Little Tales 251 – A Day Out Jungle Trekking and Having fun with Meals

Taman Tugu :

It was prompt by Ms Chin in April, deliberate in Might and eventually, we went there final Thursday on the first of June. 

Taman Tugu is situated close to Taman Tasik Perdana (one in all my fav parks), how come I did not find out about this place earlier than – that is a thriller. We arrived there and began our first trekking round 8.30 am and completed it after round 2.5 hrs. 

There are 5 trails in Taman Tugu and we tried 4 of them. We spent round 2 hours trekking on these trails. If you would like a straightforward path, you may attempt the blue path, if you would like an extended path, you may attempt the green-yellow-white-red trails mixed. There are tons and many excessive steps so mountaineering sticks could be an excellent plus, however additionally it is manageable with out one. 

Right here is my ninja apparel, clearly not appropriate for jungle trekking however appears cool nonetheless: 

It’s a properly deliberate, clear, and calm place, with well-designed amenities like bogs, bathe stalls, surau, and relaxation areas geared up with followers, tables, and lengthy benches. Additionally, a memento desk, if that you must purchase one thing like drinks or souvenirs, all the cash collected from the gross sales might be used to take care of the park. There’s additionally a Taman Tugu Cafe close to the doorway, however that you must drive down from the principle entrance.

I missed this. I used to do that with Af many occasions earlier than Sofi. Outing, being in nature, sweating, mountaineering, or simply strolling. We stopped doing outdoorsy issues after Sofi and the pandemic. So this was nice. I loved it a lot. 

We went there on a weekday throughout a college vacation. I requested Af to rearrange a play-date for Sofi and his buddies’ daughters that day in order that I may have a free outing day trip.

Know know at Kenny Hills :

We did not know the place to lepak to after the trekking, so Miss Chin prompt going to Kenny Hills round 7 minutes drive from Taman Tugu. So we went there, with our smelly-sweaty garments, and we stayed there for an hour or in all probability extra, simply speaking and having fun with meals. One thing I miss since changing into a hermit. 

I ordered a smoked salmon and avocado croissant and an almond milk latte:  

I used to be famished once we arrived. However truthfully, the croissant wasn’t my fav meal there, had ordered different issues higher earlier than. The smoked salmon and avocado croissant was fairly a filling meal after a 2 hours+ trekking. Protein, wholesome fat, fiber and carbs, excellent combo kan. Kahkahkah.

My brother and I already deliberate forward to increase the outing and we introduced further shirts to alter for our subsequent place. After breakfast, Miss Chin dropped us to the closest practice station, we then took a shuttle bus, practice rides, and a few walks to our subsequent location in Bukit Bintang. Be aware: We walked for nearly 10 km that day.

Pizza Mansion :

I ate my lactase tablet only for this. My brother needed to convey me to Pizza Mansion earlier than raya, and we lastly bought the time to go there. 

An excellent stroll, good pizza, and good occasions. 

It’s in the course of Bukit Bintang, simply round 10 minutes stroll from the practice station. A quaint place that provides a pleasant artisan pizza. It isn’t Halal licensed as a result of the restaurant sells alcoholic drinks, however all pizzas are stated to be made Muslim-friendly and solely use halal components for his or her meals. A fantastic place for a date or socializing with buddies. 

Once we arrived, there have been solely us and one other 2 tables of individuals eating in. So it wasn’t as crowded as we anticipated (possibly as a result of we arrived earlier than lunch hour throughout work time). Style-wise: it was good, and I do suggest going there for his or her pizza. We tried Magic Mushroom pizza – porcini + truffle cream, button mushroom, fior-di-latte, thyme, Parmigiano, and truffle oil. 

A feast after a protracted stroll !

I believe one of the best factor about this outing was discovering a devoted time to spend a while with my brother alone, as a result of we’re at that age that we do not actually spend that a lot high quality time collectively. Perhaps I also needs to do that with my youthful sister too. 

Be aware: Thanks Mi !
