Ramadan Media Preview & CSR Event at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour

The holy month of Ramadan is a time for reflection, prayer, and community. It is also a time for families and friends to gather and break their fast with delicious food. In preparation for the month of Ramadan, Fraser Place Puteri Harbour hosted a media preview and CSR event at Swatches to showcase their Ramadan buffet.

Attendees were treated to a taste of the food that will be available at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour’s Ramadan buffet. The menu featured popular Malay dishes such as Sate Ayam & Daging, Pucuk Paku Gulai Keledek, Ketupat & Lemang, as well as Kambing & Ayam Golek. The dishes were delicious and reflected the flavors of traditional Malay cuisine. Malaysians’ favourite fruit, Durian, was also available!

In addition to showcasing their menu, Fraser Place Puteri Harbour also organized a CSR event during the media preview. While we won’t go into detail about the CSR initiative, it was heartening to see a hotel take a proactive approach to giving back to the community.

The event was held at Swatches, which is located on the ground floor of Fraser Place Puteri Harbour. The restaurant’s cozy atmosphere provided a comfortable setting for attendees to mingle and network while enjoying the food.

Overall, the Ramadan Buffet Media Preview & CSR Event at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour was a success. The hotel’s commitment to providing delicious food and giving back to the community was evident throughout the event. We look forward to seeing what else Fraser Place Puteri Harbour has in store for Ramadan.

Our Family Hiking Experience at Bukit Besi

We recently went on a hiking trip with our preschooler to Bukit Besi, and it was an incredible experience that we will cherish forever. Though we did not hike until the summit, it was still an amazing adventure that we thoroughly enjoyed.

The trail starts with an uphill walk via the paved road

Using the AllTrails app to navigate, we set out on our hike with our little one, eager to explore the beautiful surroundings. Initially, we were unable to find the trail using Komoot app, so we were grateful to have the AllTrails app to guide us.

Once you reach here, turn left to the forest trail!

As we made our way through the lush green forests, we were constantly amazed by the stunning scenery that surrounded us. Our son was thrilled to be outdoors and kept pointing out various plants, animals and insects that he saw along the way.

The trail was nice ❤️

Hiking with a clear sky 🌌

Though we did not hike until the summit, we found several viewpoints that offered breathtaking views of the city. The vistas were simply breathtaking, and we took several breaks to sit and admire the scenery.

One of the things that we appreciated most about the hike was the fact that it was not too challenging for our little one. While there were some parts that require using rope due to many rocks and the top part of the hike seemed to be a bit too challenging for preschoolers, there were still plenty of areas that were perfect for families with young children. However, do bear in mind that our preschooler has went for hiking since he was 2.5 years old, so I wouldn’t say it is a good place to bring if your little one is a beginner, but a good one if she already has some experience.

Pure happiness 🥰

Overall, we had an incredible experience hiking at Bukit Besi with our preschooler. The trail was easy to follow with the help of the AllTrails app, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. We highly recommend this hiking trail to anyone looking for a fun and family-friendly outdoor adventure.

A Fun and Educational Trip to Petrosains with Our Preschooler

We recently took a trip to Petrosains with our preschooler and had a blast! The interactive exhibits and activities made for a fun and educational experience for both our son and us.

One of our favorite exhibits was the Energy Capsule, which took us on a virtual journey through the various forms of energy and how they power our world. We were able to ride the capsule and watch the informative video presentation and throughout our ride.

Another exhibit we enjoyed was the Origami Apprentice, where we got to try our hand at creating origami shapes. There were no assisting staff, but we had fun experimenting with the paper and creating our own designs.

The Wind Table was also a highlight, with a wind machine that flew papers in the shape of cones. It was amazing to see the papers take flight and our son was thrilled to see the wind in action.

Finally, we were transported back in time with the Geotime Diorama exhibit, which showcased the geological history of Malaysia. The exhibit was informative and visually stunning, with lifelike displays of ancient creatures and landscapes.

Overall, our trip to Petrosains was a wonderful family experience. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and educational day out with their children.

Campsite Review: Colina Camping & Glamping by Le Quadri Hotel KL

We recently had the opportunity to experience Colina Camping & Glamping by Le Quadri Hotel KL, and we have to say, we were thoroughly impressed.

Among the arts our preschooler did to entertain himself

We stayed in a rented camping tent, which was comfortable and cozy. Unfortunately, it rained during our stay. We didn’t have the chance to cook our own food as planned, but the pre-cooked meals based on the menu we chose were delicious and satisfying.

One of the highlights of our stay was the small field located within the camping site, which was perfect for playing football with the kids. It was an excellent way to keep the little ones entertained while we enjoyed the serene surroundings.

In the morning, we were provided with breakfast based on the menu we had chosen. The breakfast was filling and delicious, and it was a great way to start our day before heading out for further adventures.

Although we didn’t have the chance to explore all the amenities, we appreciated the efforts made by the staff to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Overall, we would highly recommend Colina Camping & Glamping by Le Quadri Hotel KL for families looking for an immersive outdoor experience without sacrificing comfort and convenience.

One of the standout features of the hotel is its mini library, which is a treasure trove of books for all ages. As a book lover herself, Shafa was thrilled to see such a well-curated selection of books. The cozy seating areas make it the perfect spot to curl up with a good book and spend a lazy afternoon. We appreciated the effort put into creating a space that promotes reading and education, and we can imagine families with children would also enjoy spending time in the library together.
