garuda padang + movie it's a club outing today! a prelude to our kl trip! we had a late lunch at garuda padang, which is under tung lok group (surprising huh?). i was looking for a halal restaurant for parv and came across good reviews online, thus we decided to try it. the restaurant is located at vivocity b2, the same floor as the entrance from the mrt. it's no wonder why i've never noticed it-- it's tucked away behind the escalator. it's a rather small "self service" restaurant. took forever for the waitress to notice and seat us. we were already deciding to walk in ourselves when she approached us. and after settling down, she didn't even inform us that we were supposed to order from the counter ourselves. we were left feeling pretty lost for about 5 minutes. there's a signboard near the entrance of the restaurant which states the price of some of the dishes. but you might as well walk a little bit more and get all the prices as well as available dishes that day from the counter. parvin and kanch looking at the range of food. some food are already cooked (as you can see from the picture), others like sambal kang kong are only prepared when ordered. here is what we ordered:
overall? wouldn't recommend it. the bill came up to $46.50 for the 3 of us. considering that we didn't eat that much (1 pegedel, 1 piece of beef, half chicken breast, little kang kong), $15.50 per pax is crazy. you can get better at mosque street. after eating, we got tickets for my sister's keeper. i have been looking forward to this movie for very long. the book's by jodi picoult and the director directed the notebook, so i had high expectations of the movie. while the actors were not a list (cameron diaz isn't considered one anymore right?), they all gave stunning performances, especially sofia vassilieva. she's a rising star, claiming young artist award nomination and winning child actress of the year (2000). unlike amanda hudgens and miley cyrus, she does more serious genres (admireable!). hopefully we'll be seeing her more often in the future. |
