KL Tower & Pavilion's Food Republic

0


It's Wesak Day! Since we're not celebrating, what do we do?

We went to KL for sight-seeing and makan...slurrpp. However, this time we are not alone, as my mum and sis would like to tag along with us. The more, the merrier!


The imposing view of KL Tower

Our first destination - KL Tower. It is one of the most renowned landmark in our country's capital, the other being KLCC Twin Tower.

Although we are living just half an hour drive away from the city, we have never visited the '5th Tallest Tower' in the world before. It is located on top of Bukit Nanas, making it arguably the highest point in the whole of KL.

Entry fee into the Observation Deck costs RM 20 per person (RM 10 if you bring your MyKad along).


Inside the Observation Deck

The Observation Deck is located 276 meters above ground level, hence we are able to have a good eagle view on the whole city of Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding areas.

Oh yeah, by the way, do you know that the tallest McDonalds in the world is actually located in KL Tower itself? Amazed? So were I.

The heart of KL City - Berjaya Times Square and Bukit Bintang area

The weather was sunny but the view was blurred by the ever-present haze.

That's another reason that I hate our government's ever compromising stance against our neighbouring country's open burning which contributed to the haze and polluted our air each and every year. Wake up, and do something about it, Pak Lah!



Jenggg!! They are the 3 most important ladies in my life - My Dear, My Mum & My Sis. Do-re-mi. Haha.

There are binoculars available for free use if you would like to get a closer look at any particular place or building. Or some 'interesting' event.

Such as my dear zooming on top of a building to see a lady hanging her undies on the clothesline. *sweat* LOLZ.

Upon descending the tower, we noticed a group of people gathered at a spot. Must be something interesting happening, we thought. So, we approached nearer.



Rupa-rupanya there's this one fella who is preparing to do Flying Fox. If I'm not wrong, it is operated by AJ Hackett - the leading adventure provider - at the 1st floor of the tower.

Giggling Superman

Look at his happy face. I should have sell this photo to him. DARN.

Next up, we went to KL Pavilion located at the heart of the city.

Without further ado, we promptly headed to Food Republic once there, as we were dying for food already.



Being both avid food lovers, we have been craving for this food haven since some time ago.

For the uninitiated, Food Republic is a food court chain run by the Singaporean company which operated Bread Talk as well. The stalls served both local and international fares, with the occasional mini-restaurants in between as well.

They have Korean cuisine, Thai cuisine, Teppanyaki, Oh! Sushi, Ipoh Specialties, Hong Kong Roast, Vietnam Kitchen, and so on and so forth.


This is unique. The variety of drinks being sold on a standalone push cart. How convenient!
Gotta give due credit to the Singaporeans for their quicky ideas.



As per the usual situation, we always have time to pose first before proceed to ordering our food. This time though, the push cart auntie volunteered to take this photo for us. Hahaha.

Ipoh Dry Hor Fun Mee

Hong Kong Wan Tan Mee

The whole concept is rather convenient. First, you go to the stall that you want. Then, place your order and pay at the stall itself. Then, wait for your food to be served and there you go. As easy as 1-2-3!

On the downside, however, the food tasted rather unsatisfactory and the dumplings that I ordered were even served cold! Even Dear agreed that the food tasted rather bland.

This is how I look when I'm not satisfied with my food.

Nevertheless, we will still return to this place and give it another try. Afterall, we are all kind-hearted people and should at least give people second chance to prove their worth rite? Hahaha.
