Birthday Block

The initial plan was to celebrate mum's 75th birthday, and Little Monster's 9th birthday at The Narra on the weekend. Those plans were scrapped with the announcement that MCO 3.0 would commence on the 6th of May. Made last minute plans to celebrate on Wednesday. And to avoid unnecessary work day traffic jams, we ate at Restoran MSL which is close by. Thankfully KH, SK, and Apollo could come. Apollo's mum had to give the dinner a miss because of babysitting duties. The restaurant was pretty quiet. Only three tables were occupied. We didn't order their signature crab dishes, but we did go for the out-of-the-ordinary cheese prawns. KH brought a gianduja chocolate cake which we finished at the restaurant. 

Recently, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf asserted its presence in Bukit Jalil with a new branch at The Link 2. Its really a very rare sight because I am more used to seeing Starbucks. After dinner, we swung over there to have a few drinks. Nice place, but kind of noisy. The baristas aren't very friendly, and you can't hear them call over the din. Many were there probably to enjoy the last yumcha session on the eve of the lockdown. But anyway, we had a nice chat, and I got to utilize my seldom-used Citibank Clear card B1F1 privileges.
