Pooh Spotted In Cheras

On Saturday, did my usual wet market thing. Thank goodness the crowd was less on that day. The price of vegetables had skyrocketed, so even the wholesalers did not have much to sell. It rained, making it a cool day. After that, I accompanied SK to her TCM follow-up. Think she's making some progress with the practitioner, but his techniques are a little unconventional. The session took longer than usual, so we were late to pick up Pooh and his friend, Donchadh at Hotel Maluri. Traffic also held us up with Cheras being Cheras. Lemme reiterate, I hate Cheras. Jalan Cheras, how I hate you! Cheras signboards, HATEZ! Anyway, by the time we picked up the girls, Carpe Diem was already waiting at the restaurant-- Sim Hap Ke. SK got in touch with Junior and he recommended the place. Just 10 minutes away, provided the road is clear. But, who I am I kidding, it's Cheras we're talking about. OK, OK, no more Cheras-bashing. I've gotten it all out of my system.



Lunch was at 2:00pm. Everyone was famished. Quickly ordered their famous salt-baked clams (found it overdone and not very fresh), bucket chicken (steamed herbal chicken in a big bucket!), stir-fried kai lan, pai kuat wong and salted egg yolk calamari (too sweet to my liking). Service was fast, but food was so-so only. The bill only came to MYR100, so it's reasonable. At least the guys liked the food. Donchadh even ate straight out of the bucket! They closed at 3:00pm, so we moved to Old Taste Cafe just opposite Hotel Maluri. The white coffee was quite thick and fragrant. Donchadh drank like a camel, downing a ximut ping tea and a cham ping in record time! Actually, it was my first time meeting Donchadh and Carpe Diem. Donchadh came to know me through Pooh. He noticed that I always spammed Pooh's BF's (Si Gi Na) FB statuses, so he made friends with me to join forces. Hehe. On the other hand, Carpe Diem and I started through our blogs, then the iPhone app Words with Friends.



Pooh and Donchadh had a seminar ("How To Have Most Sex In The Least Amount of Time", :P) to attend, so we cut our coffee time short and headed up to their room. The hotel was recently refurbished with hypnotizing batik motifs, effectively hiding its that kind of place flavour. Very clean and the rooms were equipped with flat screen TVs. While they changed and freshened up (Pooh was so shy, no chance to peek at his nips also XD), we lounged on the bed watching "Men In Black". SK was very entertained. I made a joke about Donchadh giving Pooh a massage in exchange for herbal chicken soup and I nearly tasted his flying kick. Penang boys are ganas! Dropped the girls off at Menara PGRM for their seminar and Carpe Diem went to a business appointment. Had fun with the guys. Until my trip to Penang!

P.S.: Zeem, you've been unanimously-appointed as my offical Penang Trip Planner. Please ensure there's plenty of good food, entertainment, shopping and cute boys in the itinerary. :P
