A Day Before Eid

I lost 3kg during Ramadhan. Too skinny now :p


The only time of the year where there are more than one customer at Bata (Not counting the year end before the school reopen).


Berani kau! Melakukan onar di siang hari ramadhan. Wajib bayar kaffarah!

Non Halal Items in Halal Racks

The meat stocks (beef and chicken) are being sold on halal's rack in Cold Storage.


What would they think of next? halal pork?

Two days too early, But Im not complaining

"Famil, there's a package for you downstairs" the receptionist was informing me over the phone at 4pm.

I was expecting a software package or something, so when I got there at the lobby, I was pleasantly surprised to see this..



Right there and then I knew who sent it. It's from Caieja. The readers I never met. Heh heh.


Thanks for the lovely cakes.


Of course, I shared them with friends and colleagues.


And everybody said they were delicious. Of course I wouldn't know then. I was fasting :p


And right after the iftar I tasted some. I had to agree with everybody.


And ohh. just to spite Lynn.. I had the dinner at Tony Roma's again.


And gain, I forgot to order the onion blossom thingy. Nevermind, next time.

On the Way to Iftar, I Made a detour

Took me about 10 minutes to walk here.


I would surely try this after raya. MOF = Ministry of Food.


Th interior. Their desserts look scrumptious.


My new favorite place for groceries shopping.


Dang, it used to be RM4.50 per pack.


Killing time by windows browsing.


I love pavillion. It has all the stuff I like.


But of course I couldnt afford all these, yet.


But I could spend hours just browsing.


And trying stuff sambil berangan2.


Super Coach store.


Kedai roti Che Det.


The escalator for lazy bums.


The nice cafe that I never been to.


Starhill's Interior


I saw the exact same window dressing at Senayan City Jakarta.

The spreads and all for only RM62.10nett

The stalls were laid all around the pool. There were cooked dishes, and there were cook to order dishes.


Almost all of them were Malay/Asian dishes.


With good mix of traditional and modern Asian dishes.


Except for the desserts. There's a mix of Western and Eastern desserts.


When I first saw this I thought it was something else (not a lamb). Unlike others buffet, Marriot provides at least 7 types of drinks (Syrup, Bandung, Soy Bean, Sugar cane, Dates Juice and the tarik + Coffee and Tea)


My dish.

For that price, I would say its a money worth spent (not that Im paying anyway)
