to kampar for printer

on thursday, went to kampar, the nearest tesco is there instead of going to the one in ipoh. i am sure i am going to stray to jusco if i go to the one in ipoh and spend more money. anyway, went to ipoh last week, so no point going there again.
we decided to have dinner in kampar. went to the first place we saw as soon as turned in. this is a new place, so we decided to give it a try. and after this first time trial, we decided.......no more second time. the food was not good at all....not fresh.

they have staff in red polo shirt and black trousers and they are all quite dumb. they dunno how to speak to customers, you can only see them standing around like mannequins. even when they delivered your order, they would just place them there without telling you what it was. all this kind of service should not be overlooked by employers!
two friends ordered chicken chop, another ordered claypot porridge and i had prawn mee. the soup was all right but the prawns not good. all of us had similar complaint....their ingredients all had been pre-cooked. so when they got the order from the kitchen, they only reheat stuff and put it on the bowl or plate. the fries were too dry and salty. i ordered fried chicken wings too and they were too dry. my prawns were already pre-cooked so it was soggy and soft. the soup was too oily right? the honey lemon drink was too honeyish...not sour at all. one slice of lemon is not enuf lah and the lemon was not exactly juicy. so no more second time.

after dinner, it was off to tesco. the main reason was to get the printer/photocopier/scanner....3 in 1 machine from hp. got it for rm169. normal retail price was rm219. so that was quite a steal. and the promo ends mid of june i think. they still have many when i went. my friend has this and she said it is a good bargain.

i have yet to open it from the box and install it. haha....have to clean up the side table next to the computer station first. no rush.
i also got 2 packets of kacang putih outside tesco. one is for aunt who likes this stuff. they are really fresh. so if you happen to go to tesco kampar, do stop by the kacang putih stall opposite the newstand. no photo to show you here. too excited trying what the seller had to offer.
