Day 1 - KL Trip 2010 | Connie's Birthday Celebration

I have planned for a trip to KL for Connie's birthday celebration. We reached Pavilion Megamall at about lunch time.

In order to make sure everything is smooth, I have done lots of survey on the best available restaurant available in Pavillion and also Bukit Bintang.

Finally, I opted for this restaurant - Celadon International Thai Cuisine.

Heading towards the 6th floor of Pavilion Megamall, we were greeted upon on our entrance to the restaurant. We were then lead to out table. I can't think of what words to describe the ambient of this restaurant. 2 words - Awesomely superb!


White is the theme of this restaurant and apart from this, the lighting and some colourful racks design, until the chair we were seated on, created a romantic atmosphere which I am expecting/hoped for. xD




Menu were passed to us.

Glancing through it's menu, all of the food are priced in between RM10 and above. I wouldn't care much about the price, as "You pay for what you get". Moreover today is a big day for my dearest. Hehe..

This are what we ordered.

A starter for everything. Iced blended fresh coconut - (RM13.00). This is a recommended from other blogger and also myself. It is a different piece of work from what we tasted in Bangkok. The coconut juice and it's flesh is blended together with ice. After that, fresh coconut flesh pieces are then arranged on top of the ice. 卖相；吃相； 都一级棒！ Meaning, everything is perfect!

Next up, the famous Tom Yam Goong(Thick) RM19.90. We were given a choice to choose in between the thick and the normal one. But it is recommended to try the thick one where coconut milk (santan) is added into the gravy. Again, it is different from what we tried in Bangkok. This time, it has much more spice and the extra kick in it.

This tiger prawn is cooked inside the Tom Yam Goong. The "vein" of the prawn were removed. Hygienic wise, perfect!

Well, this is the dish that both of us gave 11/10 marks. Marinated Chicken in Pandan Leaves - (RM16.90). It came with 4 servings and each of them are boneless!

A sauce is given to go along with this chicken.

Upcoming next, this is the Deep Fried Fish Cake at RM17.90. For me it is quite a normal dish.

Photo session after our lunch.

So lucky I am that, since I am a HSBC card user, I am eligible for a 10% discount. Conclusion, it is a satisfying lunch and I am glad that Connie like it as well!

We hanged around at Pavilion mall and took some photos.


It is above 4pm and we have to check in to our room. Off we go to Cube Hotel.

Cube Hotel is located at Jalan Pudu and it is a boutique themed based hotel who offer great service at attractive price.

This is the room I got. A deluxe double. Complete with LCD screen and attached bathroom and everything is very clean. At RM130/night and the location we will enjoy. It is definitely up for grab.

After a nice rest, it is birthday celebration time. We headed back to Pavilion Megamall. This is how Pavilion looked like during the night. Awesome isn't it?

This fountain majestically standing in front of Pavilion is actually called Purple Crystal Fountain. It is one of the landmark in Bukit Bintang area.


After that, we were off to Angus House(Japanese Charcoal Steak) located inside Pavilion also. You guys must have been wondering why I keep on choosing Pavilion. Let me tell you the answer. It offers me the Ambient, the Quality and I get the return for the amount of money that I pay for. Hehehe.. ;p

This restaurant is even more high class than the one we tasted in the afternoon. That is a so call "candle-light" on our table. We were given a special partition for us to have our own sweet dinner.



I placed the order and I opted for the chicken dinner (5 course meal) - RM63.00. On the other hand, the birthday girl opted for Salmon Tobico Cream - RM26.00

A Fried Dory fish appetizer got the ball rolling for the course.

A butter bun and a bowl of creamy mushroom soup to wake up our hungry stomach :P


After that, a Caesar Salad for some refreshment.

Finally the main course, pan grilled chicken. Juicy, tender and delicious. 2 thumbs up!

A extremly delicious tiramisu cake to complete the course.

Next up, Salmon Tobico Cream. The salmon are smoked and it is excellent.

Now is the birthday cake session. I got an black-forest cake from Lavendar Bakery. And of course a personal Happy Birthday song composer which is myself to complete the memorable moments.

Birthday Girl ready to blow her cake.. Hehe


After the wishing, candle blowing and cake cutting session..

After that we left for a stroll along Bukit Bintang and until we saw the Twin Towers of Petronas.

We ended our day here. Again, I hoped that Connie had a enjoyable birthday throughout and wish her a very Happy Birthday and may all your wishes and dreams come true. Of course, stay young and joyful!

Day 5 - Good Bye Bangkok

Today is our last day in Bangkok, we marked our final attendance with a pic together with the uniquely decorated kitchen of Take A Nap Hostel..

Before back to Malaysia, we went to have a praying at Erawan Shrine.

We were lucky enough as there are Thai dance around the corner.

As Erawan Shrine is located near Pratunam Area, we decided to take a stroll around that area. We saw the Bangkok famous Central World Plaza in front of us.

Along the street, there are a lot of stalls selling fruits and etc..

Guess what is this? It is a kind of tidbits with red bean fillings. Something special and worth trying!

Seng Hui, " Introducing Thai Coffee ! "

Some reminder for the tourist: Becareful of your belonging! Huang Ying's handphone was pick-pocketed by a guy at there. When the incident happened, we were really in a big shock. We chased after the guy pointed by Huang Ying based on her intuition. It was really funny as the pick pocket is so thick face that he could say a sorry word to us and then pass the handphone to us! So becareful folks!

Another incident, a guy whom seemed to be so friendly walked to us and told us something that were only known by local only. He told us that Bangkok has a temple for Lucky Buddha and it is only open for 1 day in a month and it was so coincidentally on this particular day, the temple is opened. He kept persuading us to go to the temple to pray for health and wealth and told us that can go there with tut-tut with cheap price. As we have read a lot of "story" from the forum, we knew that it was a prank! So, please do be extra careful on these and do not listen to this type of "kind" advice.

One of the scene inside Platinum Mall.

Pei Quan and me felt to have some tom yum again before back to Malaysia. Thus, we walked back to Central World Plaza to hunt for some nice food.

A cute tiger inside Central World Plaza.

We have choosen Phan-Khom Contemporary Thai Cuisine.

Unique decorations in the restaurant.


A glass of cool H2O to chill us.


Food of all Aseans. Thailand Fragrance Rice!

Our favourite Tom Yum Goong.

It was served in claypot and boiling hot! Pei Quan had 2 plates of rice because of this.

A Pad Thai Noodle with shrimp. A normal dish for me, but I gave thumbs up as the shrimp used are very fresh.

I love this Pork Satay with Peanut Sauce! Lean meats are used.

An homemade peanut sauce was served along the Satay. The sauce is different from the one we found in Malaysia as the peanut used are finely blended and it is not oily and nor too spicy.

Our dessert - Todsakan Ice Cream.

Pour the coconut milk onto the icecream before serving to give you the extra punch!

It was a wonderful lunch! We then went around Central World and saw this unique fish net hanging from the top of the floor until it's lower floor. Great art!

At about 4.30pm, we headed to the airport.

A pic of us with our full luggages at the departure hall!




Our last pic in Bangkok airport..

We had instant noodle for our dinner on the flight back.

Finally we are back to Malaysia. These are partial of our "Victory" Items from Bangkok.


It was a WONDERFUL, EVENTFUL trip for all of us. A great outings and we look forward for the future trip together!
