Food buffet is everywhere out of common, but have you ever heard of the clothes buffet? Yes, Malaysia's LARGEST clothes buffet is here at the Taylor's University Lakeside Campus Syopz Mall, from 25-27April 2014 10am - 6pm.

What to remember?

If you can zip it, you can keep it ! =P

What does that mean?

First, you have to register yourself to enter the shopping area - 

RM60 per person per ziploc bag per session.

Next, you just have to bare in mind and comply with their 

rules & regulations during your shopping session.

SIMPLE RULES:
NO handbags, NO trying, NO refunds.
Grab as much clothes as you can & zip them into the given ziploc bag.
You can zip it, then they are ALL yours!
But.. Not to tear off the bag, else RM20 penalty is charged. ;O

Every session lasts for 15 minutes, and you can only purchase ONE ziploc bag per session per person, to enter the shopping area. You can register for many sessions though! ;D

Cute, small boards & banners are provided for you to have a pretty camwhoring session while waiting for your turn to shop! ♥

You are allowed to enter the shopping area when announcement is made. Don't break the rules & shop wise to harvest more hehe..

Others than the clothes buffet, Aussino is having their big sales booth there as well. It's time to change a new bedsheet..! xP

Of course, there is a small-scale bazaar to complement the entire event. Every booth is selling off their items at reasonable, cheaper price.

Pak John Steamboat & Yong Tao Foo @ eCurve

Steamboat + BBQ + Dim Sum

Pak John Steamboat & Yong Tao Foo is a buffet-styled steamboat restaurant that strategically located at eCurve's lower ground floor. Being a halal steamboat restaurant, Pak John as well provides us the opportunity to grill our food instead.

The restaurant is occupying a big area in the mall, but it was still a bit troublesome for us to walk around prior to the narrow walkways between the tables. 

Our first thought on a halal steamboat restaurant was - probably not much choices we could have. Surprisingly, Pak John provides more varieties of food than what we have expected of. Most importantly, the food is fresh and well marinated.

Different kinds of meats, balls, tofu, etc.

The greens...

The noodles & the eggs.

Not only the food, beverages are available in more varieties too. For instance, the iced lemon tea, orange juice, as well as the coffee. ;D

We super love the grill pot that placed in the middle of the steamboat pot. The meat, especially the marinated beef and lamb turn out very delicious after being grilled. This is probably because they have been well seasoned.

Upon waiting for the food to be cooked in the pot, you can have their readymade food and dim sum. Readymade food including the fried stuff, fried noodles and fried rice. Disappointing part is the dim sum, tastes bad. =X  

Dim sum from the kitchen.

Besides that, you can order roti canai or burger from the counter as well.

Aftermeal dessert is always a compulsory part after the steamboat. =P 

Normally, steamboat restaurants provide only ice cream, but Pak John is the exception. 

1) Ice cream is available in sticks, or to be obtained from the machine.

2) There is chocolate fountain here! hehe...

Chocolate sauce was a bit too watery.

3) Waffles can be ordered from the kitchen too.

We were creative enough to DIY our waffles
with the ice cream & chocolate sauce hehe..

Afterall, it was a nice experience visiting Pak John for the very first time. 

Reasons for us to come back again: -

1) Food are fresh & in wide range.

2) Meats are well marinated.

3) Despite halal (no pork stuff), they have varities of chicken, beef, lamb...

     and the special one - duck breast.

4) Cheese seafood tofu is awesome!

5) Grilled stuff is nice! (esp the meats and the abalones).

6) Varieties of desserts & beverages.

7) Reasonable price for the 3-in-1 steamboat+BBQ+dimsum buffet.

8) Air-conditioned, comfortable environment, no more sweating in a steamboat 

    session. =P

Pregio @ Metrotown, KK

Nice coffee in the town..

Where to find a cafe serving a decent cup of coffee in KK, Sabah? Pregio is a Hong Kong imported brand name, which is located next to Grabbing Hands in Metrotown, and is undoubtedly serving one of the best coffee in KK.

 

Recently, coffee trend is getting popular in West Malaysia, nevertheless, the East side follows the trend as well. However, it is a bit difficult to find a cafe that really serves pretty good coffee in KK. Out of the rarity, Pregio provides satisfactory cup of coffee brewed from quality coffee beans, further enhanced by their barista's skillful foaming and art work.

 

Generally, Pregio has the normal menu and dinner menu for the daily selections. Subsequently, they offer special Sunday brunch menu, only available from 9.30am until 6pm every Sunday.

Ordinary menu items includes salads, pastas, pizzas, and desserts. 

Dinner special menu @ RM28 each -
Main course comes with a starter & a dessert.

Sunday special brunch @ RM15
- served with a glass of guava juice.
(Any beverage ordered with this menu item will enjoy a RM2 discount).

Apart from serving the normal coffees (espresso, macchiato, americano, cappuccino, latte & mocha), Pregio has flavoured latte with wider choices for your preferred syrups. For instance, they have the caramel, macadamia nuts, hazelnut, vanilla, as well as the ginger bread flavour.

Iced mocha (RM12)

Iced Americano (RM9) with a rather bitter taste.

Hot cappuccino (RM10) with silky foam and heart-shaped art.

Hot mocha (RM11) with balanced, adequate portion of chocolate & coffee,
very smooth. The nice coffee art definitely delight us the entire day hehe.

Hazelnut latte (RM11) has nice fragrance & smoothly made foam.
Too bad that no art was drawn here. =X 

For a chilling cold coffee in KK's such hot weather, Pregio has the special iced caffe banana.

Caffe banana (RM12) is a combination of espresso with the banana milk.

Pregio's extraordinary one comes to its single origin specialty coffee brewed by a syphon or a hand dripper. This is a method of brewing the coffee through pouring water over roasted, ground coffee beans contained in a filter. It might be scarce to find this kind of coffee here in KK, as the demand is very few, and many are believing that a french-pressed method is much better and appropriate.

Single origin specialty coffee is brewed by the hand dripper, by drips.

Columbia, Brazil & Ethophia originated coffee beans.
Normally, costa rica is the better option due to its well-balanced bitter & sour taste.
Nonetheless, Columbia's is not a bad option though. 

Of course, Pregio has beverages with no caffeine too.

Apple juice freshly made from the fruits.

Guava juice served along with the Sunday brunch.

Hot honey lemon

Iced chocolate

As aforementioned, Pregio does sell food like salads, pastas, and pizzas.

Pumpkin soup is very nice as it is thick enough and silky creamy.

Linguine aglio-olio with tomato and mushroom - average only,
the taste was too light that we could barely taste anything.

Pizza smoked salmon & pesto - taste delicious with its
crispy thin crust & cheesy salmon, mushroom, pesto fillings.

Cheesy breakfast sandwich -
ham & mushroom sandwich topped with a super cheesy toast.

Pregio's Sunday special -
egg benedict & tomato bruchetta on toasted baguette.
The sides - potato salad is awesome! 

Tortilla wrapped - wrapped scrambled egg inside, topped with tomato salsa.

Spaghetti with tomato sauce & parsley

Waffle with seasonal fruits

Panna cotta - tasty & with nice texture, smooth and bouncy.

To wrap up everything, Pregio has the pros in:

- Nice coffee (more towards the mild one).

- Mocha with nice chocolate.

- Handcrafted coffee with well-balanced taste & strong fragrance.

- Nice desserts.

- Friendly staff.
