My dear Gran is now 78 years young. She’s celebrating her birthday with us in Malaysia, but I can see that part of her would also have liked to be in South Africa. We made it a day she would remember and cherish forever.
We took her to a cute little coffee shop for tea and cake. And mmmm, was the cake delicious! I guess that’s why they call themselves D.licious. We invited a friend along and the two hours just flew by so quickly.
In the afternoon we showed them another suburb of KL, Sri Hartamas. There’s a little plaza with cute shops and the two ladies sure did shop. And then we had some more cake.
Dinner must have been the highlight of the day. We treated her to dinner at the Hilton Hotel. It was a buffet dinner and there was a huge variety of food to choose from. Strange Japanese food (I usually give those a skip, don’t like my food staring at me), scrumptious Chinese food, tasty Malay food (some just a little bit too spicy) and the old time favourite Western foods. Oh, and I mustn’t forget the desserts. From strange looking and odd coloured desserts, to traditional warm puddings and ice cream. We just couldn’t enjoy a nice wine with dinner, because the hotel doesn’t serve alcohol in September out of respect for people celebrating Ramadan.
Happy Birthday Gran!
Love you!
