Palladium Cafe KL & Batu Caves

























On one fine day (3rd of August)
Our original plan was to have our lunch at NU Sentral followed by Palladium Cafe KL
But we ended up with a half day trip to the Batu Caves
Unexpected trips are the best right?

So after having done some shopping and lunch at Pasta Zanmai
We took the KTM to Taman Wahyu
According to one blog
The Palladium Cafe is actually within 10-15 minutes walk from the Taman Wahyu KTM station
We initially followed
But unfortunately there was some construction going on that day
So they blocked the roads (you can still walk there but it will be quite dangerous given that you have to walk besides the highway with speeding cars)
After walking for about 10 minutes
We walked back to the ktm station and took a cab instead (which only cost us RM3 cuz it was really near)
It was a great workout especially when we had to carry the shopping bags and walk under the evil hot sun!




































Your mood will be instantly lifted up when you saw the exterior of the Palladium Cafe
It is a Jay Chou themed glasshouse cafe
If you are a fan of Jay Chou you will surely know about this cafe as it was displayed in one of his MVs
Well, let the pictures do the talking~

























The menu offered a very limited choice of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages
With soothing Jay Chou's songs playing in the background
It was indeed a very relaxing afternoon

The best thing about life is when you have someone to share your coffee with
























































Outside the cafe. You will see nicely decorated walkways with pebble stones.



















































































Since Taman Wahyu is just a station before Batu Caves
So we planned to go to there since the day was still early
We have always wanted to go there
Another tick off our bucket list!

Batu Caves is a limestone outcrop located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines.  
Its main attraction is the large statue of the Hindu God at the entrance, besides a steep 272 climb up its steps to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre.  
Monkeys frolic around the caves, and it is a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. Paintings and scenes of Hindu Gods can also be seen in the Ramayana Cave. 
Looking from afar








































Walking closer






































Ascending the stairs


























One step at a time and you will eventually reach your destination. 






































One note for the ladies
Please do not wear shorts if you are planning to hike up the stairs
If not
You will have to pay RM5 (RM2 as deposits which will be returned later) for the scarves to cover your legs




































It's fascinating! All the climbs were totally worth it!






































Monkeys everywhere~

























Look at the limestones. 










































































On our way home. This looks like we were in an airplane when we were actually in a ktm coach. 






































An ice-cream from McD to mark the end of our trip. New flavor: Hershey's chocolate + Vanilla. I'm a happy girl!






































Most of the pictures here were taken by my friend, Carmen

Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (need to zoom in my pi

Eco Forest One Day Trip

Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas) I only got to know about it recently And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?! This is the entrance that we entered from We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas Once you walk out from the station You will see this sign Just follow it There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan) If you follow the Jalan Ampang route You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed It was quite an easy hike But lesser people The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route Immersing ourselves in the forest There were actually very few people using this route So it is better to come in a bigger group of people And remember to bring mo
