A Confession of A Shopaholic Part 1...

Last Thursday, I finally embarked on my shopping spree at Suria KLCC. Being the last day of the semester break and the last month of the Malaysia Mega Sales Carnival, I can't possibly miss out on the chance to splurge on new branded clothes. It's the perfect time to buy new clothes. Imagine all branded clothes that are usually priced more than hundreds of ringgits are marked down by 40%, 50% and even 70% of their normal price! The thought of wearing new clothes and enjoying a decent meal in a restaurant excites me that I told myself I must not miss out this year's mega sale or I'll regret it. After all, this is probably the only time in my life where I have the time to enjoy myself. After I graduate from college next year, I would probably be working my ass off. And besides, I have been wearing the same clothes for 4 years now. Yup, you heard me right. The last time I have new clothes to wear was when I was in form 3. I didn't care much because I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. However, now that I'm working and saving a lot, I think I deserve some new clothes.

After pondering on where to shop for good clothes, I decided to go to Suria KLCC. After all, it's just a 20 minute bus ride from my house and it has all the branded clothes I'll need. I embarked on my shopping spree at around 12.30p.m.

My budget: RM200.

If I ran out of money.....

I still have my trusty new Visa debit card

As soon I arrived, I scouted every corners in Suria KLCC to find the best bargains for clothes that are within my budget. I don't want to end up paying >RM 300 for a piece of T-shirt.

Therefore, after scouting for about half an hour, I've decided to try my luck at the following shops:

ISETAN

Parkson

Marks and Spencer

Well, before I sprint to their fitting rooms to try on the clothes, my tummy was starting to grumble. It's already 1.30 p.m. and I haven't eaten my lunch. Therefore, time to search for a good restaurant. Being a food enthusiast myself, I read a lot of of "flogs" when I surf the internet. Flog = Food blogs

Therefore, I have already decided on where I wanted to eat before I went to Suria KLCC.

The Manhattan Fish Market.

Here's a tip, when you want to have lunch at KLCC, it's better to wait after lunch hour to avoid congestion. Have your lunch around after 1.30p.m.

After being greeted and seated by the waiter standing in front, I continued to select from the variety of food in the menu. After looking at the menu, I decided to have as Fried Country Mushroom as my appetizer.

Being a fan of mushrooms, I can't say no to this.

The fried mushrooms also come with 3 sauces for you to dip in. From the left is mayonnaise, sweet and sour chilli sauce and garlic.

When the plate of mushrooms arrived, I was a little sceptical on the taste. They looked like balls of cornflour with nothing else.

However,

One bite on the mushrooms was heavenly. The skin of the fried mushrooms was crunchy and fluffy while inside of the fried mushrooms were really MUSHROOMS!!! (Sorry for the blur image)

As my main course, I chose The Grilled Catch of The Day which was Norweign Fish on that day.

The dish arrived with a big fish fillet with lots of french fries, a slice of lemon and a slice of tomato. The big fish fillet was nicely baked with butter sauce and herbs.

The fish fillet was nicely done and not overcooked. The meat was smooth and sweet with a hint of butter and spices. Being a fan of fish, I really don't mind finishing this big fish fillet on my own. In fact, I'm glad it came in this big portion compared to the overpriced fine dining restaurants.

The word big is already an understatement. The meal was so enourmous that I find it hard to finish.


The total damage :

Orange Juice = RM6.90

Fried Country Mushroom = RM9.90

Grill Catch of The Day = RM18.90

Service Charge (10%) = RM 3.57

Tax = RM 1.79

Grand total = RM41.05

It may look expensive but it's definitely worth the price considering it's good service and good food. For more details, click here http://www.suriaklcc.com.my/index.php?module=ShoppingDetails&_prod_id=296
