We were at the wet market on the weekend when I saw this firework. This is a RM 70 display-in-a-box. It’s a fountain that’s built almost exactly like the beautiful London Bridge Fireworks I got last year. This one is called 孔雀开屏 – it means Peacock Blooming but the last two words also represent “blossom” (like a curtain). I was surprised when my dear read the Chinese characters for me. I didn’t know she could read Chinese!
I decided to grab it for the kids, since a similar fountain I got last year was very nice. This isn’t made by the same company though, it’s likely a clone of the more famous London Bridge Fountain Fireworks but the basic design is the same.
I grabbed the kids and we let it off in the park, on a stone bench so it’s elevated:
I totally forgot that the camera was set to QVGA mode so it’s not recorded in HD. Sorry for the poor quality, I always keep it at HD 1980 x 1080 for recording but the settings were changed and I didn’t realize before I pressed record. You still can see what the firework looks like though.
The kids liked it but I thought it was a poor imitation of the original London Bridge Fountain. It has less gerbs (the things that shoot out the effects) and doesn’t last as long. The range of colors and different effects were also inferior but generally KL doesn’t get the quality fireworks we do in Sibu. However, it was still fun for the kids to watch and that’s what matters. 🙂
Wah! Like that Rm 70 ar? >_<||
Yeah, it’s RM 70 but I got multiple items and got it down to RM 55. 🙂
RM 15 discount. Only one stall would do that though, some wouldn’t go below RM 60. It’s not built as well as the London Bridge ones but decent enough.
Wah … seems expensive but you love fireworks! So, ok la, once a year. I thought of getting some to play too dunno where to get.
Yup, this is an annual thing. 🙂
I really love fireworks, I’ll get them every year. It’s easier to get bigger and better ones in Sibu since it’s imported in directly. You can get them in most wet markets in KL and PJ, the Chinese ones that is. Not sure about JB though but I’m sure they’re around.
Can bring them over to spend Chinese New Year here – it will be an experience they will never forget.
Yeah, that would be nice! 🙂
Yee Ling did come over during Chinese New Year one year though. It would be a nice experience for them all to spend CNY here, especially during the eve. You can get fireworks in Sibu you can’t get in KL, got a huge 28 kg monster firework last year:

You can’t find stuff like this in KL, nothing bigger than the standard sized firework cakes.
