...prices for food can be outrageously high!?
my rule of thumb for pricing of food would be, as such ;
1. warong/stall/restaurant with out any decorations... no ambiance. MAX = rm10 per head
2. restaurant with a nice setting. MAX = rm40 per head
3. hotels / buffets. MAX = rm60 per head
hotels... to me i normally AVOID eating in hotels. They love to over charge their food! so becareful you have been warned! hehehe... they do that because they need to get more revenues from their hotel guests. F&B is a big thing in hotels!!! they do get major chunks of profit from this department. RM15 for a glass of friut juice!? don't u let me go there!
restaurants... are the middle ground. sometimes some to overcharge but normally they are ok and some do offer a very good bargain with great food!!!
warong/stalls... i admit even though most are very cheap or 'DIRT' cheap, its because they do serve u DIRT. some are really dirty. some are well organised and very clean! so only eat at stalls you are used to eating or the ones which seems CLEAN! this is important....
where would u go if u want really good food at a very good price? any one care to give it a shot? to me... the best place to eat is always the GOLF Clubs... the good ones that is... firstly to eat there u normally have to have a membership. and normally members do have a say on the food and price of the food there!!! and normally these people do complain a lot! so u'll get cheap and good food. though i've heard some nightmare-ish experience on the food in some Golf Clubs... hehehe... i dunno...
...i personally HATE Picollo Mondo?
firstly, the price... RM50 per person will not get you a decent meal!? what the hell are they selling here? food covered with gold leafs of something?! damn... on top of that the portion is soo urrrghhh small. are they trying to feed an infant here? The food is alright, pizza is ok good. lasagne do avoid. do let start talking of the staff there... first time i went there... they were ok, i just thought they are kinda too busy. second time i went there, i realised they are really really bad waiters. have no idea what i ordered, no where to be seen after taking the orders, extremely unfriendly... so hey that's it. i won't be back.

Picollo Mondo ... a sad sad establishemnt by my standards, though good food, tiny portion, OVER PRICED and on top of that you will be served by a bunch of imbecile! AVOID AVOID AVOID! shh... dont tell anyone, but do you know they will try their best to kill you! how? ...by OVER CHARGING EVERY SINGLE DAMN THING!
...so many place are serving 'berangan' as one of their dish?
ok yg aku cakapkan bukan lah buah berangan... bnyk restaurant skarang yg boleh di klasifikasikan sebagai restaurant 'berangan'. atau restaurant owner dia yg suka berangan... aku pegi restaurant sebab lapar. nak makan. nak makanan sedap. itu yg paling penting... mmg laa atmosphere, ambiance and lighting akan membantu mood and menyedapkan lagi the whole experience of dining. tapi pokok-pangkal nya.... the FOOD has to be GOOD! ini tidak... restaurant cantik, music soothing, lighting dia ever so soft, bau dia so calm and relaxing.... tapi serve ikan yg tak fresh(lebihan2 kucing), over cooked meat(eating charcoal?!), tiny portion(macam for people on diet or do i really have to order the appetiser and desert as well?!), dan lastly over charge your head off! if u cannot get a decent meal under rm40 or max rm50... leave... its so not worth it!
...kita melayu mana la nak makan 3 atau 4 rounds?
mana la nak soup nya, dinner rolls, salads, baru nak the entree lepas tuu ada desert, then lastly coffee or tea? kita melayu biasa makan satu benda per sitting. ini smua pengaruh barat. making eating kat restaurant such a big deal. do i have to dress up like the freaking british to eat in Victoria Station? i think NOT! itu laa aku rasa makanan kat restoran2 berangan yg aku tak suka entree dia portion kecik... sbb dia expect smua org order appetiser la, soups la, salads la, desert lagi... macam2... which in the end come up to excess of rm100 per person! gila tak? ultra berangan!!!
...aku never order other than plain water masa dinner kat restaurants?
hmmm... patut ke aku bayar rm10 for a glass of COKE? dah la bayar mahal for food... which is fine, sbb sedap dan mengenyangkan. but to drink COKE rm10 i dont think so! NO! aku understand, there's a reason for the high price of drinks in nice restaurants. most people do love to use these astablishments for a meeting place. and they normally like the atmosphere and normally the only drink here. and sit for hours sometimes. so, the restaurant need to charge for that, the usage of their restaurant. fair enuf. well i dont drink sugar-laden drinks pun. will only spoil the food for me, so plain water for me thank you very much!
...my back is better?
oh yeah... its better been a good boy laying still on my bed. keeping movement to minimum. keeping good posture and all that really helped. i'm much better now. tak berjalan macam perempuan sarat mengandung lagi! hhahahhahaaa.....
