Guests from PHX

Since we moved in to the new office, I have been very busy (that of cos again justify the reason why i was missing in action in this blogger's world). First was to unpack and re-organize all our stuffs. Then we have a couple of visitors coming from PHX - everyone wants to come visit the new place! A lot of meetings, conference calls, briefings and trainings, all at the same time. I never really get to sit in my own cube for more than 2 hours.

Cindy was here last week and it was the first time she has gone out of US, hence obviously she never been to this side of the world before. She was quite anxious about the food that is available here, cos most importantly, she cant eat any spicy food. Knowing Malaysia has a lot of authentic cuisines, she actually thought that she would have to eat peanut butter jelly sandwich for the whole trip in KL (Yes, fyi, she brought it with her all the way from US). Haha, that is so cute of her.

Being a true and nice Malaysian, i assured her of the varieties of "safe" food that she can get here. We have a wide selections of American or western food such as pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, steaks, burgers, etc, just name it and we can definitely figure out something.

So below are a couple of shots that we took @ KLCC before our team dinner in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The food there was ok, but the service was magnificient. They even pulled out the chair for me whenever i came back from the buffet bar. And they always have my napkin folded after i left the table and laid it nicely on my lap when i was seated. This is really a big thumbs up!

Siva, PY, Cindy, Jane and John.

It has been a while since i last went to the KLCC park tho it hasnt changed much. The fountain, the crowds, the birds - it is good to relax abit and get away from the computer screen.

Night view from the KLCC park. Nice...

Albeit being cautious and picky of the food she ate, Cindy bought a box of mooncakes for her family back home in PHX. How "sweet"! :)

Here are some of the pics taken during one of our lunches in Dave's Pizza Pasta Vino, 1U. The pizzas and pastas served are delicious, especially those who likes thin crust pizza. But, it is huge! Check it out.


Olive oil pasta (forgot the exact name).

Hope she has no problems with the mooncake. I actually got ill from eating those once. My wife said I ate too much. hehe. But it put me in bed for two days. Think I was affected by the pork lard used in that mooncake.

You can send me all the spicey food she did not want though. :P
