friday eat out

i can't believe the amount of food i stuffed into my stomach on friday! it was like eat-all-you-can. do i really need so much food?? i think it was more like liberation because yippee!! it was friday and the workpile on the table had been reduced by quite a lot.

so first up, lunch at bidor curry house. i actually had food at home, but when a colleague asked if i wanted to join her, what the heck...i felt like some curry.

this is what i had, two pieces of chicken, fried cauliflower and papadom. i am greedy and a carnivor! that cost me rm6.50. it is so expensive to eat nasi kandar. the smaller plate opposite mine cost rm9, with white squid and fish, fried bitter gourd and small pieces of chicken.
it was filling all right. i felt like vomitting when i went jogging at 5p.m. but i just pushed myself to finish the route because it had been a few days since we had a sunny evening. plus, there was the dinner to burn away.

so at 7p.m.....dinner time. well, not so fast actually. let us drive to teluk intan first. so 7 of us in an unser, drove to teluk intan in the rain. it wasn't raining in teluk intan so we were dry.

the famous landmark of teluk intan, our malaysia's own leaning tower. this tower is already more than 120 years old. my sony k801 cybershot mobile phone does not disappoint me. we went for a stroll at the square after dinner. and oh, the clock of this tower is actually brought in all the way from london. and we were lucky to be able to hear it chime 10 times (10p.m.) i feel so privileged and proud to see this pagoda-like structure.

oh, back to dinner. venue: pizza hut. ok...crazy 7 who drove all the way from bidor to t. intan for pizza. when u are with friends you enjoy being with, anything is fun and fine. so had a filling meal of stuffing myself with unhealthy dough. but the mantra for the night was: eat first, the rest- figure it out after eating. this pizza hut got poor mark for its hospitality...and i have notified pizza hut malaysia about it by filling in their customer feedback form in their website. you watch out! waited 1 hour for 2 deli wings and poorly stocked salad bar (less than 10 pieces of raisins), etc. am i addicted to making complaints? no...i am just doing it for their own good. reeeallly!

the last stop after hearing the clock chime- mcdonalds. yeah, the golden arches have invaded teluk intan. from bidor, you will see road signs indicating the distance to reach this restaurant. 42km, 40km, 30km, on and on. this place was packed on a friday night. no wi-fi but there is a tv outside and families with kids were enjoying their supper of fries and sundaes while teenagers who had just finished their basketball practice congregated here. how healthy.

we still have space in our tummies? well, let the feast continue with desserts. the main purpose of stopping here was for the banana pies for tomorrow (not me) but almost everyone ended up with sundaes as well. see, when you are happy, you will eat more!

since my gluttony started in the afternoon already, the supper is no exception. mcflurry cornetto strawberry. yummy. but the size! oh...how small you have become! and the price is rm4.75. well, i think it will be a long time before i have another cup...unless someone treats me one. hehehe...burp!
and look- caught on the way out. the one in red wondering 'how much could you dig out from the small cup?/ are you going to finish everything yourself?'
