Tropicana Gardens Mall

First time visiting the mall. As the mall is quite new and it's MCO time, the mall is quiet. However, many shops have opened as well. Medium to high range shops. The mall itself is well decorated and with cozy ambience. Lots of yellow light used for lighting. Varieties of restaurants and cafes.Few restaurants which are on the sides have great view while dining. Washroom access are limited as of now, perhaps due to MCO. #café#hipsterbookstore#romanticrestaurant

The Strand Mall

A quiet neighbourhood mall with limited stores. The main attractions are the Cinema and Starbucks. Parking space is ample. There used to be a grocer, but it is closed down. I do not recommend this mall if you are looking for something vibrant. #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

I have heard the name of this dessert shop for a long time, but have never eaten there. It is an old shop that has been in business for more than 10 years, but the store has been renovated recently.🤩🤩 (I heard it from my sister) The decoration design is really nice to see with your own eyes! It’s perfect for taking photos and checking in! My sister comes to visit them every other month and is completely hooked😍 🍞Dreamz Bakery located in Kota Damansara is on the second floor. There is a parking space nearby. As soon as you enter, you will see a large mirror. On the left is a variety of counters. On the right, the seats filled with green plants are a good check-in point🥰 I ordered the most famous [Strawberry Cake🍓🍰] in the store and it was delicious. The cake was fluffy and soft and not greasy. There are also tiramisu desserts and some cakes that are so delicious that you can’t stop eating them. There are also staple dishes on the menu (see picture). It’s a perfect place for your wife to relax and enjoy the happiness brought by the cake. It’s also a suitable place to chat with friends.

Bird’s-eye view of Kota Damansara

This is my first hike in a while (a year maybe?) and it was fantastic. The trail is fairly easy, and only will face steeper hike 10-15 minutes before the peak, with amazing view of Kota Damansara. The whole journey will take about an hour (around 3.5km from starting point to end). There are many trails to pick, but to get on top, follow the path for Denai 3 Puteri (labelled all the way). Saw some kids as young as 4 years old so it’s not a hard one. There are three checkpoints too for those who wants to catch some breath. Overall, enjoyed the hike and the view on top. There are some nice point for pictures. What’s a hike without some pictures to commemorate such activities right? Entrance is RM2.00, and for entry point, find Kota Damansara Community Forest Reserve or SMK Seksyen 10 Kota Damansara on Google Maps. Parking is limited so if you come on weekends, be prepared to walk a little bit from parking to the entrance. #hike #hiking #kotadamansara #denaitigaputeri #forestreserve #trail #weekendhike

What’s Good in Kota Damansara?

Should’ve try the froyo at Section 6, Kota Damansara (same row with Baker’s Cottage). Much reasonable & taste likely as one of the international brand’s froyo (the cup is more bigger of course) 😏 Froyo lovers! Mark this as your next stop, have a taste & rate! Surely won’t dissappoint you with the overload sauce 😍 Uh oh. Looking for pistachio sauce haa? They got one too! Mine? Chocolate is enough 😋

Asian Fast Food Mixed Rice

Address: 5, Jalan PJU 5/12, Kota Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, Dataran Sunway. Ambiance/Facilities: As you step into Dataran Sunway, you will be greeted by a small and cozy restaurant that specializes in Asian Fast Food Mixed Rice. The restaurant has a simple and casual ambiance with clean interiors and a few tables and chairs for customers to dine in. The menu is displayed on a board above the cashier, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Highlights: If you're in the mood for some hearty and delicious Asian food, Dataran Sunway is the perfect place to go. The restaurant offers a variety of Asian dishes that you can scoop the portion of rice and vegetables yourself like a buffet style, making it a satisfying and filling meal. You will be charged accordingly. One of the highlights of the restaurant is the variety of dishes available. From classic Chinese favorites like sweet and sour chicken and stir-fried vegetables to sweet sour pork, there is something for everyone. The menu also includes dishes from other Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. What sets the Mixed Rice dishes at Dataran Sunway apart is the variety of flavors that are packed into one plate. Each dish has a distinct taste, and the combination of the flavors makes for a delicious meal. The rice is fluffy and fragrant, and the vegetables are a refreshing addition to the meal. Food Quality: I ordered the sweet and sour pork, stir-fried french beans, and ladyfingers. One thing to note is that the dishes at Dataran Sunway are on the spicier side, so if you have a low tolerance for spice, it's best to let the staff know beforehand. However, for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their food, the spiciness level was just right. Avg. Price per Person: The prices at Dataran Sunway are quite reasonable, with an average price per person of around RM15 - RM20. It’s a tad more expensive for jus a mixed rice which normally costed rm10 or less. Rating: Overall, I would give the Asian Fast Food Mixed Rice at Dataran Sunway a rating of 3.5/5. The variety of flavors and not so affordable prices make it a great option for lunch or dinner. The only downside is the limited seating, so it's best to plan ahead and be prepared to take your meal to-go during peak hours. #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip ji#awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood #foodie #本地遊 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #summervacation

Attending a Malay Wedding in Malaysia🇲🇾

This picture was taken from all my Malay friend wedding invitation @ IMAN IRIS GRAND HALL in Emporis Kota Damansara. In Malaysia, due to the multi-ethnic and religious makeup, marriages are a colourful and meaningful affair that is full of tradition and grandeur. Come as we look at the various ways each culture celebrates this celebration of love: Malay Weddings There are 3 main stages of a Malay Wedding which are the merisik (asking the hand in marriage), akad nikah (wedding solemnisation), and bersanding (wedding reception). During the merisik, traditionally the parents of the young man will visit the home of a potential bride for a friendly “investigation” into the compatibility of the couple. If everything goes well, then serious wedding discussions will take place. With everything settled, the next step is the meminang (proposal) stage and the specific details like the dowry, date and time of the actual wedding, and the wedding gifts are deliberated. The actual religious solmisation of the wedding is during the akad nikah. This is the Islamic ceremony that is required for the marriage to be considered valid. Only the immediate family will be present and the couple will present themselves before a juru nikah (Muslim wedding official) who will provide a brief sermon on the rights and responsibilities as a married couple from the Islamic perspective. The marriage registration and certification will be finalised then. A few days before the bersanding, the couple will undergo a henna ceremony (berinai) which signifies blessing and protection from evil. The wedding reception will then take place which starts off with the groom walking with his entourage which consists of decorative flower bearers with kompang (Malay hand-held percussions) beats resounding in the air as they journey to the bride’s home. A pencak silat (Malay martial arts) performance is done for the groom’s party as a sign of welcome and respect. The bride and bridegroom (who are known as Raja Sehari or Royalty for the Day) are then sat together on a platform (pelamin); the couple are then sprinkled with rose-scented water, henna, sandalwood paste, and rice flour paste to signify their union publically. The newly-married couple will then join their guests for lunch, and the usual entertainment are karaoke and joget (Malay dance) sessions. What to Wear? The bride and groom are usually dressed in their traditional Malay garb which is a baju Melayu for the groom and usually a baju kurung or baju kebaya for the bride. They will be elaborately dressed to signify them as royalty for the day. For guests, if the reception is done in a kampong, (village) it can be quite warm as it is usually held in a community hall or outdoor void decks thus semi-formal dressing is fine like a short-sleeved or a batik shirt with long pants for men, and baju kurung or anything that is decent and conservative for women. If the reception is done in a hotel however, then formal dressing is expected.

Park28 boutique park dining restaurant at Kota Damansara is a lovely place to eat and chill. Food is superb with very good service. Big and spacious with ample parking. Very near to IKEA and The Curve. After shopping there you can just drive over which is only 5 mins drive. There are indoor and outdoor options so we chose outdoor as we brought our puppy along on New Year Day. The restaurant opens its door from 12 noon to 11pm daily with live band on Fridays and Saturdays.
