This year for Hari Raya, we celebrated it by embracing the local sights and sceneries. And I'm not talking about watching a movie or going to the museum or going on a holiday.


We had a nice and messy lunch at a local hawker center in Ss15, Subang Jaya and then some snacks for tea time, for our journey. My kids being naturally messy eaters, left me helpless when I ran out of tissue paper! But thankfully, I had the Travel DRY Wipes tube in my bag and I took 2 capsules out and wet it; And magically, the dry wipes became wet wipes! The best part is, I was able to use the same singular wipe continuously each, 1 for both of my sons until we finished eating lunch! It was like having a wet hanky in hand, that is reusable and cleans well, without tearing easily. It's 100% cotton, hence gentle on all skin types! And yes, I am recommending, promoting & selling this because I'm using it myself also.

This is my half-lunch (cos I ate my kids leftover lunch), a new crunchy and chewy Ramen (rm2.50) you can add on to your Oden (Original or Tom Yam Soup) at Family Mart outlets!



Tried this interesting Avocado Milkshake. Avocado with Honey and Low Fat milk (RM11.90). It was very "fulfilling", please don't take this if you're full! But it's an awesome drink to quench your thirst and hunger, it's healthy too, with good fats! This is located at where Taiyaki used to be in SS15, Taiyaki closed shop already, couldn't find it...



Instead of heading home, my husband just felt like adventuring out, driving to places for a day trip. So we decided to head out to Amverton Cove at Pulau Carey, Klang (30-45min drive) on Raya Day 1. (He was hoping I'd agree to go Port Dickson instead, but no, not today)



We were in love with this place because of its green surroundings and beautiful serene lake. There were lots of fun things to do here too! Although food options here, in terms of venue, is kind of limite; but it is a great place to be with the whole family.



Children activities here are aplenty! We didn't partake in any though, we were just here for a stroll.



Our kids loved it even though it was a short and simple day trip. We were able to enjoy the nice cool breeze and the soothing views, we even watched people "kayak-ing" in the lake and being splashed by a huge pail of water in the swimming pool area.






After that we headed to grab a quick dinner treat at ss15 Subang Jaya.

We tried this Aboong which turned out to be desserts. But luckily they had it in waffles without the ice cream.



I bought Lim Fried Chicken for myself (without the rice). And this was our dinner, it's pretty satisfying and simple. The kids enjoyed the Aboong waffles and also croissants (from Giant) back at home.



They had loads of fun today! Who said we had to spend money on shopping to be happy? Or visit malls to entertain our kids? Or even taking your kids to themeparks or play areas to spend time with them? The possibility are endless out there! There's aplenty that one family can do together with their kids, the key is knowing how to make everything fun! Why make life so serious when you can make it fun for everybody! Hope you had a great Raya celebration with your loved ones and a fun-filled holiday!
