Cultural Walk

Brought the boys for a walk sometime back, thought it will be an interesting itinerary to share..

We drove to Pahang Street for some Middle East Kebabs. Pretty good food and nice environment for their $20 Set Meal. (http://www.amirahsgrill.com/default.asp). It has nice decors and artwork to let the boys have a feel on Arabic artifacts.

Then we walk over to Kampong Glam and simply let Jerome thru the shops looking at batiks, handicrafts etc.. and then through the stretch of road flank with Malay tailors on both side. Mark and I was so tempted to make a set of their costume for wedding shots.

Along the way, Jem found a DIY aeroplane that turn with the direction of the wind. Indeed these people are creative.. cos i found a guy blending in traditional Malay designs into casual wear even on jeans. They are pretty cool pieces to wear!

Next we drove on to Chinatown... but the boys were tired out from the walk. So we grabbed some tong sui from Temple Street and 'paktor' a bit while they zzz on at the backseat. Brought them in to see the new temple but my, they are strict. As usual i was don in my sphagetti straps tee which they do not allow entry to the main hall. But they did offer me a shawl to cover up which i decline cos the thought of sharing with so many people made me itched.

We walk on to the little shops along the way and end with dinner along the street. Tiring?? Indeed ... but i had to get them used and enjoy it before we move on to musuems. Alas, we will have grumbling kids next time if i do go back to backpacking.

Keen to join us next time?
