Mornings at Astaka Taman Tun Sardon is a foodie’s dream.
There are so many stalls dishing out so many scrumptious food for breakfast that it’s a shame this place is not as well patronised as some of the famous outlets in town. I guess it’s location can be challenging to some; but if you can spare the time Astaka Taman Tun Sardon is really worth the effort.

Now if you’ve missed the morning session (my post on that is next!), fret not as Sulaiman chapati would keep you happily satiated for tea time. Besides Sulaiman, other options includes 4-5 stalls along the outer ring of food court selling fried spring rolls (popia goreng), fried snacks such as fishballs, etc as well as beverages stalls hawking soya bean and cincau.

But it was Sulaiman’s chapati that drew the crowd.

The Vistana Hotels brands were relaunched in the theme of “Time Change, So Do We” earlier this week.
It was a timely and apt theme, for Vistana Hotel KL was opened in 1995 and 2014 marked its 19th year in business. After nearly 2 decades, any hotel would benefit from a refurbishment!

From a simple hawker stall back when it started in 1992, Sany Char Kuey Teow is now a proper eatery with an open kitchen and its own floor space.
They have a big signboard up, but since it isn’t exactly a brick and mortar restaurant or outlet your best landmark is the Penang Snake Temple in Bayan Lepas.
It is an open air, roofed eatery just a few steps away.

“Mother Misses You” Billboard on Federal Highway KL

I had just landed in KL after 3 days in Penang for the research of my “Rebecca Penang Halal Guide”.
My hometown was so busy; some roads on the island were jammed up all day and the UNESCO heritage site in Georgetown had swarms of people on every street, every junction and most are locals!

No doubt many were back in Penang to celebrate the festivals with their families. For the elderly, it is probably the only opportunity to see and hug their young ones. At a recent open house, there were 6 generations of the family tree in a house!
It was heart warming to witness the cheers and strong family bonds of my friends’ families. Many had posted on their Instagram and Facebook of their reunion dinners and card games and the fireworks sessions.
I was all warm and fuzzy inside still when I got back to KL.

However this message on this billboard on the Federal Highway gave me a jolt.
