Fourth Day in KL

Jennifer and Jayden were busy all day with wedding stuff so Mum, Dad and I had to amuse ourselves. So we hopped in a taxi to Sunway Pyramid which was about 15 minutes away from our hotel. This was when we met Mr Money Bags Taxi Driver luckily. Costed us about $15 including toll charges. Dirt cheap huh?



Greetings from Eygpt!!! Sunway Pyramid is an Eygptian themed mall with a theme park (Sunway Lagoon) right next to it. The theme park looked quite cool as it combined crazy rides, water rides and animal attractions. Value for money!

The mall fitouts are pretty impressive. Hey look! Valet parking for camels.

Anyway, it was just another day another mall. I was all shopped out, truth be told (GASP! I KNOW!). So more aimless wandering around yet another mega mall. Where is a sheep when you need it, darn it?!!! After a few hours of looking around and a few snack breaks, Mum and Dad decided that we should go back to the Pavillion for the chai dao gui that escaped Dad's clutches (mouth) the other day. So we did. Had to get a couponed taxi for $23 because the mall is right next to the highway so we can't hail one from the side of the road and had to settle for what the mall offered.

Anyway before we knew it, we were at Pavilion. Oh before I forget, the taxi driver was a Chinese so Dad could converse with him instead of pretending to understand what the Malay taxi driver was jabbering away by responding with a Ya every few minutes...heheh. So Dad regaled the taxi driver with tales of his glory days as a police inspector in KL and how he used to walk everywhere from one forest to the next. (Forest, undeveloped suburbs, same difference). Dad ignored the heckling from his unwilling audience in the backseat who had heard the same story 2 times already.
We then headed straight for the foodcourt after dad waved goodbye to his fan. Cue evil laugh from dad *YOU WILL BE MINE, YUMMY FOOD". So that was how we came to have our second afternoon snack for the day.
Chai dao gui, aka Carrot Cake. It was probably the best one we had on this trip (we had this 4 times!)

Mum with soyabean and deepfried dough thingies (we had this way too many times).

I think we had steamboat again that night. Darn you yummy food. I need to get myself to a gym pronto. Or buy bigger clothes. Whichever is easier.
