Want to eat one of the best asam laksas in KL?

This post is long overdue because of several factors. I have been busy with my studies as the previous weeks was hell doing assignments. Exams is next week and I am just slotting this up. The other reason is my phone went dead and I am not rich enough to afford a DSLR to take pictures. So any company wants me to review their camera could contact me.

It's been a long time since I ate laksa back in Penang and the taste of those asam laksa in KL was no match for those good ones in Penang. That is till I visited one of the laksa stalls in KL several weeks back and found it to be real good. One of the best laksa I have eaten that I gave it a 2 thumbs up. So I went back to this laksa stall last weekend to eat and take pictures for this review. No I am not paid for this. I even need to pay for my laksa ok?

So what so special about this stall? It had been here right in the middle of KL for so many years, gaining customers yet remained hidden from most of us who had been in and out of this popular street. If it's not for the heavy rain and empty stomach, I wouldn't have bumped into this stall. So here are some pictures. Mind the pictures for being unclear. Don't complain unless you wanna sponsor me a DSLR.


See a lot of people right? People mountain people sea.(chinese proverb for a huge crowd). The laksa they serve is hot and you can smell it from a block away.

I can't wait to just swallow up the whole bowl. So that's why you don't see much fish. In fact there are a whole lot more of them. Blame me for being too hungry. Fresh fish are used and not those canned sardines we eat outside.

There is always one thing that is a must have with asam laksa. Know what is it? It's the shrimp sauce or what some call the prawn sauce. If you have laksa anywhere else you will be given with a spoon of it only and not to mention the additional charges. This stall? Saw the black sauce in the aluminum bowl? Yes, you are free to pour the whole bowl into your laksa with no additional charges.

See? Once the hot laksa arrives, you can't tahan(stand it) and wants to finish it on the spot. Oh yeah before I forget, there is always the chilli bowl if you want to add more spicyness to it but trust me for an average eater like me, the original spiciness is already enough to make you sweat on a rainy day.

Review details:-
Location - Petaling Street next to Menara Pak Peng. It's the location where in the morning, it's the market.
Opening Hours - After 3.30 everyday.
Cost - RM4.50 for big and 3.50 for small(price may go up but it's listed) + RM 1 for a cup of nice warm barley.
Additional note - Don't talk silently that you wish you had a fork. Even though the auntie selling laksa might be old, her hearing is a perfect 10. I did that and she brought me a fork. Talk about getting owned.
My rating - 2 thumbs up. Competitive to those in Penang minus the time and cost to travel to Penang. At least 4 out of 5 stars.

How to make everything out of nothing

I should really tag zewt for this since it's accounting related. Well I am sure he would drop by. Hahaha.

There was this friend of mine who had just graduated from one of the business school. He searched for a job for some time till he found an ad for an accountant. Then he just call up and was set up with an interview. It's a small business ran by an old man. Below is what that guy told me of what happened during the interview.

Boss: I need someone with an accounting degree and I see you have one with good results. This job you see, is mainly because I'm looking for someone to do my worrying for me.

Friend: Huh?

Boss: You see, I worry about a lot of things and one of the major things is I don't want to have to worry about money. Your job will be to take all the money worries off my back. So can you?

Friend: I see and how much does the job pays?

Boss: I'll start you at eighty thousand. How does that sound?

Friend: Eighty thousand dollars! That is a real good deal for a fresh graduate like me. Anyway, how can such a small business afford a sum like that?

Boss: That, is your first worry.

My friend never accepted that job...

Imagine you hear this while you are on the plane. This is a must read!

This blog idea is stuck in my head for the past whole day after the train ride where announcements are made frequently over the loudspeaker and the noisy neighbors at 2.30 in the morning gave me the headache which made this idea stuck so I decided to blog about this. Imagine you are on the plane when you hear this:-



"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking welcoming you on board our airline. We apologize for the 4 days delay in taking off owing to bad weather and some overtime I had put in the Bar.

This is Flight 123 to the US. Landing in US is not a guarantee but we will end up somewhere in the west. And if Lady Luck is with us, we may even be landing on your village farm.

Our airline has an excellent record for safety. In fact our safety standards are so high that even the terrorists are afraid to fly with us. It is with pleasure that I announce that starting this year, over 50% of our passengers have reached their destination safe or otherwise. For those that did't quite make it, our airline staffs have all the requisite experience for consoling their next of kin. Our front desk will be happy to brief your next of kin on our "out of court settlement".

If our engines are too noisy for you, on your request, we could arrange for them to be turned off. To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable we serve complimentary tea and biscuits. For our religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God! So do enjoy the journey to god fully.

We also regret to inform you that today's in-flight movie will not be shown as we had forgotten to record it from the television last night but for our movie buffs we will be flying right next to another airline's aircraft so the movie will be visible from the right side of your window.

This plane is a strictly no smoking plane so should you see any smoke in the cabin, don't panic. it is just our early warning system on the engines, telling us to slow down!

Life jackets are positioned under the seats. Free bathing costumes are available to the aunties and swimming shorts for the uncles to cater for the emergency jumps. In order to catch important land marks, we try to fly as close as possible to the ground for the best view. If however you would like to have a closer look, do not hesitate to let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilots sometimes flies right through the landmark just to fulfill passengers requests.

Kindly be seated and keep your seat in an upright position for take off and fasten your seat belts. For those of you who cannot find a seat belt, fasten your own belt to the arm of your chair and for those of you who cannot find a seat do not hesitate to get in touch with a flight attendant to get your suitcase.

No that is not it. This is the killer!

Lastly, sorry!! But I won't be flying with you all today because I have to attend my nephew's wedding. But please make yourself at home and help yourself to the cockpit. Thank you for choosing our airline. Have a pleasant journey."

Hope you guys enjoyed this bloody long post of mine. This post is purely fictional and for entertainment purposes and doesn't in reality or otherwise has anything to do with any of the airlines.

Would I go back to Krispy Kreme? Yes!

If you do not know what happened previously go read HERE. Today I met with their Senior Operations Manager and their Assistant Marketing Manager regarding the complain I made. Yes I am serious. I thought my complain just landed somewhere in the recycle bin till I got an email from them yesterday telling they would like to meet me up with me today. I was like "Oh sh!t, Are they gonna eat me up?"

Comes out that they are quite nice and sincere people when apologizing for what I went through. Never expected such sincere apologies from a down to earth service oriented cheerful Senior Manager. Never expected anything from them actually but just to let them know what happened so that it wouldn't happen again. What I least expected was a Senior Manager to turn up to have doughnut and coffee breakfast for this. Well his apology came with an acceptable explanation. It's the logistic(New outlet ma. What you expect? Give chance for them to improve la) and the manager in charge got fired for this. Sigh. I never expected to break the rice bowl of another person so now I felt bad about it but that is the way the world is. What we can do is we learn from mistakes and rectify them.

When I arrived today, the staffs really look different. In terms of friendly's and service oriented. I felt so much at home today compared to what happened previously. It somehow relieved me of the frustrations I had the previous week. To top that up, I am touched by the sincerity of the humble Senior Manager. Hey since when does Senior Managers meet up with customers just to apologize? I started to think, if say all the people in any service industry would be to be like him, I think business would really prosper but then this is what that really differentiates them from the rest. After today's session with them and the change I saw in the attitude of the staffs, I would definitely visit the store again.

Yes the sugar rush to the brain is energizing and the coffee makes you refreshed. One advice. Drink your coffee before you have your doughnuts. Else you would feel that the coffee has no sugar. Hahaha. For me it's ok because I often have coffee without sugar. The bitterness keeps me awake more than the caffeine does anyways.

And NO! I am not paid to write this up lol unless you take having latte and doughnuts for breakfast on them as a bribe. Hahaha. And I mean it when I said I felt bad that the fella got fired for this. Maybe they should give him a second chance. I think he would do his duty better this time.

Still wanna go Krispy Kreme? Read this and think twice

Read this before even going over to the Sunway outlet. Seriously they need to improve on their service and customer service. Yes I am a nice person and there are limits which I could tolerate. I told myself not to blog till I finished all my assignments. Yes I have stopped blogging ever since the horde of assignments came in. The opening ceremony itself had already left a sour taste in the mouth of a lot of existing/potential customers. I didn't want to blog about this but well I just can't stand it anymore. 1 bloody week over and no good answer? So I will just vent my frustrations here.

I went to the newly opened Sunway outlet on Monday(19th) morning to grab a few for breakfast in the morning. I arrived at 10(actually much earlier than that) and the main gate is open to show that the outlet is open but there are no doughnuts on the shelf which is the start of my disappointment. Wait lo what to do? Wait till 10 still no doughnuts.

What was more disappointing was the staffs there are busy cleaning up(sweeping the floor and wiping the tables) the premise but where are the doughnuts? Shouldn't the cleaning be done the previous night or on a worse case be done before opening the premise? Shouldn't doughnuts be on sale when the doors are open? I asked and one of the staff told me the doughnuts are not there yet. I felt like asking the staff "What the f*ck do you mean that the doughnuts are not here yet?". Where are the f*cking doughnuts then? I saw another guy sitting inside which I assume is waiting for his doughnuts too.

Then after 15 to 20 minutes, I saw the doughnuts are here in their green casing. The staffs are then busy preparing them. After a while I walked in but the staffs are too busy to entertain me and continued with their preparation of doughnuts. Yes, a few others and me are treated as if we are invisible. I waited for a bloody half hour outside and this is how customers are treated? I feel like screaming NIAMAH!! on the top of my lungs.

Finally I got fed up and gave up waiting to be served so I headed for Mc Donalds for my breakfast instead. RM4 is so much cheaper. You get unlimited coffee refills too. Before I left I can see that the staff there are still wiping the shelves busy putting doughnuts out while those waiting are still looking at them doing their job. If the store is not ready to serve doughnuts then don't bloody open the door and make your customers wait for over half an hour but not serve them where the doughnuts are there. Do the cleaning before opening and not during or after opening. Get the doughnuts done earlier or open later.

Talking about service and feedback efficiency, I sent an email on Monday to their email which I think still goes into the recycle bin at the end of the day anyways. Yes the Asst Marketing Manager did reply me on Thu at 1 am in the morning asking for my contacts. I gave but still no reply from them or any calls from them for me to vent my anger. So why bother waiting? Blog about it to vent my frustrations better.

Talking about the opening. The event was already bad enough. Read them here and here.

Edit(26/10/09) - Felt so much better after the apology I got from them. Read what happened HERE.

Puppy!!!

After the last innocent kid post here, here is another one. Well kids does says the darnest things but in Malaysia, you never know. LoL!

A small kid and his dad were walking on the street whan they saw two dogs having sex. The small kid asked his father "Daddy, what are they doing?" *pointing at the dogs
The dad said, "Oh! They are making a puppy".

A few days later, the small kid walks in on his parents having sex.

The small kid says "Daddy, what are you doing?"
The dad replied, "Making a baby here."

Guess what the kid say now?

The kid said
"Hmmmm, can you please flip Mommy around? I'd rather have a puppy instead!"
