A Ball with Nuffnang & Friso

Dec 2nd, 2008 by papabear

We had a ball at the Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out at Kizsports & Gym, One Utama Shopping Centre last Saturday, 29th November 2008. That was the first time for us attending such a big event with our son, Pasha. We were wondering how he would bring himself among the other adults and children but it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable time in his life as well as for us.

Before we go on to the post, we would like to thank Nuffnang and Friso for making this event a blast. We would also like to thank Kizsports & Gym for the great place and friendly staffs. We did not get the chance to chit chat or mingle with other bloggers as we had been too busy chasing after our son. However, it was nice when we met Lankapo and family as well as Gartblue and family there! We would also like to congratulate Sawanila for winning the grand prize!

Cautions! This post is full of pictures! Proceed at your own risk. You have been warned…

registration photo shoot

Right after the registration, Pasha had to change into his Nuffnang Friso t-shirt and then we had a family photo shoot at the entrance. That marked the beginning of a great time ahead!

Speaking about having a ball, Pasha was really having lots of fun with those colorful balls that they had over there.

There was something about those balls that made children go crazy! Here are more pictures at the colorful balls area.

The combination of the slide and those colorful balls were really a great idea! We could have let him stayed there for the whole day and he would not mind it at all.

They had an area for the younger kids and there were more slides and balls there too! My son was in a kid’s heaven that day!

the climb

There was this huge playing area in the middle of the place where kids and parents had to climb up and the go down some slides. Mama Diah had to follow Pasha up as Papa Bear was too heavy for that stunt…

They went up and they came down! What a pure fun to have! At least Pasha and Mama had no problems with height….

Then we had a group activity but Pasha decided that he would not really take part. He was already sleepy and at the same time, he preferred those colorful balls and slides outside the activity room… There went our chance of winning a hamper…

Once out of the room, we took Pasha to the swing and he had a jolly good time swinging away…

We missed the talks by a nutritionist and a mommy blogger as Pasha wanted to play with those colorful balls again…

Watch the short videos above to see how much fun that he had with the colorful balls. Below are more photos with the balls.

Balls! Balls! Balls! Green balls! Yellow Balls! Red Balls! Blue Balls! Orange Balls! Nothing else but balls!

At 12 noon we had lunch. Pasha did not join the kids lunch but was with us instead. Notice the Ducth Lady Iced Latte above. We had a free flow of those during the event. For lunch we had some noodles, nasi lemak, chicken curry, puffs and and a few other things… Before that Pasha joined the coloring contest but he was not interested in coloring. He was more interested in arranging the crayons into the box…

The Magic Show took place right after lunch but Pasha decided to take a nap and he fell asleep on my shoulder and then Mama took over…

After he woke up from his nap, he asked the mother to join him to do the climb and slide again… He had fully recharged and that was the last thing for him to play before we bid farewell to Kizsport…

Here are some of the goodies that we brought back from the event. From left to right, top to bottom, a pair of mouse pad with NuffnangFriso logo, Friso Milk, Dutch Lady milk and the RM100 MPH Vouchers that we won. The last two pictures are our souvenirs from the event.

We are looking forward to more family events from Nuffnang in the future!

Sari Ratu Kelana Jaya

November 22, 2008

Suddenly we felt the craving for nasi padang and the first place that came to mind was the Sari Ratu restaurant in Kelana Jaya. Right after Pasha woke up from his afternoon nap, the three of us headed over to the restaurant. It was almost empty when we got there as it was already past 2pm. That’s good!

Below are the food and drink that Mama Diah ordered. By the way, they somehow do not serve nasi padang the way they serve it back in Indonesia. It is more like having nasi campur or nasi kandar here where we just order what we want unlike the real nasi padang where they would just put everything on the table and you just eat whatever you want to eat and leave the rest untouched.

From left to right, ayam bakar, which is Mama Diah’s favorite chicken dish, gulai nangka (jack fruit), gulai telur (egg), chicken soup, which is meant for Pasha, sambal merah and a glass of honey dew juice.

Now these are what Papa Bear ordered.

From left to right, gulai pucuk ubi, udang petai (prawns), ayam pop and a glass of honey lemon. The ayam pop was not as good as the one that we always had in Jakarta or Dumai but considering that this is the only place that sells it, it was better than nothing…

Two pictures of Mama Diah and Pasha eating. Nowadays Pasha would not want to seat in the baby chair anymore. He prefers to sit on our lap. The third picture is Papa Bear and Pasha at the cashier and the last picture showing the missing “D” on the word “RESERVED” on the parking sign. With such good food, who cares about the missing “D” anyway…

That’s what you get when you feed your child properly. Pasha trying out Mama Diah newly bought sunglasses while on the way to Sunway Pyramid after a great lunch!

So, if you miss or want to try a decent nasi padang, that is the closest to what you can get in Indonesia, head over to Sari Ratu.
