The both of us woke up at 9am in the morning, preparing ourselves before going out for some shopping, food , movie and more food!~ What a beautiful Sunday it was!!! The first thing came out of Boo Boo's and mine was......
heading to the lounge---> Our favorite place again for some coffee to last us through the day. Ahahaha..... I must say the service staffs in the lounge are really polite and although both me and my fiance did not purchase the breakfast option from the hotel, they insisted that we should at least "pinch" on the bites ,meant for the morning breakfast crowd. I was really touched by their service attitude, which is the most pushing factor to why I insisted on staying at Thistle!! Anyway, due to Boo Boo's craving for dim sum, we decided on Kai Xuan Restaurant at Puteri Pacific Hotel for our brunch.
Kai Xuan Restaurant (Halal)
I must say the dim sum tasted awful with the prawn dumpling's skin too thick and the yellow skin of the shark fins chicken dumplings cannot even hold the fillings together, not to mention the dim sum looked as if they were prepared the day before, and served cold on our table. For goodness's sake, the sequence of serving the 6 tables in the restaurant is also very wrong. All the dishes were served to one table then another which made us wait till very long for our food--> like half an hour before all dim sum we ordered came at one shot. I'm glad that we got the ala carte dim sum instead of spending RM 36++ per person for the dim sum buffet.Beautiful Creatures
After filling up our hungry stomachs, we went to City Square to catch a movie called "Beautiful Creatures". Although the movie critics have said that this movie is prepared to take over Twilight Saga, well, in my opinion I seriously think that it is non comparable in terms of attractive factor ( Both the male and female leads are not at least half pretty/handsome Jacob, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan), the emotional factor where the director, Richard LaGravenese should focus more on the struggling love between Ethan Lawson Wate and Lena Duchannes.
Both of us ordered the Salmon aligo olio and Baked cheese sambal chicken macaroni respectively from Elmingo. What I can comment is the aligo olio seemed too oily and the baked cheese tasted normal. Well, it is not a bad restaurant considering its Mexican's feel decorations but BooBoo thinks the waiter shouldn't have kept super long finger nails which looked very unhygienic.
Finally, I got to eat the desserts from 许留山. Have heard that the name is widely famous in Hong Kong and it did came to Singapore but I think it closed down few years ago. I was pretty excited to eat the famous "mango series", and as greedy as me, I chose 芒之恋 ( Mango Love) to taste the 3 different mango dessert in mini version. oo... it did not fail my expectations for craving it... One Word: Yummy Yummy! As for Boo, he chosen the 椰子果冻鲜雪芭( Coconut Jelly with Twin Sorbet), which is also another good choice especially the coconut jelly was mixed with the coconut flesh which tasted so refreshing and best is no need to use any wrist strength to dig the coconut meat!
The overall experience was great and seriously, there are still so many food, shopping and even massage places Boo boo and I have not yet explore in Johor Bahru. So looking forward to the next getaway with him and introducing the places to you! ... <3
