CNY Decor 2 Malls

A small platform as the stage. Houses with roof beams but without roof tiles, hhmmmmm...

The green plants - are they bamboos? - give the whole space a refreshing look - like an idyllic village.

Overall look of the CNY Decor at Midvalley Mall.

Another view. 

A bunch of pink and red lanterns hanging at the Gardens Mall. These lanterns are in light blue too, hanging at another spot.

The so said light blue lanterns. There are also another type of red lanterns with pink flowers hanging from the ceiling.

Just like previous years, the Gardens Mall will have CNY booths for patrons to take photos with.

Another two photo booths. There are more of them scattered around the ground floor of this mall.

*** A&W Sri Petaling ***

I am happy to note that the A&W branch is still in business in Sri Petaling. I am not sure why I was under the impression that it has closed after my previous visit there during CNY day 3 in 2018. Since it is still open, I had my favourite root beer float with coney sausage bun there again. Who is counting calories?

Beef sausage bun served in a basket. Taste is still acceptable.

Now I am smarter. Instead of a large glass of Root Beer with 1 scoop of ice cream, I asked for a regular glass of Root Beer with 2 scoops of ice cream which taste better. This time, the drink was cold enough so it was a satisfying meal as compared to the not-so-cold drink that I had at the branch in PJ.

The price I noticed is lower than in 2018. I also bought a takeaway children meal which includes a stationery set. So I will be back once in a while to indulge myself in calories. :)

Splendiferous 1U CNY Decor

Previously when I was there, the CNY decor was not ready but now they are.

The lanterns above look like this when we are standing below them.

But when we look down on the lanterns, we can see there are baskets of flowers on top of each lantern.

There is a small golden platform which I think acts as the stage for various performances.

Overall top view of the CNY decor with red seats in the middle for patrons to rest and many kiosks that sell CNY goodies. I overheard someone mentioned that the white flowers are daffodils.

Overall front view of the CNY decor in the new wing of One Utama. Do you prefer this year's CNY decor compare to the previous years' CNY decor: 2018, 2017 and 2016?

WG Grandmama

I had ABC (Mixed shaved ice dessert) only for lunch at MYR 8.50++ (10% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 9.86 nett).

I find it delicious because I like the taste of the red rose syrup, vanilla ice cream and all the ingredients such as longan, corn, red beans, peanuts put together. They are also very smart to serve the coconut syrup separately in a small jug without me having to request them to do so. This way, I could adjust the sweetness to my preference. The coconut syrup tastes very strongly of coconut - just like those coconut candy wrapped in colourful transparent foil that we used to eat when young - which my friend does not like because she does not like the taste of coconut.

Both my friends had Hainanese Chicken Rice at MYR 16++ (MYR 18.56 nett) each. They said that the chicken rice is tasty.

Grandmama's at Pavilion Mall.

SunnyHills

I have heard a lot about SunnyHills pineapple tarts but have yet to taste any until my friend gave me two pieces. They are from Taiwan and are sold in SG too but not here.

They are different in shape when compared to Chiate pineapple tarts.

Oblong

Fibrous

I find it as tasty as Chiate pineapple tarts.

Parmesan Truffle Crunch

Saw this advertisement somewhere online and decided to try it. They do not sell ala carte for just the chicken so I had to buy the combo set. I decided to buy the 3 pieces combo set because it is better value for money. I requested for the coleslaw to be replaced by mashed potatoes and mountain dew soft drink to be replaced by pepsi light although both food items I gave away to my friends.

Takeaway because I just wanted to eat one piece and gave the rest to my friends. MYR 21.50 nett for 3-pc combo set. I ate one drumstick - very crispy with strong truffle taste but on the oily side. If you like the smell of truffles, this is worth a try.

KFC at Nu Sentral Shopping Mall. Quite a large branch. They accept credit card payment too for any value.

WG Moved

 Aunty Christina's Sarawak Laksa has now moved to Sea Park Kopitiam, PJ.

 Sea Park Kopitiam is a corner shop located in the same block of shops as Thong Kee Sea Park.

 It serves mixed rice (chap fan) too.

My friends ate Sarawak Laksa while I had a plate of  mix rice with no rice: braised hard boiled egg, braised tofu, broccoli, cauliflower, petai and daikon (MYR 6.50 nett).

Received a pack of CNY angpow envelopes when I bought these four egg tarts at MYR 2.50 nett each.

 Fruity Yee Sang (small): pistachio, pomelo, chia seed, wax apple (jambu air), dried cranberry, white dragon fruit, dried blueberry, jackfruit, grape, deep fried dough, mandarin orange, pomegranate, pumpkin seeds, snow pear, apple, peanut, and carrot. Tasty and refreshing! MYR 108 nett. A plate of BBQ honey meat (char siew) at MYR 35 nett.

Dim sum - Prawn meat siew mai (MYR 17 nett), prawn dumplings (MYR 17 nett) and my favourite scallop dumplings (MYR 28 nett).

Salted Egg Yolk Prawns at MYR 88 nett.
