Was wondering about SS15 again today. Since we've already memorised Uncle Seng's menu like the back of our hands we decided to try something thing different. Bob suggested we try out korean food instead instead of the usual local fare. So we popped by a nondescript shop called The Street Cafe which was sandwiched along a row of shophouses.

Can't remembered what I ordered but I dare say the food had exceeded my initial impression of the shop. Apart from the overplayed Nobody but You song (who can fault them, its a shop serving korean food), the food was great.



The salad was crisp, the chicken was well seasoned and tender while the rice was just nice and fluffy. Washed it down with a glass of dragon fruit juice. Total damage to bank was only about RM15.




Who said you can't get anything cheep and cheerful these days? :D
I'm definitely heading there next time if I get tired of the usual eating spots.
Btw, there's also another branch in Sunway Pyramid.

So David had a bright spark of organising a BBQ cum get together at his place on Saturday which coincidently fell on Earth Hour day. Ironically, instead of doing our part by switching off the lights for an hour, we went and did opposite by leaving the lights on and contributed towards air pollution. lol

So a few months back, I was surfing the net and I came across pictures taken from the Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta and I thought, "Man, I wished I had that big snazzy camera to capture those fantastic looking pictures" and then I left it at that. Few months down the line, I became the lucky owner of one.

It was around a month ago when the idea came back to me. This time was different as I had everything I needed;
DSLR - check
own transport - check
free time to snap pics - check!
research on the location, itinerary etc - check!
friends to drag bring along for company - check!

Perfect! Everything's in order. All I needed to do now was to mark my calender.

So at 3p.m., I reconfirmed everything and made sure all preparations were complete.

After planning the outing for months, how's a slight drizzle at 5p.m. going to affect the outcome right? Boy was I wrong! That drizzle turned out to be a torrential rain... for a full 30 minutes. With the sun peeking out of the clouds, I headed to pick up my friends and head for the venue.

On the way there, we missed a turning and ended up heading to Holland. Thankfully we took the nearest exit but got stuck in a bumper to bumper crawl somewhere in PJ. When we finally got to Putrajaya, it was already night and the hot air balloons were long gone. What rotten luck huh? 3 months of planning went up in smoke.

It didn't help that there was a slight drizzle by the time we got there which persisted throughout pretty much of the night.

Even so, we were determined to make the best of it and immediately went looking for the scenic spots in Putrajaya. Looking for the Seri Wawasan bridge wasn't difficult. Finding a good location to capture the bridge was.


Initial spot.

So being adventurous, we continued exploring Putrajaya despite the rain although on hindsight it would've been better to have worn slippers that night as it was so dark, we were basically stepping into every puddle of water on the ground.

Although we had intended to travel around Putrajaya further, our plans were cut short due to the sudden heavy rain. Since it was getting late, we decided to head back to KL for dinner.

Dinner was at Murni's in SS2. Determined to have their signature XXL curry puff for dinner, I ordered their Dragon Pizza (its a misnomer if you ask me) which took 30 mins to arrive. :( But the wait was well worth it as I've been longing to order/eat it.

The XXL curry puff wasn't too bad although it was a tad salty. It was stuffed with meat and scrambled eggs topped with some pasta sauce. Be warned that the XXL curry puff is larger than it looks and can easily substitute your dinner especially when you've downed half a glass of their laichee special beforehand while waiting for the food to arrive. :D
