A facinating walk in natute experience! 🌿
#hikingtrails#100waysoftravel
Shah Alam Community Forest Trail is a popular hiking spot for local community, this forest trail offers not only great walking trails but also very nice view of the surroundings areas such as Peak Garden, Mirror Lake & Bukit Sapu Tangan.
Recently joined my local friends to hikes at the Shah Alam Community Forest Trail, we starting from the trail head, the well-marked paths guided me through a diverse range of flora and fauna. The verdant surroundings provided a refreshing escape from the urban landscape. The Mirror Lake and Peak Garden are among the highlights in this forest trail, many hikers resting there and take nice photos.
🌿 Do remember to bring sufficient water and light snacks at it will require you to spend at least 4.5 hours.

New favourite Place for Latte
#malaysiatrip
Totally loving this place the first time I came here! My friend brought me this place and I never expect such delightful and lovely ambience!
Moreover, the hot latte that I ordered was amazing! The staff recommended me the right choice of beans after I mentioned my preference ones.
My friend also ordered peach strudel and gave me a WOW factor as the pastry is so flaky and crispy!

Free with guide! Blue Mosque in Malaysia🇲🇾
#FreeHongKongAirTickets
The Blue Mosque is becoming a standard spot in Malaysia! It is located about 30 minutes by taxi from the center of Kuala Lumpur. There is no admission fee and a Japanese guide will guide you carefully. 🥹🥹🥹🙏 Since women are prohibited from exposing themselves, you can borrow a blue robe and scarf 🧕 (of course, it is free). This blue robe is perfect for the Blue Mosque and is very cute. The interior of the building has marble floors, glass ceilings, stained glass, and architecture lovers will especially enjoy it. I went on a Sunday, but there were not many people and it was easy to see! The building is not free to enter, but a guide will guide you, and you will be in a group, so you will start as soon as the number of people gather. The tour will take about an hour and a half, so make sure you plan with plenty of time! 📍The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah MosqueAddress: Persiaran Masjid, Sekysen 14, 40000 Shah Alam, SelangorAccess: It's a little difficult to get to, so I definitely recommend taking a taxi! 30 minutes by taxi from the center of Kuala Lumpur (use the taxi app, grab)Cost: FreeRecommended points: There is a funny old man who is a Japanese guide🙆⚠Caution: The guide is about an hour and a half! It starts after the number of people has gathered, so make sure you have plenty of time!

Mid Autumn Festival
#malaysia
It's Mid Autumn festival period where people start buying moon cakes for enjoyment or for gifts. We happened to pass by the one at city square mall and was in love with the lanterns set up all over together with the cute rabbits on stage. As mentioned I love stage overseas because of the huge land space.
There are many bakeries that set up a booth here, where you can try the moon cakes as well as try them.
We even saw one booth selling lanterns for kids or big kids and a booth selling sanrio themed moon cakes.
What is your favourite moon cake?

Chateraise Johor Bahru
#malaysia
Chateraise is a patisserie from Japan located all around the world.
We do have a few outlets in Singapore however none of them come as close in extensiveness because most of them are not with drinks menu or a huge area with seats and table. (Some of the Singapore outlets has 2-3 tables for a quick bite.)
So we were very excited when saw a cafe styled Chaterais because we wanted to take a break.
We tried cakes and some drinks with a cake. Note that the price in Malaysia or the same in Singapore.
