Simpang Renggam Excursion






















16 August, My family with my Obek Limah's family went to Simpang Renggam for kuih buying expedition. I have never been there before. We took the North-South Highway towards KL and exit at Simpang Renggam. The tol costs ard 20 malaysian bucks to reach there from Spore customs. The place was packed by Sporeans who went there by coaches. We had our field day buying all the kuehs and cookies for Ramadan and Syawal! It an hour ride from Spore. Kinda far but the cookies, kuehs and cakes are of high quality but incredible low prices! Would want to go there again!

Pastamania at Lot 1








After the doctor appt at Kidslink, we went over to Lot 1 Pastamania for dinner. It was my first time there. The food is not bad and the serving is just right! The atmosphere was ok but was surprise that the joint is a self service. Oh well .. the thing about self service is that its make you feel more at home!
