Adam's Kitchen ni terletak di Bandar Perda, Penang, dekat dgn Restoran Kapitan Perda. Kedai ni actually dah lama nampak tapi tak pernah try. Setiap kali pergi makan kat Restoran Kapitan, Nash Bistro atau Kedai Nasi Arab Hadramawt kat sana, mesti cakap lain kali nak try makan kat Adam's Kitchen. Bulan ganti tahun, tak pergi-pergi pun jugak.
So hari tu, the in-laws family plan nak berbuka kat luar sambil sambut belated birthday Ayah dan advance birthday Ibu. Diorang suggest nak makan kat Adam's Kitchen, so setuju je lah sebab memang teringin nak cuba.
Kalau sebelum ni, perjalanan dari utara ke selatan melalui Lebuhraya Utara Selatan tak banyak kawasan rehat yang agak besar di belah utara. Jadi semua tempat makan, tempat solat, tandas agak sesak. Kalau yang keluar exit bawah sikit, dah banyak juga pilihan tempat rehat seperti di R&R Gunung Semanggol (Bukit Merah), R&R Sungai Perak atau R&R Tapah.
Tapi lepas kawasan baru dibuka di Pusat Perniagaan Setia Sentral di R&R Juru (arah selatan), lepas ni lebih mudah dan selesa lah para musafir nak isi perut, beli bekalan atau berehat seketika sebelum menyambung perjalanan tu.
Kalau travel dari utara ke selatan lepas ni, boleh lah singgah tempat-tempat makan baru di R&R Juru Arah Selatan ni, selain gerai makanan R&R yang sedia ada.
Ada sesetengah premis ini menyediakan kemudahan seperti surau, indoor playground kanak-kanak dan wifi percuma untuk keselesaan pelanggan. Dan hampir kesemua menyediakan perkhidmatan pandu-lalu.
Hari tu duduk mengemas rumah, ternampak lah buku Little Pilot Logbook & Travelogue Diary Balqis ni dan photobook-photobook travel Balqis. Mummy pun belek punya belek. Sikit punya lama lah tak berjalan jauh rupanya. Kalau Balqis dulu umur 8 bulan dah start merasa naik kapal terbang (walaupun naik dari Penang turun Langkawi je haha), Bilal belum ada rezeki lagi nak bawak berjalan dengan aeroplane.
Lepas tu mula lah membayang-bayangkan, kalau la ada rezeki nak pergi jalan-jalan... nak pergi mana ya?
We went to Taiping the last weekend before Ramadhan. Balqis had been asking us to bring her to hotel. She basically imagine to get to go to "hotel Terengganu" again because obviously she had so much fun when we were there. Primula Beach Resort, Kuala Terengganu has a fun slide and pool with views and a private beach for some sand play.
So anyway, since we obviously won't make a trip to Kuala Terengganu again in near future, we make a rather impromptu plan two days trip to Taiping as it is one of the nearest city and has some fun place for kids too.
We started our journey on Saturay morning to Taiping by car. The travel took around 40 minutes only from our home. We went straight to the Zoo Taiping as it was one of our main agenda for the trip.
I was reminiscing the good old study days when I took the KTM train back to Kuala Lumpur with the bed coach and all. I really think that the new ETS should just be an additional option, not to fully replace the old train. I've always wanted to bring my kids to experience the life I had before. Sad. Anyway, can you believe I have never try the ETS? The young and adventurous me might have taken the ETS for hundreds of time by now. But taking the ETS back to Kuala Lumpur is not really a good option for us since we would need a car (with safety seats) to go around town when we were there. Hence it's always best that we just drive back home.
The night before Labor day public holiday, I asked husband if he wants to bring the kids to try the KTM Komuter Northern Sector (Komuter Utara) the next day since we did not have anything planned. I knew Balqis would really love a train ride, and I wanted to give it a try too. We've never tried the KTM Komuter Utara. (Like there's so many difference with KL train kan haha). So we decided to bring the kids outing, taking the train to Butterworth and might as well visit the (not so) newly opened Penang Sentral.
