Royal Malaysia Police Museum | Muzium Polis Diraja Malaysia


After Tugu Negara, we also visit the Royal Malaysia Police Museum (Muzium Polis Diraja Malaysia) which is just few km away. The museum is way more interesting than we expect. Kids don't find it boring as the museum exhibits fascinating collections of The Malaya States Police Forces from British colonial time till present. The building is former Police Training Centre with archive of criminal evidence for training use. It turned into Royal Malaysian Police Museum later in 1980s. The Museum divide into 3 galleries. We begin with police armoured vehicles that exhibit outdoors - Short-land Armoured Patrol Vehicle, Commando V 100 APC, GMC Armoured Personnel Carrier, Sankey AT-105 Armoured Car, Ford Lynx Scout Car, Marine Boat PA-4 2220 and Royal Diraja Malaysia Aircraft. 


Gallery A starts from main entrance - exhibits of colonial police uniforms. equipment, medals, weaponry etc. Also the early days of the Malacca Sultanate empire, its history and downfall, through paintings, drawings and weaponry displays. There is a mini theater next to the entrance of gallery A where you can sit down and watch the short video clip of introduction of The Royal Police Force in Malaysia and it's history.



Gallery B showcases the history of the police force's vehicles as well as unusual evidence from past cases, including from investigations into triads, secret societies, and communists. This gallery has the most remarkable exhibition features a wide-range of confiscated weapons of triads, secret societies and criminals from the past. We spent the longest time here browsing rows and rows of weapons.



Gallery C is dedicated to the role of the Royal Malaysia Police during specific historical periods, including the Japanese occupation during WWII and the Bukit Kepong tragedy (armed encounter between the Federation of Malaya Police and Malaya Communist Party in 1950s). No photography allowed, so there is nothing to show here about inside. The other pictures are Special Police Force in action (dummies) in the middle of courtyard while we going over to Gallery C from Gallery B.

2016 Christmas Trees in Publika

Merry Christmas~ Here's this year's Christmas trees at Publika and my annual visit for the Christmas trees on Christmas day! Publika still having the most special design Christmas trees among all the shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur. 

























Christmas brunch~ Breadfruits, Desa Sri Hartamas

Merry Christmas~ It's a Christmas Sunday. Woke up without alarm clock, lazy to go far. Decided to go to Breadfruit for a good brunch. I think I've blog about Breadfruit before 2 yeas ago during first visit. After haven't been here sometimes, surprise to find out that the place has been renovated - from fruits cum brunch cafe, turn into a wine bar restaurant. Where has all the fruits gone? There are more tables to accommodate more patrons compare to before. Especially the long table with benches which can accommodate up to 10pax. However, the gap between 2 tables still as narrow as before. We dare not speak too loud or have private conversation as we afraid the next table could hear us. haha!





Still love our old choice ~ SatisFry Up @ RM30.00. It has Pork sausage, scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, mashed potato, rockets, and toast. We upgrade the free coffee to cappuccino with RM4.00 extra cost, and complementary juice of the day is fresh watermelon juice today. We also order their Baked Breakfast @ RM25.00 which consist of sausage, bacon, sunny side up, shimeji, cherry tomatoes, cheese rocket & toast. I find it a bit dry for since it is 'baked'. I still prefer their SatisFry-up; and with just RM5.00 different, I can get either sausage or bacon, scrambled or sunny side-up, sauteed mushroom instead of shimeji, a mashed potatoes, and comes with a drink with choice of coffee / tea and juice of the day.

Korean Bakery~ Tous Les Jours, Wolo Hotel, Bukit Bintang

A good friend of mine is in town! We hang out at Bukit Bintang for brunch since we want to do some shopping there. We both like coffee and breads, so decided to try out Tous Les Jours @ Wolo Hotel. I have been to Tours Les Jours in Korea several times but not this franchise in KL. Owned by CJ Group, TLJ has more than 1300 outlets in 8 countries including Korea, China and the United States. Tous Les Jours 뚜레쥬르 means "Everyday" in French. We had the real cheese bun and blueberry blanch with cappucino and flat white. The breads and coffee at reasonable priced. The coffee taste average, but the quantity given is probably the biggest cup of cappuciono I ever had so far lol. I love my choice ~ The Real Cheese Bun, the bun is filled with soft creamy cheese which goes very well with my cappucinno. Gan likes her blueberry blanc however I find it a little bit dry. Besides bread and pastry, they also have dine-in meals for breakfast or lunch such as sandwiches, quasadila, salads, omellets, pasta, pizza and etc. You may refer to the complete menu on their website:- http://tlj.com.my/product-category/dine-in-menu/
