Carl's Junior


If you ever find yourself bored, really thirsty, tired of standing or walking around in a shopping centre, then Carl's Junior is the place to go.

Why do I say that?
Isn't it kinda expensive?

Well, yes, it is kinda expensive. BUT, I did not say you had to go there to eat anything.
Yesterday I found myself at 1utama ( again). There were no good movies, thus I was walking along the long stretches of 1utama, wearing my legs out.

I decided to go into Carl's Junior. And it was a very very good decision.




Reasons?
  1. I was thirsty
  2. I was tired
  3. I wanted to sit
At Carl's Jr, much like McDonalds, they allow to refill you drinks.

One small cup cost about RM 3.00, before tax.

Is Rm 3.00 worth a drink?
NO! Do not waste your time buying a drink anywhere for Rm3 - unless its Carl's Jr.
I refilled my ice lemon tea drink 4 times yesterday! less than 1 ringgit a drink.

So... is Rm 1.00 worth a cup of iced lemon tea?
YES!!!

Another plus point was there the environment in Carl's Jr is pretty good. Clean, aircon, nice seats, and a pencil in the middle of the table

Movie prices at GSC






Everyone loves to go to the mall for one of three reasons.
  1. shopping
  2. waiting for someone else ( killing time)
  3. movies
So, today Ill be talking about watching movies. Watching is like the ultimate pastime for me ( and i sure I;m not alone in that)

Ofcourse it can get a little over the necessary budget. RM10 on average per show.

That is why, whenever I can, I do try to go to the cheaper cinemas. With the high competition between the three leading cinemas ( gsc, tgv adn cineplex), there are loads of offers available. In my opinion tgv is ultimately the cheapest. But not necessarily the best.

Anyway, we are talking about GSC. Take a look at the GSC pricing at different locations. No consistency at all. Which means some places are CHEAPER than others :)

click here for real comparison

GSC Midvalley, weekend, normal seat = RM 11
GSC Pavillion KL, weekend, normal seat = RM12
GSC 1utama, weekend, normal seat = RM 11
GSC Alamanda putrajaya, weekend, normal seat = RM 10
GSC summit USJ, weekend, normal seat = RM 9
GSC ioi Puchong, weekend, normal seat = RM 9
GSC Sentral square, Sungai petani, weekend, normal seat = RM 7

I do suppose location and comfort play a large role. But for a guy like me, living in Puchong. I certainly prefer to go to ioi mall.

The cheapest deal is of course to watch a movie, on a weekday, before 6pm, with a student card. ps, the EON bank credit card deal with GSC seems pretty good.
-Priority ticketing lane
-50% off ticket purchase up to RM100

Pizza Milano


Ever feel like having some nice Italian food but find it just a little bit ( or quite a bit) over the budget? Good news for you! A few friends of mine introduced me to this great new place some months back - Pizza Milano


If you feel like having some Italian food, with a budget of no more than RM 10 + some 5% tax. Then Pizza Milano is the place to go. I am unsure if they have other branches elsewhere, but there is one located in 1utama.

Location: Right outside Secret Recipe or McDonalds at the 2nd Floor (Old Wing) of 1Utama Shopping Complex.

Price: Depending on what you order, you can get a decent meal w/o drink for RM10 or so. The small personal pizza is about Rm9.99, 7inch diameter. But I usually go for the cheaper and more filling pasta!





I never carry my camera, so i Googled pizza milano for some pics. Found some nice ones on this guys site. Check it out.
