the journey

Manhattan Fish Market. That’s where i took my lunch yesterday. It would have been posting this blog yesterday but it slip off mind, else its today instead of yesterday. Of cause, didnt have enough time to finish my lunch, so we took more than what is given to us. I mean, 45 mins for lunch? That’s ridiculous. Get real. How do you expect us to finish on time? With the lousy canteen’s food (sorry to be honest), we were left no choise but to have it outside. So what if we were back late? Big deal.

Back to Manhattan Fish Market. The name itself explains how grand it would be (just before you step in). Manhattan may not have the best atmosphere of all, but at least it fit into the shopping mall. Dishes are not bad. Proportion wise, large. Services are nice. Location, easy to be found. And for GOD sake, they even greet you when you leave. Breeks?

Personally, i felt its a twins of Fish and Co. at Gurney. Frying pan? Chilly, mayonnaise, and garlic? So called wooden-plate? Fork and knife? Gosh, where is the orginality? To me, they even fail to mimic from the motherland. Say if they try to make a difference, that’s fine, but it was way below par. The cups that they use are even a pain in the @$$… ops, pain in the eyes. GOD knows of they are from the same boss.

I’ll rate 6 out of 10. Maybe. Probably too kind i guess. I mean, what would attract you to dine there for the next time, besides the nice "Manhattan Fish Market" in front of the shop? Shoot me. Honestly speaking, the only thing that i like about the place is the name of the shop. Unique in its own way. On second thought, i’ll go for Fish and Co.. Anybody with me?

Guess im more towards realism than idealism. More towards original than spicy. Two thumbs up for Fish and Co. and as for Manhattan Fish Market, my apology, not in the list. How cruel…

Indeed a very much problematic month of April. This year, the lovely word of "April", doesnt much appear as a welcoming one. If there would be an award goes to the worst month of the year, no doubt this year it belongs to April.

*chuckle

Many thanks to the holidays, i could then spend a few days at Kandang Lembu. KL, incase you are wondering. Some might say its good as i could rest and relax after a hectic month. Others might say im avoiding the problems im facing. Something to cheer up, or so it may seems. Things will no longer be the same though. Have to move on.

The trip was good. Hmm… just when i needed the most (i mean the trip). Not to mention having a place to stay and being guided around KL. Again many thanks, but it was to my brother’s friend, Daniel. It was very nice of him to show me around. Went shopping, sight seeing, having great meal, experiencing something new in life, and needless to say, taking photographs.

However there are a few things that amaze me;
1. Number plate starts with ‘W’. Sweat, KL certainly starts with ‘W’. It was then i realized that i was in KL. And when a number plate with ‘P’ passed by, i was like "hey, that’s my buddy in penang.". Lolz.

2. Having a single person’s holiday. Heard of the song by Penny Tai - Yi Ge Ren De Xin Li? (or something like that). Direct transation would be single person’s vacation. Hahaa, something like that. I went on my own.

3. Next on the list. Taking photos with terracotta. Not that i fly to China, but its in Dragon-I

4. A seat in the Eye of Malaysia would cost you rm15!~! For GOD sake, they might as well rob the bank. Even the one in Penang doesnt cost as much as it is. Water display and stuff? Doesnt impressed me.

5. Secret recipe seem to dominate most of the places in KL. Its like everywhere i turn, there’s secret recipe.

At the end of the day, i noticed that i’ve grown too dependent. What’s good is a tv without Astro? No ESPN or StarSport. Local tv channel? No longer suits me. What’s good is a computer without internet access? No news to update oneself.

Im now back in at my own room and bed. Home i would say. Home seems to be the best afterall (at the moment).
