Bloggers Meeting

A lil upset so gonna write about something happy: the small little bloggers meeting we had! Consisting of only five people: E, his 'big sis' YL, J, her darling boyfriend I, and myself.

We settled on Prego at the Westin Hotel in Bukit Bintang cuz there were two cabonara lovers and three anything-will-do people? Hahaha

The place is POSH, dunno what possessed E and i to park in the hotel parking. Scary, look at that.


The Italian restaurent was dim. Formal. Pretty much fine dining. Romantic. J and I were in thier own little world most of the time. Didn't take much photos of the place cuz i felt kinda weird taking out my camera... must be more thick skinned next time.

Upon speaking to the waitress before ordering, we found out that, just as said in a magazine review, the portions are tiny. Suitable for kids! Haha. Normal is tiny. Big is normal. Haha! YL ordered a ceasars salad and then one of the small portioned alfrado, if i spelt it correctly.

There u go. The portion is about the size of her fist. Even salt and pepper shakers are bigger. RM20.

Just as we were about to leave, there was upbeat music and a belly dancer dancing! Nice, too bad we were about to leave.

Guess how much parking costs? RM8!!! Shit, for the two hours we've been in there? Oh my god. I spent RM40 that night:
  • RM22 for my secondi (large) aglio-olio house made egg fettucine which wasn't great. Bestfriend's boyfriend's is ten times better, with more ingredients- tuna and cherry tomato. Must remember to tell her that.
  • RM6 for the freaking tax and stupid service charge.
  • And gasp! RM20 divide by 5 people- RM4 for the bottle of sparkling water we didn't even ask for. Which tastes funny, as expected, drank sparkling water at my parents anniversary when i was like, 6 years old and i remembered how awful the water tastes. Rich people stuff. Great mystery.
  • RM8 for the carpark.
Ok lar. Paying for the experience. Fine dining

After that we went to some place more casual- mamak! Hahaha. BJM or something like that in Wangsa Maju or was it SetiaWangsa?

Had a nice time chatting away. And i requested we take two photos. One of the whole group and one of just the girls. Upon request, i'm posting the picture of just the girls.



This post was written a few days back. Publishing postponed due to a problem with uploading the pictures

I was just in London recently, you wouldn't believe how much a mediocre dish can cost. Upwards of 10 pounds or more.

Or a small 330ml of mineral water. 1.50 pounds!

Chuang Shyue Chou, whoa! True. In the end Malaysia still has one of the lowest cost of living...

But there you can drink tap water! Its clean. Are the portions big???
