Weekends should be like this

I had a great weekend :) Pictures to follow (once KF has finished processing them).

Saturday

We got up early, and went for a McD's breakfast - yummy. Then KF went off for a golf lesson. I tottered around the house doing some chores and watching the latest episodes of Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives and the latest TVB drama "When Easterly Showers Fall On The Sunny West" (what a mouthful, right?). It rained very heavily the entire morning.

At 3pm, we left PJ with a few friends and our mini daytrip started. It was still drizzling.

We took the KLIA route and turned off near the F1 circuit, past Sepang and Sg Pelek towns. Along the way we stopped by an organic dragonfruit farm. Bought dragonfruits, drank enzymes and milkshakes. It was educational, as both the husband and wife were lecturing on the benefits of this fruit and how it was grown.

This trip was starting to be fun - waiting for a herd of cows to cross the road, slowing down to let a confused HUGE monitor lizard decide its path, groups of monkeys feeding by the roadside.

Next stop - Sepang Goldcoast. I've been there before for work, so I found the place easily (we made this trip without a GPS, believe it). It's changed slightly since I was last there early this year. A few expensive-looking restaurants have sprouted up. A massage parlour run by Thai Odyssey as well. The beach looked the same - little crabs making spirals in the dark brown sand.

Then we headed for Tanjong Sepat's Lover's Bridge. Took a walk on the part-concrete, part-wooden bridge. People were fishing off the bridge, and some caught crabs. Then we settled down to Ocen Seafood Restaurant for our seafood dinner. A group of them went off to tapau the famous Hainan pau from Hai Yew Hin (and the pau is indeed yummy - sang yuk and mui choy pau never tasted so good).

At 7.30pm, we decided to use the other route home, through Morib and Banting. We passed by numerous "homestays" (and there were indeed many) and wondered whether these homes were actually in operation or being used as horror movie shooting sites. This route feels longer, with more lorries and trucks once reaching Banting. The KLIA route provides easier driving.

Finally got home at 9pm and went out for mamak at the usual Kayu.

Sunday

Woke up early again, because we wanted to pop by my parents' place and drop off the pau we had bought. Then brought my parents out to MidValley for shopping and lunch at Purple Cane Tea restaurant in The Gardens. Always loved Purple Cane Tea food, simple and "ching" (clear).

For dinner, we wanted to go to Jarrod & Rawlins, but found out their OneCard machine had spoilt. So we went to Paddington House of Pancakes. So yummy. I love this place.

Monday

After work, we went to 1U again. Couldn't decide what to eat and finally settled for BBQ Chicken, because KF had never been there. The fried chicken is nice - it's like KFC's spicy fried chicken, but it's not spicy. I had the Jerk BBQ again (because I really liked it the first time), mushroom soup (bit diluted), and salad (not very nice, the Dave's one was way better). Then we indulged in a 3-scoop sundae from Baskin Robbins. Nice.

So much indulging. I like :)
