Daddy drove us to the riverfront area to hunt for our breakfast. We parked our car at the public car park next to the river and bridge.

Initially we would like to go for Loh Yong Moh Restaurant as it is very popular amongts the locals and tourists for the variety of dim sum, but it was too many people!

Then, we tried our luck at Jonker 88 but it was not opened yet. So, we just strolling along the river side, took some photos.

Finally we came to the Calanthe Art Cafe where they serve a signature coffee from each of Malaysia’s 13 states, and they do serve nice local and western breakfast. We had our breakfast here with nice juices.

Street Food Experience @ Tong Bee Stall, Malacca

IMG_2293Our family have a weekend getaway to Malacca. It is quite a last minute as Daddy decided to go to Malacca in the afternoon after the children art class 2.30pm at Jane Yap Atelier.

It was evening when we arrived Malacca. Due to last minute that we did not book any hotel. We just drove around the town and looked for hotel.

Daddy drove to 7 Days Premium Malacca, I walked in and checked with the front desk still have available room.

And, we were so fortunate that there are still Family Triple Room available, as the Family Quad are not available. Thus, we checked in to this hotel.

IMG_2304The hotel is a great choice as it is accessible to the town, a convenience store and just nearby the Jonker Street in walking distance.

The room itself too is very comfortable, as provides even locker, closet, wooden/parquetted flooring, clothes rack, and slippers to please the most discerning guest.

After settled down, we went for our dinner and it was around 8.00pm. Daddy brought us to a place where we did not go before.

It is a famous back alley off Jalan Bunga Raya, which is walking distance from our hotel. The stall is famous for its cockles, clam, sotong, and other varieties of snacks.

IMG_2307Commonly known as longkang siham or cockles by the drain.

Dining at Tong Bee Stall is a new experience for us, and I don’t think we can get anywhere else because we were sitting on a low wooden stool in a dimly-lit alley.

It was a long stainless steel wrapped table where we seated and have the opportunity to see how the uncle prepare the food.

It is not the cleanest place to eat at, but when we arrived, already packed with locals and tourists.

IMG_2308We ordered cockles, clams, balitong, snails and paired with their special nutty chili sauce.

Besides, we also ordered tauhu bakar, grilled cuttlefish and sotong kangkung.

We feel full even though we did not eat rice. We walked back to our hotel after as all of us were tired for the day.

We slept early after taking our bath as we were sitting sweating and the smells of the grilled sotong and tauhu bakar at the stall just now. Open-mouthed smile

A Peek in Mecaje Year End Concert ^^

This video clips was sent to me by Melissa, showing the kids practising for their year end concert. What I can say, “Wow, so early they practice already for year end concert!” But it is good too.



I saw Issac so into his dance. Annabelle always have the more talents in music, singing and dancing, she have more sense into rhythm or music.

Mecaje Academy Flip Out Day 14 Feb 2017

Yesterday both Issac and Annabelle were so happy and excited when they came back from school. They were obviously having fun and enjoyed their Flip Out session in school!

They went to Flip Out Malaysia Trampoline Arena. It is located in a large warehouse in the Kota Damansara. This huge space is divided into a number of areas filled with trampolines targeted at different age groups and ability levels.

The ceiling is way up so there is no danger of banging your head if you jump high. Each section has its own padded bouncy walls for safe tumbling.

Under 10’s (height limit 130cm) have their own safe area, complete with Foam Pit.

There is a long list of safety rules which should be followed. Just because trampolines are nice and bouncy doesn’t mean there is no risk of injury.

The walls are decorated with action style comic book characters to appeal to their young target audience.

It looked like all the kids and teenagers were enjoying themselves.
