Something to ponder on

It's my 4th week in penang, and guess wat? I have been to penang for so many times, and i had never ever dare to have the thought of trying out "Dragon-I" restaurant coz i heard it was so "luxurious" to dine there...

Well, still, i still insisted not to dine there, cause it's termed unecessary spending..

Today, me and Eileen wanted to have lunch at QB Mall, coz we had jz bought movie ticket for Love Matters..Out of so many choices, we opt for Canton-I Noodle House...yea..it might sound similar to Hong Kong Noodle House in Kuching, so we went..expecting to have affordable and delicious lunch..

The first thing came into my mind...Wah, these service here so good...so professional..every waiter and waitress has a handsfree on their left ears...ya, left ears only..i dunno y..and the environment...man, its superb...then, i thought..If Hong Kong Noodle House in kuching can be like this, sure the business very LAK KU!

The nightmare started when the menu arrives...Every single dish costs at minimum RM11, and i tell you, the "zha you tiaw" costs RM 3. The plain congee costs RM 4, and what to my astonishment was, Each drink costs at least RM 10!!! Then i took a peek at other tables..i noticed most people ordered Plain Water..hehe..for just RM 1. Plain water for RM 1, free refill!!haha..so, i ordered that too lo...only those tables occupied by old people drink those RM 10 tea.

Well, the last thing i realized was, written in the menu, "Canton-I and Dragon-I are under the same management". Sigh..this is what i called "Unecessary SPendng", especially during this jobless period...i feel so guilty after taken that meal..it costs us RM32 in total (Only 1 plain water, and 2 plates of Roast BBQ Rice). Oh ya, Service Charge + Tax = 5% + 10% = another 15 % more!!
WTF!!
