Holy Cow

After lunch, I went out to Pavilion and Low Yat with Puan Anita. I was planning to get myself a portable scanner. Unfortunately, finding a Mac compatible ones proved a challenge. I came home disappointed.

The DVD dealer was also closed today at Sungai Wang. All in all, it was hardly a fruitful outing. Traffic was also pretty bad as Jalan Bukit Bintang was partially closed.

But I saw this cow on the way back to Pavilion. Rather funny I thought ....

More X100 Loveliness

All the photographs were taken around Pavilion and Sungai Wang, right after I got hold of the camera. I must say that I was still not familiar with the real potential of the device. The main write-up is here.

 

Daddy's Little Helpers

To get some fresh air, the whole gang went out for a spot of lunch at Pavilion. I ha to settle my overdue bills as well, so I had no objections although I was still feeling worst for wear. The boys promised not to give me any headaches or ask for toys, so they were happy when I said yes.

My heart sank when I read that part of Jalan Bukit Bintang would be closed for street party. It did, but coming from where we were, it dis not really effect the flow of traffic. Everything was smooth. The first order of business was enquiring about an iPhone for Anita. More about that on another entry.

Once that was sorted out - Anita was due to pick the phone up on the next day, we headed for lunch at Michaeangelo's. The boys love tue pizza there and from our frequent visit, the staffs there had already knew the boys. They always get their pizza double quick, and always with extra topping!

Now, that was what I called charming. At least we knew that when we were elderly, they would pick a nice retirement home for us ...... hopefully!

Rio time!

We had the chance to catch Rio earlier today, thanks to the effort of securing the tickets last night. We saw the first showing for the day and apart from two other families, it was just the four of us. That meant that the boys had license to walk around in front of their seats and made some noise.

The movie itself was great fun. Both the boys enjoyed it. Nice and easy story line, simple enough for them to follow while complex enough for the parents not to get bored. It was just as fun as Ratatouille but cuter. The songs were pretty fun too, as a couple of the main characters were will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas fame and Jamie Foxx. Nice.

After the show, we had to go look for birthday presents for Idlan's classmate. They have a party tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately - or fortunately rather - there were no 'Rio' themed toys out yet.

Cafe Stelle, Pavilion

During our outing at Pavilion last Saturday, we had tea at one of the cafe on the foyer of the complex. It was the second floor to be specific next to Godiva, meaning you would to go down a flight of stairs from the main Bukit Bintang entrance. The cafe was called Cafe Steele.

They serve mainly Western and Italian food. The salad and pasta were absolutely gorgeous. I ordered some mash potatoes and sausage for the boys, and the boys enjoyed then as well the food was fresh and the ambiance was also very nice. Of course, it was on the same floor with the posh outlets - I think it was directly in front of a Mount Blanc store.

I ordered salads and brochette. They were very well prepared and the dressing was very nice. But the hot chocolate that Irfan had was the highlight. He was still talking about it until this evening.

Certainly, I would visit the cafe again, but sparingly of course as the pricing there was rather steep. They also do special afternoon tea for two for RM58++. This was certainly highly recommended if you were out for a date.
