Malaysia Day - 16th September

What do you do during the long weekend?
Yours truly went 'hunting' for promotions....Lately it has been a norm to have national day promo....and this extended to Malaysia day too...not just F&B, but all sorts of businesses.
On national day:
Bought a shoe from Sketcher with RM67 discount (in commemoration with 67th Independence Day)
Bought 2 pieces of Uniqlo AIRism shirt with RM10 discount each
Had Coffee Bean iced blended mocha for RM6.70 each (usual price is RM14++)

Then on Malaysia day, I browsed thru the net and discovered both KFC and McD having promo on their fried chickens.
Decided for McD (coz KFC chicken is smaller in size and inconsistent)
There was a queue even at 8pm++ coz everyone went there for the fried chicken.
How cheap?
see it for yourself....
RM15+ for 5 pieces of fried chicken with a purchase of McValue meal.
So, I chose the cheapest McValue set coz I was only there for the fried chickens😁
Each piece was huge...big, juicy & crunchy like Texas chicken (but tastewise Texas chicken is better)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unrelated to Malaysia day/national day, I recently discovered that Subway has wrap too...and salad, but with additional charges (from the usual sandwich price)
Anyway, the sub-of-the-day RM9.95 is really a good value for money. With add-on RM0.75, I got a wrap stuffed to the max, without worry of spillover, coz it is tightly wrapped. My favorite subs are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (BBQ, Teriyaki, Roast chicken).
The cheapo me likes freebie, so i completed the online survey and got myself a free cookie....
Their macadamia nuts with white chocolate chips cookie is superb.
encountering a funny moment with the store manager....
Me: I would like to claim a free cookie (while handed over the receipt with validation code from the completed online survey)
Store Manager: *checked the system from my validation code then....
hmmm....i see that you have rated our outlet an average 6. May I know what's the issue?
Me: *puzzled...did I? heck knows i only simply entered a value, didn't even bother to read the questionnaire coz i just wanted a free cookie😂
Anyway, i managed to give a 'lame' feedback....Now gimme my cookie!😄
Next time, i must put at least a 7 so that i don't get questioned again, hahaha!

A new Japanese restaurant in Pinnacle mall has already opened.
Went to the uppermost floor from the escalator nearby Baskin Robbins to reach the entrance.
This picture was taken on last weekend where it was still undergoing some finishing touch.
It is Mitasu!
This is a well-established Japanese restaurant with outlets in Bukit Bintang and Old Klang Road.

Meanwhile, during the long weekend, i also had this....in Ah Muk Cha Chaan Teng.
Macaroni in tomato soup with spams and scrambled egg for RM16.40 nett.
It was near the closing hour, hence the staffs were clearing the pastries.....They have alot of leftovers, so they served me a free egg tart.
Yea....on the house....wooohooo!
The egg tart is a quality one with creamy egg custard and crunchy crust equivalent to Oriental Kopi standard (although the size smaller than Oriental Kopi's egg tart)
This definitely made my day😃

Wow! What an eventful day. You also had retail therapy. I love shopping too. It really helps to lift up our mood. You are really really so farnee. Whenever I fill in questionaire, I always choose good, excellent, thumbs up etc. See lah, want free cookie kena questioned by the manager lol! Just joking. 16 September is Malaysia Day while it is our late Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew's birthday. Good that all the food you had are affordable and tasty.
