In short, there were total three challenges for us to complete at the end of the day and I am quite happy when our team won the Best Mocktail Design Category in Grand Millennium KL Hotel. Let me try to make short story of what we did that day kay??
|
@feelthai - My Thai Blogger partner of the day for the challenge who gave me Bangkok guide book as souvenir. Love it! |
|
Team Malaysia for Malaysia Wonders Blogger Challenge!! |
Our gathering spot was
Einstein Cafe which hidden on top of an optical shop at Jalan Sultan. It is located around Petaling Street so if you need a daily fix with a cup of warn coffee, do drop by this place. Get the seat near the window for morning sun =)
|
Had some spaghetti and sandwiches at Einstein Cafe the other day |
|
Love their wooden bar @ Einstein Cafe |
|
Street food and souvenirs hunting @ Petaling Street |
Our first two challenges were combined together, one is to get the street food we can find at Petaling Street according to Seeties' Collection guide list and then use the rest of the money to buy souvenirs that has Malaysia's element in it. It was challenging but I guess that was the best moment for me to improve my bargaining skill with aunty boss instead of uncle shop owner. I still remember we work with other team to share the food cost so we get to buy more souvenirs later
But in the end we didn't get to win any of the above challenge because
we ain't pretty enough our bargaining skill not as good as the ladies lol!!

Spotted Daniel Wellington replica at Petaling Street |
WHen we were hunting for souvenirs, I saw many shop selling watch replica that looks alike like the genuine one. They even have Daniel Wellington in store haha. But hey, you should buy genuine Daniel Wellington from Zalora especially when you can
use "ZBAPX8H" voucher code to get 15% discount. You can easily save up to RM130 for more shopping wei.
Read more about the Zalora discount code here.
Still, if you don't mind getting replica here, make sure sharpen up your bargaining skill for a good buy in Petaling Street =) I still recommend you to try the Tau Fu Fa Soybean Custard at the intersection. It is good~

After finished the challenges under the hot sun, we then departed to
Grand Millennium KL Hotel as the pitstop of the day. Thanks Grand Millennium KL for offering us a stay and we do appreciate your comfort room =) #GMKL is located right at the centre of the city and right beside the shopping heaven Pavilion KL. Such a 'dangerous' location if you are a shopaholic haha.

Malaysia Wonders Press Conference at Grand Millennium KL- Speech by David Lim, one of the founder of Seeties |
Prize giving ceremony and press conference about Malaysia Wonders (10-13 Nov 2015) were hosted at Grand Millennium KL hotel. Wanna say congratz to all bloggers who won hotel stay by accommodation sponsors/partner =)
Grand Millennium KL had specially prepared a mocktail + teh tarik challenge for us bloggers. Furthermore, as an added value for the bloggers, our winning mocktail "Black Widow" will be incorporated into their bar menu.

We created the same cocktail that bartender showed us within minutes |
|
Then we created this awesome mocktail called 'Black Widow' - Purple to black which looks poisonous yet beautiful! |
|
@broframestone - Who did the huge stunt to amaze the crowd during Teh Tarik Challenge |

Dinner location - Serai @ Pavilion KL |
After completing all three challenges, finally it is time for us to have a good dinner at
Serai @ Pavilion KL. I like the ambience at Serai because they have this dining corner near the window with long tables and even a enclosed room for private gathering/party.

Nasi Kerabu @ Serai Pavilion KL |

My favourite dish at Serai Pavilion KL - Steamed sea bass in lime sauce |
