This morning’s breakfast was simple. I just had some peanut butter toast at home with the baby. We discovered a children’s indoor playground in Imago so we let her play a little there before her nap. It was only RM25 (~$8 CAD) for the whole day with in and out privileges, much more reasonable than… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 17: Kota Kinabalu

Today for breakfast, we ate some of the buns we bought at the market the other day. I had the pandan one. Pandan is such a popular flavour here so I had to try this one. It was pretty good fluffy bun with a crispy exterior (since we reheated it in the airfryer here). We mostly… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 15: Kota Kinabalu

Parking is so interesting here where you have to buy a scratch card and then scratch off the appropriate time and date. Such… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 11: Kota Kinabalu

This morning, I woke up at 6am before the baby is awake and got some blogging done while listening to Gary Chaw (inspired by yesterday's visit to his restaurant). Most days I’ve been here, I’ve been waking up at 5am and just listening to podcasts and catching up on social media until baby woke up.… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 10: Kota Kinabalu

This morning, we visited an auntie’s house for breakfast. Her beautiful house is a tropical oasis with many different plants and animals. The baby had a good time meeting all the animals and especially enjoyed petting the cat. Here, we had some coffee as well as a few Malaysian sweets. Frank the turtle For lunch,… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 9: Kota Kinabalu

Last morning at the Le Meridian and our last breakfast at Latest Recipe. I couldn’t leave without having another nasi lemak. I also tried their chicken congee for the first time. It was tasty by itself but I topped it off with some grilled chicken, beef curry and veggies. My fully loaded chicken congee at… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 8: Kota Kinabalu
