KL Park Festival 2023


Come to think of it, I have never been to Tasik Titiwangsa! So I was happy to have a reason to come visit and it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day. 






















Jaboticaba
Brazilian Grapetree RM9K

Learnt that Persimmon is called Pisang Kaki in the Malay language. How weird!
Maybe it is also known as Diospyros Kaki or Kaki Persimmon but where does ‘pisang’ fit in???
























Indoor section

Quite uniquely set up but walking space is narrow. And, they make visitor U turn to go out; there was only one door in and out! Not a friendly walk. It was dark inside so seeing plants in that crowd was quite a task. 







Very cute Pitcher plants



Ohhhh these are soooooo cute! Vicious looking plants called the Venus Flytraps.





Aquarium -sized Terrariums

Terrarium cutely decorated with the gang of Sun Wukong

Moss Terrarium

Flower arrangements

















Food trucks

Black and White Lakeside Cafe


Iced Latte

Buttermilk chicken rice


Look at the presentation ~ Fineeee!

Nasi Lemak


Biggest plate of Nasi Lemak I have ever seen!




































Fruits to taste
There were booths selling cookies and cakes as well here.

There were interesting looking structures all over the park, made of wood. 




Of course there were rubbish being thrown into the pond!





An interesting festival indeed!

Red Hong Yi ~ Once Upon a Longtang

National Art Gallery (Balai Seni Negara)

Red Hong Yi is a young Malaysian contemporary artist and her art work is exhibited here in the gallery from Dec 2022 til March 2023.


Red Hong Yi 


























Really enjoyed Red Hong Yi’s creativity. It certainly brought back some sweet memories of Shanghai to us. 

A Longtang is what one call an alleyway house or Lilong residence. Built in Shanghai during the 19th century. We have had an opportunity to visit a couple of Longtangs during our stay in Shanghai. The one authentic one we managed to visit was in Xintiandi. There were still people living there but they are slowly moving out. Of cos there are renovated Longtangs for tourists but they are never the same. Too neat. Too quiet!
