1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #665 - Crazy Grinch Xmas

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #665


- Crazy Grinch Christmas, Capitol Theatre

This is our 3rd time out during this Xmas period to catch Crazy Xmas, and it didn't disappoint - this time at the spanking new Capitol Theatre, beautifully restored. The regular cast was present but as usual, Sebastian Tan and Kumar stole the show. But this year, it was not as funny as previous years. But that Hazrul guy from Vocaluptuous can sing!

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #664 - Kedai Belacan, Es Teler and Karthik Sari cakes

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #664

- Kedai Belacan, Es Teler and Karthik Sari cakes, Bandung

Bandung's food scene is as good as people say it is, and inexpensive too. We had a terrific meal at Kedai Belacan Restaurant, with their gurame terbang at the top of our order list. And for dessert, the Es Teler Avocado/Durian has just become our best dessert, ever..that is really saying something, given all the awesome dessert choices in all the Southeast Asia countries here. We cannot go home without buying our share of the famous kueh lapis from Karthik Sari - wonderfully tasty.






1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #663 - Dago Heritage, Bandung Giri Golf Resorts, Bandung

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #663

- Dago Heritage, Bandung Giri Golf Clubs, Bandung


Here in Bandung for the first time to play in Dago Heritage and Bandung Giri Golf Resorts, with expectations of cool weather like Cameron Highlands. Well, the temp was cooler than Spore, but at 24-26C in the mornings, it was warmer than Cameron. But the views here made up for the weather - mountain backdrop and delightful flora in every hole, esp at Dago. We plan to return.
