INTRODUCTION
It was a food trip in Kuala Lumpur & Genting with Tangshooter butties, featuring non-stop eating action throughout the days, and around the clock. TangEaters made this tagling, 'We shoot when the food is hot, and eat when the food is cold'
DAY 1 (06 June 2010, Sunday)
I met up with May, Wendy and Henry at the LCCT when their flight touch down in KL at around 0900hrs. We hopped on to the Air Asia shuttle bus that sends us to KL Sentral, where we transferred a taxi to the Dorsett Regency Hotel.
While the hotel gets our room ready, we deposited our luggage at the bell counter and went over to Restoran Sun Fong Bak Kut Teh at Jalan Imbi for breakfast. It's my favourite Ba Kut Teh stall in KL!
Mix bak kut teh with intestines
Yellow wine chicken
After a filling breakfast, its walkabout around Jalan Imbi for some shots.
Times Square
Over to Krispy Kreme for some donuts and coffee
Back at the hotel to check in. The rooms are newly furnished, and the rates are pretty reasonable at just RM230 per night. Location is good as it is within the Golden Triangle in the Bukit Bintang area.
Fantastic view of KL from our room
When we were left with nothing to shoot, this is what we do....... with a bottle of Absolut vodka........
Before we knew it, we were hungry again. This time its the famous big prawn noodles and paper wrap chicken stall at Jalan Imbi.
Paper wrap chicken
Huge prawn noodles, very delicious but too salty
Beef horfun
Caixin
After dinner, we tried capturing sunset from the hotel but due to the tinted glass panel, we were not able to get a good shot of the sunset view without any reflection shown on the window panel. In the end, we decided to do some bo-liao theme shots instead.
Bukit Bintang at night
The Beach Club
Late night cheap supper at the backlane near our hotel:

The professional sea-hump (cockles) extractor that extracts 65 sea-humps per minute!
Took a cab to this taxi station for RM5, where we were transferred to a Genting taxi to send us up to Genting Highlands for RM80. The long and winding journey took about 1hr+ as the driver was going really slow!
Genting Highlands still the same like 20yrs ago... not much changes
Lunch at Marybrown! Yummy!!
From Genting, we took a taxi straight to Mid-Valley Mall, in search of the Penang stall that sells delicious assam laksa. Our efforts were not wasted when we finally managed to located the store!

Back at the hotel, we played cards and had managed to finish the entire bottle of Absolut Vodka, as well as all the remaining tidbits!!!
DAY 3 (08 June 2010, Tuesday)
Early morning colours in the sky.
Again, it was early breakfast at the same coffee shop so that we can get tickets to visit the skybridge at the twin towers.
Nasi Lemak
Kway Teow Soup
Chee Cheong Fun
We were shocked to encounter such a long queue at the Twin Towers before they even dispatching tickets for the skybridge visit. By the time we got our tickets, it was for the 5pm visit, which we could not make it as we will be catching our evening flight back. Eventually, we gave our tickets to a group of Europeans who just arrived and were unable to get any tickets.
Nevertheless, we walked around Suria KLCC Mall and took some shots of the twin tower.
A&W.... shiok!
Coney Dog is cheaper on Tuesdays!
Curly Fries
Ice Cream root beer float
Found Little Penang Kafe at Suria KLCC Mall!!! We were so delighted!!!
Assam Laksa
Nice creamy Otah
Delicious Chendol!
It's time to get back to the hotel to check out for the day! We then hanged around the lounge at the lobby, got some drinks and Krispy Kreme donuts to munch on, before getting a taxi to KL Sentral for the Air Asia bus ride to LCCT, to catch our flight back to Singapore.
