The Sweetness of Blogging

Posted on the December 22nd, 2008 under Blog by papabear

Blogging is sweet when other bloggers acknowledge us. Blogging is sweet when we received some awards. Blogging is sweet when we have tags assigned to us. So, for those sweet bloggers who made this blog sweeter than ever, I am now answering tags and accepting the awards that you have given.

Cautions! Long post ahead!

A Special Post

Terima Kasih Untuk Kisah Beruang: This is a thank you post from KongsiBlog.com. A blog that goes around with a “Aku Bukan Seorang Artis Malaysia” (I am not a Malaysian artist) tagline. A very catchy tagline indeed.

Anyway., that’s his way of saying thank you for my visits and my help (I honestly could not remember how have I helped him). So, for that sweet effort, I am mentioning his post here as an honor that was well given and received. Thank you!

A Ball with Nuffnang & Friso

Posted on the December 2nd, 2008 under Family & Friends,Out and About by papabear

We had a ball at the Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out at Kizsports & Gym, One Utama Shopping Centre last Saturday, 29th November 2008. That was the first time for us attending such a big event with our son, Pasha. We were wondering how he would bring himself among the other adults and children but it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable time in his life as well as for us.

Before we go on to the post, we would like to thank Nuffnang and Friso for making this event a blast. We would also like to thank Kizsports & Gym for the great place and friendly staffs. We did not get the chance to chit chat or mingle with other bloggers as we had been too busy chasing after our son. However, it was nice when we met Lankapo and family as well as Gartblue and family there! We would also like to congratulate Sawanila for winning the grand prize!

Cautions! This post is full of pictures! Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned…

Right after the registration,  Pasha had to change into his Nuffnang Friso t-shirt and then we had a family photo shoot at the entrance. That marked the beginning of a great time ahead!

Speaking about having a ball, Pasha was really having lots of fun with those colorful balls that they had over there.

There was something about those balls that made children go crazy! Here are more pictures at the colorful balls area.

Sari Ratu Kelana Jaya

Posted on the November 29th, 2008 under Food & Health,Out and About by papabear

November 22, 2008

Suddenly we felt the craving for nasi padang and the first place that came to mind was the Sari Ratu restaurant in Kelana Jaya. Right after Pasha woke up from his afternoon nap, the three of us headed over to the restaurant. It was almost empty when we got there as it was already past 2pm. That’s good!

Below are the food and drink that Mama Diah ordered. By the way, they somehow do not serve nasi padang the way they serve it back in Indonesia. It is more like having nasi campur or nasi kandar here where we just order what we want unlike the real nasi padang where they would just put everything on the table and you just eat whatever you want to eat and leave the rest untouched.

From left to right, ayam bakar, which is Mama Diah’s favorite chicken dish, gulai nangka (jack fruit), gulai telur (egg), chicken soup, which is meant for Pasha, sambal merah and a glass of honey dew juice.

Now these are what Papa Bear ordered.

From left to right, gulai pucuk ubi, udang petai (prawns), ayam pop and a glass of honey lemon. The ayam pop was not as good as the one that we always had in Jakarta or Dumai but considering that this is the only place that sells it, it was better than nothing…

Two pictures of Mama Diah and Pasha eating. Nowadays Pasha would not want to seat in the baby chair anymore. He prefers to sit on our lap. The third picture is Papa Bear and Pasha at the cashier and the last picture showing the missing “D” on the word “RESERVED” on the parking sign. With such good food, who cares about the missing “D” anyway…

That’s what you get when you feed your child properly. Pasha trying out Mama Diah newly bought sunglasses while on the way to Sunway Pyramid after a great lunch!

So, if you miss or want to try a decent nasi padang, that is the closest to what you can get in Indonesia, head over to Sari Ratu.
