Little Taiwan and Mdm Kuan’s

Again, i delayed this entry due to reasonably foreseeable circumstances. =)
*remind you of anything?” haha

This outing was 1 day after our frenzied assignment period, which was happened 3 weeks ago. During the frenetic period, my daily routine was so ~~pathetic~~ systematic. Despite attending classes, i had imprisoned myself inside F1A23 in the rest of the time, a study room which was sometimes freezing like the North Pole, provided the air conditioners is on. Till then, i realized what is meant by ‘global warming’ –> when someone went and turned off the air conditioner!! The room becoming muggy and made me feel stifling!! *Argh* I eventually thought that penguin would have hated us so much because we switched off their ‘air-conditioner’ .. hmm… Don’t you think so? *being environmental conscious* ahha

I have just finished my semester 1 final exam. Done my unbalanced accounting paper, step out from the 1000KPa business law examination hall with uncertain mood, and ending my economic paper in bewildered condition. *argh* I don’t care anymore!! (actually..it couldn’t be bothered by me in anyway~) haha

Our native plan was to go on Friday 2pm, right after the submission of our economic assignment. But it was forced to postponed because some of them already in hibernate mode. OKLOH! Saturday!! On sunny saturday, we took 10am bus to kajang ktm. Reaching there in about 37minutes. KTM, it is still remained undefined why it took so long on every shift? and why we will have to squeeze inside a ktm? Again, we were told to be careful of pick-pocketers.

We separated into 2 groups for movie, favian, hakim, lydia and me decided to watch IP Man which was superbly awesome!! The rest of them watching Yes Man which was funny, i supposed. There was 90minutes left to our movie time, we went there with a empty stomach, which prepared our self to have non-sa food that day! ~~SA rocks!!~~

Hakim and friends went into Carl’s Junior. I personally think that the burger is jus TOO colossal for me. My stomach felt like bursting after i ate it; by now.. the feeling of stomach-bursting still haunting me, although it was 6 months ago.. Ok, some of you must be thinking, “wah, desmond, i tot you will never ever feel full one??” What i ate was the ‘mushroom chicken’ thingy in double supreme size, some France made fries and soft drink. I don’t remember the name of the giant burger already, it was recommended by the staff itself.. *urgh*

Me and favian went into Little Taiwan which just few steps distance from Carls’ Junior. The restaurant is quite eye-catching from their orange colour exterior. When i have placed the order, some memory flash into my mind, telling me that i have actually visited them once and i regarded the restaurant SO~SO only. ><

i ordered a Fried Pork Ma-La noodles ($8.9) , a yam milk shake ($4.9), and share a side dish with favian. Noodles, no-big-deal, as what i can get from our SA cafe. Basically, they jus added some curry paste into the soup. really…. NO BIG DEAL! No choice, i wasn’t meant to smile when i taking photo, but it would be too awkward if i take photo with a noodles, somemore with a angry face? like this—> smile_baringteeth haha… Apparently at the time we busy taking photo, the table next beside us were “implicitly criticizing” about us. haha… although i feel darn bashful, and my face is almost blushed.. I just pretend i didn't hear anything! lalala~

Favian ordered same noodles with me, but his came with a fried chicken. Although they promoting that they are some what beef specialist, i didn’t manage to prove it, because i do not eat beef. lols…

Close up of our no-big-deal lunch:

After the non-that-satisfying lunch and movie, we went shopping!! And that was the starting of the cam whoring session at every corner of midvalley. Thanks for Nawal’s Sony Digital SLR ! haha…

After cam-whoring for nearly 3 hours, we hunger for food again… An embarrassing and irritating incident happened before we went to Madam Kuan’s. We usually went inside a malay food chain restaurant, “Laksa Shack”. 8 of us walked in into their restaurant had brought happiness to the workers. They served us well, with the out burst amount of enthusiasm by arranging table and chairs, handing over the menus and waiting for our orders.

(flipping through the menus)
desmond: nasi lemak rm16.90?! might as well go madam kuan’s??

friends: owh?

desmond: yeah, kuan’s price even lower lo. rm14.90 only leh. what so special about this o?
(but then i regretted on my suggestion.. =.=)

friends: erm… ok a!

(when we almost reached an agreement to change place..)
favian: let me go out first!!!!!!

*here the embarrasing moment took place*

one of their staff: TERIMA KASIH YA!!!! *with loud*

*everyone’s attention diverted to us.. staring at us with evil smiling!*

@$#%^&*&$@#

*feel like digging a hole and get my head buried* i am SO FISH AR!!!

In Madam Kuan’s, there was another incident happened which really really ruined our mood!!
i know Madam Kuan’s is doing quite well in their business, and it is a restaurant that famous of their nasi lemak and nasi bojari. BUT, your employee had jus kick your ass! First, your food is jus delicious, not regarded as first class nasi lemak anyway, and your demand is kinda elastic because there is another substitute of your restaurant which located in Jalan Imbi, Sakura Restaurant, your customer may jus shift there if they really wanna penalize you. OMG!! why the Mr.TakingOrder showing me a shity face? His face was like telling me that i owe him rm10.34 !! I DOUBT SO! Even though you might having PMS, but you shouldn't show us in any sense. In a service sector, “always wear a smile on your face” when dealing with is the MOST important thing. No other reason, but just we are your CUSTOMER!!
