Lunch - the Fly

I wonder, if the spider could write a blog, how would it review today's lunch ?

Meeting food

Attended a meeting in Melaka recently where the usual two type of kuih accompanied by tea/coffee was served. Except, in this case its three type, two sweet and one savoury. The kuih served is generous in proportions such that even the organiser was pleasantly surprised. The caterer will most likely get future contracts from them. Taste good too.

Lunch @ Amcorp

More like a late afternoon snack really. It was a hectic day, I missed lunch at the appointed hour and was reminded of my hunger by a grumble in my stomach. Since I had to do some waiting, I decided to look for something to eat. Not Mc D again. Luckily, or so I thought, there is a restaurant next to the Mc D outlet. Looks nice and there's an outside dining area to enjoy the late afternoon breeze or errr to smoke.

Peruse the menu quickly and ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice Thai Style. Imagining a tasty, sumptuous rice dish served in a pineapple boat. Instead, what I got is in the photo above. Portion was small, for protein it had only two prawns and one piece of chicken in it. Accompanied by a slice each of cucumber and tomato, slivers of carrots and some shredded thin omelets. Definitely not worth the price RM6.90 charged for it. As far as taste is concerned, that failed too. Nothing special and no hint of the Thainess that its supposed to have. It does have a few pieces of pineapple though.

The watermelon juice on the other hand was excellent. Cool, sweet and not watery. If I am in Amcorp again, I will visit this place again and may try something else. Why ? The ambiance of the outside dining area is really nice as it fronted the garden and the lake. Nice place to relax and chill. Just don't order the Pineapple Fried Rice Thai Style.

Boys having fun on the wet muddy field. Mummy is not going to be pleased...

TM 100 service - EXCELLENT.

Most likely due to recent heavy rains and thunderstorms, my phone and data line went quiet. Made a call to 100 at about 8am and these guys show up at 10am the same day. Speedy.

The guys tested the line and made sure everything were in order. Good job. Excellent and speedy service from both Telekom and their contractors. TQ.

Oreo delight

One of the best I have tasted during the 2008 Raya holidays. Not too sweet or rich, just nice and moreish. RM20.00 for a jar of 50 pieces. To order call Zafni at 019-2215699.

Back to school...

Now that the holidays over, its back to the daily grind...

Digital Cordless Phone

Cost about RM300, works but annoying especially the mushy buttons and dodgy speakers. Not the easiest or intuitive to use. Should have gone for Panasonic instead.

Not recommended.

Rules of the Roads - for the seas...

A bi-lingual guidebook on the Rules and Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea incorporating all amendments plus Rules for the Strait of Malacca and Singapore. Will be available by end October from KWPPL, Mariners Center Port Klang.
