Gardens Hotel, Kuala Lumpur


Pillows that offer some fluffiness but not too soft, firm for support for the neck but not hard and with a huggable feel. A mattress that provides a comfy feeling of stability but not inflexible. You have the daily newspaper, the IPad and the flat monitor remote. Time to settle in, time to relax and let go of things.  Immerse into the media without any thoughts and let the subconscious just absorb.


A round face wash basin and surrounding panel that is clean. Beside you is the see through shower equipped with an over hanging typhoon rain washer, the water coming down like sky juice and without a need to hold anything. The toilet bowl is discreetly kept from view behind well placed glass doors. There is a dressing table and huge double mirrors envelope your wardrobe activity.





Complimentary from the Gardens are bathrobes, a security safe tucked away discreetly behind a drawer, shoe polishing basket and accesories plus the inevitable ironing board, even if this is not a serviced apartment. (Picture above) As you walk towards the exit door, bottles of drinking water await, together with the usual coffee, sugar and tea sachets.  (Picture below) Once you get out of your guest room, a myraid number and variety of shops wait for your attention - and wallet.

Aunty Gaik Lian's - Straits Chinese, Georgetown, Penang

A simple but appetising egg omelette as starters. Gulai Ikan Tumis or sour and spicy fish curry. The previous long standing branch of jewellers B.P De Silva, almost at the corner of Bishop and Beach streets in the old quarter of Georgetown, has a few months ago been transformed into a hub of Straits Chinese cuisine.

85 Degrees Bakery Cafe Hurstville NSW

Image
There are several outlets of this bakery cafe for several years now in Australia.  Did they coem from the USA? Each franchised outlet is in a busy area, often in suburbs so-called by a diverse Asian demographic.   The one in Hurstville is rather roomy and lots of baked stuff on its shelves.   The base of Sydney operations is in Chester Hill, a suburb south-west of the Sydney city centre. Some of the cake creations would be viewed as rather leaning on the East Asian dimension  - Strawberry Angel (with chocolate base and top) and Mango Cheese ( with yoghurt).   However, to counter this perspective, there are also Death by Chocolate, US Cheesecake, Coffee Brulee and Blueberry Marble options.     The pastries are definitely filled with ingredients more suited to perhaps  Anime loving fans and non-mainstream cultures - for example, garlic, pork, tuna, green tea, red bean, shallots, pork floss, coconut, Hokkaido butter cream and Boroh or pineapple buns.    Sung
