12.00pm - Had our brunch at a restaurant in Sungai Chua, which is very famous with its La Tang (spicy soup in mandarin). Basically La Tang is the same with Bakuteh, the only difference is the soup - the soup of Bakuteh is cooked with chinese herbs; while the soup of La Tang is made up of pepper and gingers. Inside the soup there are chicken and vegetables. Along with another dish of spicy minced meat cooked with dry chillies and a pot of hot chinese tea, we spent around RM30.00 for this meal.

1.00pm - After having our brunch, we went to one of the most famous steakhouses in Kajang. It was formerly called '1st Station Restaurant', and now it is called 'Mommommia Cafe'. Teenagers in Kajang like to gather here because it has a romanticly-decorated environment and a cheerful and exciting atmosphere.

1.20pm - The next place we visited is Bintang Supermarket, one of the supermarkets in Kajang.

1.40pm - After that, we came to Stadium Kajang in Kajang Town. It is not as gorgeous as the one in Bukit Jalil, but an old stadium that has been a popular venue for all sorts of community activities for a long time, until now. Beside Stadium Kajang there is a restaurant called 'Restoran Sate Kajang HJ. Samuri', which is one of the most famous places you can get Kajang Satay. The other end of the building is Kajang Public Library, which the opposite of it is Kajang Post Office.

2.15pm - We came to a park next to SJK and SMJK Yu Hua. Despite the students from the surrounding schools, many parents like to hang out with their children here.

2. 45pm - Next destination, Metro Point, which is the newest shopping mall in Kajang. It only started its operation 2 months ago. You can find many well-known shops in this building, for example, Starbucks Café, Secret Recipe, Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robin. Besides that, this shopping mall has some entertainment facilities too such as bowling (third floor) and game arcade (second floor).

3.45pm - We come to the largest shopping complex in Kajang – Plaza Metro Kajang. There is a Parkson Grand and a Giant inside, and of course, many other shops as well. Yamaha music school is just on the top floor of Plaza Metro Kajang. Next to it, there's a food court; Underneath it, there's a cinema.

5.00pm - Leaving.

5.30pm - Reached Cyberjaya, safely. ^^


* We couldn't take much photos in the shopping complex because we didn't apply for the photography pass.
* We only managed to visit certain parts of Kajang because Ben has to go back earlier. Thus we are planning to have a second visit in the coming weekends.
