It was recently reported
in the social media like FaceBook and also commented by various walks of life
that the current Christmas decoration in Pavilion KL was the best in town. Hence I decided to make a visit to Pavilion KL
and dated my cousin brother Pan Mok Weng who had during last week (10/12/2017 –
17/12/2017) traveled to Bangkok
for vacation and helped bought upon my request 4 bottles of Siangpure medicated
oil for me.
As my wife is busy
with domestic chores and not interested to follow me, I went alone.
At 11.10am on
Friday, 22/12/2017, I left home to go the nearby bus-stand. Took MRT shuttle bus to Bukit Dukung MRT
station, reaching there at 11.35am. The train arrived at 11.40am and took me to
Bukit Bintang at 12.10pm. Pan was
already waiting for me at Exit Gate D then.

We went to Lot 10 Hutong food court for lunch. I ordered roast duck rice (RM13.50) while Pan
took roast chicken rice (RM9.50). I
found the taste of roast duck was only so-so despite its reputation.

After meal, we
walked to Pavilion KL from Lot 10, along Jalan
Bukit Bintang and through the underpass from Fahrenheit 88 Shopping Mall. The Christmas decoration in Pavailion KL was
indeed beautiful. Many tourists were
there. After taking many photos, Pan and
I sat down for drinks at Old
Town White Coffee at the
ground floor and chit-chatted for at least half an hour. I paid Pan RM60 for the cost of 4 bottles of
25cc Siangpure Oil (120 Baht each) he bought on my behalf.

Pan suggested that we walked to the nearby KLCC for sight-seeing as it was linked by air-conditioned bridge from Pavilion. He was right to say that we always to travel to cities of other countries for sight-seeing but we overlooked the beauty of our own city. As a matter of fact, there were plenty of tourists flocking Jalan Bukit Bintang this time in the festive mood of Christmas just around the corner!

So we went to KLCC
at about 3.30pm and noticed a lot of tourists inside and outside Suria KLCC
shopping centre. There was a fairly tall
Christmas tree in front of Suria KLCC, but the overlooking fountain was
unfortunately not in operation. The
Christmas decoration inside the shopping centre was quite a scene too!

Before we left
KLCC at 4.15pm, we went for shopping in Isetan supermarket. I bought a box of
cookies (RM 17) and 2 no. Danish apple cake (RM6.98) and 3 no. Cheese &
Cheese (RM11.04).
Pan and I took a LRT
ride from KLCC at about 4.30pm. He
dropped off at Masjid Jamek station while I at the next stop at Pasar Seni at
4.45pm. From there I took a MRT ride to
go back to Bukit Dukung, reaching at 5.20pm. By the time I took the MRT shuttle
bus and returned home, it was 5.45pm.
