This entry was long overdue..was supposed to blog about this last week BUT was quite tight up with "something" + waiting for the pictures to be downloaded from those who has brought the digicam on that particular day.
Anne (our colleague) celebrated her birthday at Restaurant Kohinoor @ Waterfront KK on the 9/11/2007 - she shares the same birthday with Maya (Jurra's daughter). Happy Birthday Anne..!!
It was my 1st time dining at this place & was really satisfied with the food & services.......Thanks Anne with your kind hospitality..if not because of you..i won't be able to taste such a unique & tasty food + drink from Northen Indian... Really feel like i was in India for few minutes...with the interesting background music + the bindi on our heads....cool!!
Here are some pics taken..Thanks to "Sindut" for sharing these photos...

Inside view..
Our table..nicely prepared..
No soft drink or any other drinks...Anne just ordered this one...forgot what does it called...It has a weird taste though..Anne said this is good for your health & digestion...It has coriander leaves & some spices in it....well..at least i have tried..
I had a lot of these while waiting for the main dish..
The appetizer...taste nice but TOO sweet for me...
The main dish...Yummy..love the tandoori chicken + chicken massala + the rest (forgot the dish's name)...*drooling*..
Delicious roti nan with 3 types of delicious gravy....YUMMY...
Last menu was served - The rice...& we didn't even finished it...all were too full...
After our last open house visit on the 3rd day of Raya (the one yg ada serve chic wing yg sadap tu) which was on Monday..we went straight to Doulos since the clock shows almost 4 p.m. Plan to go there at night but since the weather is a bit cloudy and not too hot + the kids were still active..told hubs just to go there straight...alang2x mo balik rumah lagi...
Read from the paper that this will be their last visit to Sabah... ..well at least the kids & hubs have the experience to be onboard the Doulos. For me, this was my 2nd visit here...and it was like 16 or 17 yrs ago????!!
First I thought that we can go there straight, search for book & then go back BUT into my surprise there was a looooooooonggggggg queue where people were waiting for their turn to go onboard...waited for almost 20 minutes and we're finally there...
The ship's crews were all friendly....First we were directed to the exhibition hall once we were onboard...ada aircond here...There were many things happening there...the one i wanted to try the most was the international costume from around the world but that area was too crowded with people...You can actually pick any costume you like, wear it & took picture with it....with all the nice backdrops provided....too bad i just have to forget about it...with the kids around...memang tiada peluang!!
Went for a free body painting...Andrea malu2x kucing..she doesn't want to be painted..The lady asked me..."what do you want me to paint?"..told her.."Flower"....Hmm...& this is all i got...
After got my painting, saw one guy wearing a Mexican outfit standing there with a smile..and told hubs.."siok oo kan kalau ko dapat pakai tu baju"...but since tiada tu baju for him..ask for hubs permission.."buli ka sia ambil gambar sama tu Mexican?" and he said "Bah pigi lah"..
The kids were enjoying themselves at the kids corner..sampai ndak mo balik!!..After the short tour at the exhibtion hall, went straight to the book store..it was located at the upper deck...it was an open space shaded with canvas roofing...no aircond!! It was damn warm & hot & crowded with people...susanya mo bernafas....Finally, the kids got what they want - Andrew got himself a Superman book (he's a Superman fan now eversince he watched the Superman Return at HBO last week...so tu Fantastic 4, Spiderman & Ultraman semua kena lupa suda)...And as usual sia punya hahangai ini..she picked the Barbie book..her idol..hehehe..Hubs have to wait for another 15 or 20 minutes in a long queue just to wait for his turn to pay for those books....sampai the kids suda habis makan ice-cream masi lagi he queuing there...*sigh*...
Was supposed to blog about this on Tuesday where this "incident" took place but then my Outlook gave me a lil' bit of problem so I need to fix that one first..buthey..thanks to my Outlook..cuz if not I would have cursed this place like hell!!!
We were all excited on Tuesday noon cuz someone was kind enuf to drive us to Citimall for lunch (thanks to Cin ). At first we wanted to go to the food court but then "Sate Mesra" has caught our attention that afternoon...wanted to try kunun since a lot of promo about this new place everywhere (can find the advert in the newspapers & banners). So off to "Sate Mesra" we went.....
Happy & excited when we 1st got there...siap kasi tunjuk lagi the 5% discount card given to us.
Yati & Cindy impressed..."Wah ada flat screen TV!!!"
But later after that..our temper & anger (especially me & Jurra) has boiled up mebbe up to 100°C suda tu ....Please READ the full story here(MESTI BACA TAU!!)or else you won't understand the rest of my story below...just gonna do a summary since malas suda mo cerita balik!! 7 reasons why you should NOT go & dine at this place:-
1) The service was way tooooooooooooo sloooowwwwww. The lady manager promised me that my Laksa Sarawak will be ready in 6 minutes but it took them more than 1 hour to prepare!!! This was my 1hr+ Laksa Sarawak which has cost me RM9 (15% service tax included)..taste was so-so saja..worth it ka kamu rasa?!?! (note: The laksa that u've seen in this pic was 1/2 way kena makan suda due tu perut kelaparan).
2) Jurra also waited for her "Mesra Chicken Chop" for more than 1 hour & it was served with fork & spoon since they do not have knife...The waitress said.."Ini saja yang kami ada"..
3)The most lousy "Nasi Lemak" ever which costs RM8.88 (kalau campur 15% service tax mau RM10.21 juga)...and Yati did ask for additional sambal...the waitress replied.."Skejap ah..sia tanya dulu"..as if macam ndak buli kena kasi....so stingy!! AND it took them more than 30 minutes to prepare this simple meal!!
4) Very very very poor customer service...The waiter & waitress doesn't know/care how to smile when talk to their customer and wasn't that helpful !! If you notice the pic on your left (click the pic for larger view), there were 3 of them (2 waiters + 1 waitress) chatting near the counter doing nothing...Aren't they suppose to check on their customer whether they have their food served & ready and at least check la kan whether their customer need any assistant?!! Ini...mo panggil dorang pun have to wait when one of them passed by to served the food to the other table...then when we ask them where is our food..dorang jawab ini.."Skejap ah".."Tunggu..skejap lagi"...Adoii..1 jam sjikap ka tu???!!
5) Jurra ordered & paid for a take away cheese cake at the counter but was so frustrated when she opened the "tapau" box in the office kunun mau makan the cheese cake for her tea break..the cheese cake turned out to be just a plain choc cream cake!!!! The bill clearly stated that she paid for a cheese cake...macam mana boleh kasi tapau salah!!
6) The lady manager should by right give us at least some complementary (free meal ka..kasi free satay ka while waiting or at least a free drink ka..) since we have waited for more than 1 hour for our food (kasi cool down la bah sikit kan) but instead she ask Jurra whether she wanted to "tapau" her Chic chop & come and take it later in the afternoon ....Buli juga ah macam tu!!!
7) The reason why the food was served late as explained by the lady manager: "Kami baru saja buka ba kemarin, ada dua saja cook kami and dua2x pun lambat...sorry ahhhh kak..betul2x minta sorry.."....call kami "kakak" lagi tu!!They should not promise to customer if they could not deliver the good in time rite!! If their cook is not available..just tell the customer the truth la..so we won't order the one that required the chef to cook kan!! Apa...mo untung saja ka nie???..told us that the menu that we've selected are all available!! eee...geramm!!
But the best incident of all.....
The angry lady customer which sitted behind us was so damn angry and frustrated (sampai she cannot control suda)...she shouted at one of the waitress (yg muka mcm blur2x).."WHERE'S YOUR BOSS? I WANT TO TALK TO YOUR BOSS!!"...I managed to take a short clip of their "argument" but then since i'm not that qualified paparazzi..this is the best shot that i could take..If you notice...the two ladies which just entered the restauraunt were the one being chase away by the angry lady customer (read the story here if you don't know what i mean)....The skinny guy who is standing there with a bag was trying to cool down the two angry ladies but due to his lack of customer service skills, both of them went off & asking for refund....hehehe....
(p/s: Sorry..suara2x sumbang kami pulak yg kuat...i should be taking the video from the other side bah kan baru ndak ketara....*duh*..)
Maybe they will improve in near future but since they've shown a very bad impression during my 1st visit there...My final conclusion will still be..say "NO" to Mesra Sate...
It's Friday & guess where did we go for our lunch this time........Tadaaa...we tried a new place at Warisan Square a place called "The Chicken Rice Shop"..This place is new I guess...when we first got there..the seats are almost full, luckily there were few more seats left at the 1st floor..
It so happen that si Minah Cantik & Connie were there as well..& waiting for Amelia which was on her way..since their round table where they were sitting still have plenty of seats, we apalagi without kena invite we just joined them dengan muka yang ndak tau malu...hehehe...
I think our table is the most happening out of all..mcm tu kedai makan kami punya saja....The food menu looks good but yet confusing....sampai ada org tu tersalah order..the waitress punya pasal la tu..gave the wrong info.....for more info on this you may refer the full story here - Jurramo & Neneth.
My comment on the food...would prefer the Singapore Chicken Rice at KK Plaza which is far more cheaper & tastier...The one I ordered which is Single Combo Honey Chicken Rice which has costs RM6.50 + Pepsi RM 2.50 (excluding of 5% tax) tasted just so-so...Can you see the amount of chicken served on the plate...banyak ka kamu nampak?? Haven't eaten any piece of them...mcm tu saja kena sedia...well....asal kenyang perut cukup la..
But one thing for sure...I did enjoyed my lunch today with my new & old friends around....so the very happening punya...the pictures can tell bah kan..
p/s...u can see from these pics that all those foods suda kena sapu habis...so licin all the plates.. means that semua pun kelaparan..hehehe...
It's Friday & I do not have to picked up the kids (Charlie yg ambil) which means I will have my "me" time again with the girls hehehe...Joined Neneth & Jurra to CP & met Ujie there. This time, we had our lunch at Secret Recipe @ Palm Square...When we 1st had a look at the menu..someone says.."order saja apa2x kamu mau ah"....we were like "what?"...Then we looked at Jurra.."Betul bah Jurra... ko belanja???"...she nodded & smile...wah we all apa lagi...semua pun happy & senyum lebar trus....Thank you so much ah Jurra ....nanti murah rejeki ko tu....like this saying "The more you give..the more you'll get" ..I can't decide what to eat so just ordered "Fish & Chips" + coke..The rest of them ordered like what you'll see in this pic..
