McDonald Made With High Cost

It’s almost around few months I have not tried the Mc Donald’s Mc Flurry. Previously, I love this McD’s originals – Mc Flurry. Although I feel that the price is very expensive and do not even worth it but anyway I still take it because the taste was seriously nice and I could take more than 15 minutes to enjoy it. But, something has happen. Yesterday, I was together with my friends on an outing in Genting Highlands. This is the first time going there since 7 or 8 years ago. Nothing much have change in Genting Highlands. Weather are not really that cool but you could feel the breeze there. Alright, back to the McD. So, we had our lunch there but Lunch for 5.95 onwards wasn’t available in Genting Highlands. So, I just get myself my favorite ala carte burger – Spicy Chicken Mc Deluxe and a Mc Flurry. When I get the food, I noticed something has change on the Mc Flurry. New Appearance? New Design? Well, it just got smaller and the price were the same in Kuala Lumpur if not mistaken. But in Genting Highlands, the price were slightly higher and guess what, Mc Flurry cost RM6.30 here.

When we discussed back in our seats about the Mc Flurry, they said it suppose to reduce the price since the size is reducing. But nothing have change. If you have tried in KL and similar case happen, then you must take up your right as a consumer. I am not persuading you to try to complain them. Just feel that it doesn’t suppose to worth the same price as the original size we used to enjoy. Here is some picture taken to show we are not lying and not doing any photo edit on it.

Here is some picture that I taken with my handphone camera.

   My lunch for the day – Spicy Chicken Mc Deluxe and a Mc Flurry. Just look at the size of the Mc Flurry.

This tell me that McD is undergoing recession.  Sorry about the camera. I was not skillful enough. Burger still the same one.

Well, if you just won’t believe what I have just said, see this picture yourself. Comparing with a Medium size drink. Look at the differences. 

If you still don’t believe it, look at this yourself. Another comparison with Large size drink. See the huge difference?

This is how you save the environment. Box eat Box method. 

I think that’s all from me about the Mc Donald. Well, I will try to taste some Mc Donald again later on when my college reopened on the 18th May. Till then, see you all.

How you could do that? All you need to do is write about your experience and review about this Mc Value Lunch. Well, go to the McD website now and look out for this contest. And lastly you need to be creative. Supposing you need to write and post it to them or post it on your blog. Well, please read the contest detail yourself. I am in for this. Anyone interested?

Salvation For Donuts?

Wonder why donuts have become a trend now in Malaysia. Maybe after watching Simpson? or even Dexter Morgan? You know some of the big giant doughnut company in Malaysia right?

 

Two giant battle out each other: Big Apple and J.Co Donuts. 

So, last Friday which was a Labor Day. I headed down to Times Square which my sisters and brother want to take a break. The first thing we do when we reached there was looking something to bite on for evening teas. So, here we ended up to. Merely open just for five days, the crowded was still there till 10 pm as I am leaving Times Square. Wonder what was that?

Kuspy Kreme or Krispy Kreme?

So, we lining up to get some of this for a try-out. They were working very fast and efficient. Even their manager (if I am not mistaken) was there to supervise their employee. By the way, he is an English dude. So, they also give out some free donuts to try out. As usual, from my past experience with J.Co Donut where they also give out free donut to try out.

Here are some of the donut available. By the way, the donut that they give out was original glazed. Not bad. Quite tasty and sweet.

So, we brought two box. That is a combo yea. One of the box was only with the original glazed donuts and the another box is your choice. So, we took the picture with my handphone this time around. No longer steal picture. Maybe I did steal some picture.

 

The box with the Original Glazed. Cover with frost sugar make the taste as sweet as possible. Very tasty.

The variety box. The available variety include – From far left: Chocolate Almond Glazed, Glazed Cruller, Hershey Cookie Glazed, Green Tea, Powdered Strawberry Filled, Cookie Glazed and Chocolate Iced Glazed.

The first bite on the Original Glazed while enjoying on the seats. Inside was just like normal bread dough. But outside was cover with frost sugar. All around the donut. 

The Powdered with Strawberry Fillings. If you planning to try this, go ahead. But for me, it just like a normal bread spread with strawberry jams.

The one that is different from any other donut on the list would be this. “Glazed Cruller”. It’s very crunchy. Maybe too much flour or this is the characteristic. And it has the same type with original glazed donuts but the only difference is the frost sugar fall only on one side. Below shows a different angle of the Glazed Cruller.

The rest was eaten by my brother and sisters. So, the rest need you to try it out yourself. And I heard from my sister that who be the first customer to purchase the product from Krispy Kreme will receive a ONE YEAR LONG SUPPLY OF DONUTS. Wonder what will happen if I won the supply? So, the man that won the supply was camp outside the cafe for two nights. He deserve to win it.

Some of the drinks available: Mocha and Vanilla. But the Mocha taste a bit different from StarBucks.

If I am not mistaken, there will be another branch opening very soon at MidValley. I think the competition be the stiff and tough at MidValley because the J.Co is there as well.

So here is the overall evaluation for Krispy Kreme:

1. Customer Services: A
2. Friendliness: A
3. Efficiency: B+
4. Quality: B+
5. Presentation: A-
6. Taste: B
7. Environment: B
8. Price: B
9. Will come back again?: Definitely.
10. Overall: B (still can work better and more improvement can be done)
11. Stars: ****

That’s all from me.

Review Part 1

Official Launch is coming up within the next few days. Remember the date “May 1”. I have already post it up as a reminder on my another blog which is Hard-CORE Memoirs. Click here to view my another blog. So, here is my review on some of the things that I have seen so far. Previously, I have told you that the first task will be three items which is:

Let’s start with the food review. The restaurant was located Federal Bowl and it is opposite to the Low Yat Plaza. Well, this place can be said full of bookings even you wanted to book one week later have left only few place. How can this be possible? Sure it does. Many people want to try new stuff and want to know how good was the food. If you have tried out Jogoya, Tenji and Sasaki, this may be new thing for you because this would be a Barbeque buffet.

You cook and you eat what you cook for. That’s was one of the theme there. The variety of food was less there because the space of the restaurant was quite limited. Unlike Jogoya and Tenji, where they have a lot of space for customer. Beside BBQ, there are other variety such as Sashimi, Sushi, Tempura, Chinese Delicacies, Ice Cream (not from Hagen Daaz), and few to be name.

Well, for the BBQ, you may order from the set menu. Some of the best selection from the menu would be Mochi-Mochi, Chicken Slice and Lamb. If you don’t like the list on the set menu. Why not go to the raw food site which located near the Desert side and try out the by choosing the food that you would like to BBQ. The choice is quite limited. Just to name a few would be – Meatball, Seafood Tofu, Prawn, Marinated Chicken, Lamb and Beef and etc.

Next would be the beverage side, the coconut drink was reload faster than Jogoya and Tenji. Why? Because you just ask from them and they will open up for you instantly. Unlike Jogoya and Tenji, they will place it nicely and wait for the customer to take. But after everything was taken, it would take them 5-10 minutes to place them back again. Yaki-Yaki deserve a point here.

Alright, while waiting for the food that you order to arrive, here are some other option for you to get a bite on it. Tempura is the name. Yaki Yaki was one of the fastest to replenish the Tempura. According to the generous employee there, they told me to come back every five minutes for the Tempura. Well, I go there every five minutes to get some of the tempura. Seriously, they taste really nice when it is still hot together with the sauce. Excellent! :)

Beside that, you can request for Temaki Roll. Four different type – California, Abalone (you hear me, ABALONE), Prawn and Salmon. I have tried out all the four and one thing is for sure. Never try Abalone. XD.

Here are some of the picture to tempt you to go to this restaurant.

All the picture are from vkeong.com     

After watching BBQ, did it tempt you to go eat? Somehow it did tempt me to eat. Goosh!! Need to get the tempura on my mouth again. Love it so much. To be honest, the only best food there would be Tempura. Must eat a lot there.

Beside BBQ, the desert is one thing that must be try-out as well. One of them was Coconut Milk Lychee Jelly and another one is semi-circular jelly which I forgot the name. A picture to show you.

So, allow me to introduce to some of the people around my blog to comment on the food. For some reason, they use a picture to represent them. Sorry. No photo for everyone to know who this three monkey was.

 

From left to right is Jonny the Comp Geek, Albert the Hungry and Christopher the Cool

So, we will only be hearing from Albert.

“Well, as what Evan said, the food are perfectly fine and taste really very good. The only problem there is the environment is too dark and too stuff when you had a BBQ. I seriously agree with Evan that the tempura was AWESOME. But the only problem is we cannot take picture. If not, we won’t have to use other people’s work.”

Next would be one of the current game in computer world that is very hot. Yes. I must agree that L4D was fun because of the sense of horror that sometimes freak me out. Oh well, this game still lack of graphic that is more towards perfect but overall it was fun. If you don’t know the game, let me brief you about it.

4 survivor are fighting their way to survive and the only way to survive would be by going to against all the zombies a.k.a infected one. There are some mini-boss zombie inside the game

Here are the mini-boss.

From left to right: Hunter and Smoker

From left to right: Boomer and Tank

The most powerful boss: Witch

And here is the SURVIVOR.

From left to right: Zoey, Francis, Bill and Louis

My friend here will rate this game

“The game was AWESOME but Evan keep saying that the game doesn’t feel good. I know why he say so. He is scared of the horror flick. Oh well, my rating here is based on presentation, graphics, sound and gameplay. I will rate from 1 to 10. Let’s start with the first one.

1. Presentation: 8.5
2. Graphic: 8.5
3. Sound: 8.5
4. Gameplay: 9
5. Overall: A

Great game. Recommended for those who doesn’t faint easily like the host here. Gosh, once you play this game, somehow you won’t feel bored about it and want to continue to play. Trust me, get this game tonight if you haven’t have the game.

*I won’t be posting Sniper review. I will post it up tomorrow together with another movie. X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Releasing on April 29. If you haven’t watch the trailer, watch it here.
