Dear friends,<br />
Welcome to another issue of <strong>Escapy</strong>, your free travel digital<br />
magazine and “Pockezine”; your magazine that is made to<br />
be read on mobile devices.<br />
In this issue we look at the arts and crafts in Selangor travelling into the creative<br />
minds of some of Malaysia’s renown artists from glass art to abstract<br />
paintings to art of lion dance. Who knows maybe in the future art could be a<br />
new category of travel just like how medical has become part of travel in the<br />
form of medical tourism.<br />
We also take a look at the indigenous tribes of Peninsular Malaysia starting<br />
with the Orang Asli Museum (Museum of the Indigenous People) and then<br />
touching a little on each of the tribes. There are a lot more information to be<br />
had but perhaps in future issues.<br />
Well my friends, I wish you plenty of travel and safe travels. Should you have<br />
any feedback do email us at info@theasianpublisher.com.<br />
Thank you for reading <strong>Escapy</strong> and have many, many wonderful adventures.<br />

National Craft Institute<br />
(Malaysia)
7<br />
For those with an artistic mind, the Institut Kraf<br />
Negara (National Craft Institute) is one of the<br />
schools to go to to enhanced one’s artistic capabilities.<br />
Malaysia is not new to crafts. For decades Malaysia<br />
has been showcasing crafts and as early as<br />
1967 training in the crafts have been introduced.<br />
> Tools for batik “chanting,“ or drawing of wax borders on<br />
cloth.
The establishing of the National Craft Institute was<br />
approved by the council of ministers in 2001 and<br />
since then students who want to major in the crafts<br />
flocked there to increase their knowledge and to<br />
gain themselves certificates and diplomas.<br />
> Batik painting of flowers.
9<br />
The National Craft Institute offers certificates and<br />
diplomas in six categories and they are batik,<br />
Weaving, Metal, Ceramics, Wood, and Rattan. The<br />
National Craft Institute also provide spaces for students<br />
to showcase and sell their creations at the<br />
grounds of the institute.<br />
> A student weaving thread.
Visiting The Institute<br />
Visitors can visit the National Craft Institute and see<br />
how some of these crafts are made. Former students<br />
who have graduated run stalls or rather huts<br />
showing how their chosen craft is made and visitors<br />
can completed masterpieces from them.<br />

Glass Art
Art comes in many forms from the creative minds<br />
of the artist through to their hands (and feet) and<br />
onto all sorts of canvases. Glass art is art made<br />
substantially or wholly out of glass from various<br />
sculptures to decoration pieces and more.<br />
> A large flower made of glass.<br />
19
The Artist<br />
Glass artists are few and in Malaysia there is one<br />
who is very famous and has a following of collectors<br />
with master pieces commanding very very high prices.<br />
He is Raja Azhar Idris who’s works can be seen<br />
adorning homes of the rich as well as public places<br />
such as the National Heart Institute (Malaysia).
Raja Azhar Idris has always loved drawing and creating<br />
art since young. He used to be a street artist<br />
before heading off to Australia and later gaining a<br />
Degree in Fine Arts at the Victorian College Of The<br />
Art in Melbourne, Australia.<br />
21
His art pieces has since been exhibited in more than<br />
20 galleries in Australia, Paris, Singapore, and Malaysia.<br />
He has also received numerous awards over<br />
the years mainly from Australia.<br />
> A large ceiling decor lamp masterpiece.
23<br />
Delicate Art<br />
Working with glass is not something easy. Creating<br />
art with glass makes it even tougher. Raja Azhar<br />
Idris has had his fair share of accidents while creating<br />
his master pieces. Getting cuts is something<br />
normal. He even had a very deep cut to his leg that<br />
almost reach his bone and needed stitches but that<br />
is all part of his passion.<br />
> Art pieces in his oven.
Art Brings Happiness<br />
Despite the injuries and sometimes, disappointments<br />
(when all the hard work put into the piece<br />
ends up being spoiled in the oven), Raja Azhar Idris<br />
loves his art. He has created many masterpieces<br />
such as called Batik On Glass, Jellyfish, and plenty<br />
more. He has even designed art pieces including<br />
dining ware for royalties.<br />
> These glass plate series was made for the royal family.
25<br />
Teaching His Art<br />
Raja Azhar Idris is one artist who is willing to share<br />
his art. He does classes for anyone interested in<br />
taking up glass art. He has classes for children and<br />
adults at a fee of course. His would like to see more<br />
glass artists in the future.<br />
> Raja Azhar Idris at one of his workstations.
The Gallery<br />
His gallery is Kacha Art Case Galleries Sdn. Bhd.<br />
where he showcases his masterpieces. It certainly<br />
is a lovely place to visit especially if one is into collecting<br />
art. Kacha Art Case Galleries Sdn. Bhd. also<br />
sells glass jewellery designed by Shareena Shahridan<br />
who is Raja Azhar Idris’s wife.<br />

Art is an expression of the creative side and<br />
some become very successful creating art. One<br />
such artist who has become famous over the years<br />
is Awang Damit Ahmad a Malaysian abstract artist<br />
the founder and owner of Pantau Iraga (Art Space).<br />
> Awang Damit Ahmad working on another masterpiece.
This soft spoken man has certainly accomplished a<br />
lot as an artist. He was once an Associate Professor<br />
at one of the local Malaysian universities (UiTM or<br />
Univesiti Teknologi Mara / Mara University of Technology)<br />
being the head of his faculty.<br />
> Ahmad Damit Awang talking about art.
33<br />
Good Value<br />
His paintings are auctioned in big auction houses<br />
the likes of Sotheby’s, and Christies. With the<br />
most expensive to date being auctioned off at<br />
RM390,000.00 of which was resold by a collector.<br />
He has collectors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia,<br />
Singapore, Malaysia, America, Canada, Germany,<br />
etc.
The Beginning...<br />
It all started in the 70s where his love for art took<br />
him around his hometown, Sabah. He learned painting<br />
with various artists then. In 1979 at about 25<br />
years of age he pursue a Diploma in Fine Arts at<br />
UiTM. He was top of his class and graduated in<br />
1983.<br />
In 1985 he completed his first art series called Essence<br />
of Culture, drawing on inspiration from his<br />
childhood and working experience, as well as that of<br />
his father; a fisherman and farmer in Sabah.
Being hungry for knowledge and wanting to go further<br />
in the world of art, Awang Damit Ahmad furthered<br />
his studies at the Catholic University of<br />
America, Washington DC in 1989, pursuing a Masters<br />
in Fine Arts. While in the USA he joined Arlington<br />
Art Group and The Capitol Hill exposing himself<br />
to various aspects of art.<br />
35
He returned to Malaysia 10 years later and worked<br />
on one of his famous series, Marista of which he<br />
completed in 2002. In 2011 he completed another<br />
famous series called Iraga. He is currently working<br />
on a new series and experiments with different sorts<br />
of materials including building materials.<br />
> An art piece inspired by his childhood.
When the Tsunami hit he started doing a painting<br />
about the tsunami. But after about three weeks he<br />
stopped for a year and just could not paint. He could<br />
not think nor could he get inspiration. Because the<br />
tsunami is a powerful force with big waves they<br />
overpower his emotions. He was also saddened by<br />
what happened. He managed to finish his painting<br />
a year later.<br />
37
These days he no longer lectures. He focuses solely<br />
on his art but he receives students from UiTM and<br />
UNIMAS (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak) at his workshop<br />
where they do research as well as their practical.><br />

Wheat Straw<br />
Art
41<br />
Artists are have the ability to create masterpieces<br />
out of almost anything and Haji mohd Yusuff<br />
Shamsudin has been creating beautiful pictures out<br />
of wheat straws for some 64 years. Now being 88<br />
years of age going 89, Haji mohd Yusuff Shamsudin<br />
is still creating art with his son, Anuar Mohd Yusuff,<br />
carrying on his legacy.<br />
> Village scene made of wheat straw.
Quality Wheat Straw<br />
While straw from any wheat, grass, jute, etc. can<br />
be used; Haji mohd Yusuff Shamsudin uses wheat<br />
straw as it is better in quality. Even wheat straws<br />
from different countries have different quality and<br />
texture. He tried using wheat straws from Bangladesh<br />
and found them unsuitable as it comes with a<br />
hard outer layer and does not stick well. The best<br />
wheat straws are from China of which he prefers.
43<br />
Hard Work<br />
Wheat straw art is hard work. Straws will first need<br />
to be boiled together with colour to infuse them with<br />
various colours. When the straws have dried he will<br />
have to slice them into different shapes and sizes,<br />
and then glue them to his canvases. It takes a lot of<br />
patience to do straw art.
Inspiration<br />
Haji Mohd Yusuff Shamsudin draws inspiration from<br />
the many places he has travelled. Most of his masterpieces<br />
are of sceneries, somewhat like a landscape<br />
photographer’s photos. His masterpieces<br />
mainly of village scenes with paddy fields, beaches,<br />
or rivers, and mountains in the background.<br />

The Making Of<br />
Lions
No this is not a motivation piece nor is it a biology<br />
paper on how lions breed. It is about a Chinese traditional<br />
dance known the world over simply as “lion<br />
dance.” Lion dance originated centuries ago in China<br />
and has been performed ever since all over the<br />
world. This dance form comes with elaborate costumes<br />
including a head (lion’s head).<br />
47
An Art Form<br />
Lion dance in its entirety is an art form. From the designing<br />
of the costumes and the various heads, to<br />
the dance steps and stunts; it is all a form of art. The<br />
lion dancers wear pants that are coordinated with<br />
the design of the lions body. The lion head is painted<br />
with various colours according to traditional dances<br />
as well as more new age colours.<br />
> A colourful lion head.
Dance And Stunts<br />
The lion dance moves or steps all tell a story. The art<br />
here is how well the story is conveyed in coordination<br />
to the music. It has thus become an international<br />
sports now known as Lion Sport (or Lion Dance Sport)<br />
where teams from around the world come together to<br />
out dance each other with various routines of which<br />
includes dangerous stunts, and to convey their story in<br />
the best possible way.<br />
49
World Renown Master<br />
In Malaysia we are blessed to have a world renown<br />
master whose team has won numerous lion dance<br />
competitions locally and internationally. This master<br />
is Master Siow. Master Siow is not only good with<br />
the dance steps, he has also done numerous things<br />
to improve the art of lion dance.<br />
>Master Siow talking about his art.
51<br />
Dance And Stunts<br />
One difficult thing to do is to learn the drums. It may<br />
look easy but as it is the main melody and rhythm<br />
of the dance routine, it is actually quite difficult. Lion<br />
dance masters around the world has been looking<br />
for ways to simplify this and Master Siow has done.<br />
Hs method of teaching is now used in many countries<br />
including China.

Reengineering The Head<br />
Another thing that Master Siow has done is to reengineer<br />
the lion’s head. Traditionally the frame of the<br />
lion heads from China are made of bamboo. Bamboo<br />
tends to break and can be dangerous as they<br />
are sharp. Master Siow decided to use lightweight<br />
aluminium for its mainframe in place of bamboo<br />
eliminating breakage. This also gives the lion head<br />
a more rigid feel of which is better.<br />
> The “skeleton” of the lion’s head. Notice the alumini<br />
um structures.<br />

57<br />
Taking The Art Seriously<br />
Master Siow’s students know how serious Master<br />
Siow takes the art of lion dance and they practise<br />
diligently. There is no fooling around as the stunts<br />
done during the dance routine are dangerous and<br />
can easily land one in the emergency room. Discipline<br />
and commitment to the art are both very important.<br />
> The “skeleton” of the lion’s head. Notice the alumini<br />
um structures.
When Can One See<br />
These Dances?<br />
One will most definitely see lion dances during the<br />
Chinese New Year celebrations. Lion dances are<br />
performed all over the place especially at various<br />
shopping malls, certain tourist areas, certain houses,<br />
etc. as it is said to bring good luck.<br />
> Jumping and leaping from pole to pole. They even fly<br />
over a few poles at once. Thrilling to watch indeed.

The “Orang Asli”<br />
(Indigenous People)<br />
Museum
The “Orang Asli” Museum or Museum of the Indigenous<br />
People in Gombak is one of those museums<br />
that few find in their tour itinerary but more<br />
tour agencies are bringing visitors there. It is a good<br />
place to discover more about the indigenous people<br />
of the Peninsular Malaysia.<br />
61
Tribes<br />
There are a total of three main tribes living in Peninsular<br />
Malaysia and they are Negrito, Senoi, and Melayu<br />
Proto (Proto Malay). Of these three tribes are<br />
many sub tribes:<br />
Negrito: Kensiu, Kintak, Lanoh, Jahai, Mendriq, and<br />
Bateq.<br />
Senoi: Temiar, Semai, Semoq Beri, Jahut, Mah Meri,<br />
and Che Wong.<br />
Proto Malay: Kuala, Kanaq, Seletar, Jakun, Semelai,<br />
and Temuan.<br />
> Ahmadmiswan Bin Sohiman (Assistant Curator) explain<br />
ing the various indigenous tribes.
63<br />
Preservation Of History<br />
Preservation of history is important and it is no different<br />
for the “Orang Asli.” It was Dr. Baharon Azhar<br />
Bin Raffie’i, the Director General of the Department<br />
of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) (1969 – 1986),<br />
who kick started the idea of preserving the history<br />
of the “Orang Asli.” It took 6 years and finally on<br />
29th of September 1987, The “Orang Asli” Museum<br />
opened its doors to the public.<br />
> Scaled model of the museum.
Tribes<br />
The “Orang Asli” Museum showcases the past way<br />
of living or rather the heritage of the “Orang Asli.” In<br />
the museum there are some information about the<br />
various “Orang Asli” tribes in Peninsular Malaysia,<br />
how they used to live, some of their tools, etc.<br />
> A contraption to pound paddy used by the indigenous<br />
people.
Also on show are some of the items used during<br />

“Orang Asli” in the days of old.<br />

Indigenous Tribes Of The<br />
Peninsular Malaysia<br />
Many of the indigenous tribes in Malaysia that used<br />
to be nomadic hunters, farmers, etc. living deep in<br />
the forests have been resettled into villages or settlements<br />
closer to modern civilization with the hopes<br />
of providing them with improved living. That said,<br />
there are quite a few of them who prefer their traditional<br />
ways of living and are unable to keep up with<br />
the modern world.<br />
Despite the efforts by the government most of these<br />
indigenous tribes continue to live way below the<br />
general poverty line.

Negrito Tribe<br />
Kensiu<br />
The Kensiu people live in the suburbs in the Baling<br />
District, in the state of Kedah and to date there<br />
is one Kensiu village in the said district of which is<br />
the Lubuk Legong Village. The Lubuk Legong Village<br />
has been equipped with electrical facilities, water<br />
supply and other infrastructures such as a Town<br />
Hall and a Children’s Counselling Centre. Their main<br />
source of income is a Rubber plantation developed<br />
by RISDA (Rubber Industry Smallholders Development<br />
Authority) in collaboration with the Department<br />
of Orang Asli Development.<br />
There are small pockets of Kensiu people living in<br />
the state of Perak and Kelantan where they share<br />
settlements and socio economic relations with another<br />
tribe called the Kintak. The Kensiu people of<br />
Malaysia are closely related to the Kensiu people of<br />
Thailand and thus cross border movements are a<br />
common thing.
The orang asli are firm believers of spirits and demons.<br />
These wood crafts depicts their beliefs.<br />
71
Kintak<br />
The Kintak people live in the suburbs of the Gerik<br />
district, Hulu Perak, in the state of Perak sharing a<br />
settlement with some from the Kensiu tribe. To date<br />
there is one Kintak Village where the Kintak people<br />
live in houses made of timber and planks, provided<br />
by the Department of Aborigines Affairs.<br />
Lanoh<br />
The Lanoh people lived in the rural parts of the Hulu<br />
Perak district, in the state of Perak. Although majority<br />
of the Lanoh people live in forests to date there<br />
are 3 Lanoh villages. The Lanoh were hunters and<br />
gatherers using the caves within the state of Perak<br />
as shelters during their hunting trips. These days<br />
they have settled down in permanent villages giving<br />
up their nomadic way of life. Charcoal drawings<br />
made by the Lanoh people can still be seen on cave<br />
walls.

Jahai<br />
The Jahai Tribe is the smallest sub tribe in the Negrito<br />
Tribe. They live in the state of Perak and in the<br />
state of Kelantan. In Perak they live at the Hulu Perak<br />
region of which is in Banun, Tiang River, and the<br />
Temenggor Dam. In Kelantan they live at Rual and<br />
Jeli River in Hulu Kelantan.<br />
Most of them live at the banks of estuaries and<br />
lakes. They build their homes using banana stems,<br />
bamboo, and leaves. Their homes are built simple<br />
as many of them still live a nomadic lifestyle as they<br />
move when there is a death, unknown diseases, and<br />
disputes within their village. They also move due to<br />
an increase in the village’s population and the need<br />
for more food or newer food sources.<br />
The Jehai are expert hunters with blowpipes and<br />
poison darts. It is said that Jehai boys enjoy spending<br />
the afternoon practising their blowpipe skill by<br />
shooting darts at tree branches.

Mendriq<br />
The Mendriq people live in the rural areas in the<br />
state of Kelantan with a village in the district of Gua<br />
Musang. They are believed to be one of the first<br />
groups of people to inhabit the Peninsula. They are<br />
mostly dark-skinned with frizzy-hair with features<br />
resembling Papua New Guinean or east African<br />
people. They are generally shorter than other Malaysians.<br />
Bateq<br />
The Bateq people live in the northern rural areas of<br />
the state of Pahang, the western side of the state of<br />
Terengganu, and the southern side of the state of<br />
Kelantan at a place called Pos Lebir. They primarily<br />
inhabit the Taman Negara National Park and they<br />
are nomadic hunters and gatherers.<br />
The Bateq language belongs to the Eastern Jahaic<br />
sub-branch of Aslian languages which is part of a<br />
wider Mon–Khmer language family with mainly oral<br />
language and few written words written in a modified<br />
Latin alphabets.<br />
To date there are seven villages in the state of Pahang<br />
with five villages in the Lipis district and two villages<br />
in Jerantut. The state of Kelantan has four villages,<br />
while the state of Terengganu has one.

Senoi Tribe<br />
Temiar<br />
The selection of housing by the Temiar Tribe is at a<br />
location determined by the headman. This is done<br />
by way of spells or dreams. Places that are to be occupied<br />
need to be away from burial grounds, free<br />
from the existence of hardwood such as the Merbau<br />
tree (Intsia bijuga). They also do not make settlements<br />
in marshy areas (water reservoirs) for fear of<br />
ghostly apparitions. The same goes for areas with<br />
waterfalls and big rivers of which are considered unsuitable<br />
for fear that the river princess (falls) that will<br />
cause disturbance to their homes.<br />
They build houses of wood (other than the hardwood)<br />
working together as a village team of builders.<br />
In the early stages of settlement, they build long<br />
houses. After living in the long houses for a seemingly<br />
long time, individual families move to other<br />
sites and built their own homes. The Temiar people<br />
support their families via farming, hunting, and<br />
searching for forest plants.

Semai<br />
The Semai Tribe lives in scattered groups around<br />
the Titiwangsa Mountain range, from the Centre of<br />
Perak (state of Perak), the south of Perak and to the<br />

change in their way of thinking and development as<br />
they mix with other communities.<br />

structured in the Coast of Southern Johor. They still<br />
depend on the sea catching fish but now using modern<br />

Going<br />
Macro<br />
At The<br />
Eco
95<br />
The Bukit Nanas (Pineapple Hill) Forest Reserve<br />
is the only green lung in the city of Kuala Lumpur.<br />
It has since been called the KL Eco Park. It is a interesting<br />
place where one can go to and do some<br />
jungle trekking or enjoy a canopy walk. We featured<br />
this park in our last issue.<br />

Take Out That Camera And Shoot<br />
There are lots of things to point one’s lens at and<br />
shoot such as birds, plants, flowers, etc. There are<br />
also little things to shoot of which is fun for macro<br />
photographers or those that enjoy shooting little<br />
things.<br />
> The canpy walk.
97<br />
Little Things<br />
Many insects call the KL Eco Park home. They hide<br />
amongst plants, leaves, wood, etc. Insects such as<br />
grasshoppers, certain bees, ants, etc. are a plenty but<br />
one will have to search them out. A keen eye is important.<br />
> A little grasshopper amongst the foliage.
Shooting Water<br />
Another interesting thing to shoot is water. Water<br />
droplets in particular. Should you visit the park in the<br />
morning, chances are pretty good that you will be<br />
able to shoot water droplets. Take note though that<br />
the trails can get a bit muddy and slippery.<br />
> Watrer droplets on a leaf in black and white.
99<br />
Shooting Flora<br />
Being an eco park plants are of course a plenty. There<br />
are ferns, mushrooms, flowers, trees, etc, that one can<br />
point one’s macro lens at and shoot.<br />
> Whilst setting up I took this test shot of some ferns.
Beginners & The Pros<br />
The KL Eco Park is a good place for beginners to<br />
practise and level their skills while the pros will find<br />
it a good place to create art. This only remaining<br />
green lung of Kuala Lumpur certainly is one of the<br />
good places for photogs to visit.<br />
> A little white Woolly Aphid walking slowly on a branch.

Things To Bring<br />
Other than your camera and gears do bring along these<br />
things:<br />
Drinking water<br />
Mosquito Repellent<br />
Waterproof bag (should it rain)<br />
Rubber trekking shoes
Do Take Note<br />
Outdoor macro photography is quite challenging especially<br />
since many of your targeted subjects are<br />
always moving. Do be patient with them and respect<br />
the natural environment. As the saying goes “take<br />
nothing but pictures and leave nothing behind but<br />
foot prints.” Happy shooting.<br />

Where to Stay<br />
Philemon Foo<br />
Sea Lion Hotel<br />
Kuala Selangor
When one mentions Kuala Selangor, the first<br />
thing that comes to most Malaysian minds is firefly.<br />
For some reason fireflies have overshadowed the<br />
history of Melawati Hill, its monkeys, the fort, etc.<br />
Probably because fireflies are a unique sort of insect<br />
that emits lights, hence the attraction.<br />
>The reception at the Sea Lion Hotel, Kuala Selangor.<br />
113
Firefly Themed Rooms<br />
One hotel that certainly stands out from the crowd of hotels<br />
there is the Sea Lion Hotel. The Sea Lion Hotel is a<br />
firefly themed boutique hotel that is tastefully decorated<br />
with art pieces, nice furnishing, and little lights on the<br />
ceiling of their rooms that mimic fireflies.<br />
>The ceiling of the rooms look like fireflies. The colours of the<br />
lights changes every few seconds.
115<br />
Room Configurations<br />
The Sea Lion Hotel has 45 rooms of various configuration<br />
from the single rooms to family rooms.<br />
The rooms are tastefully furnished with a mixture of<br />
modern and artistically classic furniture. More important<br />
are the beds that they come with. These<br />
beds are comfortable offering a good night’s rest.<br />
>Well decorated rooms.
Unique Pool<br />
Yes, they have a pool that one can play in. Unlike the<br />
usual dugout swimming pools, this pool is built on the<br />
ground and doubles as a water feature. It has a tiled<br />
seats for one to sit on and just hangout. Children will<br />
certainly enjoy playing in the pool.
117<br />
Facilities<br />
When it comes to facilities and amenities the Sea<br />
Lion Hotel comes with the general facilities offered<br />
by most hotels such as hot water shower, hair dryer,<br />
hot water dispenser (public), free wi-fi, etc. One<br />
thing that helps them standout is that they cater to<br />
the less-abled (wheelchair), something more hotels<br />
should have.<br />
>I love this chair. It is comfortable and it looks good.
Strategic Location<br />
There are a few must visit spots in Kuala Selangor such<br />
as the Melawati Hill where the Melawati fort, Altingsburg<br />
Lighthouse, silver leafed monkeys, museum, etc.<br />
are. About 5 minutes drive away from this area is one<br />
the jetties that takes visitors on eagle feeding trips during<br />
the day and firefly trips at night. All these areas are<br />
a mere five to ten minutes drive away from the Sea Lion<br />
Hotel.<br />
>Silver leafed monkey hanging out on a cannon.
119<br />
The area around the hotel has food outlets and<br />
other shops. The famous seafood restaurants are<br />
about 10 minutes drive away. If you decide not to<br />
drive and do not want to walk much, just beside the<br />
hotel is a restaurant.<br />
>Fireflies shot with slow shutter speed during the fire fly<br />
watching trip.
Personal Experience<br />
I recently visited Kuala Selangor with my family and our<br />
friends. We checked into the Sea Lion Hotel which was<br />
highly recommended by a friend, and the price suited<br />
our budget. Checking in was a breeze and they have<br />
lifts that took us to our floor.<br />
>Tasteful decor.
121<br />
When I thought I could get to the room whip out my<br />
laptop and start working, I ended up taking a nap.<br />
My mistake was lying on the bed (was supposed to<br />
be for only 5 minutes) and ended up snoozing for<br />
an hour. The bed was really comfortable and the<br />
dim firefly effect helped with the shut eye.<br />
>Our room had a balcony.
While I didn’t go into the pool I saw kids enjoying themselves<br />
in it with one parent on the deckchair asleep.<br />
With the sound of waterfalls from water flowing off the<br />
sides into a catchment of which I believe sends it to a filtration<br />
system and back into the pool; resting there must<br />
be therapeutic.<br />
> Kids having fun in the pool. The pool is deeper at the other<br />
end.
123<br />
All in all we certainly enjoyed ourselves and had<br />
a good rest. We didn’t have to rush to the sites as<br />
they were nearby. We had easy access to food and<br />
we love eating. Because of its location and facilities<br />
we had a really relaxing trip. We only wished that<br />
we had booked for a night or two longer.<br />

Philemon Foo
One of the oldest restaurants in Kuala Lumpur is<br />
the Coliseum Cafe. It is a restaurant that opened its<br />
doors in 1921 during the colonial era and this year<br />
it turned 95. It used to serve the British as well as<br />
the influential locals back in the day serving colonial<br />
Hainanese cuisine.<br />
127
With the original cafe located on the busy Tuanku<br />
Abdul Rahman Road, Coliseum Cafe is a crowd puller<br />
till this day. Very much of the facade remains the<br />
same of which is a good thing. Personally I like it as<br />
it is like walking back in time and dining back in the<br />
late 70s to the early 80s of which was already historical<br />
back then.<br />
> The bar, still remains the same as in days of old.
129<br />
Favourites<br />
Of course we do not go there just for nostalgia sake<br />
or to soak in the ambiance of an era gone by. The<br />
food there is good especially if you like Hainanese<br />
chicken chop, fish and chips, and my personal favourite;<br />
sizzling tenderloin steak. The sizzling steak<br />
is tender and juicy; bringing me back to the first<br />
steak that I ate... of which was here too. Typing this<br />
article I cannot help but salivate. YUMMY.<br />
> Famous for the Hainanese Chicken Chop.
Fruits skillfully carved. This is certainly an art.
If you visit Malaysia and have a few days to spend in<br />
Kuala Lumpur, give Coliseum Cafe a visit and enjoy the<br />
food. They do have other outlets but I personally prefer<br />
the original.<br />
