Is It That True ???

i found this flyer in my letter box.. it says "Blood Bank Need More Blood to meet an upsurge in demand during the festive season"...

is this sentence neccessary for a Blood Donation Campaign??? this is my first time hearing this kind of quotes... I've organised 1 before but didnt really force the public to donate if they can't lol..

For privacy purpose..i dont want to reveal the organiser for this campaign...

i think they should make better sentences next time..

Well if the quote were to be true... means more pple will meet with accidents during the festives seasons...CHOY CHOY!!!!TOUCH WOOD!!!!.....

My Elephant

Another Food Review~~

My Score 4/5

this time i tried out this restaurant called My Elephant
hmm...funny name huh..but it is related to the food they serve of course ^^

Thai Food

this restaurant is located at Section 17..should be quite famous
that location is formerly the 6to10 Restaurant(not really sure..but something like that le..)

the space in this restaurant is quite limited as there are only about 14 tables
which could fit around 60-70 peeps..
the restaurant is furnished mostly with Ikea furnitures and decos
very simple and clean design and very confortable to dine in too!!

the weird thing is that there is only 1 chef cooking all the dishes
so peeps dining there kinda need to wait for a while for the food to prepared
well to me...it was worth the wait :P~~!!!

the price that i have listed for the food i consumed are rough figure of each dish
cause i cant remember the exact price of each but it totalled up to rm80
no gov & service tax!!

Entrance of the restaurant

from the entrance to the tables

are quite near...as you can see the chair is there

their main flower used here is chrysanthemum

**************************

This place is small but there are some hospitality

too for waiting guests...

they included a waiting lounge with magazines

and napkin-fold-flower-design lol.....

**************************

Glass walls on the right to maximise lightings

since they have dimmer lights inside..

and also to let others know the floor plan

and also making the place look more spacious hahah

**************************

as you can see....the restaurant is fully occupied

and to make sure you get to dine there it

is best to make a reservation cause it is always full!!

***************************

some of their deco..didnt manage to use flash as there were

so many peeps there later i paiseh...disturbing them =_="

*********************************

This is their table setting

round plates with round cut banana leaves on each plate

each with a coaster too and they are smart too~~!

Why???

because they only use 1 table cloth for the whole dinner

How???

they added another layer of higher quality of Mahjong paper

**********************************

Their pick-up , cashier area~~~

********************************

Drinks

My dad ordered Green Tea (rm3~5)

My mom and I tried the Mango Lychee Smoothie (rm6~7)
it was brilliant except that it wasn't cold enough!!

***************************
FOOD

This is the first dish that i am interested in from the whole
of the menu..this is one of my fav dish all time!!!
The Vermicelli Wrapped Popiah

if i am not mistaken they called it Popiah Roll (rm4~6)

it is a bit similar to the Vietnamese rolls but

this one..they have used rough vermicelli instead

which gives you a fuller bite together with the prawns and

not forgetting the thai sauce which is sweet sour and spicy!!!

***********************************

This dish is quite rare in Selangor..since i only get to eat it in

Kuching, Sarawak ..this is the Fern Stalk Fried Belacan(rm9~11)

it depends on certain peeps..some might like it some might not

it is a bit waxy and slimy as you eat it something like saliva lol..

**********************************

same as other Thai restaurants...they serve rice to us in a

huge bowl where peeps like us help ourselves taking

as much or little we want ngehehe...

something diff bout this place is that they serve Brown rice instead

hmm...Health concious?? no worries..it has been cook throughly

it is not hard...just like normal rice, and there isnt any smell too~!

***********************************

Next would be Green Curry(rm10~15)

i just love it!! the flavor of the curry is so rich and thick

as if the chef really give all his best to cook this dish!!!

really a must try!!

**************************************

This is the tomyam soup we ordered
i think it is called Song Tam(rm10~15)

it is best to go with chicken but i didnt really enjoyed it

cause it is not spicy rather milky...but worth the try since

it is something new..

*************************************

yep!! the Bbq chicken(rm8~12) which is filled with flavour too!!
i can taste the leeks in it and a bit of sweetness
very nice too!!

*************************************

The Surroundings

**************************************

this is a complimentary drink from the Manager
it is some herbal drink from thai..

it taste a bit sweet and sour but more to the sweet side

very refreshing!!
