Restoran Ruz Aladdin

I bought this deal on Dealmates the other day. 50& off for chicken briyani set at ruz aladdin, TTDI. I've been to the one in Jalan Ampang. And the briyani is realllllyyyyyy good! So I'm expecting the same from this one. discounted price sum more!

The set comes with a Chicken Briyani, Sirap Bandung, and Rojak Buah. Hubby sgt la excited since Sirap Bandung is his fav!

This is the indoor area of the restaurant @ 8pm. Tak ramai orang lagi time ni. probably because it is still early for dinner. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. I loike.

We presented the delamates certificate. The friendly staff asked if I want a baby seat. Hahaha… my baby is merely 3 months old, he can’t even hold his own bottle, how to sit la macha! Hehehe. Thank you for the nice gesture tho :p I told the waiter that I want my drink without ice and hubby’s with ice.

Our drinks come a few minutes later. And terkejut sekejap sebab air sirap bandung yang dinantikan, bertukar menjadi kale hijau. Uik.. We called the waiter back and ask him. He told us that the package that we bought comes with calamansi drink, not sirap bandung. We’ll, saya memang pelupa, tapi saya tau baca.. I ask him to bring back the certificate and there, sangat la clear tulis “SIRAP BANDUNG JOHOR”. Tak dapat johor punye pun takpe, janji sirap bandung.. hehe.

Apparently the owner of the restaurant is there having dinner with his family at the open air area. He came to our table and apologized and took our drinks to change it. Tapi saya rasa kesian pulak, so I just ask him to change just one drink for hubby. Aku minum je la air kale hijau ni.. Nampak sedap jugak.
Next the Nasi Beriyani Ayam sampai complete with acar and kuah and what not. Terkejut lagi skali, not because ayam bertukar jadi kambing, but because the portion of the Nasi is really2 big. Ayam dia pun sgt la besar. Memang woth the money that you paid for. Nasi dia pun sgt la sedap. Cukup lengkap semua rasa. Tak makan dengan kuah pun takpe.. sangat sedap!

So hubby and I decided to just share a plate. Because saya confirm takleh habiskan one by myself. So we asked the waiter if we can tapau the other one and he gladly do so (altho dalam certificate tu clearly dah tulis for-dine-in-only)

This is the dessert (or should it be served as appertizer? hmmm). I have no comment on this. Rasa biasa je, nothing to shout about. Cuma rojak ni sgttttt pedas. Dorang terletak extra cili kot.. berair2 nak hidung makan this rojak.

Verdict = you guys should go and visit this restaurant. either in Jalan Ampang or the one in TTDI. ada byk lagi food on their menu. western food pun ada. huhu

Ladies Floor

Being a frequent traveller, I've been checking in and out of hotels for numerous times. I’ve lost count how many. More than hundred times I am sure. And most of the time, being a women travelling alone, I can’t help but to be paranoid and scared. There has been cases hotel rooms been break into, cameras being installed in the bathroom and a few other disturbing cases. So when I received this email from Hotel Istana, I was really impressed. It made us women, who travel alone feel more secure and at ease. I wish more hotels will adopt this idea in future.

Benefits:* Hotel Istana*

Complimentary internet in the room

Orange Saloon

I am sure by now most of you are aware of websites that offer fabulous discounts on restaurants, saloons, and other shops suchs as dealmates and milkAdeal. I purchase the above deal recently.

RM58 instead of RM218 for a haircut by a professional creative stylist + moisturizing treatmen using Alfaparf Milano products + wash + blow at Orange Salon.

The location of the Salon is at Southgate Commercial Centre. The location is quite convenient if you dont mind the jem! and parking is free too.

The saloon has a very classy design altho I cant find anything that is in 'orange' color.

The staircase behind me lead to a manicure and padicure area. nice huh?

The PC is located at every booth. I dont know if it is meant for customer to used because I was not offered to use it.

Altho the deco of the saloon is nice, the services are nothing to shout about. The so called "professional creative stylist" that was assigned to me was nothing near creative nor professional. He did not recommend anything and just follow whatever I asked him to do. And my hair was shampoo and washed at the basin. By right, normally your hair will be shampoo at the booth first and later wash at the basin. And normally the hair wash that I get from other saloon will take about 15 - 20 mins (they will put shampoo on your hair twice), but here, it only took 10mins with only one wash. Dah la rambut saya tebal, rasa tak bersih and tak puas :(

The hair cut pun macam orang baru belajar potong rambut. how can they call themself professional creative stylist? and the moisturizing treatment pun ala-kadar je..

Rasa macam serik pulak discounted deals. Service yang dapat pun "discounted" jugak.

Probably some of you out there have different experince?

Car of the Year 2U (COTY2U) 2010

I accompanied hubby to the Car of the Year 2U (COTY2U) event that was held at MATRADE. I'm not so much fan of cars, so I'll just post a few armature pictures that I took out of boredom. I repeat, cars are not my passion, so, expect more pictures, and less review/ comments.. huhu

This is the newly launched car by Proton. It is 'inspired' by Mitsubishi Lancer, hence the name Inspira. Hmmm... for those of you who always comdemned Malaysian car, I think you should just shut-up. If you can afford to buy Lancer, by all means. Kalau suka, beli, kalau tak suka, just buzz offfffffffffff


This is Neo GTI, Lotus Racing edition (did I put the name right?). I like the color. But hubby said harga dia mahal!

Chili's Ramadan Special

Hubby has been craving to break-fast (iftar) at Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant (it is his favorite place!). So last Monday we went to Chili's in Empire Shopping Mall in Subang.

Chili's didn't take reservation for Buka Puasa. However, they will open the que for Buka Puasa at 6.00pm daily. We arrived Empire at 5.30 and by 5.50pm, the que has already been quite long! We managed to get a seat at 6.15pm (Alhamdulillah).

They are offering Ramadan Special Menu that comes with a complimentary soup of the day and a scope of ice-cream.

I had Crispy Honey - Chipotle Chicken Crispers (RM29.95).It was very tasty and served with sweet corn on the cob and homestyle fries.

Complimentary Kurma (tak sedap pun... mcm tak ikhlas je, I think lowest grade of Kurma. Tapi dah free kan, syukur je la)

Soup of The Day. There were 2 choices for your to choose from. Beef Stripe Soup or Chicken & Mushroom Soup. I picked the later one. The soup is very creamy and not so thick served with 2 pieces of Digestive Biscuits

Chipotle Chicken Crispers served with sweet corn on the cob and homestyle fries.

Sorry the picture was over exposed. For dessert, it was a scope of vanilla ice cream. It was soooo creamy and yummy! Hubby didnt take the Ramadan Specials, so he didnt get the Soup of the Day and Ice-cream (tapi he "pau' mine!)

99 Speed Mart

Have you ever heard of 99 Speed Mart? It just opened a branch in my housing area. I went there this morning to purchase a loaf of bread (yeah, I'm not fasting today, due to women-ly reason).

99 Speed Mart look like any other convenience store (or kedai runcit) that sells groceries and other necessities.

I decided to purchase Gardenia's butter-scotch bread (sedap gile ok roti ni, it taste better toasted. give it a try!)


Anyway, back to 99 Speed Mart. The retail price of Butter-Scotch Bread is RM4 (as per written on the tag). From my experience, be it Giant, Carrefour, 7-Eleven, or kedai runcit, they will charge as per what ever is written on the tag right? If the tag on the bread says RM2.90, the store will charge you accordingly. But 99 Speed Mart charge me RM3.80 instead of RM4! Impressive huh?



Patut la my cousin always promote kedai ni... Dia slalu beli susu baby kat sisni. The prices are definitely cheaper then any other place. Probably not for all items, siapa yang rajin, sial la compare.

GCB

Tried and tested, the new Grilled Chicken Burger (GCB) from Mc' Donalds. It was introduced few days ago and it is for a limited time only! Seeing the tempting advertisement in the News Paper, I quickly dragged hubby last night to give the burger a try. Verdict?

1. The burger is smaller then what it seems to be from the advertisement.
   
2. The Iceberg Lettuce totally not like what it is portrayed in their advertisement (hence the disclaimer "for illustration purpose only")
3. But the taste is totally awesome! it is different from any other burger that Mc'D ever had! totally refreshing
4. The Char-grilled Sauce is yummy! and it somehow made the burger taste burger-king-like
   

Totally not like what it is advertised. Poyo kan?

DonaShi

What happened when you combine Donuts with Sushi? Its what we (or BigApple) called as Donashi.

Its a new donuts range introduced by Big Apple Donuts & Coffee. First time I saw this, I think it was kinda sick and yucky. Sushi-like-donuts? not tempting at all... But I'm yet to try it, so I cant pass judgments to quickly, no?


~ The world first and extremely Sushi-licious DONUTS. Totally VEGETARIAN~


The menu... one first glance, it totally look like the normal sushi right?


~ So pretty





And they are running a contest to inconjunction with the launch of Donashi. All you have to do is be a Fan on their FACEBOOK page and guess the name of the DonaShi in fastest time possible. Is it not that easy as it sound.. trust me... hehehe

La Senza Semi Annual Sale!!!

Prestige Cardholders will receive an additional 15% off total nett purchase from 1st - 4th july 2010! I'm so excited as I'm one of the cardholder! jom! hehehehhe

LIPTON Chocolate Milk Tea

The other day when I walked past the workstation of a colleague, I saw the sachet of the new Lipton Chocolate Flavored Tea. I was tempted just looking at the packaging! (I'm holding a Degree in Marketing, and yet, I fall easily with all these marketing strategies!)

And true enough, I went straight to the hypermarket the next day and got myself a packet of the Choc Flavored Tea. My verdict: It Taste Sucks. Chocolate and tea, is totally not a good chemistry. Now siapa nak habiskan the remaining sachets?


Aren't you tempted just by looking at the packaging? no?

Yet another lovely non-working Friday

Tomorrow (Saturday) is a Public Holiday. It's Agung's Birthday. My company gave us a replacement holiday on Friday, which is today.. Yehaww!

Tapi kesian hubby, he has to work.. hehehe. SO I decided to make his morning by making him Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)for his breakfast. I woke up at 6am to cook. Tak guna perencah instant ok, I made it from scratch.

After he left for work, I begin to do some house keeping. Putting back the spare pillow, blanket and comforter, that was used by my in-laws last week, back in the cabinet, and other normal house work.

After that, I went to pay the bills (water, electricity, internet, phone, and Cukai Pintu). Mind you, the Cukai Pintu is bloody expensive! I just knew that all property owner are required to pay Cukai Pintu twice a year. Mine is RM252 for half year, and I forgot the pay it, and now, the outstanding is RM524 (RM20 penalty for late payment, haih!). Nasib baik tak kena repossess rumah saya..

Next on the list, is The Curve! I went there for about 2 hours. Window shopping la konon, which I ended up buying yet another pair of shoe (Ada sale ok! who can resist?)

Feast your eyes people!


My shopping bag (most of them are food :D)


The shoe from Vincci. Less 50%. From RM69 it was reduced to RM34.50. Me likey :D
Guna duit balance yang hubby bagi to pay the utilities bill :)


My favorite cuppies by far, from Cupcake Chic.RedValvet (Redvallet cake and Creme Cheese frosting) and Chocoffee (Coffee falovered cake and chocolate toppings) and ~ Yummy! RM4.50 each


KL Bird park is having its promo at IKANO. They even set up a mini bird zoo inside the mall! In conjunction with the event, they are selling entrance ticket to KL Bird Park at a discounted price. Adult: RM10 (original price: RM20), Child (3yrs to 12yrs): RM5 (Original price: RM10). Since i never been to the bird park before, I decided to buy the tickets. I bought one for my nephew too! the ticket is valid until end of this year. Owh, I found out that the KL Bird Park is the largest indoor bird park in the world!


This is my lunch... hehe. Chicken TripleDecker Sandwich from O'Brien. Yummy!


This is the new take away bag from O'brien. Nice huh?

And that is how is spent my friday. Phew

GM Klang

Last weekend hubby and I went to GM Klang (Wholesaler). The main reason why I dragged hubby all the way to Klang is because I wanted to buy a shawl that I saw in one of the blog and the blog owner has a shop lot there.


My first impression of the place is “impressive”. It was like a massive one-story mall with stores selling various types of items ranging from women accessories, clothes (children, women, men), house deco, IT items, electrical items, and lots more. The place is also certified by The Malaysian Book of Records as the Largest Wholesale Plaza in Malaysia. Impressive huh?




They segregated the mall into 6 sections which they called Pavilion.

P1 – Fashion Apparels (Women, Men, Children), Undergarments, Ladies Accessories, Ladies Handbags

P2 - Fashion Apparels (Women, Men, Children), Undergarments, Ladies Accessories, Ladies Handbags

P3 – General Merchandised, Time Piece, Accessories & Cosmetics, Ladies Handbags, Fashions

P4 – Electrical & Electronics, IT Products, Hardware & Tools, Building Materials

P5 - Electrical & Electronics, IT Products, Hardware & Tools, Building Materials

P6 - Electrical & Electronics, IT Products, Hardware & Tools, Building Materials


I got what I planned to buy, which is shawls, and errr… few other items too. Hehehe


I manage to buy this accessories organizer like the one you found in accessories stores! Look at how organized my earrings now. I can display and retrieve my earrings easier and it is space friendly too. And the price is only RM13! (BTW, I regretted for purchasing only one unit. Look at the space, its already full!)



I also purchased a scarf hanger for RM15. IKEA is having similar items which they sell at RM25.90! only available in white color)

This is the one from IKEA : RM25.90



(Picture Source)

This one is from GM Klang : RM15 :D The color is so interesting kan?




How to get there?
