Perak Day's Celebration

Today is Sultan Perak's official birthday, most working Perakians are not working today... employees like me welcome this holiday with a cheery heart... so how did I spend my day?

Woke up around 9am to the sound of my handphone alarm... made an appointment to go out for breakfast with my old best friend the day before... by 10am, we were off to a dim sum galore in one of the restaurants in town....

very crowded...
din't really like the dim sum this morning
most of the food were quite cold already...
anyway, ordered quite a bit and ended up
RM40.00 poorer.. ($17usd)

After the breakfast, we went to Jaya Jusco to walk-walk
and ended up for our lunch in Secret Recipe

I ordered a shepherd pie... hmmm...
not so nice... I didn't really like it...

we ordered a lasagna too...
not bad but nothing to shout about...

and for dessert, we had a mango cake...
our lunch cost RM40 ($17)

After our lunch and buying some stuff, we went home ... as usual, did some blogging here and surfing for a few hours... and then by 6pm, someone was complaining she was hungry again....

we went to a restaurant in Greentown Business Centre
we had three dishes.. consisting of...

salted steamed chicken.. i like this..

4 kinds of vegetables with sambal (spicy)

and their signature beancurd with minced meat...
the bill came to RM57.00
(which was really over-priced!)

Total Damage for today came to RM137.00!

Well, I guess it is "safe to save" on a working day!
LOL....

  8. Haha... spend till you drop! But that's ok as long as it's not a habitual action.
    Just a little correction: That's not Shepherd's Pie but Gourmet Pie, which I think its taste is not as appealing as the former because of the creaminess of the soup inside. The lid is ok though it's on the greasy side. Do you agree?

  9. a hefty damage. But worth it for the stomach I guess. Glad you enjoyed your day off Claire!
