Wondering about Wondermama

I've been hearing about Wondermama for quite some time. Anita been there on a few occasions and enjoyed the food. So, after my haircut this afternoon at Avenue K, I stepped into one for a spot of late lunch.

The setting was local, with the theme being old kopitiam. There were nice touches such as big mugs and some old paintings on the walls.

Those now-famous window panesThese games really brought out old memoriesWhat caught my eye on terms of the decorations were this old games we used to play when I was a boy. It was before the days of scratch cards. You pay a few sens to draw a lot from the game which when you open would reveal a number. You then match that number to see if you won something. Something similar to a lucky draw. The thrill of winning was always there although deep down you'd know that the house would always win and make a profit. A mini gambling scheme. Not sure if it was still legal now though.

And then came the food. They were actually rather good. I ordered maggi mee complete with seafood. Idlan had some nachos with minced meet. Anita had some salad while Irfan enjoyed some pasta. As you could see, the food were fusion.

Time to orderIrfan with his three-layered drinksMy seafood maggi mee gorengI ordered plum - asam boi - and lemonade for drinks and it was ace. The iced Milo also came in big mugs, and tasted home made.

I would definitely come again although the nearest branch to my place would be in Bangsar Village. The price were reasonable too, very clean and the staffs were very attentive. At least to us...

Not Much of a Delight

Last Thursday, Anita followed her Dad who came to my clinic for a quick work-up after he had not been feeling well back in Kelantan. We did some blood tests and scans, and by the time we reached lunch and everything was done, I was peckish. Anita had been keen to go to Kelantan Delight for ages now. So, we had our chance today. It was in Subang Jaya after all, right next to Empire Gallery, but parking was tricky since the MRT work was going on right in front.

The place was actually pretty empty for lunch. Only five tables were occupied, but I soon found the reason why. The service was atrocious!

The food was actually rather good. Unfortunately they claimed to be suffering from a serious case of staff shortage. There was only a couple of waiters on duty, and they had to help the cook as well.

This was a shame since the place was usually quite good, with decent food and reasonable service.

Not rushing there any time soon ….

Thistle PD

Thistle PD had always been one of our favorite stop when we were in PD, usually for a quick lunch or afternoon tea. It used to be called Guomon, and famous for its golf link. But we were there mostly to chill.

We went there this time for a quick lunch and the food was still fine. Not a fan for staying there since it doesn't have a good beach, the apartment was way better for that ....

We were rushing to go home this time around and wasn't able to have a good look around. It must've been a couple of years since I last stopped at the place.

Sunday Walk

I was on call on Saturday and ended up finishing the post-take rounds at noon on Sunday. Missed a conference I was meant to attend that morning despite rushing to get things done. Got to the apartment just after noon, picked up the boys and Puan Anita and headed back to Gombak. Left the boys there with the maid, and Anita and I went out for a lunch date. We overate!

The actual programmeStill there were a number of visitors, and there was a wedding going on at the nearby Saloma BistroMight as well make use of the fair weather

With our tummy full, Anita decided to go for a walk. The sun was not to bright - in fact it was threatening to rain later in the afternoon. I read on the web that there was a festival at Matic, around 15 minutes walk from Suria KLCC where we had lunch. Off we went.

The place was deserted! Apparently the had a regional arts festival which opened at MATIC, but the actual weekend events were scattered at various venue around town. Sigh!

Trudging back to KLCCAlmost there ....That hit the spot! Big time!

We mingled around for a bit before strutting back to Suria. Time for a cold drink by the time we reached back …. Best to check out the event thoroughly before going. But then again some of the information was not forthcoming.

After the Walk

Time for a quick lunch after the afternoon walking around the KLPF. Will be blogging about that a bit later, but for now would be downloading some of the snaps at the apartment before returning to Gombak later.

Anita and the boys had been busy with the school assignments which meant no outing this weekend. I was also tasked to find dinner for tonight, to get back before the kick-off at 8.30. United playing Leicester away tonight. Hopefully we can chalk up another win to keep the momentum going.
