TGV Cinema: Junior Hall in Pavilion Bukit Jalil

#throwback memories from our first adventure at the TGV Junior Cinema Hall earlier this month! We caught the much-anticipated Inside Out 2 on a quiet weekday. The hall was designed with little ones in mind, making it a comfortable and fun space for the whole family. Perfect escape from the hustle and bustle!

Inside Out 2, loved by the kids and adults

Outside the Junior hall, there's a space (City of Play) for the kids to play 30 minutes before the movie starts.

As it was a weekday, there's not many people watching the movie. There's only us and another family there.

Pedal to Power! Malaysia's 1st Kids Smoothie Gym Fuels Fun & Fitness at KidZania

Get ready for a smoothie revolution! Goodday Charge has teamed up with KidZania Kuala Lumpur to launch Malaysia's first-ever Smoothie Gym for Kids, a place where fun meets fitness and healthy habits become a delicious reward.

In this Smoothie Gym for Kids, your child can hops on the bike, pedaling to power up the blender and create their very own yummy smoothie! That's the magic of Goodday's Smoothie Gym. With each pedal stroke, they'll be whipping up a choice of two delicious milk smoothies: Goodday Charge Chocolate or Goodday Milk Strawberry. Both are packed with essential nutrients and vitamins to keep those little bodies energized throughout the day.

But the fun doesn't stop there! This innovative concept is designed to teach valuable life lessons too. Just like grown-ups who work hard and earn money to invest in their health, kids at the Smoothie Gym get to experience this cycle firsthand. They put in the effort (pedaling power!), and the reward is a refreshing, healthy smoothie – a delicious reminder that healthy choices can be fun!

This collaboration goes beyond just physical activity. Goodday Charge and KidZania believe in a holistic approach to healthy development. Amy Gan, VP of Marketing at Etika, explains, "We want children to understand that a healthy lifestyle is key, and this includes both good nutrition and exercise. The Smoothie Gym makes fitness fun and rewarding, while providing essential nutrients for sustained energy."

Ali Hassan, Mayor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur, echoes this sentiment. "We're thrilled to welcome Goodday Charge as a Purpose Partner. This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to equip children with real-life skills and knowledge. Not only will kids get pedaling towards a healthier future, but parents can learn alongside them about the importance of balanced development."

Let's head over to KidZania Kuala Lumpur and let your child experience the power of the Smoothie Gym! It's a recipe for fun, fitness, and healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

Breakfast in Penang: Fu Er Dai Dim Sum 富二代点心

If you're looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast in Penang, dim sum is the way to go. I wanted to bring my family for breakfast during the weekend, so I was checking out for place to go and I found this recommended dim sum place, Fu Er Dai.

Fu Er Dai Dim Sum is a popular dim sum restaurant located in Georgetown, Penang. It is known for its wide variety of delicious and affordable dim sum dishes.

The restaurant is always crowded, especially during weekends, so it is best to make a reservation in advance. One thing I love about this place is the ample of free parking space.

The menu at Fu Er Dai Dim Sum features more than 30 choices of dim sum dishes, including prawn dumpling (har gow), siu mai, steamed golden bun, chee cheong fun, and many more. The dishes are all made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection.

Varieties of dim sum selection

Ordering in here is easy too as once seated, they will asked you what tea/drinks that you want, and then hand over a card paper (sheet) for you to bring along when you order.

Just go to the counter where they have few sections of dim sums, paos and fried dim sum to pick and choose what you want to eat. Pass the card paper to the staff and they will help you to tick the items that you ordered.
