Trip to JB on Sunday

Last Sunday, my hubby had 2 wedding reception to attend to in Johor Bahru. Both were his colleague's weddings. It was pouring very heavily along the highway when we were on our way to the first wedding reception which was located nearby Perlin Mall.

Home-cooked food for the buffet reception

Tentage set-up for the makan

We were supposed to attend another one in Gelang Patah, but after this first one, we were already full and by then it was about 2 pm plus, so my hubby decided to pass the ang pow to another colleague who was going to that 2nd wedding reception.

And then, we went to here:

Sutera Mall - This is a very big and new 2-storey shopping complex. It is located in 五福城. According to my hubby, this estate is considered a rich people's estate, comparable to our Orchard area. Along the way and nearby the shopping mall, I saw a lot of beautiful terrace houses....

This shopping mall had a very big open car-park, free parking and it was almost full when we were there around 3 pm... I supposed there is also basement car park available too.

Some of the shops found inside were 美珍香，香味肉干，Ajisen, Secret Recipe, Carrefour, Breadtalk, Summit, Bata, boutiques , etc. There was also a trendy zones which sell those trendy and colourful clothings more suitable for those teens and youngsters...

I noticed that the crowd in this shopping mall are 90% made up of Chinese... not many Malays here, unlike the Plentong Giant or Tebrau Jusco.

As time was running short, we only grab some grocery from Carrefour, then went for desserts and coffee at Secret Recipe and then set off for home via the 2nd link.

As usual, my hubby would pump petrol at the Esso kiosk, then that was where we bought 2 packets of very delicious putu mayam (steam bee hoon to be eaten with brown sugar and coconut).

Though we were stuck in the traffic jam for about an hour, but lucky we were entertained by our tv-handphone, so could still enjoy watching the repeat telecast of the Mediacorp 45 years anniversary programme...

By 6 pm plus, we were already at home, savouring the putu mayam.
