It's really amazing how time flies. I still remember celebrating my 25th birthday like it was last week. Having dinner with darling, Aaron and Tau Tau at Delicious in Mid Valley. In a blink of an eye I got engaged, prepared for a wedding (still am preparing), finished my training program with Axiata, bought an apartment and will be heading for my first mission trip overseas next month.
Before I know it my 26th birthday will be around the corner; actually it already is. It is true after you pass your 21st birthday you don't really look forward to any other birthday after. It just highlight's the fact you're not getting any younger.
Speaking about birthday's yesterday was darling's mom's birthday. So she decided to take her parents out for a nice dinner at Ben's in KLCC. I honestly think it's turning into her favourite restaurant in place of Delicious. I can't blame here, the former owners of Delicious started the place. The ambience is very relaxing and the selections are quite generous.
Taste wise; hands down Ben's will grow on you after a while. I totally love their Mom's Cottage Pie, Nacho's, Beef Wagyu Pie, and their Chicken & Mushroom pie.
Yesterday we decided to try some stuff we've not had before from the menu. Darling had a Soft Shelled Crab Tortilla in the picture above. I decided t have a Gilled Pesto Chicken Sandwich on Toasted Multi Grain. Both come with a side of garden greens and home made tuber chips. I think I can add another recommendation to the menu with the Grilled Pesto Chicken Sandwich. They gave me a very generous portion of chicken breast with pesto and some beef bacon.
The Soft Shelled Crab Tortilla isn't fantastic. It smelled a little 'fishy' not sure if it's due to the crab but the taste wasn't repulsive; just edible.
Darling's parents; they've been a great source of inspiration and a blessing to me through out the years I've known them. It's an honour to be able to have their daughter's hand in marriage =).

The pride of Kuala Lumpur. The Petronas Twin Towers. Since it's lost the title of the World's Tallest building first to Taipei 101 and then Burj Al- Arab; we Malaysian's have self consoled ourselves and take pride in them being the tallest 'TWIN' Towers in the world.
The Petronas Twin Towers from the 33rd floor of the Traders Hotel.
This place is famous for their view of the twin towers and a very hard place to obtain a booking for the infamous seats with the view. Luckily I managed to snag a booking for the last spot for the night. The drinks are pretty pricey but I guess you pay for the view.
As we were up there; a storm came brewing in and the towers had some cloud cover.
So what's next on the calender? Well it would probably be the 'unconfirmed' department retreat to Langkawi in a couple of weeks. It'll be good if it was confirmed then I can add another island to my list of 'been to's' in Malaysia.
Sad to say the only island I've ever been to in Malaysia is Penang. I've never set foot in Langkawai, Pangkor, Tioman or Redang.
