Another fun-tastic time @ Crowne Plaza KL
We came to KL on the 12th of March and spent the first 2 nights at Crowne Plaza again. Initially we have wanted to stay in Shangri-La but found that it is not as convenient as Crowne Plaza (both KLCC and Pavalion are just walking distance away). We had such a great time a few weeks back and again the person who enjoyed the short vacation stay most is of course Darrius lar!

This time I remembered to bring more toys for the Lil’ fella so both PiggyBeng and myself can have some peace while the Lil’ fella entertained himself in the bathtub. Thanks to this mommy who gave Darrius some erasable crayons on his birthday which can be used even in the tub! Darrius was having such great time scribbling on the tub but mommy had a hard time cleaning the it after that!

With the crayons I can at least watch some TV programmes while PiggyBeng catch up on his work. We don’t have to keep running in to the bathroom to check on him as there’s a door next to the bed which is oh so convenient! We just need to peep at him occasionally.
The only set back was on the second day he was having so much fun that even he wanted to do his big biz he refused to go to the throne! And guess what? He poo-ed in his swimming trunk! Yeeeeeeewww! Poor mommy has to do the washing of course!

On the second night, while PiggyBeng attends his dinner function, we were supposed to have dinner with this mommy but her big bosses were in town and she has to entertain them so we have to cancel our dinner date. Therefore, I brought Darrius to Pavilion instead. I have wanted to dine in one of the restaurant there but thinking only 2 of us, we can’t be eating much so forgo the idea. Then I thought I can try the Vietnamese Pho (beef noodles) in the Republic Foodcourt but the place is not baby friendly as they don’t have baby chairs available so I have no choice but to dine at one of the Japanese restaurant… at least someone will serve us so I don’t have to leave Darrius alone waiting for me to get my dinner.

Before we go out, I got the Lil’ fella to do some posing on the bed…
Darrius really likes the hotel’s memory foam mattress as it is so bouncy! Then we took a slow stroll to Pavilion which was about 10 minutes walk away from the back of the hotel. When we arrived, I noticed J.Co Donuts has a small crowd so I decided to queue for some donuts before proceeding to look for my dinner. To my disappointment, the quality of J.Co Donuts have depreciated so much since the last time I ate them which was just a few months back! The donuts looked so poorly frosted (probably they have so much business that they don’t even bother with their appearance anymore)! This will be my last time buying these donuts as they don’t taste as good anymore… Quality drops big time!

Even Darrius who used to be able to finish the entire donut the last time refused to finish it this time round. He only took a few bites and wanted my Sapporo Ramen instead! Don’t that explained how terrible the donuts are now? Even a small boy rejected them!
