Kilo Grill Barbeque Restaurant – 11 August 2018

The restaurant.  It looks very plain from the outside



Entrance sign
I stumbled upon this restaurant on Facebook and decided to try out this place for my birthday celebration.


The simple menu and price





You can only opt for buffet BBQ, i.e. Eat all you can, choose your meat and seafood and cook it yourself! If you are a meat lover, this will be the place for you, as they serve marinated pork, chicken, beef, lamb, octopus, squid, tiger prawns, oysters, eggplants, king oyster mushroom and sweet corn. The food is very fresh and worth the money you pay. Apart from the BBQ, side dishes like kimchi, beans sprout, green tea and rice are complimentary.

Side dishes and the sauces

Check out the pork bacon



All sorts of meat being BBQ. Not sure which is which, just EAT

Prawns, Squids and Onions 

Although there were bad reviews about this place saying that the service is not good, surprisingly the service was good and fast. The price is reasonable for a buffet. If you order Korean beers, it’s actually RM10 per can. Also, remember to add on 10% service charge on top of your bill.   

The ambiance of the restaurant is pretty simple. It can get very smoky once the place is crowded. As for parking, you can park inside Solaris Dutamas. And yes, we will definitely come back again.......

KL Tower Mini Zoo – 9 September 2018



KL Tower Mini Zoo Farm is located next to the main entrance of KL Tower. Certain animals are allowed to roam freely in their designated sections.

It was Agung’s birthday so we decided to meet at 10am (opening time) at the entrance to avoid the crowd. However, KL Tower was already full with tourists by the time we arrived. Luckily we managed to get a parking space near the entrance of the Mini Zoo.

You can get the tickets at the entrance. We managed to get our tickets at 50% off the original price from a roadshow in a shopping mall.   

Check out the ticket prices

Parrots to welcome you

Here we go......
We were given our wrist bands and the map of the Mini Zoo. Here are the sections that we went to:

Mini Jungle

When we entered, there was a friendly goat that greeted us. Also, there were tortoises and a cute wallaby inside a human made pouch. There were other animals like snakes and chickens. Snakes were inside the aquariums while the chickens were roaming freely.






Dusky Wallaby
The explanation


Spot that blotted snake



Albino Golden Python
Falabella Stable

Small breed of horses that were somewhere else and not at their stable at the time we were there. 

Bird Aviary

We saw some birds and pigeons flying around. There will be someone giving you food for you to feed the birds and small parrots. But do watch out for birds’ poo as they are flying all over your head.  





Alpaca

You can feed this animal.

Scarecrow before reaching the Alpaca






Longkang Fishing

Kids just love catching fishes. Unfortunately, there were not many fishes and they were afraid and all hiding from the humans. There were nets and buckets available for you to catch and then to release them back into the longkang.



Jungle Café and Gift House

We thought it’s the end of the Mini Zoo when we saw the Gift House, but it’s not. There is another part and you need to walk passed the Gift House. In the café, you can buy snacks and ice cream. You can get t-shirts, toys and souvenirs from the Gift House.




Pet Village

At this section, you will be able to pet and feed the rabbits, guinea pigs and tortoises.  





Albino Long Tailed Macaque

You will be able to see some scorpions, millipede and sugar glider before reaching the albino enclave. The albino is also known as the “Snow White”. It’s quite interesting to see this kind of monkeys.


Searching for "kutu" (lies)

Nice to observe them



Raccoon

You will be able to feed the cute and cuddly teddy bear raccoons.




What to bring?

During your visit, best to bring the following:-

  1. Mosquito repellant. We were not being bitten but mosquito patches would be good
  2. A bottle of water
  3. Poncho or umbrella just in case it’s raining
  4. Cap or hat if it’s really sunny and to protect you from the birds’ poo
  5. Sanitizer and wet wipes (basins and soap are provided)
  6. A change of clothes (just in case). Once you are sweaty, you are smelly.

Overall & Verdict

  • You need at least 1 ½ - 2 hours at the zoo
  • A great place to entertain your kids
  • An educational tour
  • Mini zoo and not so smelly

Comparison with Farm In The City

  • Small and not that smelly
  • Less animals to see but still good fun for the kids and adults
  • You can view the animals very quickly in a short amount of time
  • No riding on ponies
  • No food to eat at the café, just snacks and ice creams

Salaree is 6 – 15 August 2018



This year will be the last birthday party for her at her kindy. Salaree requested for a Hello  Kitty themed party.

I decided to order a Hello Kitty vanilla fudge cake from Moonlight Cake House again since they have provided me with very good service the years before. I ordered the cake about 2 weeks before and picked up the cake from Moonlight Cake House in Setapak. 




We arrived at the kindy at 10.00am. This year we only had the cake and 27 party packs; 15 for girls and 12 for boys. The items for the party packs, are from Lolli Angels and I purposely chose Hello Kitty theme stationery, jigsaw puzzles and stickers. As for the boys, it was Cars stationery, jigsaw puzzle and stickers.  

Salaree’s friends stood up and sang Happy Birthday, in English, Mandarin and BM for her. After that, Salaree blew the candles and cut her cake.


At night, after her gym training, the celebration continued at SS2 for a durian session.
