Conquering my Acrophobia ...

DSC07629
Follow that old rickety road... off the beaten track...

Keep following the fence...

Until you see..
a HUGE field! and there I will be... waiting...

That's what our paragliding instructor told us...!
And there he was.. true to his word... eventhough dusk was approaching fast.. he waited for us

Yikes! Do I have to do this??! Don't make me go.... lol... :(

This chapter I would like to call... "Conquering my acrophobia"!

Sorry lovey... everyone has to go.. yells our ruddy faced instructor... !

And I tell you....

Boy was I glad I did! It was one of the most awesome rides of my life! DSC07653

That's me.. that tiny black spec in the sky!

The place : somewhere on a field, in a kampung.. North Port Klang, Klang...

What you need : Nothing but yourself and a sense of adventure! (check out this activity here link)

Time: Normally weekends, noon onwards, when the winds are less strong.

We rushed back, in time for dinner with our friends, at Pasta de Gohan... Sunway Pyramid. We had read so much about this place from other bloggers we just had to try it!

What can we say.. the pasta was good... but perhaps all that "flying" had our adrenaline pumping and we were therefore thoroughly famished... and found that, for the prices (averaging RM2o plus - RM30 plus plus, depending if you have plain egg and bacon topping ... or high end seafood..), the portions were really small... !

The pizza crust was almost wafer thin. We had Carbonara Pizza which was really delicious, but again, tiny ! I could have eaten it all by myself in one sitting... and then some!

maybe next-time, we will do the SET.. which at RM14.80, seemed much more value for money!

Pasta: 7/10

Pizza:7/10

Taste: Excellent (8/10)

Price : Small portions for those prices

Service : Good (Plenty of eager beaver staff)

the food was delicious and yes portion was small, wonder if singapore looks beeter?

Doroshi said...

Hi! I do agree the food portion is kinda small, and to me is pretty disappointing. Still prefer the taste of cooking from Pasta Zenmai. :)

Julian Si said...
