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.

Teppanyaki, IOI City Mall

Tim Horton RM10 drinks....
on the left: Signature Latte - Maple Cinnamon
on the right: Iced Capp Coffee - The Original
Lunch catch-up with a friend after a long time. When she suggested to have teppanyaki, I immediately agreed....We miss teppanyaki so much!
Mine is chicken set. I ordered the set meal which came with edamame, pickles, konyaku, chawanmushi and miso soup. Green tea drink is ala-carte at RM1.90
[Below] the pickles and konyaku
chawanmushi
The chef....
The chicken was cooked on the spot, hence it is nice to eat right out from the teppan.
The bill for my chicken set with drink came to RM27.60 nett after service charge and tax.
Itadakimasu!

Less than a dollar shampoo

Mr.DIY has shifted to Level 1 in the neighborhood Pinnacle mall. It was previously located inside the supermarket at LG floor. Went in to have a look....
Cheap shampoo.....less than a dollar (if you convert to USD)😂
There are a few racks selling F&B items too....
my favorite Homesoy soy bean milk selling cheaper than the market price....it is usually RM3.35 (or higher) but here you can get it for less than RM3.
The individual packets are cheap too...
Cincau (grass jelly) drinks to cool down on hot days....
Do you like cincau drinks?
Talking about hot days....it was so hot recently that I decided to go uphill for some cool breeze....
It was still Hari Raya school holiday then, hence the weekend crowds
My chapfan in the foodcourt....soup and tea included in this set meal that costs me 6 points
The gigantic LED screens with ads in SkyAvenue complex
The colorful display from the screens creates a lively ambience
This year their Hari Raya decor seems simple compared to the previous years
[Below] A place for tea & drinks....
A section of this place was closed on last year due to repairs after a fire incident. It's now fully opened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A snapshot of KL skyline taken from SUKE highway....ah, so scenic!
Peace and tranquil
It wasn't sunny but the weather was hot....superhot!
KL tower and Berjaya Times Square
KLCC twin towers are visible too....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I noticed that Uncle Soon fried rice has opened an outlet in the neighborhood....
I will go try it one day....
It's good to be back!
