Today, I went for dim sum with my friends. But before I left, I made sure the following items for Bryan
Food-wise
Breastfed Bryan first
Steamed carrot for him to chew (to be inserted into the Munchkin baby feeder)
Showed LK which bottle of [...]
This trip has been fairly laid back because it is the first time we took Bryan on a holiday. There are plenty of rest in between so that Bryan can nap. Then again, we have been to these 2 places many many times, so no regrets.
When Bryan is older, we will probably squeeze in more [...]
What better way to start the day than breakfast at the tea plantation. My favourite is the Boh Bharat Plantation tea house. Wanted to order their masala chai but no stock. So settled for strawberry tea instead. LK and my parents had sandwiches and me…scones again.

Hot tea and scones.
After having scones at Old Smokehouse, [...]
Since it was a windy road uphill, we kept Bryan strapped to his car seat. So he did not sleep at all during the 1.5 hr journey. When we arrive and check into the hotel, he fell asleep almost immediately, after getting his milk.

The garden below our hotel room.

All we did in Ipoh was to go to different places to eat. And all poor Bryan get to do is stare at our food.
Day 1: LK wanted to have the “cheong” satay at Kong Heng and I wanted the egg custard. We arrived there shortly after 1pm, and they are all sold [...]
We stayed at Heritage Ipoh…which is smack right in the middle of the Ipoh town. It is a regular business hotel..nothing much to brag about.
Admiring the carps outside the hotel’s restaurant.
Getting a sip of water after a tired day out.
“Mommy & daddy, why are we still here…let’s go explore the city….”
Getting Bryan to sit in his car seat during the journey turned out to be a major challenge. I prepared a bag filled with his toys, rattles, and teethers to keep him occupied. I even keep his teethers in my cooler bag so that they are nice and cold. Bryan likes to chew on [...]
Tomoro morning, we’ll be taking Bryan on his first holiday @ Ipoh and Cameron Highlands… I will be taking my lap top along and will take notes of our adventures along the way. Of course, there’ll be lotsa photos when we’re back.
