Chicken Rice @ Tropicana City Mall

It was around dinner time and we decided to have dinner just opposite Carrefour's entrance at Tropicana City Mall. We ordered a combo set which had a plate of chicken, vegetables and Japanese tofu while my wife ordered a roasted chicken rice.

When our food arrived, I was shocked at the portions that was served on our tables. The pictures on the menu showed a much bigger portion rather than what we were served. I must say, the chef is extremely good with his knife as he managed to slice each piece of chicken roughly 1cm wide.

In total, we paid around RM 25 plus for the crappy portion.

Fried Japanese Tofu

Fried Chicken


Fried Vegetables.. All this for RM 11.90? The portion was so small, I had to order another plate of rice just to fill me up.


As for my wife's chicken rice, the chicken may look big on the picture but in reality, it was chopped up in fine bits that you could actually finish it in 2 mouths full.

So for those of you considering to have a quick meal at this place across Carrefour's entrance, please beware and don't get ripped off by this crappy portioning. It is not value for money at all.

Till my next post.....

Cheers.....

30 going on 31.... (ahem... not forty)

Hmm... it's been a while since I've really had time to sit down and blog about something. I've never really had time these days to actually do it but somehow or rather, it felt like its a good day to do so.

Time passes by very quickly and before you know it, 30 years of our lives has swooshed by us. It felt like it was just yesterday we finished our SPM and moving out to see the real world. Most of my schoolmates furthered their education while others came out to work.

As time passed by, the bonds that we had in school slowly disappeared as we made new friends while studying in college or working. It was then when the modern age technology that has given us the world wide web enabled us to reconnect with our long lost friends. Thanks to the creators of social networking websites like friendster, facebook, multiply and etc we are able to connect to not only your new found friends but to your schoolmates as well. From these site, you will slowly learn that everybody has moved on in their lives and you will see most of your friends are getting married and so on and so forth.

Anyway, one thing that I've learnt in life is, life is never easy for you. No matter how simple the task at hand is, there will always be something or other that will screw up all the plans that you have made leaving you with difficult choices that you have to make. It is always the "I'm damn if I do and I'm damn if I don't" situation and hence, the title of my blog. "Shit Too Happens". Every time you take a few minutes to plan things out, you will definitely receive either a phone call or sms or email saying that something else has cropped up and it will need your urgent attention immediately.

As we are all aging, I finally decided that it is time to settle down even though it was half a year ahead of my actual planned schedule due to certain constraints. (Now don't misinterpret the statement and no my wife is not pregnant.) I finally realized that I've passed the 30 mark and with 25 to 30 years more to my retirement and it is time for me to actually settle down and start a family of my own.

Planning something like this is not easy as we need to look at every aspects in making this work. It would have been easier if I am from a normal family but unfortunately, this is not the case. Having to plan a wedding when both your parents are divorced is definitely not easy as you have to work out a plan to satisfy 3 parties instead of the normal 2 parties that everyone goes through. I never thought things could be so complicated but nevertheless things are being resolved as we speak.

With less then a month to go, things are definitely heating up and the urgency level has raised by 10 times and sometimes I wish things could just run at a faster pace. Preferably at a Intel i7 processor rate.

Well, I'm praying that everything will turn out alright with the plans that we have made and hopefully I will have smooth wedding minus the bickering.

Till my next post....

Cheers......
