One of the advantage of a multi-cultural society is the regular festivities that we had. And during this period, the shopping malls in town would be lavishly decorated, filled with night lights and gimmick. Despite the economic slow-down and the recent haze, everybody were still looking forward for a bit of flair and creativity.

As of every year, I looked forward to what Pavilion had to offer. This year, it was more glitters than snow, with Swarovski being the main sponsor at the lobby. They had a five-storey Xmas tree on show, filled with crystals and lights. The train and the grotto made a comeback and the area by the main entrance and the fountain were filled with lights as well.

Last night, I had the chance to explore the place at night, trying to absorb the light show. The main lobby was still closed for installation last week, so yesterday was the first time I explored it as well.

It was the ASEAN Summit weekend and with Obama in town, we were expecting some traffic flow problems. Despite that, there were still plenty of people out on the Saturday night. I wonder what Nu Sentral and 1Utama have in store ….

Heavy Security Presence

Pavilion was located just opposite JW Marriott and during the weekend, President Obama was in town attending the ASEAN Summit Meeting. There was certainly heavy security, Police and Military presence in town, especially after what happened in Paris 10 days back.

Luckily the traffic interruption was more organised than I thought. Flow was actually pretty decent and I was able to get in and out of Pavilion without too much hassle. There was always traffic police pointing the way and there was hardly any queue. Timing was certainly of the essence and it was best to avoid the start and the end of the summit programme as those were the time when road-blocks were set up.

I was out there for a spot of dinner with Anita while enjoying the Xmas decorations. There were certainly plenty of security by the fountain, but that just added to the buzz of the place .....

At Yeast Again

It was still early when I arrived at Bangsar. Way before lunchtime. The breakfast menu was still available. Anita was still on the way, and so I took the table and ordered for her.

Even at this hour, the restaurant was already half full. The late morning crowd was just about to leave while those coming for early lunch was already outside. A few "reserved" signs were put up at the table around me. I was sure that by the time lunch was in full swing, there would be queue outside.

By the time Anita arrived, the tables around us were already taken.

Yeast was fast becoming our go to place lately. The combination of cosy ambiance, great waiters and outstanding food just did it for us. It being within a walking distance from Bangsar Village also helped.

The menu was simple and there was not that many item on show. But the quality more than made up for the quantity.

Walking in Bangsar

After the maid issue was sorted, I decided to meet up with Anita for a spot of late breakfast cum early lunch in Bangsar. The destination? Yeast again. We just could not resist the breakfast there. It was just superb.

While waiting for Anita to come over, I ran a few errands at the bank while basking in the glorious sunshine. It was rare lately to see the sky so blue, while it was still breezy and cool. I just could not resist it!
