Tell me a story…

…a potato story!

LOL!!!

Actually, I dropped by this megamall here as I was expecting to see some really elaborate Christmas decorations like what they had last year or the year before and they did have something very nice for the Gawai Dayak Festival earlier this year too and also for Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything much other than this…

…and a little bit here and there – nothing grand, nothing impressive…and nothing worth making one’s way there to see. Perhaps times are really hard with our rather depressing economy the way it is at this point in time and they have decided not to put up anything much this year or maybe it is not December yet so they have not got round to it yet.

Ah well!!! Since we were there, I thought we would just check out this place…

*Wish they would put away the mop and broom and whatever stuff some place else*

…as a few days earlier, an ex-colleague of mine shared a photo of what he had on Facebook and was praising it to the skies. Now the problem was I did not take note of what flavour he had that he enjoyed so much so we just settled for the seaweed cheese (RM4.90, inclusive of GST)…

…which was quite nice.

We saw that they had these cone pizzas as well…

…but we did not order any to try as it looked like something wrapped in a slice of bread but it turned out that there was a little bit more than that…

I saw them torching the thing before they served it to a customer who wanted one of those.

Then I spotted the mash potato [SIC]…

…and I asked for the cheesy mayo (RM5.90, inclusive of GST)…

…which we thought was pretty o.k. as well but I do not like mashed potatoes this fine…

…and I would very much prefer what I would make myself at home.

All in all, I would say what we had were quite o.k. To me, this place looks like a franchise – all the flavourings and everything seems to come in sealed packs and containers and I guess this would appeal more to the younger and trendier set. Old fogies like me would much sooner go for things very much cheaper…and to people like us, a whole lot nicer like a simple plate of kampua noodles and a glass of kopi-o-peng at some NCAA (no class at all) coffee shop and still have enough money left for another round some other day.
