The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey

First stop is Dim Sum at Jiah Xiang at Plaza Sentosa. Dim sum is not bad and relatively affordable. Love the stir fried carrot cake. After that, we dropped by Mid Valley Southkey. The mall is well-decorated with christmas decor and there are few photo spots for you to take pictures and soak in the Christmas vibe. Took a little break after shopping at the mall and went to eat Penang Chendol. The Chendol taste slightly different from Singapore due to the milk. Went for manicure and pedicure after this for some self care session. #jb #malaysiatrip
