Saturday at Suria : Faux Pas-rking

- January 01, 2020

When it comes to shopping with mum, Suria KLCC is usually at the bottom of the list. But when one is looking for a fresh experience, it's a good place to revisit. Good thing that Suria KLCC has Isetan, Isetan Food Market, and Zara, places that mum can shop at. Our lunch was at La Cucur. Shared a packet of nasi dagang Terengganu and their heavenly hot teh tarik. We dunked a giant palmier from Marks and Spencer in the tea. Chatted up and old Malay couple who sat beside us. Told us about their grandchildren. One is into e-Sports and the other in e-Commerce. How times have changed.

Robinsons was next on my list. Like their sister store in Singapore, the stuff there is too expensive. Could only see rich Indonesian Chinese spending their money there. When it was tea time, we headed to Malaysia Boleh! for kopi. I spied a group of people having curry noddles. Couldn't resist, and ordered myself a bowl! The kopi we dunked with a giant white chocolate cookie from Marks and Spencer.

And one should not leave KLCC without the a shot of the iconic twin towers. Mum and I braved the sun to find a good spot along Jalan Ampang.

When leaving KLCC parking, I encountered a shitload of problems all because I used Visa PayWave.

Exit at lane 1. Failed. Failed. Failed.
Exit at lane 2. Failed. Failed. Failed.
Please go to the parking office.
Had to reverse out and the parking attendant didn't even bother to direct traffic.
Parking office insisted that I used Touch n' Go instead of PayWave. Then they realized that there wasn't a Touch n' Go number in the record.
I paid at the kiosk and was issued an exit card.
The card could not be accepted at the exit.
Intercom. Check. Check. Check.
OK. Boom gate opened.
I have a KLCC parking card as a souvenir now.

Don't risk it!
