Supertree Grove

As I predicted, the perfect blue sky today ended with a magical sunset. I headed to Supertree Grove to catch the beautiful afterglow of dusk. Not Marina Bay Singapore but Dong Zen in Jenjarom. The Buddhist landmark is once again transformed into an illuminated garden for the Lunar New Year, attracting thousands of visitors.

This little stranger was jumping in front of the camera with her Minion balloon. Since I was working with a slow shutter speed, I asked if she could slow down a bit for the camera. She graciously agreed and stood totally still instead, striking her little tourist pose.

Banting’s Best Kept Secret

Drove into little Banting town after visiting Carey Island the other day. Settled on a nondescript restaurant named The Chaiwalla and wasn’t expecting much. Ordered their Homemade Mushroom Soup and it turned out surprisingly good.

Tried their Grilled Dory Fish next and it was excellent. Then came the Beef Stew, Seafood Marinara Pasta and Hainanese Chicken Chop. Every dish was consistently delicious, which is rare in many places. Upon inquiry, the waiter told us that the chef used to work at La Bodega Bangsar. Compliments to the Chef!

Shown in picture is their juicy grilled fish (which I cut up), served with a dash of lemon juice and a heap of tangy coleslaw.

The Chaiwalla Restaurant is at 7 & 9 Jalan Cemerlang 4, Pusat Perdagangan Banting, 42700 Banting, Selangor (opposite McDonald’s Banting). Tel: 03 3180 4861 (www.thechaiwallarestaurant.com)
