Enter the Dragon

Impressive. That's all I can say. It was huge and even Irfan said so. The dragon in the main foyer of Pavilion. A huge one, gliding down from the seventh to the floor level on the second floor. All hung using pieces of string.

The main foyer was filled with ornaments and shops of course. But there were plenty to see though the place could be rather crowded. A definite thumbs up for the Pavilion on their efforts.

Buddy Bears Reunited

As mentioned last weekend, during my walk at Pavilion, I spent some time taking close-up of the United Buddy Bear by the famous fountain. There we certainly plenty to discover as the effort were much more intricate up close.

A bit of inside info on the project

At the end, I must say that my favorite was the Spanish one. It was pretty simple, mainly pattern of colorful tiles painted onto the bear. But they were colorful and ultimately joyful. That got my vote.

This is my favourite, from Spain

The African bears we not too bad either. Most of them depicted local arts and paintings. They also tended to be colorful with plenty of animal motif. The same cant be said about the European bears as they tended to be simple and bland. Oh well! Have a look and see what you think.

Teh Tarik it is

The admissions were coming rather too slow tonight. I decided to catch an early dinner but when I wanted to get out and pay, it started raining heavily. I was still stuck at the restaurant when I wrote this and the rain did not seem to be letting up.

Not much to eat here as I was already full and there were a couple of admissions waiting as well as a few other things to sort out in the ward. So, time for another cup of teh tarik! Cheers!

Tutti Frutti Time

Anita had been there a couple of times before. But today was the first time I step foot into Tutti Frutti, and I must say, the frozen yoghurt tasted yummy. Combined with the easy going ambiance, bright decor and easy access to what you wanted when you were preparing your own dessert, the feeling was hard to beat. The branch I visited was right along MRR2, a left turn from my Mum's place to return to our place.

There were some tasty choices here, and my boys certainly enjoyed playing around with the toppings and preparing their own concoction. I just wished that it was not that expensive. Each tub easily cost us RM15, and the boys hardly finished half of it. I did not take any as I shared Anita's chocolate flavored yoghurt.

Definitely worth a treat, especially on a warm afternoon that we had just now. But remember, prepare to spend around RM15 per person …..

Kampachi at Pavilion

The owner of Sushi Express at Great Eastern Mall told us once that his usual sushi place is Kampachi. They had a couple of restaurants, the flagship being at Equatorial. Last weekend, we decided to give its sister restaurant at Pavilion a try.

To be honest, we were disappointed. Not only that the price there seemed double to what we would have expected to pay, the quality was not that good either. The place was quite OK and the food were presented well enough, but that did not compensate for the high price.

We tried their wagyu beef, as well as some rice dishes. It was just OK. Nothing spectacular. The children's meal was rather unique however, presented in cosy little containers. The boys has some chicken teriyaki. They did not complain so, it should be fine taste-wise.

Would I be coming back? Don't think so, but I am willing to give the main branch at Equatorial Hotel a try. I prefer my wage somewhere else anyhow.
