Leisure: Sunway Pyramid Christmas Decorations 2013

Dear All,

Christmas holidays is back again and this time around we are on yet another mall marathon but this time we only tour to major shopping malls around the Klang Valley. Our first stop this year would be at Sunway Pyramid. This year Christmas Theme is called Faerie Dreams 2013.

 Featuring the beautiful faerie tales with White Christmas theme but unfortunately the decoration is just so-so. There's nothing much to see over there except the white Christmas tree and then the most notable piece of decoration that is nice would be the fairy wings which patrons can actually take photos. There are several spots for you to take photos throughout the mall including the old and new wing and from what I discovered is that the new wing decorations is much better than the ones at old wing. Also not forgetting if you're lucky, you are able to see a beautiful fairy as well as the Sunway Pyramid mascot touring around the mall giving away freebies and photo session with the patrons. Among other events including making donations to the needy where you stand a chance to take photos of yourself and in the same time donating to charity.

Overall, the mall decorations is just so-so in my opinion and nothing so special to shout about. I am a bit dissapointed when I visit the mall here just to see the Christmas Decorations but at least some shopping spree make my day today as well. Enjoy your Christmas Shopping. MY RATING: 3/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

Food Hunt: Bear Paw (熊手包), Kota Damansara

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt. Today ME & Kimmy had visited Bear Paw located at Kota Damansara and on press time, it's their opening of a new branch recently there. We reached the restaurant at about 2.00pm and the crowd is very less and many who came to the restaurant ordered a take-away. This is what we've ordered:

1.) Set 3 Bear Paw: Milk Bun, Fish and Tartar Sauce with Passion Fruit Green Tea (RM13.90)
2.) B Rice Series: 1 Pcs Chicken, 1 Pcs Spicy Chicken with Thai Sauce (RM12.90)
3.) Assam Black Tea (RM5.90)
4.) Add On Wedges (RM2.00) (With Set Only)

We waited for about 8 minutes before the food to be served to us. Of course once you've done your payment, you have to wait for your number for your turn and you have to take it yourself. Let's go straight to the food comments. The Set 3 Bear Paw which consists of Milk Bun, Fish and Tartar Sauce is very good indeed. The bun is soft and tender while the fish is absolutely nice and it would melt on your mouth as well. The tartar sauce is very nice too. You should give it a try. The Passion Fruit Green Tea is also very nice and tasty and the portion is really huge. It's worth the money we pay. For the B Rice Series which consists of 1 pieces of Chicken, 1 pieces of Spicy Chicken with Thai Sauce. The chicken are fried into perfection and nice to eat as well. Both chicken types are recommended to you. The Assam Black Tea is also must a try when you visit this restaurant. Meanwhile the wedges is just so-so and nothing so special.

Bear Paw + Wedges

Assam Black Tea & Passion Fruit Green Tea

B Rice Series

We paid for RM34.70 in total and I think the price is pretty reasonable. The food overall here is pretty good if compared to Kota Kemuning Branch which we reviewed earlier on. Also not forgetting the drinks portion which is huge too. I would strongly recommend you to come over here to Bear Paw located at Kota Damansara to enjoy your meal.

Food Hunt: Texas Chicken, Empire Damansara, Petaling Jaya

Dear All,

Welcome back to yet another edition of Food Hunt where ME & Kimmy embarked another journey of food and it's been a long time that we've continue to search for good food and today we are in the mood again. This time around we have chosen another new fast food chain that has landed in Malaysia. Introducing Texas Chicken, a fast food chicken outlet has arrived at Empire Damansara. Empire Damansara is a new place developed by the Empire Group situated at Mutiara Damansara. It's a huge place but there's only 10% of tenant while 90% are not tenanted.

 We reached the place at around 2.00pm and the crowd is average today. Since it's after lunch time, the situation is under control but according to sources when you come during peak lunch and dinner hours, you will have hard time find a place to sit and you have to overcome a large queue. We manage to find out seat after ordering. This is what we've ordered:

1.) 2pcs BIG Combo Chicken X 2 (RM10.70 per set) (1 set Spicy + 1 set Original Flavour)
     Consists Of: 1pc Biscuits, 1pc Coleslaw, 1pc Mashed Potatoes & 1pcs Soft Drinks 
     (Unlimited Refill)

This restaurant does not only sells chicken but they also sell burgers that comes with fries and unlimited refills of soft drinks. The portion of the chicken is really huge and worth the money we pay. The taste of the chicken is good and not too oily but most importantly it's huge in size. The mashed potato and coleslaw is nice too and highly recommended to try. It's on par or even slightly better compared with Kentucky Fried Chicken and Mcdonalds outlets in terms of the chicken. Now they only have a few outlets in the Klang Valley but do stay tuned as they will have more outlets soon. Do check out their website for more information.

The price we pay is around RM22.00++ including a 6% Service Tax for 2 sets that we ordered. The price is almost the same like any other fast food outlets in Malaysia but the size of the chicken is big, tender and juicy and it's worth the money we pay for. Not only that, this also applies for its Mashed Potato and Coleslaw as well. Trust me, Texas Chicken is good and worth to try. I would strongly recommend you to come over here to try out and enjoy the food! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

_____________________________________________________

My Comments: It was a great day as today ME & Kimmy had visit GSC Tropicana City Mall to purposely catch one of the most anticipated movie of the year 2013. Introducing Thor The Dark World. Marvel comics are back once again and my expectations is high in this movie. Starring a lot of famous actor and actress in there and the most notable ones are Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Natalie Portman (Jane) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki). The storyline was perfect and great and it was a twist and turn strategy used in this movie. It was quite boring for the first 20 minutes and it started to pick up after that all the way till the end of this movie. The battle is between Asgard and an ancient race led by Malekith. The battle then continues to earth where it involves a human named Jane and it is Thor's girlfriend. It was a great battle between Thor and Malekith and you guess who will win? This movie contains a few elements combined including jokes, action, love as well as sad scenes which could make you cry. In certain times, this movie is funny too. I would strongly recommend you to watch this movie even if you're not a big fan of Marvel as this is a great and nearly to perfection Superhero movie. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
