Malaysia A380 Business class, Kuala Lumpur - London

The last time I tried MH A380 business class was on the short haul flight between HK and KL in 2013.  Was much impressed with their service and the seat comfort.  This time I flew a long haul flight from KL to London.  Because of the ticket on sale (both ways were very full), the service is somewhat a bit not as good as before.  However, it's still very nice to fly on A380 for such a long flight.  Their signature satay is very welcome before the meal.  Slept so well that we missed the breakfast (served 2.5 hours before arrival).  I asked the crew if they can still have something quick, they came back with a nice meal (50 min. before touch down) - the last photo.

Seat-in service, Coffee Bean and Tea Leave Kuala Lumpur

Some may complain this kind of cafe would take seat-in service only, but I would agree to it.  There are indeed so many customers who don't buy a drink but occupy the seats for those paying customers.  A restaurant is open for business, not for charity or a Government run places.

Kampachi Japanese restaurant, Pavillions, Kuala Lumpur

This restaurant has been expanding its branches in various places in SE Asia.  Haven't tried any of those until I got curious to try this one in KL.  In terms of the price (about US$15-20), it's a very nice Japanese meal I have had in KL.  

Hide and seek for a coffee and an omelette, Park Royal Serviced Apartment, Kuala Lumpur

It's quite interesting this serviced apartment has put a self-service coffee maker at the loft corner of the restaurant.  What's more, during breakfast, the egg station was also put at a hidden corner (outside the garden - photo 4).  

Rooftop swimming pool, Park Royal Serviced apartment, Kuala Lumpur

This apt. has 2 swimming pools.  This one is on the rooftop with a nice panoramic view to the KL city skyline.

One bedroom suite, Park Royal Serviced Suites, Kuala Lumpur

Tried Park Royal hotel (on Bukit Bintang) almost 10 years ago.  Service wise it's pretty good and the room is comfy and cozy.  So that left me a pleasant impression about this brand.  When this serviced suites was open (behind Istana hotel), I'd love to try it.  Turned out it's a nice choice.  As I checked in at 8am, the hotel room wasn't ready but the front office offered a half/half room offer - a room upgrade to a one bedroom suite but on the smoking floor.  As the front office noticed my hesitation, they promptly suggested to ask the housekeeping to have some room fragrance spray in the room.  I then took their good will gesture.  In fact, the room isn't with any smoking odour.  Very spacious and clean and in a contemporary design.  

寶香肉骨茶 Pao Xiang Ba Ku Teh (spare rib soup), Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur

This kind of food is almost an extinct in KL.  20-30 years ago, it wasn't like that.  However, though back then certain religion considered pork as something dirty, to some extent, a respect can be paid to the others.  In the recent years, it has become more drastic by claiming pork as something offensive or blasphemous.  

When I tried to ask for a table close to the door's entrance, I was told that I couldn't because there was a wedding being held next door, they didn't allow to have the pork smell being close to the door side.  I really feel that those people shouldn't choose a restaurant which is next to a place selling pork.  Anyway, if someone doesn't like beef or chicken in their religion, would they ask for the others on the same? 

So back to this shop, I am happy they continue to keep its nice quality.  I like their soaked peanuts, eggs, and the main character spare rib soup.
