Love is
It’s been so long since I last blogged. To be honest, I didn’t miss blogging at all for the past 2 weeks! Oh gosh…… Geez…… No!!! I must not let my passion die!!! I want to write!
Love is,
he eats whatever you want to eat even when he doesn’t like it.
Love is,
he goes wherever you want to go even when he doesn’t want to.
Love is,
he still holds your hand even when you’re mad at him.
Love is,
he offers to carry your handbag even when that makes him looks sissy.
Love is,
he will still kiss you even when you have the morning breath.
Love is,
he laughs at your jokes even when they’re not funny.
Love is,
he smiles and calls you “silly” even when you’re clumsy.
Love is,
loving your everything that other men do not love.
~ Ashley
P.S.: Love is, he still loves you even when you’re digging nose. LOL! :D Beat that!

Lucky End of 2011
Year 2011 ended great!
Lucky star was shining upon me at the very last minute! I got the present from the MD, and it’s an iPad2!!! :D Although I have one, who wouldn’t be happy to win another one? :) I was so happy! When the MD called my name, I thought he was joking! LOL!
Un-boxing my new iPad2 :D From the MD. Now, Andrew is using my 16GB whilst the 32GB new iPad2 is mine. Wuahahahahaha…… :P
My boss was telling me not to stop dreaming yet. Just before I managed to ask him what he meant, he handed me a L’Occitane paper bag with a gift box inside. “Here, for you.” I was so surprised! This is the first time he bought me a Christmas gift! Double happiness! :D Andrew was saying it’s an appreciation gift as well. Hahahaha……
It’s a Peony Set! :D Aww… Smell lovely!
On the contrary, I feel a teeny bit of uneasy. Yes, he appreciates what I have contributed thus far, that is also sort of reminding me to continue doing the best. Do you see that invisible “pressure” haloing over my head? -_- Ohmmmm…………..
Will the good luck at the end of year 2011 follow me to the year of 2012????? I hope so! Ah…… Everything is so full of hope now.
I am so full of hope even with the house issue I have with Kubiq.
2012, end of the world or not, let’s live like there’s no tomorrow. :) Cheers!

假
做人，就要会假。
要假得让对方不觉得你在作假，
不是人人皆办得到。
有些，一开口说话，满嘴假话。
惹人厌。
有些，假可爱，爱搞怪。
惹人烦。
有些，装得一副“什么都会”，却是空壳一个。
惹人嫌。
有些，强要写一手好文笔，但没创意。
惹人笑。
作假，一门学问是也。
学不会，就别作假。
免得让人笑、被人嫌、令人烦、讨人厌。
我，
学会假。
在乎的话，或许会对你假。
不在乎的话，懒得理你。
何时真，何时假，
你无从知晓。
作假，生存之道之一。
别说我假。
你亦有作假之时。
作假之人若说我假，
也只不过是，
假！
~ Ashley
别。爱。
别，爱我。
如果不懂疼我。
别，疼我。
如果不削怜惜。
别，留我。
如果不愿珍惜。
别，纵我。
如果不能承担。
别，求我。
如果不想承诺。
看吧，
没那么简单。
想承诺，才求我长相思首。
能承担，才勇敢放纵我。
愿珍惜，才努力留着我。
会怜惜，才继续的疼我。
懂疼我，才来爱我。
爱我，
没那么简单。
做不到，
那就，
别，爱。

我爱。故我信。
先有爱，还是先有信？
我爱你，但我不信你？
我太爱你，所以不信你？
我相信你，所以很爱你？
我相信你，可是我不再爱你？
有爱，有信，就不吃醋？
有爱，无信，才会吃醋？
我爱你，我相信你。
可是，我害怕。
所以，我吃醋。
然后，我撒娇。
希望，你哄我。
你，明白吗？
有时，
无理取闹的背后，
只是我的不安。
等待你来安抚。

With Love
3 good and happy years. :) Happy, is the most important thing in life.
We quarrel and fight like every other couples, there are ups and downs and unhappy moments too. However, the happy ones always outweigh the unhappy ones. I can still say that I am happily married. In fact, Andrew has been showering me with all the love and care. Sometimes I think I am a spoiled child, I throw tantrums just to get more attention.
Last night, I half-heartedly asked him how shall we celebrate this special day, wasn’t expecting him to answer. I was so concentrating on my Smurfs’ Village and I didn’t hear what he said. When I was done with those little blue people and lifted my head, I was surprised to see that we were in KLCC’s car park! Didn’t expect him to really go somewhere for some dinner. He has been picking up the tab for the past few days, so I told him I shall be the “host” for this dinner. He was sweet enough to tell me the dinner would be on himl. :)
He wanted to have the dinner in KiKi, there we were, having a great time in KiKi Taiwan Cuisine.
Top: Andrew’s Sweet & Sour Chicken Set (so expected of him lah). Bottom: Stewed Beef Set. The stewed beef is nice! Must try. The portion is big too, I was so full.
Camwhoring with iPad whilst waiting for the food. The restaurant attendants were looking and giggling at us playing with the iPad camera! LOL!
Wishing myself, Happy Anniversary! May our happy marriage last forever. :)
The Smurfs!
Nope, I’m not a big fan of Smurfs. Used to watch the cartoon Smurfs when I was a child, but I barely remember their names. I only remember the song! Hahahaha. Few months ago when the movie was on, I started humming the tune of the song whenever it came to my mind. Sometimes in the car, out of sudden, until Andrew said, “again?!” LOL. Sometimes in the office… in the shower……
Guess what, there’s this Smurfs’ Village game on the iPad! And, Andrew downloaded it on his Android phone and he too is now so into it!!! I can’t believe that he is “farming”!
Finally, get to watch The Smurfs on DVD. Didn’t go to the cinema as it really didn’t appeal much to me. DVD would do just fine.
Aww…… The Smurfs look so cute in the real world! Ah…… Thanks to the advancement of technology, Smurfs are no longer 2D. :D Love, love, love Smurfette! Okay, seriously, I fell in love with those blue people. :)
Guess everyone now knows about those little blue people living in their own blue community. I do not like the way they run their community though, it’s too monotonous and boring. :P
Oopsie… Time to harvest my crops in the village! Hahahahaha……
Nando’s @ Festival City
After a busy day, Andrew treated me Nando’s! Wuahahahahaha…… 5 days of Korean food, made me missing the variety of food that we have here in Malaysia!
Festival City, located in Danau Kota (or Setapak, along Jalan Genting Kelang), is a newly opened shopping complex. I’ve briefly blogged about it earlier. Good news for me, there’s lots of my favourite food in the mall! :D Since it is so near to where I stay right now, there’s no reason for us to travel to KLCC for Nando’s. Yes, Festival City has Nando’s. *Wide grin*
From the inside of the mall, Nando’s looks rather small. When we walked inside, whoa, it is so huge and there’s an alfresco area facing the lake! The decoration is unique with a little bit of kampung style. We took the seat at the alfresco since it was night time and not too warm. Ahh…… Enjoying my favourite Nando’s with the night view and breeze, fantastic. :D
Look at the presentation of the food, it is so much better than other Nando’s branches! I was served by the attentive restaurant attendants too. All of them greeted me with a smile. My grilled vegetables, came with mushroom!!! Yes, I was so delighted to see the mushroom as it has gone missing on all the grilled vegetables in other branches!
Why is there a double standard across Nando’s branches? Is it because this is a new branch and lesser crowd, so they could afford to provide better service? Does that mean Nando’s compromises its service when there’s crowds? I don’t get it. If one branch could provide such good service, why can’t the rest?
I wouldn’t be going to KLCC and Mid Valley branch anymore since they couldn’t even provide the most basic thing, good service.
Eyuzu Japanese Cuisine @ Eastin Hotel
Few months ago, bought this Shumatsu Japanese Buffet Dinner at Eyuzu Japanese Cuisine, Eastin Hotel, at RM46 nett per person. Being a Japanese food lover (I just can’t stress enough how much I love Japanese food :D ), this is another good opportunity for me to try the different variety of food.
I am a small eater, when it comes to food, I only go for the quality and variety instead of the quantity. I always say I’ll be the losing party if I ever go buffet, ’cause I don’t eat much. I’ll only take a mouthful of everything and that’s it. As for Japanese food, the only thing that I could and would go for second round, is the sashimi.
However, Eyuzu is such a disappointment. We were there earlier, so we walked around the hotel to kill some time. Guess what, I never knew Eastin is such a small hotel until then. Andrew and I just sat by the swimming pool to wait for Eyuzu to open. When Eyuzu did open sharp at 6pm, I was shocked to see the queue was rather long already.
Some drama happened and that pissed me off. When it was our turn, I happily handed my printed vouchers to the lady at the front desk. Note, the front desk was merely a table set far away from the restaurant entrance, speaking of hotel and appearance! The lady took my vouchers, happily noted down the numbers and my name, and she handed the vouchers back to me. Please note this, she handed the vouchers back to me. I heard her turning to her colleague and said “G5″. I guessed that was our table number. But hey, no one came to lead us to the table. Well, I was patient enough to just stand there and wait for someone to come lead us. The lady stood up, dropped some papers, I was kind enough to bend down and picked up the papers for her. She looked at me and thanked me with a smile. Minutes later, I saw people that came after us were being lead to their tables. Why Andrew and I were still standing here and waiting? Out of curiosity, I asked the exact same lady, yes, the exact same lady that got my vouchers and returned them to me and I picked up the papers that she dropped, “why is there nobody leading us to our table”. Oh my, my question was a million dollar jackpot question! The lady, she asked me in return, “have you registered?” Andrew and I went wide-eyed. “Of course I have and you were the one who took my voucher numbers and name”, I replied, still in a polite tone. She asked again, “You have? Where’s your voucher?” My goodness, she was the one who returned the vouchers to me and now she conveniently forgotten about everything! Andrew and I were standing there all the while and she was there too and now she totally forgot who we are. It wasn’t very long ago that she looked at me and thanked me, 5 minutes top! Now she forgot? Is she having some memory loss disease? Is she so forgetful? Or she’s suffering some short-term memory loss illness? Senile? WTF! She shuffled through the book again and told her colleague to lead us to G5. See, G5!!!
If it wasn’t because of the stupid unnecessary drama, I would have gone on with my dinner happily. Just that little drama is good enough to kill my good mood.
The food, gosh…… It’s a hotel, I expected more from the standard of a hotel. I’ve been to Eastin for international buffet before, it was good. However, this Japanese buffet is just a disaster. I have a higher expectation for hotel food, therefore I was disappointed, perhaps I expected too much. But Andrew, someone whose taste bud is not as fussy as mine, isn’t too happy with the food too.
His favorite chicken teriyaki was too hard and bland, he couldn’t even finish the chicken satay that he took, the baked oyster which I think was fine and I went for second one but Andrew thinks it was so-so only, he too didn’t like the grilled shishamo…… All the cooked food, that we thought would be the “safest” of all to eat, eventually turned out to be either too bland or yucky. The beef was so chewy and tasteless! The grilled salmon was overly cooked! The eel was hard and cold! The Japanese pancake sucks big time! The tempura taste like those fried stuff you could get in hawker center. The only thing that I did not complain was the baby octopus. Hahahahahaha…… Oh, and the salmon sashimi. The food sucks to the extent that I didn’t even want to try the rest of the food that I have not tried. @__@
For that kind of price, with that kind of food, RM46 is the maximum that I would pay. If there’s another similar offer again, I would rather spend that RM46 in Tenjin!
Guess what, I only took 3 photos during the dinner. After taking first bite on the food, I lost the confidence and didn’t even bother to take photos anymore. This is the only discounted voucher that I regretted buying.
The fresh salmon and baby octopus. The salmon isn’t the best I’ve had.
The not-so-fresh unagi, soggy gyoza, yucky teriyaki and super yucky tofu.
The chewy and tasteless beef and salmon, soggy shishamo and the just-fine baked oyster.
Tenjin @ Grand Millennium Hotel, KL
A million thanks to Groupon Malaysia, given me the opportunity to dine in this great Japanese cuisine restaurant!
Tenjin, I saw it few months back when I was redeeming the buffet voucher in The Mill, wondering how this Japanese restaurant would fare. When I saw there was a Groupon discounts going on for Tenjin, I immediately grabbed it without hesitation. :D RM29 for a bento set lunch with free flow of green tea! That was a great deal for Japanese food lover like me. If you are a Japanese food lover, you would know that a quality one would definitely cost more than that. Once again, I am not one that would purchase those discounted vouchers just because it is near or cheap.
I went with Andrew, for the first redemption. Yes, I went twice. :D I bought 2 vouchers!!! Hahahaha…… Went the second time with my girlfriends. :) There were 5 sets of bento to choose from, I wasn’t worried of getting the same food.
I have to give thumbs up to the service at Tenjin. Firstly, I received reminder calls from its front desk. Someone named Chloe, called me 2 days before the dates I booked, to remind me of my reservations! How thoughtful they are! When we were in the restaurant, the friendly staffs made us felt so relaxed and never did we feel mistreated for redeeming our vouchers (some restaurants treated voucher redemption as if we were beggars! Hey, we did pay for it ok!). Also, they refilled our green tea without having us to ask for it. Trust me, even Kampachi does not refill as soon as Tenjin does!
Great service, great food, great ambiance, great value…… I will definitely go back for more. :)
They gave Andrew and I the counter seat, what a pleasure. Get to see the chefs work. :)
Did I say I love Japanese salad?? Gosh, the dressing and those salmon/crabmeat on top… Mmm… It simply shouts “Yummy”!
The sashimi that came with the Sashimi & Tori Teriyaki Zen, super fresh and delicious! Does anyone know what is that dark red meat with black skin? It is so fresh that I could taste so much of its rawness and fishy smell. Andrew likes it, I don’t.
The grilled chicken. Andrew said it would taste better if it’s more salty, but to me it is good enough.
My Sushi & Tempura Zen! I love tempura and the sushi that came with the set, gosh… They’re so yummy! The rice is nicely pressed and each of the sushi fits a mouthful! Not too big nor small. The chef is good!
My favorite tempura! Other than yummy, it is still yummy. Hahaha.
Salmon sushi. Perfectly pressed and fresh salmon, what more can I say? :P
Dessert – Green Tea Ice-cream! The best green tea ice-cream I’ve ever had! The green tea aroma is so original!
Oh, not forgetting the chawanmushi, which is full of tiny surprises. Tenjin is definitely not stingy on the ingredients used. The miso soup somehow was rather too salty on my second visit. Guess the chef or someone accidentally added that extra pinch of salt. Hahaha. The presentation of the food, worth 10 marks from me. The chef is pretty particular with the presentation and the cutting of the fresh meat. Oh by the way, the chef is a Japanese. You can definitely get freshly made original Japanese food in Tenjin.
Here’s the food from my second visit. :D
Gintara Teriyaki Zen. The generous piece of cod fish is something I didn’t expect. I thought it would be of smaller size since it is a bento set. Another thumb-up to the generosity of the chef. :) The cod fish taste so nice! The meat was so soft and nicely cooked.
My Makunouchi Bento, with sashimi, tempura and grilled mackerel. Love, love, love every bit of it!
Look at them! What else can I complain? Hahahaha.
I miss Tenjin so much! Must go back for some good happy food someday soon. *Slurps*
Criss Angel, The GHOST
When I first saw Mindfreak on the local TV channel, I was thrilled. I’ve heard father mentioning about this “ghostly” magician before, father called him a “ghost”. Hahahaha. I wanted to see just how amazing this magician is that could make father thinks so highly of, even better than David Copperfield.
I am pretty sceptical of magic. I know they’re just tricks that play with your illusion, there is nothing really magic about them. However, Criss Angel makes me believe in magic all over again.
Criss Angel, a magician and illusionist. His show, Mindfreak, is getting more and more exciting and mind-blowing. For most of it, I know they’re just magic tricks. However, there are some that really got my jaw dropped open and impressed. I now truly understand why would father call him a “ghost”. He even performed stunts that is pretty gruesome.
Just look at this mass levitation (or perhaps hypnotization) by Criss Angel. I’m not sure if he is still playing with our illusion. You be the judge and decide. :)
I am now a total Criss Angel’s fan! :D Criss Angel ROCKS!!! MINDREAK!!!
Laptop Vs. iPad2
What does it imply when I hardly use my lappie? Adoih…… I haven’t been using my lappie for few weeks and I am not missing it at all! Mak oiiiii…… I am now on it just to back-up my iPad! -__-
My laptop has been serving me well, but it starts to give signs of “ageing” recently. Starts slow, the date always stops (CMOS battery is dying), been telling me errors every now and then, respond is damn slow, shutting down also slow, open an application also takes ages…… Sigh. Please, you have been serving me well, don’t die on me just yet! No! At least stay with me for another year. I’ve been taking great care of you, you can’t die, okay?
Speaking of the iPad, I bring it to work occasionally. It’s my best companion when I’m stuck in the traffic jam. I do not need to on my lappie (taking out the cable, mouse, on the switch and put it back into the bag… is troublesome) at night, iPad has the best games that could keep me occupied. I can basically do everything on the iPad, except playing Facebook games, which I don’t play at night.
Now you see, the power of iPad. Again, you wouldn’t understand what I am feeling or going through if you do not have one.
I still love my lappie, but iPad is more convenient now.
I couldn’t thank Steve Jobs enough, for making iPad a reality.
Where is the LOVE?
Can the love for someone really disappear?
Can you tell your spouse that you no longer love him/her?
Can you tell your loved one that you feel nothing for him/her after being in love for many years?
Can we really fall out of love?
What makes one fall out of love?
If a problem arises in a relationship, do you choose to deal with it before you move on?
Or you seek comfort in another relationship before you could get out of this?
I do not understand.
How could one say “I feel nothing for you” after being together for so long?
I do not get it.
How could one not love his/her spouse anymore but could love another person?
I do not see.
How could love disappear?
Where is the love that you have been feeling all this while?
Where is the love that you promised will last forever?
Where is the love that bound us?
Where is it?
The love that once made us whole and happy.
How can it be lost?
How can it be gone?
How can it be taken?
How can you find it in another person?
Where is it?
Where is the love?

Apple Will Never Be The Same
The world lost another great inventor and visionary, Steven Paul Jobs.
I am sure there is a lot of blog posts about the passing of Steve Jobs. I am not going to blog about his life as you can easily read it up in Wikipedia. Here, it is only how I feel about him and his Apple’s products that I owned or own or will own.
I have always felt amazed with Apple’s products. 12 years ago, when I saw an iMac, I thought the design was amazing and pretty, a breakthrough from all the common computers. However, I also thought that it was a luxury item to have, seeing that it cost so much more than a desktop of other brands. To own an iMac, has become my dream. Over the years, the iMac evolved, the desire of wanting it got stronger and stronger. I know I just gotta have it, someday, later. It is no longer a luxury item that I desire, it has become a need for better quality.
When I saw an iPod 10 years ago, I thought that was cool! The smallest MP3 player I’ve ever seen back then! Again, it was something that I could not afford. Even when I could at the later days, I no longer needed an MP3 Player. But it must have felt nice to have one.
There came the MacBook. OMG! A white laptop! WHITE! I was gasping when I saw the white MacBook. Again, the price was a big hinder and I stopped fantasizing of owning one. Then the MacBook Air!!! I started to salute Steve Jobs for his never-ending creativity and ideas.
The iPhone! It is pure God’s gift to human. A touch screen handphone, from Steve Jobs. When I touched it, I knew I was doomed. I knew I was going to have one or I’d never change my handphone. I was a proud and happy owner of an iPhone 3G, for 1 and a half years, until my carelessness do us part. The pain of losing it, still hit me every now and then, and I still miss it. I have a great Android phone now, but I still miss my iPhone. It’s weird, that when you have something greater and nicer but you still miss the old one.
If it isn’t because of the weight of the iPhone 4, I would have owned one too today. iPhone 4 is just too heavy to me and I do not feel the comfortability that I used to feel with iPhone 3G when I held it in my hand. I was no longer an iDevice user, for 6 months.
I was so tempted to get an iPad but I waited. When iPad 2 launched, on its very first day I went all the way to Klang to queue. With the iPad 2 in my hand, I felt a sense of relieve and ecstatic. Relieved as I am once again owning an iDevice, ecstatic because I was thrilled with the white iPad. Yes, call me silly, that’s how I felt to have an Apple.
Am I an Apple fan? Yes, I definitely am. Am I a Steve Jobs fan? Yes, no question about it. However, now that Steve Jobs is gone, I am not so sure if I would still be fascinated and excited with Apple’s new products. I stand firm on getting an iMac when I am able to in the future, but any new products from now on without Steve Jobs in the picture, I am not so sure. I believe the engineers and Tim Cook will do their best to continue Jobs’ legacy, but it is just NOT him anymore. Apple without Steve Jobs (although he stepped down from CEO quite some time ago, now he is gone forever), is different.
Steve Jobs is gone, and he took a part of the passion I have for Apple with him.
Farewell, Steve Jobs. May you rest in peace. We love(d) you, and thanks for all the wonderful things you’ve created. You will never be forgotten.

Loving Chuck Taylor
Converse, something that I dreamed to have during secondary school. It was considered a luxury thing as it was way more expensive than a pair of common white shoes for school.
After college, the need to have a pair of Converse never came. I’ve been wearing heels and sandals, for work and casual. I now wear a lot of Crocs for the comfort and convenience. The price of a pair of Crocs is going up like nobody’s business! After third pair of Crocs and I decided it’s time to stop. RM139 for a pair of rubber is just too much.
I wasn’t hunting for any shoes, as my Crocs is still new. Somehow, that love for Converse crept back a while ago. Blame it on Glee I must say. Hahahaha. Revisiting season 1 of Glee and I paid more attention to their fashion. Converse appeared in the show quite a number of times. I fell in love with it all over again and that dream to have one is back.
Finally, after some thoughts, I am a proud owner of my first red hot Chuck Taylor All Star Classic. :D Gosh, loving every bit of it.
However, Andrew isn’t a fan of Converse and to him, this type of shoes is ugly and he just couldn’t accep it. Hahahaha. Again, it’s individual preferences (ah, it’s been a while since I last used this phrase :p) and likings.
How long is this pair going to last? Long time I guess. ;)
Do you have your favorite Converse?
Nando’s During Public Holiday
First day of Raya, went to Mid Valley. Been craving for Nando’s for weeks! So, there I was, having Nando’s during Raya. :D
When the meal was served, I wasn’t too happy.
This is Andrew’s order, the amount of fries, lesser than what we usually get. It’s ok, he could still live with that.
This is mine. The whole thing just wasn’t in good presentation, the sauce was all over the plate, the rice was “messy”, and my favorite grilled vegetables, were missing the usual mushrooms, cucumber and brinjal. All I got was carrot and bell peppers. :(
I was famished and since it was a Raya, I thought perhaps there was some shortage of supplies, didn’t really bother much. Was just surprised that the standard of Nando’s was compromised because of public holiday. At the very least, this time they gave me a spoon whereby usually I had to eat the rice with the fork. Hahahahaha.
It’s alright, it’s Raya, maaf zahir dan batin.
Perhaps I should stick to Nando’s KLCC. The service there is also better.
Muse Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar, Jaya One
Bought a discounted coupon from Groupon Malaysia last month, Italian pizza and pasta dinner for 2 at only RM28 instead of RM75.90, at Muse Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar in Jaya One.
All these discounted coupons websites are so hot right now. However, I am very particular with the food and location. If it is something nice that is worth to travel, I do not mind. If it is something which I don’t see special in it, I would not bother to try even if it is just next to where I stay or if it is dirt cheap. I would not want to compromise my taste bud for some cheap food. :P The first time I redeemed the coupon was 2 months ago, with Melissa and Christine, The Mill buffet at RM39.90. That was a good one and worth every penny!
Jaya One is a shopping complex located in Petaling Jaya. My first time there, it was a Saturday evening, but it was quiet! Most of the shops were closed, only the restaurants in Palm Square were open. Palm Square is where all the food & beverages are, quite a unique place with the open-air boulevard. It was considered quiet for a Saturday evening. Another failing shopping complex?
Muse is in the centre, opposite Starbucks. The environment is okay except that there was some renovations going on, the constant drilling noise is a big put-off. It was noisy even when we were in the restaurant. Romantic and quiet? Not really.
So, we get to choose from 2 types of pasta and pizzas. I am very particular with beef, so I told Andrew that we should go for the Seafood Aglio Olio Angel Hair. For the pizza, the Chicken Triple Crown Pizza just sounds more delicious than the Beef Up Pizza. :D
Soup of the day, tomato cream soup. Ahh…… Very appetizing and original. :) Love it.
Seafood Aglio Olio Angel Hair. The portion is big!!! It is nice. But sorry that I think the one in Suria KLCC Signatures food court is better. This one is pretty dry, luckily the taste make up for it. The portion is so big that we didn’t manage to finish it.
Chicken Triple Crown Pizza. Oh boy, this looks so much different from the photo in Groupon! However, it is delicious, crispy on the crust but cheesy on the top. Andrew and I finished the whole thing! :D
Orange and pineapple juice, add on, at RM8++ each. Not fresh juices though, just syrup. :(
At the end, we paid an additional RM18.50 for the drinks. We were thinking since we were already eating so cheap with the coupon, paying little extra makes both parties happy too. We saw other tables were not having any drinks, Andrew said, “not sure how they’re going to swallow all those thing without a single sip of water”. Hahahahahaha……
I was so full after a good meal! The food is good, I would love to go back for their pizzas, but the location is a killer for me. And, to pay full price for that? No, I have better option than Muse. Honestly, Chillis and TGIF are better.
So, if you’re in the area and don’t mind paying that little extra, Muse is an OK place to go.
