JB Grand Paragon June 2010

Getting into JB was a breeze yesterday. Left my place at 10.55am and reached the Grand Paragon hotel at 1135am - just 40 mins instead of the usual 1.5 hr journey.

After we left the luggage at the conceige, we took a cab to Merlin tower to buy my medicine from the pharmacy and then lunch at City Square. We tried the buffet at Seoul Garden - not too bad considering that the price was almost half for the 4 of us - RM137. They actually allow a free choice of soup such as tomyam, abalone and ginseng chicken but my sons wanted the normal chicken soup. Free flow of drinks - soft drinks, coffee etc.

Shopped around and bought 2 t-shirt for my son and a t-shirt for myself. My son also bought a set of Japanese cartoon DVD.

Took a cab back to the hotel and checked into our D'Paragon room which has 4 queen sized beds. then we went for a swim. We had the whole pool to ourselves!

Breathtaking view as the pool is on the 11th floor - just 1 floor directly below us. Ian was quite exhausted after that and took a nap.

 

We went to Chez Papa for our dinner - thank God we had already made reservation as it was fully booked. We had foie gras as usual with the escargot. My sons tried a little bit of that too. They ordered Bologneise Sphagetti and we ordered roast spring chicken and steam fish. They loved the toast with butter so much that they went for second round! Went to Pelangi Plaza and bought the kueh lapis from lavendar cake shop - my son's favourite. Could not find the cable which we needed for our DVD player to the TV so we took a cab to Danga City Mall where there are quite a no. of IT shops on the 2nd level.

We went back to the hotel and watched the video as we could not get our internet connected (only managed to do so today). We decided to get some supper so we went to this hawker centre that is just behind the hotel - I think it is called Centre point hawker centre. We bought some BBQ chicken wings, satay and oyster omelete. My sons love the chicken wings - I will get some more tonight.

Breakfast in the hotel

Took a cab to Aeon Tebrau City and had lunch at Arashi Shabu Shabu. Hubby had Wagyu Rib Eye Shabu set plus oyster with Japanese Kombu Brooth and I had the Chinese herb broth with tiger prawn and scallop. We also ordered the salmon shasimi and Chris had the unagi set with rice and additional udon. Ian just wanted rice as he was still quite full from the breakfast buffet. I ordered KFC takeaway for him later. Bought some more DVDs from speedy video and also some t-shirts and shorts for Ian in Jusco. Ian also bought another car model from Toy R'us. Bought the kueh lapis again from lavendar and also some egg tarts from a portugese restaurant - their kueh will get you to come back for more!
