Vaccinated

This is a non-foodie post, but more of a most discussed topic these days...

As of today, both my parents have taken their vaccination...while i m still waiting (dunno when)

My young-at-heart mum got her jab in a private medical center located in Mid Valley, instead of the mega PPV centers.

Well, it was a quick one....or should i say, superfast/efficent service as she does not need to wait/queue at all.

The appointment was scheduled at 10am. We reached there at around 9:45am....then the staff ushered us to fill up the forms/verification. This took about 5 minutes. Not long after (less than a min), her name got called and voila!

The syringe is ready....

jeng jeng jeng.....

I asked my 'young-at-heart mum' on how it felt when the needle was poked onto her arm...

and she said....'it feels nothing....like nothing happened' (me: what??!)

The entire process completed within 15 minutes including the observation time after injection. This is probably the fastest time taken as most of the people i know took about 30 minutes to an hour for the entire vaccination process.

Quick and efficient service from the healthcare staffs. Kudos to u all!

after done....my 'young-at-heart mum' was still energetic and 'semangat' to go shopping~~~😑

Secret Recipe Durian Cakes

Went to Mid Valley for grocery shopping and stopped by Secret Recipe to look see look see if anything interesting....

Initially wanted to buy durian cheese tarts but there is no 'Super Trio' promotion.

It was still early around 10am when some of the cheese tarts are still 'baking' in the oven.

Meanwhile at the cakes section...all nicely displayed....and i saw someting that captured my attention...

yes, the one with 'thorns' surface

all look so tempting....i was captivated by the sight of the cakes!

ended up buying 2 slices of durian cakes....can't remember how much....i think roughly RM11.50 per slice...

According to the Secret Recipe website, the description for this 'Absolute Durian' cake is as follows:

Four layers of premium vanilla cake with three layers of rich durian filling.

tastewise not bad...like actual durian and got that 'aroma' though not pungent...

I will buy this again while stock lasts (it's a seasonal cake which only available during durian season)

Meanwhile...my fav 'addictive nuts' are back!!!

bought this from a snack store in NSK for RM18.

1kg of peanuts....and i have already finished half of it....gosh!

Foodpanda Delivery - Buharry Briyani

Decided to try on some other food....this time I ordered from Buharry Briyani which i have not heard of...

Gave it a try coz of the free delivery stated in the Foodpanda app.

The recommended item is their briyani rice....

which comes with papadam and a chicken drumstick (wrapped in a separated plastic bag, shown below)

i also ordered a chicken murtabak and a piece of roti canai kosong...

the curry dhal sauce and the pickled onions (for murtabak) are provided in small plastic packets.

The chicken murtabak is abit on the dry side coz there is not much egg & oil used in the minced meat.

Roti canai is quite standard....it was still hot when reached us. Best eaten hot/warm when the dough is still fluffy.

The briyani rice is quite alot...one whole full box (weighted about 450g ++) with a hard boiled egg buried beneath the rice...This briyani rice comes with papadam & chicken (ayam masak merah). 

Overall the foods are OK. 

The total price for all the above: RM17.90 inclusive of delivery

My mum dislike the briyani coz got gamey taste/aroma, hence I will not order again.

Foodpanda Delivery - A&W

As the lockdown continues.....I bought more fastfood via Foodpanda to satisfy my cravings....

Ordered 3 pieces of fried chicken and a Mozza burger.

Here's how it looks like...it has melted cheese with 2 beef patties, some lettuces, a very thin grilled chicken strip and slices of tomatoes.

Total price is RM22.20 nett, inclusive of delivery.

The following week, i ordered again, but this time with 2 Mozza burgers & a large curly fries.

After applying the discount code 'Tapintofood', i got additional discount of RM7, hence the total price become RM17.30 nett, inclusive of delivery.

KFC 'The RM10 Box'

Saw a KFC ad on You Tube and was attracted to it...

Hence one day, after done marketing at the neighbourhood AEON Big supermarket, bought this from the KFC store for lunch.

This set meal comes with a Zinger burger, 3 piece nuggets, mashed potato & coleslaw. There is no drink in this set, which is OK with me.

It is quite a bargain coz the Zinger burger itself costs RM10.50 when bought ala-carte.

Now that it is RM10 nett, it also comes with the sides, for a more filling meal!

Original Burnt Cheesecake & Cheapo Ice Cream

This was bought by annoyin' sis in conjuction with Mother's Day...

She ordered the cheesecake via online and collected from the shop in Arked Esplanade Bukit Jalil.

The price for this cake is around RM45 if self-pickup from the shop.

this is probably one of the dense cheesecake that i've ever tried...it has the texture and slight lemon sour taste similar to Secret Recipe's New York cheesecake (but without the crust bottom).

We cut the cake into 12 pieces which lasts us 4 days to finish.

Averagely RM4 per piece which is quite worth-it with the quality on par with Secret Recipe's.

meanwhile on another day....

bought these cone ice-cream (Big Value brand) from AEON Big at a very cheap price....

guess how much?

it is just for 20 cents each!

I believe this costs RM1 each (at normal price). For this one, the taste is still OK, though the cone has gone soft.

Well, can't expect much in terms of quality...as long as the taste doesn't go bad and still within the 'best before' date should be alrite😁

btw, the best before date is 19 June 2021

Foodpanda Delivery - Kenny Rogers Roasters

I have been eating mostly home-cooked food since the lockdown started.

There are times that i missed dining out and fast food...

To 'kepoh'....i went on to browse Foodpanda just to look see if there's anything interesting nearby

and ended up buying 2 boxes of Kenny Rogers quarter chicken meal

I requested for chicken thigh for both. For the side dishes, one with mashed potatoes & garlic parsley potatoes, and the other is with mashed potatoes & coleslaw.

Here's the top down view...the chicken thigh is OK-lah....nothing fancy....tender meat with black pepper sauce provided separately (in the small container)

The other looks abit dry, but still OK when eaten with the sauce.

Total price is RM24.75 nett for 2 boxes, inclusive of delivery.

Tastewise was just so-so but i decided to order again (on another day) when there is further discount by using the code 'Tapintofood' in Foodpanda.

The second time, i bought the similar set meal at RM17.75 nett, inclusive of delivery....what a bargain!

well, i think these days i would click on Foodpanda more often seeing that the lockdown would be prolonged with the high number of cases (and keep rising daily!)
