Look, let’s be real- with the pandemic making us stay at home most of the time, it’s no secret that we desire to escape. And for some, it could be beach island getaways or misty highlands but for some- the bustling city is enough for an R&R experience. But when you’re browsing at places to stay- how do you know what to look for? With that, read along as we provide the best tips at choosing hotels to stay in when you’re in KL.

1.       Ensure the location is strategic

The exact location of the hotel is one of the most obvious and important things to examine. If public transit is your primary mode of mobility, the best method to locate it is to use Google Maps or Moovit. Determine the locations where you will spend most of your time and make reservations in those regions. It would be ideal if you could walk to all of the places you want to go.

Additionally, your trip will be set if you can discover a hotel with breathtaking views within your budget. Keep in mind that you may require public transportation, grocery shops, or eating alternatives, all of which should be within walking distance.

My Laundry Routine with Kao Attack

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone! 

Has the pandemic changed your laundry routine? It surely does for me. Like many parents out there, I'm trying my best to provide a clean and safe enviroment for my kids. You know like bedsheets and kitchen towel, before covid I only deep clean and wash them once a month. OMG! So shy to tell this hahahahahah... change topic LOL... Anyway, how often do you do laundry? For me, it was a weekly routine before. Now, I would say every 3 days.

Phuture Plant Base Meat - Food Review

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone! 

Recently I tried Phuture Plant Base Meat, Burger Patties, and would like to share a review over it. You know I write about things that tickle my fancy. This round is this unique and interesting plant base meat. If you are in the market to try out something new yet very familiar, do give it a try. 

Burger with no cholesterol? Who do I sign up?? hahaha... I find it to be a healthier option. By consuming Phuture meat patties, you don't have to worry about non-healthy ingredients because it is 100% plant base. Which also means it does do no have animal proteins, no animal antibiotic, no added preservatives, and no artificial coloring. Sounds good right?  I also have no hesitation to give it to my kids as I am confident with its nutrients. 

This is how the packaging looks like. I like the colour and cheerful design of the packaging. Do you know that it has 21% less saturated fat compared to regular ground beef? This means it is also good for those who are conscious eaters. Anyway, sharing the ingredients I used to make a simple yet not so traditional burger. At that time, I was so excited to try them out you have no idea.

●      Six aspiring fashion-forward kids win mentorship with Kittie Yiyi and Min Luna

●      The winning designs were made into reality by Kittie Yiyi

 

Petaling Jaya, 28 July 2021 - It was a dream come true for the six young winners of the Barbie® You Can Be A Designer Fashion Reinvention Competition. Not only did they win a once-in-a-lifetime mentorship opportunity to learn from Fashion Designer, Kittie Yiyi, and Fashion Stylist, Min Luna, their original designs were made reality and brought to life by Kittie Yiyi for both our winners and their Barbie® dolls.

 

The competition was open for submissions from 30 April 2021 to 7June 2021. 85 entries from across Malaysia were submitted in two age categories: Category A (5-8 years old) and Category B (9-12 years old). The young hopefuls submitted a range of creative designs all conceived to WOW the judges and showcase their interests and personalities. The Top 20 entries were shortlisted for the Virtual Presentation, where the designers had the opportunity to present their designs to the judging panel composed of Kittie Yiyi, Min Luna, and Elaine Lim, Brand Manager of Mattel Continental Asia.

 

“It was so wonderful to meet the finalists at the Virtual Presentation and get a peek into their creative process,” said fashion designer, Kittie Yiyi. “I was inspired to see girls as young as 5 years old getting excited about fashion design. It brought back so many memories of when I was little and would sew clothes for my Barbie® dolls. It’s been such a joy to be a part of the journeys that these little designers are taking.”

 

Mindful Muslim App - Great App for Muslim Family

 

Assalamualaikum and Olla everyone! 

Today, I would like to share about Mindful Muslim App. Have you heard about this app? I was introduced by my blogger peer Ruby and I think it is an app that is not only for adults but also great for the whole family. Being a mum of two daughters, I wanted my kids to have as much exposure and knowledge from Quran. But as you can tell, I am not the most religious hence I am not the best person to teach them. 

Being in the pandemic, the best I can do is to engage an online tutor to teach them iqra. I tried my best to recite verses and doa, so they could replicate. Like doa before we eat, before going to sleep, and such. However, I don't have the knowledge capacity to teach them beyond that.

Post Covid Travel Thoughts

 

During MCO, we were thinking like we went to quite number of places and it evolves around nature. What about city life? I know we are currently staying in KL, but to experience other city, being in a place that is not familiar with us somehow intrigued me. Not far from home, easily accessible (after MCO is over of course), good food, why not Singapore? Plus its near, can drive down.

Personally I’ve been to Singapore twice on company trip. Its quite short and I didn’t really get to explore the city as my work itinerary is pack.  It would be nice to visit Singpore once again at my own pace. Travelling by public transport like trains will be awesome. I remember our trip to Hanoi. We walked the whole Hanoi city. Total walking distance was 14km. Sofea made it. I think it is now time for Zandria to embrace the challenge maybe?

 

Of course, when talking about trip, it must evolve around food right? Who doesn’t? Haha. Food is our favourite pastime. There are few places under our radar. The list is growing I can assure you.  We are looking forward to explore food in countless food courts in SG and see what other things might lead us to. Already imagining some seafood, Murtabak Singapore and Sup Tulang Merah. Yummeehh 😋

So what is left is accommodation (read: good hotel). Good hotel with a good price is a gold mine. Especially when you are travelling with kids, it will be very helpful to the for parents to stay patient during the whole trip. Kids (and parents) are hungry and tired and tends to be moody. Imagine getting back to the hotel room after exploring the city. Kids are happy to relax and watch cartoon on tv. Mom get to spend her me time in the bathtub (with bath bomb is a bonus) and dad get to chill with a cup of coffee enjoying the room view. Perfecto

Please take it seriously when I say - Always read review. Don’t simply book a hotel without checking out the review. Remember my experience at the spooky hotel in Phuket? Don’t repeat my mistake ok? Haha

We found few options for hotel in Singapore. Quality wise, it is generally good. You can find your best place according to budget, view, or accessibility to public transport and makan place. Marina Bay Sands is on top of our list. I saw many pictures on IG, so I also want loh. I would like to visit few friends that I know who currently working in Singpore. I would be nice to visit and catch up with them over a meal.

No final decision is made yet on which hotel we will be staying at. Rest assured that I will share the experience here. Hope it helps if you are looking for travelling to Singapore. Praying that the situation gets better so we all can continue to cross off our travel bucket list.

Stay safe and take care 😊 Also, I will do my best to share more experience in my blog hopefully it helps you to plan your own trip in the future.
