My weekend in Dresden,Germany

My weekend starts with a heavy breakfast...

This is what i have daily for breakfast. It's only during weekend i get to enjoy the breakfast, more time spent....

Before headed to window shop, i had a short rest & relax at hotel lobby...



Then, there i go, to town area to all the shopping malls. Went to Centrum, Karstad & Altmarkt...3 of this shopping mall are just walking distance...And huge crowd as we get warmer in shopping malls & most importantly for ladies, it's big sales now for winter clothing..till 70% discount...for myself, i bought a nice vest from Zara..

Centrum Shopping mall considering quite new, when i was there, there were live band with profesional musicians walking from floors to floors...A huge crowd were looking & enjoying it...
See the big crowd...


Some old model car,


Creative mugs


Cutie kangaroo dolls...


According to my friend here, he said the banana imported here have certain requirement where the length has certain standard to follow..all are huge..
It's different from Msia that you'll find different sizes of banana...
It's juz something to share with you all...I questioned this as normally during bfast at hotel, they do provide fruits & normally i'll see huge size banana...

I bought a Movenpick Latte Machiato drink, it was quite nice..

After a long window shop around the shopping malls, I went to try a Vietnamese style dish for dinner..
It was quite nice..nice food with reasonable price..There i go, i tried the Crispy Duck dish..

My friend tried this Pork dish..quite good too...

This cafe is near Altmarkt Galerie..it's on the way towards tram station-Postplatz..

2nd trip to Germany

Again, it was a tiring day for me after a long flight from Penang to Spore to Frankfurt & finally Dresden. Almost 21 hours altogether.
This time, my feeling was really cold, freezing...We arrived at 11.30am & straight to hotel to check-in. However, there’s no room at that moment. There'll be available room after another 2 hours. Thus, we have to walk to the nearest coffeeshop, my usual asian food, called ‘Flinke Pfanne’ to have lunch.Haha..i ordered my favourite Crispy Duck, or we called it Peking Duck....yum yum...


Then, i dropped by to the supermarket nearby, it was under renovation & things get less there. Anyway, i just want to get a mineral water bottle.
Before headed back to hotel, i had a walk near a park at Stauffenbergallee. Weather was around 1deg C, still OK for me.


Then, a 5 mins walk to Holiday Inn. Immediately, i got my room & had a nice warm bath. Rest & relax time...it was still not enough for me to get a good rest...It was too cold for me to go out for dinner on the 1st night. I was too tired & sleepy & having flu..hmmm...1st day was terrible...
I felt better after a few days. However, i was too lazy to go out as weather was cold, it was -7deg C. So, the nearest restaurant was Stephen Restaurant at Holiday Inn itself. I had a great dinner, i had Fish this time, i ordered Fried Salmon, but there weren’t salmon anymore..It was Mackerel i guess. The waitress did told me, but due to language issue, i did not get what she said. The important thing is it was a nice meal after all.

I ordered a Banana Juice(called Bananensaft); and i like it though...


You can enjoy the liquor there as well...

For those christian, on the very 1st day of X'mas, they will go to churches for celebration.
For us, we chose to go for a healthy activity, we go fro Muka Head hike..

Though we slept late the day before, we managed to wake up & make our way to Teluk Bahang early in the morning by 8am..


After walking for an hr, we stop by a hut & took some pics..
Then, we continue our journey...


We reached the 1st stop beach..happily doing star jump...

Nice view...

Finally, after playing lotsa activity, we took a boat back...
Yes,i did it....Time to go back now...

Xmas Eve at HRH


We headed to HRH after our luxurious dinner for the countdown...

They have liveband there & lotsa ppl were dancing, singing & going crazy abt it...

Nice X'mas deco at the lobby....the lighting, and the colour combination is so attractive..haha, guess what we spend almost half an hour just at the lobby entrance, taking so many shots on the HRH lights which kept changing color, and the deco beside the entrance....


Then,we headed inside the lobby & saw the Beatles faces with the beautifully tiled structure..and there we go, we pose against it....

Next, headed to the swimming pool side...


We walked to the other side of the pool...

Decent look...


Cranky looks...


I'm so satisfied with this nite view i've taken...it's sharp & clear...:)

Before headed back, we took tis HRH trademark...


Models in action....haha ;)

X'mas Eve Celebration 2009

I had a great dinner at Fantasy, Batu Ferringhi with my friends.


I ordered Salmon Steak & Mango Juice..Whilst ordering the Salmon Steak, my friend highly recommended me to ask the chef to cook 70/80 for me...and yes, I can tell you, it's mouth-watering, so so delicious..It does maintain the freshness of the salmon meat, the moist & the tenderness of it...look at the pics below..



Mango Juice- authentic mango flavour; full of the mango flakes...



The boss do gives us complimentary oyster dish for all of us..This is a bonus for us, where this is how it attracts us to come again..a lot of ppl now looking for good services...

The Chef came out & approach us, he gives good packages coursemeal for 8-10pax. We can consider to go if we have functions to celebrate...The ambience was good too...however, bear in mind it's not air-conditioned...
Yes, we managed to capture a photo with the chef....
