Shopping for CNY Goddies

CNY is ard the corner, and it's time to get some goodies. Chinatown is quite an ideal choice as one can find most of the things here. One major put-off, the huge crowd.

First stop @ Lin Chee Guan. I was quite surprise to see a long queue, as CNY is still some 2 wks away. What's even more surprising is that, there's a sign limiting each customer to a maximum of 80 kg of bua gua !! Hmmm..... 80 kg is much much heavier than me, how is the person going to carry home such a heavy load.....

look at the crowd...... =s

This hotel really stands out in the street. Like its decorations and the ambience. Heading home after the last shot of the night.

One Nite Stay @ Meritus Mandarin

Won a one night weekend stay at Meritus Mandarin Hotel back in Dec 09 when we attended the wedding show. Made a reservation @ 2.30pm but was told by the staff to come back an hr later as the room was not ready yet. We went to grab some bites and loiter around Takashimaya and Wisma to pass time.

Came back at 3.30pm and was again advised by the staff to come back another hr later as the room was still not ready yet. What is this ???? I have never encountered such a situation overseas before !! Both of us were not very happy about it. Told the staff that we have already waited for an hr and they want us to wait for another hour ??

After some complain, the staff apologised and upgraded our room to a suite f.o.c . While waiting for the arrangement done, a hotel guest was shouting at the staffs, apparently not happy about their attitude and the long waiting time. He was saying almost all the staffs were serving the guest with an unhappy happy and some staffs were actually idling. Faintz.... Can you imagine if I'm a tourist and i gotta wait 2 hrs before i can check-in ? This will definitely disrupt my itinerary.

Finally checked in @ 3.50pm ......

Burger Bench and Bar

A brand new start to the year. And we also feast our way to a new year. Saw a new fast food outlet at Cineleisure. The shop was simple yet nice. Since this is a Wild Rocket & relish concept, we decided to give it a try. This is quite a nice place to take photo too.
