24 Seasons Drums performance at Midvalley Megamall

More Chinese New Year posts .... we finally caught the 24 Seasons Drums performance at Midvalley Megamall. I've wanted to watch this very energetic drums performance for such a long time and when I found out that they are performing at Midvalley, I just had to bring my family along for the experience. It's a performance to be seen to believe.
I love the vision of the drums against the backdrop of the stage. Doesn't the gold and black drums look absolutely grand? I'm told the drums signify the different seasons and festivals for the Chinese (to my absolute regret, I can't read them).
The performance was absolutely stunning! I love the colour, the sounds and the atmosphere that verberates through the crowd! What a great start to the new year!

Noodles at Eu Yan Sang, Gardens Midvalley

Eu Yan Sang is a popular Chinese medicine shop so when I found out that they’ve opened a restaurant at Gardens Midvalley, I was eager to try. I had my chance when my family and I decided to try out this venue last week. We ordered the wantan noodles with wantan and mushrooms and found the noodles to be firm and springy. The soup for the noodle was sweet and flavourful. We also ordered one serving each of Dry fried kuey teow with beef slices and Dry fried kuey teow with seafood. The kuey teow came topped with crisp julienne salad which provided a nice bite. My seafood kuey teow came with slices of fish and squid whilst the kuey teow with beef slices had a substantial amount of beef in it. I’m not actually a great fan of kuey teow done this way but still it wasn’t too dry for me.

Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D

We've finally seen Journey to the Center of the Earth last Saturday and it was an exhilirating ride! We were given nifty 3D glasses at the entrance. I could see lots of people in the cinema taking pictures of themselves wearing it .... hmm ... must be some kind of novelty!

The movie was quite an adventure and if it's any indication of how real it was, our daughter kept getting out of her seat and thrusting her hands forward to catch whatever was on the screen. Especially the diamonds and rubies and that cute electric bird!

The movie provides the same thrills as the ride in DisneySea Tokyo although it's a different thing altogether to ride through the real mine. I guess it's a safer alternative for those who are prone to "roller-coaster" fears, but a fun one nevertheless.

So, go and see the show!
