Cat Expo 8th Edition

Cat Expo is popular in KL. We’ve been to a few and the worst was at Midvalley as the space is limited but crowd was huge. This was the first time we visited at MITEC. Better. More spacious. 

It’s a pretty cool exhibition where one can adopt, buy pure breds or just enjoy the cats. Lots of cat products on sale too.

Hubby is a cat person, not me. I only love photographing the cats. What attracted me most was the section of exotic animals. There was a booth by World of Exotics and they brought a 18Kg Burmese Python to this exhibition!!!

Yayyyyyyy. That’s MY kind of expo!!!!

Not easy to find a big snake to sayang as they need to produce certs. Smaller snakes are easier to transport around. 

 

Selangor Agrofest 2025

I am glad I went.

Although I hated the rain as ground was wet and small puddles everywhere, it was a good visit. Messed the whole place up. Lucky this Dataran Karnival, Shah Alam is spacious and lots of parking. Or else more grumbles!!!

Today last day so die die must go. I just love visiting all these kinda markets where you get local fruits, vegetables and products. 

In such a big scale, organizers are usually pretty good and fill the days with activities

Putrajaya Parks Day @ Taman Botani Putrajaya

Taman Botani Putrajaya Presint 1

WOW! The sambutan was great! The cars were melambak along the roadside, up the hill, around the corner!

They had a 7am run so maybe that’s why it was extra crowded. Nevertheless, it was fun. Full of activities. People’s market was there too. So lots of food and drinks. Agro Madani was there as well so lots of fruits and veggies. 

It’s been awhile since I last visited. So I was plesantly surprised to find a new Laman Anggerik (Orchid garden ). So nicely maintained and cared for. 

 

Kek Look Tong Destroyed?

The beautiful Kek Look Tong, Ipoh

I visited this cave a few times and had brought friends to admire it. Beautiful cave and structure. Plus, it has a huge zen garden at the back of the cave. Very well maintained back then.

I suddenly came across a video and read some articles that it was destroyed since Oct 2024 and Jan 2025. I’m not sure what exactly happened but some said it was effects from blasts of the quarries behind the cave. 

Photos below are from a video someone posted in FB… of the condition of the cave now. So sad. 

In Google, it’s states “Permanently Closed”.

I hope they will rebuild and repair, if possible. 

One of the nicest and grandest cave with a zen garden in Ipoh.

Pasir Penambang, Kuala Selangor

Love this factory. It is KEROPOK HAVEN here! Watching them make the keropok right in the factory was just lovely. They are friendly too.

Love their keropok. Crispy, light and very flavorful. They have a good variety of keropok. Prawn. Variety of fish. Veggies. 

 

Pisang Goreng Jenjarom

Pisang Goreng Agong in Jenjarom

That’s the pisang goreng stall, with the blue canopy, right in front of the corner kopitiam. Kept driving here for their freshly fried bananas until now jadi good friends. They are from Tawau so we have plenty to chat sbout!

Boss Agong

Very friendly. Very funny man. He speaks Chinese too.

Small family business but omg so crowded especially during weekends or when there’s events at the nearby temples in Jenjarom. 

 

Market Minggu

Taman Botani Negara

Shah Alam

It’s been so many years since the last time we were at TBNSH. Think it was about 10 years maybe! We were there with a student group,m; everyone enthusiastically ready to conquer Skytrax!!!

So, it was good to revisit this park.

Entrance was RM3 for adult, RM1 for senior. 

As there was a mini market, we came to look see at that too.

Met a young couple from Terengganu. Preggy wife. Toddler. Friendly husband. They were selling fruit juice, which saved my life in that crazy hot weather!!!

I was intrigued with a local named Tuan for a lady. So we chatted. They are such a hardworking couple. Salute!

There’s a small zoo here but entrance fee is RM25, which was expensive to me, seeing the condition. So we just walked outside towards the adventure section.
