Happy holidays! Sharing this again in case you’re looking for something to do with your little this week! ❤️
Enjoy!
Whether it's the school holidays or not, if you're looking for a fun day out with your toddler, here's the ultimate list I compiled over Ella Grace's 3 week break! 😂😅
Everyday, I would look through the list then narrow it down to one or two choices for Ella Grace to pick from (freedom within boundaries, mamas!) and off we would go!
The list is categorized by area and includes at least one activity and one restaurant. Depending on how she was feeling that day, traffic, dinner plans, etc we would either nap-on-the-go in her stroller (and mama got a quiet coffee!) then continue or we would head home.
Change it up, make it your own, invite a friend, be flexible, but most importantly, enjoy your time together and I'd love to see what adventures you guys get up to! <3

The Hive- Bulk Foods
Spend a day talking to your little one about sustainability and conservation at this cute little zero-waste store in Bangsar. They have workshops for adults and little ones and also a little play corner if they get restless halfway through your browsing. Such a beautiful way to teach teeny tiny about reducing and reusing from helping to bring your own containers to filling them up with your sundries to picking out stainless steel straws for friends and bamboo toothbrushes for the family. The only bad part is when your child announces to the entire universe that "MAMA HAS A BIG ONE TOO!!" while pointing to the Freedom Cups.
***
DAMANSARA UTAMA
The Starling
Spend a day at Kiddomo Universe or catch a kid-friendly movie (with a playground in the cinema!) at MBO Cinemas. Stop for a steaming yummy bowl of pho at Pho Vietz or walk outside for a super yummy nasi lemak and fried chicken at Village Park.

Depending on where you park, check out Noriter or Kinderia for a little play, awesome books at The Story Book, a balloon at Brrrloon, the most amazing toy store and lifestyle mash up at Carousel and Kaleidoscope, splash around in their splash fountain, swing on their tree house and stop for some chicken tandoori pizza at Nutz and Bolts or a nyonya meal at Aunty Lee's.
If you're at Waterfront instead, check out the fishes in the lake, the amazing walking trail at the park with lots of pets to say hi to along the way, playground to explore and then stop for a meal at the new Kenny Hills Bakers!
***
KAMPUNG PENCHALA
Either on the way somewhere or as an activity by itself, stop by Restoran Sambal Hijau for an incredible array of authentic Malay food - Ella Grace's visit isn't complete unless she says hi to the cats, chickens, and checks out the banana leaf trees and gardens!

***
MID VALLEY CITY
The Gardens Mall
Have lunch at Benbino (The BIG Group) where there are ball pits, balloon rooms, tunnels, slides or spend a few hours at the new Jurassica on the third floor. They have an awesome play gym Ella Grace loves, along with some live reptile feedings. The dinosaur part is glow-in-the-dark and moves and roars...very cool if your little one is into dinosaurs but might be a little scary if not! They also have a rock climbing wall and flying fox in there. You can stop by Borders for a little coffee and warm milk, some books before nap time or for a little rest then head over to Fresco for delicious Mexican w churros for dessert!
***On Saturdays, our favorite SUPA DUPA Circus balloon team makes a special appearance in Benbino from 3-5pm!

We love going to the The Little Owl, Korean Cafe, a beautiful enclosed play area with simple homecooked Korean food, good coffee and attached toilet (so great when you're newly potty trained).

Ella Grace also religiously checks the Inside Scoop case to see if the Unicorn flavor is in stock!

Spend a day at the waterpark, tour the mini zoo, or build sandcastles on the beach. Make it a mini-staycation and rent a room at the nearby hotels for a little rest and check out the DreamWorks Kungfu Panda Village for a little meal fun. I was pleasantly surprised how much we loved Sunway Lagoon (even though she couldn't sit on any of the rides!) and have been back 3 times now! Get the season pass upgrade!
***

Teach your little about refugees and take them for a giant croissant or delicious soft-baked chocolate chip cookie at Project B and get to know your waiter!

Hidden inside the neighborhood is a beautiful park that you can bring your bicycle/scooters to, blow bubbles, have a little playground fun as well as watch people exercise in various forms from zumba to taichi to calisthenics! There is also some amount of wildlife like monkeys, iguanas, monitor lizards, water spiders etc as well as turtles and fishes in the lake. We usually stop by Aunty Manju's on the way home for the world's most delicious appom or even a rootbeer float at A&W!
***On Sunday evenings, there is a really cool night market that you can get groceries, meat, fish, fruit, etc as well as all kinds of yummy dinner offerings like J's favorite satay and my favorite sup ayam!
***
RAWANG
Mari House
A new discovery thanks to the #LOccitaneCares program, this lovely little edu-retreat out of the city is a super fun day out for little ones from catching fishes in the streams, checking out tadpoles, learning how to grow organic vegetables using compost and other green techniques, cooking "farm-to-table" to just getting to run around in nature! Come armed in some serious mosquito repellent and on the third Saturday of the month, they have a market and picnic with workshops for the whole family!
***
ETC
Look up the IBU Family Resource Group KL playgroup schedule for the week and see which one you might like to join. If at the IBU House, we like stopping at Aunty Nat's for some delicious Nyonya food after!
Go to the morning market in your neighborhood and stop for some roti after before getting the team at Playgroup_nestkl to come over for an afternoon of messy play that includes customized sensory stations, music, storytelling, and fun!
Set up playdates in your house and just let the kids entertain each other. I can't tell you how many times that even when we had grand plans to meet at all of the above, there were also some seriously lazy days where we just hung out at home and the kids made up their own games and stories and we ate delivery!
The key to it all is just doing what works for your family and your lifestyle. You know your child best and what they can handle, even the most "boring" days in your head are the most magical days to them if only because they got mama all day all to themselves.

Kenting (墾丁, pronounced Ken-ding) is a popular holiday destination in Taiwan for tourists and locals. Come with us on a day trip to this beautiful place - there's lots more waiting for you here in Kenting!
HOW TO GET TO KENTING (FROM KAOHSIUNG):
FROM ZUOYING: The Kenting Express Bus leaves from Zuoying station (which contains both the high speed rail station and MRT station) and takes approximately 2.5 hours to reach Kenting Main Street. You can buy tickets from the Kenting Express Booth at the station (at the top of the escalators just outside the High Speed Rail Station) or you can buy tickets online here (http://ticket.fun2tw.com/Login.aspx). I recommend buying in advance for weekends, holidays and in peak season (July/August school holidays). The cost is nt300 per person, one way. The website is in Chinese but if you use the Chrome browser your phone/computer should automatically translate the pages - enough to figure out what you are doing. The bus has free wifi and USB charging ports.
FROM THE AIRPORT: There are also buses that leave from the Kaohsiung airport (also known as Xiaogang airport). You can only buy these tickets at the airport. There's a timetable here: http://www.ptbus.com.tw/09/%E8%87%A8918.htm. You'll notice the destination on the website reads "Xiaowan" - this beach is right next to Kenting main street.
FROM KAOHSIUNG TRAIN STATION: Buses also leave from Kaohsiung Main Station although the pickup point is not clearly signposted - it's behind the MRT station. At time of writing (April 2018) the Kaohsiung main station is under heavy construction and I would recommend just catching the MRT to Zuoying instead rather than trying to find the bus amongst the chaos!
Beware of taxi drivers convincing you to ride with them - the fare is never cheaper than the bus, they will make you wait until their taxi is full of passengers, and the ride will definitely be less comfortable. It's definitely best to ignore them and get on the bus!
What to do in Kenting
There's quite a lot to do in Kenting, Taiwan - but it might be a bit different from the beach holidays you are used to. You can:
Relax on the beach - get a beer at the beach bar at Xiaowan (https://goo.gl/maps/FexLoksFvjE2), find shelter under a crag - and if you have kids watch them play safely in the little stream that connects the river to the sea. There are also a range of water sports available here,
Browse the night market (https://goo.gl/maps/xE3cZZa5td52) - this starts at sundown and is reportedly the longest in Taiwan. My personal favourite snacks here are the fried milk and the banana pancake.
Visit the Aquarium (https://goo.gl/maps/uAuFRB7srd92) - I haven't done this yet but it's apparently a very good aquarium (just be aware that it's a bit outside Kenting, perhaps pair it with a day trip to Hengchun town),
Wander around Hengchun old town (perhaps start at Hengchun south gate (https://goo.gl/maps/eTMnSE2npC72) and work towards Hengchun old street),
Swim at Nanwan beach (https://goo.gl/maps/xbYP23YZ9AB2) - this beach is my personal favourite for swimming and it's also good for collecting shells and sea glass.
Learn to surf with Afei (who also runs a bed and breakfast): https://goo.gl/maps/tT7GEq363Xt
Enjoy a meal at Bossa Nova (https://goo.gl/maps/g1t4G8xekv52) run by a lovely Taiwanese family and their French daughter-in-law,
See fire coming out of the ground at Chuhuo natural gas spring (https://goo.gl/maps/Lncfvr5UVLs)
Bird watch at Longluantan (https://goo.gl/maps/kCtguhsi6Xk)
Eat sushi and ride in a glass bottom boat at Houbihu (https://goo.gl/maps/ZYbn5wKPMx12)
Snap a selfie at the southernmost point of Taiwan (https://goo.gl/maps/KTo14HuZc6E2)
Check out Sail Rock, a huge coral reef rock that apparently looks like President Nixon (https://goo.gl/maps/ZFLiC3Z9sf22)
How to get around Kenting
Hire an electric scooter - for nt600 per day you can hire a scooter to get around. There are many scooter hire stores on Kenting main street. No licence is needed but you do need your passport.
Catch the shuttle bus - a whole day ticket is nt150 and you can buy it on the bus - just say ONE DAY PASS clearly and they will understand. Map and timetable can be found here (http://www.ptbus.com.tw/03/0302a.htm), all in Chinese unfortunately. Alternatively, you can just pay with change as you go. The downside is that the buses don't come very often and the stops aren't that easy to find.
Taxi - being a holiday area, taxis often do not run the meter but will rather negotiate a fare with you up front. Taiwanese taxi drivers are generally not out to rip you off but you will definitely pay more than in other cities in Taiwan (if you are a westerner you will likely still think the price is very cheap compared to home). In return, you will ride in air conditioning!
