Staycation @ Citizen M Bukit Bintang

Assalamualaikum.

Last weekend we had an impromptu staycation dekat kl. My husband was definitely puzzled when I told him that we are going for a weekend getaway. Seperti biasa, I memang suka plan last minit haha. Mula mula ingat nak pi area PD sebab nak bawak icha mandi laut, but sadly hotel cantik cantik semua dah fully booked. So I google for a hotel somewhere dekat centre KL, and I found few choices.

And we went to Citizen M, Bukit Bintang...

Location wise, strategic amat. Belakang hotel ada eatery yang famous dekat tiktok sekarang which is Jalan Alor. But we didn't eat there lah. We tapao food area bukit bintang and makan dalam bilik. Oh we tried the famous Nasi Ayam Chee Meng jugak. But sadly below our expectation. Plus harga dia mahal ya. I beli sebungkus and it cost me RM12.20. Terkejut masa nak bayo😅

Oh kejap...

Sebenarnya I nak share room photos here. Sebelum I melalut panjang, moh le kite kembali ke pangkal jalan.

Room size

 

Definitely small. Room dia sejenis u bukak pintu bilik terus nampak katil like photo above yang I attached. If u ada anak kecik, memang tak sesuai lah. Sebab ruang memang smol je. Last weekend during the stay I ambik 2 bilik. Icha share room with bucik. So memang selesa for us yang sejenis suka lepak bilik hehe.

View bilik bila bukak curtain. Rasa luas terus. Pandai yang buat interior bilik ni. Anyway nak tidur malam pun i bukak sikit curtain. I rasa suffocate bila tutup habis. Maybe due the room size kut. But the mattress and the pillow was super comfy. Husband i sampai nak belikan bantal hotel ni untuk i sebab i sejenis cerewet dengan bantal 😄

Facilities

The bomb.com. High tech punya room ya. All controlled with an iPad. Siap ada lampu disco tu eh (lupa nak take photos). Icha amazed betul with everything. Si kecik tu siap termenung dalam tandas tenung lampu yang bertukar. Kelakor amat. Masa kami nak keluar kejap petang tu siap berdrama takmau tinggal bilik 😖 Ibu dok ingat icha tak suka hotel ni sebab takda swimming pool.. turns out she loves it.

Amenities provided.

Basuh tangan, gosok gigi, basuh muka all here sebab dalam tandas takda cermin or sinki. I guess since they wanted to maximise the space, they place it here. bukak pintu terus nampak the sink.

this one is bahagian tandas. 2 partition, one for business purpose

another side is for another business purpose. hehe. 

Oh ya, tandas dia a bit see thru oki. Kalau u sejenis segan orangnya, jangan risau sebab they provide curtain to divide between the toilet area and also katil. 

Iron pun di sediakan by the hotel. Since the hotel room size is a bit small, they provide one iron room for all the guests. I bagi plus point here sebab they provide us with steam iron!! hehehe yay! so easy nak iron baju.

DID YOU GUYS KNOW THAT THE TV GOT A CHROME CAST FEATURE? MASHAALLAH SUPER BEST YA. We got to layan horror movie at night lepastu bangun pagi i sambung layan my kdrama. Best stay ever 😜

I belanja some of the hotel interior below oki?

The checkout process was easy as well. Letak je our room card, then bila all clear terus auto-checkout. Paling best the room card boleh bawak balik. Next time dtg u can use the same card. Best kan? 

I guess, there will be next time inshaAllah. both of our parents were excited when we told them about the high tech room. They were amazed when I told them the price is only for RM130/night hehehehe. You guys should come too! Parking freeeeeee 😚

p/s: we did some kimchi hunting at night with my sister's scooter. Best amat strolling around bukit bintang area.

Assalamualaikum.

December last year (macamkan lama sangat kan 😝) we went to this restaurant for early birthday celebration for tokwan and icha. Since that was the only time yang ok, we decide to celebrate their advance birthday. Birthday tokwan dengan icha pun selang sehari je (18 & 19/1), so ayuhle sambut sekali senang hehe

 🎈HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOKWAN & ICHA! 🎈

Selamat 57 tahun dan 3 tahun! 

We came on 25th which was on Christmas day.

Masa ni tak register in mind yang café mesti full with customers. We walked there confidently dengan perasaan mesti ada meja. 

Guess what? Sampai sana penuhhhhh with customers. Husband tanya ada buat booking tak, I geleng nervously. 😂 Adoi.. so I bravely asked the worker is there any possibility to squeeze us in?  He asked me back whether we can finish eating by 8 pm? I tengok jam ada lagi sejam for us to order and eat. We agreed and he let us in. nasib baik. I insisted nak dine in there sebab we got RM400 vouchers. Kalau idak, maybe kitorang makan mamak je that day. Haha.

We got our seat, the waiter gave us the menu. Rambang mata nak choose sebab the menu selection banyakkkk. Hehe.

Jum I share gambar makanan on that day 😊

The Bo+Co truflle friens RM 28

Ni adalah entree. we bought this one for the sake nak cukupkan the voucher amount. Ok lah, nothing special. hehehe.

The Gentlemen pizza RM 41

Since this is the first few to arrive, everyone taste it. sedap.. but i prefer it to be cheesier lah. the more the merrier (i talk about the cheese! haha) sebab i hantu cheese. but this one okay dah sebenarnya 😊

Churros Donut stack RM 19

Wei! this is too goodddddddd! i suka gila. berebut kitorang makan. churros dia lembut ya rabbi. im not lying. filled with cream in the middle. memang puas hati order this one. semua sukaaaaa! my mom even ate the cream alone sebab all the churros dah gone hehe. if my mom like it, i can say memang sedap rasa dia.

Banana crumble RM 23

Everyone loves it. Usually i heard about apple crumble, never banana. So we thought nak cuba lah makan. Nasib memang sedap, definitely to our liking!

Christmas edition RM198 (menu ni ada on christmas eve je)

This two plate dalam gambar above comes together. MashaAllah portion dia memang besar ya. Tak habis makan sebab ordered way too much haha. But sedaplah.. turkey tu dia stuff with veggies and everything, so its not too dry. Lamb to dia masak medium rare, memang husband i tersenyum kesukaan sebab thats his fav.

Prawn and Mussel Bucatini RM49

Ni memang sedap ya. At first adik i ordered for herself. i tak pick this one sebab dia tak tulis carbonara haha. SO bila menu ni sampai, adik i bagi icha rasa sikit.. Once icha dah rasa, she loves it. So instantly this plate become hers 😂 i rasa a bit, and i like it. not to cheesy and tak muak langsung makan.

The Ultimate Steak Sandwich RM 38

But tak sempat jamah ya, tapao bawak balik. because everyone were too full on that night hehe. Bila makan on the next day dah tak sedap sangat, so i think u need to eat it on the same day, if not rugi like us 😢

Hainanese chickne rice RM 37

This one my dad yang pilih. He said everything on the plate were sedap. My dad gives everyone rasa, and everyone kata sedap. Adik I siap berjoget sebab ayam dia lembut dan sedap okay?!! Haha.

Watermelon lychee mint RM 17

The only drink yang we ambik that night. Okay lah, sedap. everyone berebut nak rasa air ni haha.

The waiter served us well that night. apa yang direquest semua dapat. Air masak dekat sini free flow ya, if dah habis just call the waiter and they will refill your glass. 

I request nak letak lilin atas dessert sebab nak celebrate birthday kan.. They did extraaaa guys. siap pasang lagu and sang along the birthday song. love it!

This restaurant memang cosy for lepak and chill with family and friends

The price wise pulak for me a bit expensive except for the churros stack!

The waiters were all helpful during our visits

Makanan pulak all were sedap and good! presentation pun cantikkkk 😻

Maybe because it was Christmas day, they put and lit the firework candle on this plate weh. Tergamam icha tengok bunga api sedekat itu hehe.  Maka we repeat the birthday song again! If you see this video sampai hujung, you can see icha gigih nak tiup the firework candle bagi terpadam. Kelako wehhhh haha. Terpejam pejam matanya demi nak padamkan api tu.

p/s: luckily we came a bit early, dapatlah masuk and makan. On the way keluar dari kedai, beratur panjang orang nak masuk. fuh.
