Indoor Play @ Jungle Gym, Bangsar

KL Kids Indoor Playground: Jungle Gym @ Bangsar Shopping Centre


It's been a while since we brought the kids to an indoor playground and after a disappointing trip to Kidz Zone at Sri Hartamas Shopping Centre last Thursday (the place has closed down but is still listed on timeoutkl website and also sri-hartamas shopping centre website) we decided to bring them to Jungle Gym at Bangsar Shopping Centre (not Bangsar Village).

We arrived at the indoor play area about 8.00pm and we had the whole place to ourselves. Initially, the kids love it, the area leading to the entrance was cheerful and bright, but after paying for the tickets and entering the indoor play area, my kids started to get cranky. I am not too sure if it's because there are no other kids around or that the place is a bit dimly lit or because the animal characters in the indoor play ground was a bit too scary for them, they didn't enjoy the place and kept wanting to get out.

The only thing that I managed to cajole them to play is the air gun. But, still only for 5 minutes and only after I asked the person in charge of the indoor playground if it's possible to turn off the loud music as it scares both of my kids. 

The indoor play area is also a bit small to me, I think it will be a bit too cramped if there are a lot of kids around at one time. 

Below are some pictures of Jungle Gym at level 4, Bangsar Shopping Centre, maybe your kids will enjoy it better than mine. Admission price per entry is RM22 (Weekday) RM28 (Weekend / PH and Sch Hols)). They also have an indoor in-line skating rink (minimum age 7 years old) just next to the indoor playground entrance and you can get a combo package for entrance to both at RM35 / RM45 per entry.

Stir Fried Beef Recipe / Daging Goreng Black Pepper



This is a simple Asian cooking recipe I picked up from my husband's aunt. The elderly always seem to cook differently from us and their cooking always taste so nice. This beef dish is very light in taste, but I still like it very much. Though preparation is a bit tedious (for me as I like to cook fast and easy dishes most of the time)

I don't really know what to call this dish as it's not what you would expect from a black pepper beef recipe so, I will just call this dish stir fried black pepper beef. Great with simple steamed rice, omelette and mixed vegetables. A simple Asian fare. 

Stir Fried Black Pepper Beef recipe as such:

Ingredients:

Prepare first: 
1 medium onion - sliced thinly and sauteed till crispy; set aside
2 medium sized potatoes - sliced and fried beforehand; set aside
300 gm sliced beef - boiled till tender; set aside (keep the beef stock)

Other ingredients: 

2 tbsp ghee / butter
3 cloves garlic - chopped
1 inch young ginger - bruised
1 ripe tomato - diced
dash of black pepper
dash of salt

Cooking Instructions:
1. Heat up the pan and melt the ghee, stir in the garlic and young ginger.
2. Add in the beef and some of the beef stock ladle by ladle just so that the dish won't dry up. 
3. Add in the tomatoes and potatoes. Let it simmer. 
4. Add in the sauteed onions. Add more stock if necessary. 
5. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
