TRAVEL 21

Who loves dim sum? Yes, me too! So last weekend I visited this one hotel in Harmoni area which happens to have a dimsum promo every weekend. And yes, an all you can eat one. HARMONY SQUARE is a restaurant inside Grand Mercure Maha Cipta which is currently holding a 40% discount promo on their weekend dim sum buffet program every Saturday and Sunday from 11.30-15 PM.
