The following day...

The following day....I had my breakfast next to the indoor theme park.

Enjoying my chicken burger & fries

while watching people screaming their lungs out at the nearby theme park😂

After then....walk around the mall....the Christmas tree was still around then....while some other parts of the SkyAvenue complex have CNY decors, what a transition!

Meanwhile, my lunch at the food court....prawn noodles!

Fully loaded with prawns, pork slices, fishcakes, hard boiled egg and green leafy. Unfortunately it tastes bland....like clear soup noodles😕 

As for dinner, I had stewed pork rib rice at Fortune Corner restaurant.

~~~~~~~~~~

The next day (Day 3), I had brunch at the same place.

Herbal chicken rice.

And tapao-ed the roasted pork rice from 'Cha chaan teng' restaurant located at Genting Grand complex.

BON APPETIT!

Free Meals and Free Show

This was during end of last year while clearing my remaining annual leaves. Since i m not into travelling overseas yet, a short local trip will do.

On my recent trip to Genting, i fully enjoyed the freebies to the max....

Apart from free room (given to members on certain months), I also had free meals and free show to watch (no, not that kind of show😂)

Anyway, just posting up the pictures here for remembrance....

I had chicken rice (with whole chicken leg) at Fortune Corner restaurant....yes, it was claimed by points, not a single cent being spent.

Free flow Chinese tea/plain water is provided with the meal.

The yellow thingy on my plate are pineapple cubes (to my surprise).

~~~~~~~

My main purpose of making a trip up there is to renew my membership card.

Upon card renewal, i was given a free ticket to a one-hour variety show, which starts at 8pm.

Highlights of the show include dances

Some sort of musical/theatrical dance. The performers are all foreigners. I believe they rotate their performers with Genting Cruise that sailed thru SG - KL - PN or perhaps with their other casino chains worldwide.

Even the singers have superb vocals.

Some acrobatic performances...

where the acrobats are from China

and some Latin dances by the Latinos...

Such an interesting variety show by international performers...I haven't watch such variety show 'live' for quite some time (ever since lockdown).

~~~~~~~

At nite, I had supper/late dinner at the food court.

Ordering was done thru the kiosk, bought a Cantonese style yee mee with 5 points.

Delicious warm noodles on a cold nite.

Nak Nak @ IOI City Mall, Putrajaya

Continuing with my food 'exploration' at the new wing of IOI City Mall....

This time i tried out Nak Nak fastfood restaurant, which specializes in Korean fried chicken.

I believe it is a local franchise restaurant. In case you are wondering why the name 'Nak Nak', here's the description taken from their website:

Nak 낙 simply means JOY in Korean. “NAK NAK”, resembles the sound of someone knocking on the door, and also means “we want” in Malay.

Ordering is done thru the counter or at kiosk. As this was my first time, i prefer some human-interaction, hence i did my ordering at the counter.

I ordered a combo meal, which consists of boneless chicken thigh (in chicken popcorn shape), beef bulgogi with cheese fries and a refillable drink.

Was given a beeper to collect my food.

5 minutes later, I collected my food from the side counter.

An empty metal cup was provided, customer can choose any drink from the drink counter and it's free-flow.

There goes my meal. The generous portion of fries with bulgogi and cheese toppings is so filling!

The soy garlic chicken thigh tastes good too. I would like to try gochujang chicken in my next visit.

The restaurant occupies 2 huge lots, it is spacious and has plenty seating space.

Apart from Korean fried chicken & fries, they also sells burgers, cookies and bingsu.

 

Bai Wei Mini Bowl @ Puchong Jaya

Went to try out this so-called 'fast-food chain' which sells Chinese dishes. The concept is like 'chapfan' (mixed rice) stall but the dishes are served in bowls (with fixed price per portion).

They have set lunch with affordable price, which comes with rice, drinks and soup. The soup is placed at the self-service counter.

Ordering is done through the counter. Just need to pick the dishes that we want and proceed to the counter. Me and my colleague decided to go for ala-carte (instead of the set meal), so we choose the dishes and shared between us. The dishes are slightly different from our local 'chapfan' as these are sort of China-style dishes. We had stir-fried chicken cubes, beef slices in dried chilies, sauteed cabbage and stir-fried Julien cut potatoes (can't remember the exact name of those dishes but most are simple dishes). The 'beef slices in dried chilies' dish tastes like mala.

We had a bowl of rice each to go with the dishes. Customer can choose to omit the rice and will not be charged for that (if opted for ala-carte). As for the drinks, they have various herbal drinks to choose from. The drinks are pre-packed in sealed cups and taken out from the fridge (if opted for cold ones). 

My first time of having 'China-style' dishes in a fast-food concept setting. This outlet opens 24 hours daily!

The entire meal for 2 with rice, drinks and free-flow soup costs RM40 nett.

Thumbs up for such fast-food concept, cleanliness and ambience.

As for the food, despite the dishes being placed in a steamer counter with close lid (which is much better than the 'chapfan' dishes which are being exposed), I still prefer the dishes to be freshly cooked and served warm, as the heat goes off quite fast in an air-cond environment.

Tastewise, i personally prefer our local 'chapfan' dishes flavor.

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, below are some pictures taken (as remembrance) for the cheapo 'Foodpanda deliveries' sometime ago (last year).

These roasted chicken drumstick rice & roasted pork rice which cost only RM11nett inclusive of delivery....such a great bargain!

Pasembor rojak, 3 packs for only RM13.50nett. 

*we added own cucumbers and onions for more crunch.

'Chapfan' rice from Fatty Mixed Rice, RM11nett for 2 packs below.

Each pack consists of a veggie dish, meat dish and an omelette/tofu.

We had one with steamed minced pork, omelette and stir-fried greens.

and another with lemon chicken, tofu and stir-fried greens.

BON APPETIT!

Dinner with Ex-Colleague at De Centrum Mall

Impromptu dinner date with an ex-colleague who has recently left the company, to catch-up with some gossips/updates about her.

Went to this not-so-well-known 'mall' nearby the office. It was my first time, despite this mall has been around for quite some time.

there is a few eateries in here....one of them sells tandoori and naan.

So we settled for garlic naan and tandoori chicken.

Paired with my favorite bandung syrup drink.

Freshly grilled tandoori chicken, tastes OK. Good to have these once in a while.

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, on another day, i had family dine-out again at Tasty Wok restaurant. 

First time ordered their 'Thai-style chicken chop' dish. Tangy yet slightly spicy.

Quite appetizing and will order this again. Good to go with rice.

~~~~~~

Recently there is a new 'toy' in the office.

The management must have noticed that most of our staffs have put on weight, hence ordered a few units of 'workout bike', where we can workout and 'work' at the same time. It has a mini desk to place our laptop in front.

I have yet to try this...Not sure if i m goin to try it or not.

Hope I don't encounter this in the restaurant...

CNY Mall Decors & Shopping

This year the CNY comes too soon after Christmas, hence i did not have ample time to 'tour' around Klang Valley shopping malls to snap their decorations.

Only managed to go to the ones nearest to home and office....

I went to Pavillion Bukit Jalil sometime end of last year, where they have just begin to set up the CNY decorations. Things were still messy and half done, hence i did not snap any picture.

But the Food Merchant supermarket were already in full-force with CNY goodies and decors up.

some flowers/plants on sale

~~~~~~~~~~~

meanwhile at IOI City mall new wing.....no rabbits but this....flamingos??

the new wing is much quieter and not many kiosk being set up. There is only 1-2 selling CNY cookies.

[below] lanterns hung from the ceiling

due to the huge concourse, the decorations look tiny and does not fill up the entire space.

meanwhile at old wing, nothing impressive, the concourse area has 'split' into half, where only half of it is decorated. The other half is occupied by some booths selling massage chair.

~~~~~~~~~~~

There is a new fast-food outlet in the neighbourhood....it occupies a corner lot of the busy district.

Rice burger, but very much cater to local taste...such as rendang flavor, pandan rice, nasi lemak rice burger sort of thing. Browsed thru their menu (from the ordering machine) but found nothing that i fancy. I would prefer eating proper burger or proper rice, not the fusion of both.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I received some shopping vouchers to buy CNY goodies at Genting 'CNY Flower Market'.

Here are what we got (combination of a few vouchers)

Also bought a pre-packed yee sang to savor during CNY😀

Well, i'm done with shopping!
