Day 2 is literally and non-stop adrenaline pumping action of shopping by all members of the group. especially for footwears.

Balalaca, (nice to call?) a footwear store in Times Square was a hit with the females in our group with its unique design of slippers.
taken by me again
And amazingly, we bought mostly footwear or rather slippers.
The price is just jaw-dropping at RM$10 for a pair of slippers. and RM10 for slippers is commonly found in Kuala Lumpur Time Square! Especially on the 5th floor.
Proceed to next stop at Sungei Wang, which leads to even more shopping, this time window shopping before heading to a shop in another sector to purchase tidbits.
Either singapore have limited population or sungei wang is freaking popular, the wide walkways were jam packed on a saturday afternoon. Having to squeeze our way thru to navigate in the crowd, only then we could manage to reach the exits.
Been a long moment since i saw such crowds, If singapore stops building new shopping centres, maybe we will be able to see such crowds again. From what i can see, Malaysians or tourists in malaysia are more willingly to shop and spend more than Singaporeans or tourists in singapore
Afterwhich, head to the hotel to rest the exhaustive legs before heading to a Japanese buffet at Tenji @ Mount Kiara, which none of the 2 cabs know the way.
taken by my gf, posh estate, compared to the rest of KL
Our cab driver even had to call and check with Tenji for directions. For every non-open end question asked by the driver, the response is always a hilarious "YaYaYa"
According to the driver and my friends in Kuala Lumpur, Tenji Japanese restaurant is the hottest japanese buffet in the area. It certainly is. With the queues at dinner time and supper time (while we are leaving), it validates their statement.
Maybe Tenji started off as a Japanese buffet restaurant, however, the food displayed there are international, though 60% is Japanese.
The display of their shashimi was impressive. Pieces of raw fish on ice which gives off visible icy gas. Very much japanese style. However, the taste still kinda fail! Though it looks fresh
I had verify one general rule. Japanese food in Kuala Lumpur is not as good tasting in Singapore. Or taiwan. Their shashimi will always have a weird taste, which i cannot properly describe. Maybe its their culture to cook Japanese food in this way, not really my taste. Even with its impressive exterior, Tenji Japanese Restaurant fails too.
For other food at Tenji, they are pretty delicious to eat and make up for the short coming of its japanese food.
Not sure if any other diners noticed. During when my gf was taking a teapot to make tea, she noticed that the teapot was infested with small red ants which camouflage with the color of the pot.
Checking with other pots yield similar results, thus we gave up the idea of using teapot.
Other diners taking the teapot overheard our conversation, yet, they continue with the tea filling, oblivious or not caring about the ants.
Maybe they are used to eating ants, which i am not (=
Tempting?
After a sumptuous buffet dinner and a sinful dessert which ended with Hagen Daz ice cream and tiramisu, we part ways with my relatives and they retreat to their hotel, while i met up with my friends in Kuala Lumpur.
We met for some drinks and simple gathering since it was years since i saw them. Ate ikan bilis which was amazingly nice to eat. 1st taste, it was cripsy. After swallowing, the hot sensation came. (it was coated with chilli). It was hot, yet mild and gentle on the tongue. Marvellous chef!
Ended the session at 1+ and called it a night.
Day 3 was simple affair of even more shopping to buy the things we missed before checking out and a trip to the airport to fly back to SG
