Tamarind Spring @ Ampang

Birthday treat from the BF XD
A place that I wanted to come for the rumors of how nice the place is.
The mysterious door that lead to a beautiful hidden place.
The path to the eateries.
The turtles pond.
The awards!
The entrance :)
From our table.
Complimentary lemongrass drink.
Complimentary snacks which already 'masuk angin' ... zzzz...
Each table lit by this.. candlelight dinner .. which is actually quite dark.
Our foods. which cost RM286. TQ LCL for the birthday treat! ♥
Lobster as stated in the menu, but later on the waiter told us, it's not lobster, it's big prawn. Cost RM37 each, and we had 2 of different flavor. Which in the end, I only tasted spicy.
This plate of asparagus fried with garlic cost RM24.. it reminds me during my internship, we had asparagus for free.

Sea bass. RM88. Well.. spicy!

My conclusion is, this place have a superb environment. But food wise is so-so only for me. LCL want me to complaint that, during placing the booking, he already informed to the staff that he need a birthday cake for me and to give me as a surprise, but during the dinner he waited and waited and waited and apparently the staff forgotten. Haha! That's why it's important that for any special occasion, it's better to hands on rather than depends on others. Will I come back? No. I came for experience and I will spend that amount of money to experience other place =)

Guanzhou Day 4

And I'd abandoned my blog for almost one month. Talking about procrastination. This is last post for our Guangzhou-Shenzhen Trip. Day 4 is the last day of our trip. 
We woke up early to Canton Tower and plan to spend half day here and the other half to continue our last minute shopping XD
Arriving here around 9.30am, only to be informed that ticket for the top deck and sky walk can only be purchase after 10am. So we hang around at the lobby, waiting patiently. But do come early, the ticket price for entrance before 12pm is cheaper.
The observation deck which consist of 2 level.



We bought package FIT which cost RMB200 each, which includes a 360 degree bubble tram ride at height of 455m.

I think this is nice! We get 360 degree panoramic view from the tower. A bit scary though.
They have this Mega Drop package, which is much more expensive. Dropping from 485m to 455m, I do not dare to have a try. I am already screaming together with this group of people who was on the drop seat. I think if I'm the one on the seat, I could have fainted.
Done with Canton Tower, we continue our shopping XD
We stop by Beijing Lu, by taking MTR and stop at GongYuanQian station.
Wow again! Time to walk until the leg shake again.
However I find that shopping at ShangXiaJiuLu is better. I bought more things there and I did not buy anything from Beijing Lu. Didn't see anything that interested me to purchase.

And there is it, our 4 Day 4 Night shopping trip. Frankly the clothing is not really that cheap, which I end up thinking I could find these items back in Time Square and Sg. Wang. Furthermore, it's tiring and scary to have need to bargain with them and end up being $%^((*&% if you do not buy after asking. I bought a number of shoes and sweaters which is quite cheap, but not suitable for Malaysia weather. Haha.. Perhaps due to our trip is on winter season.
Looking forward to our next trip this March XD
