After an early morning departure from Singapore, an arduous experience at KLIA2 and the expedition to Batu Caves and the very thrilling Menara KL, we needed a very big, and a very warm meal...
The monorail from Bukit Nanas to KL Sentral was quite crowded, but certainly better than Mumbai locals. On getting off at Bukit Nanas, we walked across to the Nu Sentral mall which is abutting the KL Sentral station, where we found an exciting Malay quick-service joint, PappaRich...
A rip-off on Colonel Sanders of KFC...
The Malay waiter here was very friendly and had a 100-watt smile... He was extremely prompt and efficient, much to my surprise...
Neeti was completely sold out on Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore and that effect rubbed off on her in KL as well! Obviously, the chicken rice at PappaRich was a lot more sophisticated than the food hawker markets of Singapore...
I chose a hearty Laksa... Man, Malayan cuisine is indeed yummy...
It was closing time, but the helpful waiter agreed to get us a dessert - we chose sago in coconut milk with gula melaka (palm sugar)...
The dessert was extremely yummy, with the palm sugar giving it distinct flavour... This is a dessert I will remember for times to come...
Great to see another outlet of Cafe Coffee Day in Nu Sentral, the second we've seen in KL so far...
Indeed Indian brands are growing beyond our frontiers and competing...
Back in the hotel, we sat in the lobby for an hour or so calling home on Skype and FaceTime... (The room did not have free WiFi! Sic!)
I quite liked the decor of the lobby...
The hotel was decked up for the Chinese New Year...
The hotel is planning a dragon dance day after morning... But we would have left for Penang by then...
The band in the lobby was awesome... we complimented them and they played an 80's number for us!
Smart design!
I quite liked this...
Time to rest...
Even the roads are empty now... Time to snooze for a good 8 hours...
