Edwin's 2010 Christmas Poolside Yoga

I was invited by a yoga instructor, Edwin to take photoshoot of his yoga event at Sunway Resort and Spa, in celebration with Christmas :)

Event started at 5.30pm with Edwin taking lead in this yoga "class". Seeing the participants so pro in several yoga stunts, it gave me some encouragement to start yoga again. (I m doing cardio btw)




It was raining heavily in the midst of this outdoor class and we shifted to the corridor to resume the class.
This event ended at about 6.30pm and we headed to the Sun n Surf Cafe for dinner!! Buffet dinner!! yum~~


Dem! I dint take pics of food. hahaha.. anyway the food served was so so. I would recommend you to go Umaiya for Japanese food. oops~


Me emceeing the event or rather games. (^_^)v



Night view outside the hotel. Nice!! with Christmas lights.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Saturday

Foot Reflexology at Asianel

I was given a free foot reflexology voucher at Asianel Reflexology Spa, Starhill Gallery. Thanks to my sis!! :D

This relaxation centre is located at Pamper Floor, StarHill. When I first stepped into this place, it was dark but looks comfy though. Each customer would be allocated a "private space" which is a round area with a very comfy adjustable sofa in the center draped in red sheer curtain.




I felt like a queen during the 45 minutes feet reflexology!! However for the price of RM120 - I would think twice :p

Monday

Lala Chong @ Kayu Ara, Damansara

After much debate, we decided to eat at Lala Chong over Pantai Seafood which is located next to each other at Kayu Ara, Damansara.


Let's start with steamed fresh fish with soya sauce. nom nom~


How could we not have lala when we are eating at Lala Chong?! So we ordered broth/soup based lala. The soup taste good with a zest of ginger and chinese wine.



Signature taufu - Home made stuffed taufu served with mayo. For me, itz so so only.


Steamed white chicken - The chicken pieces were tender and succulent, goes well with the special sauce. Highly recommended!


Salted egg crabs - This dish is such a dissapointment! The taste is bland without the slightest aroma of fried salted egg.




Overall, food was not too bad but itz really hot sitting outside the air cond room. The guys are sweating profusely so I recommend you to reserve a table in the air cond room for a more comfy meal.

Edwin's Poolside Yoga

I was invited by a client to shoot his yoga event at the poolside, Midvalley Boulevard Hotel.


Some of the yoga poses from participants

I stopped yoga ages ago but I think I can still do some of these poses LOL



Group pic after 1.5 hours of tiring but fun yoga workout :D After that was dinner + lucky draw + lou sang. ( yes, this event was in February but I dint have time to post -___- )

Wednesday

Favola @ Le Meridien

Favola! A Italian restaurant at Le Meridien Hotel, KL. Was so excited to explore this place after a good friend of mine brought me here.



As you step into this place, itz like you are walking through into a Italian setting reminiscent of the renaissance era.

Regretted of not bringing my DLSR here!! These pics are captured with my Panasonic Lumix.


I just love the chandelier and the settings in this restaurant! So comfy and classy!


Lets start with the starters. Well actually not really starters coz the hot waitress serves us bread, bagel, bread sticks and focaccia with dips ( FOC! ) The breads are soft, warm, fresh and fluffy!!
I was a bit full after munching almost half of em LOL



Fresh mussels! stuffed with minced chicken, garlic and herbs in tomato sauce. yummy~

Then we had Zuppa di Pesce alla Marinara - Seafood tomato and saffron soup with garlic toast. The soup taste really good with generous amount of seafood.


Risotto con Aragosta - Rice with lobster, green asparagus, lemon zest and green pea foam. Itz my first time trying risotto and this is really nice!!! the lobster were superb!!! I m craving for this dish again T_T


Conchiglioni Marinara al Cartoccio - Seafood in tangy tomato sauce, extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs and parmesan cheese baked in parcel.


Finally we had Italian Gelato for dessert! Yummy gelato aka ice cream served with chocolate flakes and strawberries. Now, who wants some?

Monday

Thursday

Terrace @ Hock Choon

I was approached by a client to take location shoot at TERRACE @ Hock Choon for Glam Street fashion bazaar happening in March.

I reached the location on time at 6.30pm and began shooting. I did not expect my camera battery to died out after 10 shots T_T wanna cry liao.. but luckily I brought my battery charger.

So I had no choice but to order a drink at the japanese restaurant and "borrow" electricity to charge my batt.

I wasted 45 mins and it was already 7.15pm! I cannot just sit here and wait anymore!!

So I just grab my cam and start shooting.

Some of my favourite shots :)





Btw, this place have a few restaurant such as Fukuharu which serves Japanese food ; Il Divo - Italian, IR1968 - Indocine Restaurant & Bar. Check them out!

Wednesday

Lunch at Tanjung Tualang, Perak

We were on our way to Cameron Highland and make a pit stop at Tanjung Tualang for seafood lunch (we have been circling and wasted almost an hour finding this restaurant lol)

Steam fresh water prawns - Fresh and juicy prawns!! This dish is definitely a winner! I would recommend you to order these prawns in steam style to savour its freshness.


Salted egg crabs - One of my fave dish - Crab cooked with salted eggs. Not too salty, just nice.

Fried sotong - Typical dish which can be ordered in any seafood restaurant. Nothing to shout about as this is not their specialty dish.

Steam fish - Fresh fish steamed with soy sauce. One of my pal complained that this dish taste "fishy" ; however,it taste fine for me :)

Overall this seafood restaurant provide good food especially the prawns (which is the signature dish)! Will definitely come back here again.
