Ten Ichi November Promotions

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Ten Ichi November Promotions

It’s November. So… What are the offers this month? How I wish the RM9.90 offer is still available this month but too bad, only one RM9.90 promo.

This is RM9.90, Deep Fried Salmon Belly with Rice. Personally, I didn’t really like this dish hehehe… Why? It’s easy, deep fried ;p it’s a bit too oily for me when I had it since I had just recovered from a bout of diarrhoea few days ago before eating this.

Next, there’s Kaizeki Sets this month also.

The first set is Kaizeki Set A, original price is RM42 but now you can get it at RM28.90. If you love salmon, you should have this. The salmon is braised with special chef’s sauce. I love it!


Here are the side dishes, Stir Fried Japanese Kimchi and Crab Roll Salad. I like both of them.


More side dishes, Beancurd in Light Ankake Brooth and fruits. Of course you will get miso soup and rice in this set as well. Again, share this set with your friends. So that you can try another set of Kaizeki set too.

The next Kaizeki set is Kaizeki Set B. original price is RM56 but now you can get it at RM36.90

Left: I give two thumbs up to this set! I LOVE them!! See so many type of sushi? Yummy, yum, yum… This kind is the modern type of sushi. Very colourful right? It tasted so tasty too! Give me this again anytime!
Right: Ebi Salad is also very tasty! *SLURP* There’s actually pasta in there with the fish roes WOW! Luxurious food I tell you.


I can’t help it, NAH! Another upclose photo of the sushi ;p

Besidses that, they also come with miso soup, fruit, and Beancurd in Light Ankake Brooth.

Lastly, I recommended this also.

Aburi Salmon Maki, RM18.90. My comment will be I LOVE IT! That’s all I can say. *SLURP*

By the way, it’s not possible to eat the sushi in one go. They are too big unless you have a very big mouth hahaha…

Order them all, they are available everyday. Go with a group of friends and split the cost. Top up RM2 for each of you to get free flow of high quality green tea. Enjoy your meal!

Penang Day 3 – Part 4: Kek Lok Si

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Penang Day 3 – Part 4: Kek Lok Si

Let’s go to Kek Lok Si Temple first. I’ll post about the other thing tomorrow or day later. Only day 3 *LOL* Not even half yet!

In fact Kek Lok Si is very near to where my friends are staying. It’s some sort of walking distant but we drove! :p Too tired to walk. Didn’t know can drive up too. Our friend purposely asked us to park down there.

So we walked up and I was expecting to see scenery on the way up but there were shops on both sides. Very enterprising eh ;p There are shops selling clothings or souvenirs on the way. I bought some souvenirs at the shop nearer to the top, big air-conditioned one.

Aiks… I thought I did edit photos of the views of the shops along the way up but I didn’t ;p

Up we went…


Nothing much to say… Just see photos.


The view from the top.


Left: One of the section of kek Lok Si.
Right: First Inclined Lift in Malaysia. RM4 per person for up and down.


Going up and view from the top.


The Bronze Kuan Yi Statue still under construction. There’s another sub-temple up there.

After that, we went for a rest at our friend’s house before going for dinner.

Next up will be our dinner.

Penang Day 3 – Part 3: Fort Cornwallis

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Penang Day 3 – Part 3: Fort Cornwallis

After the temples, we went to Fort Cornwallis at Gurney. You will learn about the history of Francis Light and so on.


We parked the car along the road which this view is just on the left.


There we went to get ourselves educated about history. I forgot all of them already, it’s a refresher course ;p Still I don’t remember much except the name Francis Light. The entrance is not free, you have to pay. It’s RM3.


Various rooms showcasing artifacts.


Left: This is the pamphlet you will get after you pay. It got all the information in there but I didn’t read. It’s still in my luggage ;p
Right: Staircase leading to… (any word you like to put)


Left: Leading to this! ;p A cannon and view of the sea.
Right: More cannon.


Left, middle: You can pose with the gun and hat. ARG! I failed! Trying to act cool but fail miserably! I should just hold the gun up, instead I tried to act cool like blowing it after shooting, CHEH CRAZY! It’s more like I’m playing some musical instrument. *LOL*
Right: The camps, they are showing you how the British set them up at the fort last time.


Lastly, this is Francis Light’s letter. See the handwriting!?!?! It’s real! It’s not fake. They stored it inside the glass displaying unit. Is this handwriting of a human? I’m sure many of you will say that it’s more like coming out from computer. *LOL* WOW! If only I can write like this.

Next up will be temple post again… Busy, busy, busy…

Everybody Can Fly, Now Go Bankrupt Calling Customer Support

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Everybody Can Fly, Now Go Bankrupt Calling Customer Support

I got my phone bill today and to my horror, there’s a very big figure in there! I’m not happy. I’m angry, angry, angry! I had sent Air Asia this following mail:

    Dear Air Asia,

    I know that the respond time is very slow and I don’t mind waiting as I have the time. What I’m unhappy is how the call is charged.

    Why can’t you have a toll free number? You know that the waiting time is very long and we as the caller have to hang on the phone for so long to speak to a customer support. It’s less than 2 minutes to get the matter fixed but I had to pay the bill of almost 1 hour due to the wait and worst, I’m making a long distant phone call because of your 03 number.

    People had been complaining about the slow respond time and you have to make them pay for the phone bill for such long respond time summore. How good is this?

    If you really want to improve, please give a toll free number. Even though people might be pissed with the waiting time, at least just let them piss for this matter rather than adding to their agony of paying such expensive phone bill!

    I called customer support for the first time wanted to get a spelling error fixed after no respond via email. I waited for about 15 mins and I hung up.

    Then I called again, this time, I waited for almost one hour to get my phone call attended to and hearing the ad rotating and rotating. Now my phone bill comes and the charges is really expensive!

    Everybody can fly, now everybody can go bankrupt calling customer support.

    Your loyal customer that is not happy with your 03 number,
    Irene.

Oh ya ;p I didn’t check my language in there, I didn’t bother anyway.

Whether they will care or not I don’t know. At least this is what I feel about them. So far I never got problem with Air Asia and I’m always being the lucky one. I never got my flight delayed or cancelled or retimed but I’m so not happy with their customer support number.

Penang post will come soon.

Update: GOSH! That’s the thing when you got angry and didn’t check what you had typed before hitting the send button. It was actually one hour of trying, the second call lasted almost half hour, not one hour -.- DAMN! Now I’m making a fool of myself but hey! even though it’s only almost half hour, the charge is damn expensive already!
