KUL-SIN-AMS-PTY

[Throwback January] Took SIA from KUL to SIN then transit at Changi Terminal 1 around 1:40am to AMS.

Singapore Changi Airport.....back here after a month from my December trip.

It was quite empty coz midnight.

Terminal 1 has blue carpet....I wonder what colour the carpet will be for the new Terminal 5😂

My favorite carpet is still Terminal 4. The completion of T5 is targeted for the mid-2030.

Next flight took around 13++ (almost 14) hours from SIN to AMS. I tried to sleep throughout the flight to adjust my bio clock to the US hours...

Midway flight I was served with 'supper' (i think)....Pasta, barley salad and some sort of bread pudding (if not mistaken). There was another 'breakfast' meal served before arriving. Apart from 2 main meals, they also hand out brownie/light snack in between.

Very informative flight details. It is animated and you can zoom in/out to see the map and real-time plane location.

Arrived sharp on time. Sky was gloomy and about sun rise in AMS.

The Christmas decoration was still there in Schiphol airport.

Next flight AMS-PTY, I was served with meatballs and pasta...with 3 types of tapas and a bread.

The flight from AMS - PTY took around 11++ hours. 

Before arriving in Panama City, I had a bun and pancakes with honey sauce. Fruits were grapes and red watermelon. Plain yogurt as dessert. This should be 'teatime' i guess.

KLM’s punctuality is top‑notch, with flights landing right on time or earlier. Sometimes too early that the airport hasn’t yet prepared the jet bridge. The food however, is just so-so compared to most Asian airlines.

Chicken Prawn Hor Fun

Went for chicken with prawn hor fun noodle in Sunny Food Republic....RM14 with chicken drumstick and 2 pieces of prawns. I like the texture of the slippery smooth hor fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Getting my Korean food fix at Midam again....

I had Ttukbaegi-bulgogi

the banchans....there's a fried egg too (not in this picture)

See....it was so good that I finished everything!

back to gym to burn off the calories....

Soon Lock, Puchong Jaya

Weekend family dinner at Soon Lock again.

Their specialty is roast duck. But they also have roast chicken and pork.

The eye-catching roast meat display at the shop front, like those roast meat shops in HK. This was taken after we finished our dinner, hence not many left.

As usual we ordered 4 dishes...

Roast duck is a must. Ordered half bird.

Yam ring with kungpao chicken.

Claypot tofu with assorted veggies.

Romaine lettuce in fuyu sauce.

The bill came to RM162.50 nett for 5 pax. My sis treats this time coz she just got promoted. Yay!😀

Overall, a good meal. All dishes taste right for us. We don't feel thirsty at all after the meal, hence no msg.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another note, KFC is having a promo until 21 May 2026. I'm gonna have KFC one of these days!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My breakfast after fasting for 18 hours. Koko Crunch with Homesoy soybean milk.

Long time didn't have cereals...

Leave now to meet Jesus

What is this?

Power Bowls!

One of my 'staples' in Panama....I need rice and beans to survive😂

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I commute to the office by Uber daily. In one occasion....I was so thrilled to see this notification!

I'm not ready to meet Jesus with such short notice!??!

Well, Jesus arrived and i managed to land in heaven safely...

I can even rate him....i mean his ride😄

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Atrio mall in Costa del Este....somehow reminded me of Atria mall in PJ!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Popeye's Panama has arroz con frijoles (rice with beans) too!

But i like their coleslaw and mashed potato more. Their spicy chicken tastes similar to our Texas chicken.

USD6.10 nett for this set meal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My room in BVI (Caribbean). Huge king size bed that can fit 3 person! The hotel has low occupancy....I can count by one hand on how many rooms were occupied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rice and beans with shredded fish, coleslaw, sweet potatoes, cassava, taro.....very typical Caribbean staples. This was one of my lunches with colleagues at a seaside restaurant in Cane Garden Bay, BVI.

Rum mixed with gin. Very alcoholic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My first time taking Copa Airlines. This was from Panama to Sint Maarten (Caribbean). The flight took around 3 hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On a typical day in the Panama office, my lunches were usually 'green leafy' and some protein/carbs I packed from home. I seldom dine out for lunch coz there aren't many eateries near the office.

LOL, my post is so unstructured with back-and-forth Panama, Sint Maarten and BVI....I'm still sorting out my photos. Stay tuned!

Midam Korean Restaurant

My second time having sundubu jjigage at Midam Korean BBQ restaurant.

I like their banchans......much better than the previous Korean restaurant that i frequented last time (Minarae).

Portion is generous too....

6 banchans (including the fried sunny side up egg). The sundubu jjigae itself has an egg in it too.

RM22 nett after service charge and tax.

I will definitely come back again to try other dishes in the menu.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mille crepes sold in RT - lemon cheese, yam (taro), mango and lotus biscoff.

I have only tried the yam crepe and it was good....Will definitely buy it again.

RM9 Car Wash

Potted plants at my parent's house...ah, finally some natural greens (instead of fake plants)....

Went for car wash at the Shell petrol station along PLUS highway - RM9

Super huge Mixue vanilla softserve - RM2

My first meal after back in M'sia is not nasi lemak but curry chicken rice at Sunny Food Republic. It came with acar and sambal at RM11 nett.

The bright interior of Panama airport, taken on departure day. This is Terminal 2.

The kitchen of my airbnb home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their Subway menu is extensive!

They have grilled meat (which is grilled on the spot upon order), some cold cuts as well as beef, chicken and bacons too.

All other veggies/condiments/sauces are same as ours, unless you order the grilled version which has its own sauces (like chimichurri, guacamole etc)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Illegal parking will be fined up to USD2000. Don't play play!

My clear fridge food....

And the view outside my airbnb unit. On a fine day, you can see the vessels/cargo ships queuing at the ocean to enter the canal.
