KK Trip: Day One

To be able to go on a roadtrip is the best thing ever. I get some much needed break and relaxation. The chance to see new things and be able to do some shooting tickle my fancy too! I haven’t been shooting anything worthy to post in a lil’ while now, so this trip has provided me with lots, so much so that I’ve decided to split it into two post rather than jamming everything into one.

Ferries that take you over the border. Queuing can be stressful!

One of the many custom/immigration stop-over to get your passport stamp (this one is super slow, waited for over 30mins) it’s not like there were a lot of people, the lady was busy chit-chatting! Lots of pissed off people I tell you, haha… Our quick stop-over for food and washroom break, where else but Kolonel-Famous-Chix..

Yes, GIANT is everywhere you go…

Love these 2 shots, I’ve decided to make them a bit retro feel

They sure have better looking billboard than us! Aaaahhh… makes me wanna get one. Below: Phone operator goin’ at each other

Stayed at the Courtyard Hotel 1 Borneo. A 3-star hotel that doesn’t impress nor disappoint (maybe a little)

Breakfast was my only real complain. This is actually day 2, well, day 1 is the same minus the karipok, red beans & sausages! Sigh!

To be continued… (Stay tuned for day two after I have everything sorted out)

Tea break… (but nothing broken!)

Afternoon tea may have been started by the french but the English are the one who make it popular. Most people refer afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or meat tea is dinner. High tea, in Britain, tends to be on the heavier side. American hotels and tea rooms, on the other hand, continue to misunderstand and offer tidbits of fancy pastries and cakes on delicate china when they offer a high tea.

In England, the traditional time for tea was four or five o’clock and no one stayed after seven. Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five. The menu has also changed from tea, bread, butter and cakes, to include Savories (tiny sandwiches or appetizers), Scones (served with jam or clotted cream) and Pastries (cakes, cookies, shortbread and sweets)

M.O.D

Recently had dinner at M.O.D. Thai Food & Cafe in Jerudong. M.O.D serves both thai and western dishes and its 3 shop combined spaces is more than enough to accommodate a large crowd.

We were seated immediately and within minutes our drink order had been taken care of. The mood is relaxed and quite family-friendly. Service was quick and efficient, great food and a cozy environment makes it a pleasant first experience.

MOD is located at: No. 2, 3, 4, Spg 709, Jln Jerudong (just before the petrol station in jerudong)
