Out of Towners Times Two

Over the weekend, KH and I had two visitors from out of town. Firstly was Mei and MiniMei. Met them for dinner at Gluttony, Taman Desa for dinner, and the main event which was a round of stout at Mamamon. Secondly was Zemien and long time boyfriend, Paige. Both of them were in KL for several weeks, working out of a serviced apartment at Star Residences. Back when I was working at Megan Avenue II, the towers were still under construction, so it was nice that I was presented with the chance to take a look inside. Zemien gave us a very professional tour, so much that I thought he was selling us a unit. We had a look at the pool, the gym, the urinal with the unobstructed view of Kampung Baru, and the rooftop with the biggest mosaic mural wall in Malaysia.    

The boys wanting a very local experience, so we brought them to Chuan Kee for some old school Malaysian Hakka cooking. I had never been to that part of town, and judging by its looks, it's really old. The place was full, so there was a short wait for a table. Once we got in, I realized that YouTuber Auntie Liew had reviewed the place before. Our guests were happy with the choice of dishes. Paige had no problem eating the steamed grass carp with garlic sauce, lamb stew, stir-fried long beans with dried shrimp, and Hakka fried pork. 

Options for after-dinner drinks were limited, but KH did manage to find a cafe nearby called Today's by Dalton. The place is attached to a budget hotel and fronts a KTV joint. We were given a little scare by the bouncer:

Bouncer: HEY! KTV or cafe?

KH: We are going to the cafe.

Bouncer: Oh. Then parking is free.

KH: *sweat*

Interestingly, it was the boys' first time having a croffle. During the coffee session, KH was busy asking about where to visit in New Zealand. Planning for a Q1 2023 vacation already!

P.S.: Thanks Zemien for the Rewarewa honey!
