English Afternoon Tea at E&O

For the price of RM38++, this is what you get at E&O in the afternoon ...
While waiting to be seated, you may sit at the lounge first.

One pink rose = I love E&O?
Perhaps, englishmen are lower velocity people.
I waited really long and took this picture with my empty tea cup.

There you go..
One big pot (2 tea bags).
And this is not mine.
Some fresh cream and strawberry jam (nopes. . maybe those are not fresh cream and jam)
This is it....
One person is only entitled:
1. 1 pot of tea of choice
2. 2 scones *
3. 2 cucumber sandwiches
4. 2 turkey ham sandwiches
5. 2 smoke salmon sandwiches *
6. 2 tiny cakes
7. 1 buttered cookies
8. 1 fruit pastry

*Note: Good stuff.
The rest: no comments!!
Fresh scone... with strawberry jam and whipped cream.
It's a long afternoon.
Our food can't last that LONG.....

that that.. I asked for a refill of scones.

*Edit*
My friend told me to SPEAK da truth in my blog.
My friend told me to EXPRESS my deepest OPINION about the place....

And, honest speaking, I HATE the double-standard attitude that has been instilled in them.
Come on, I just checked with my friend (she's sooo lucky... ) that she had refills of her cakes and scones during her last visit on a weekday.
Why on earth did the waitress told me that it comes in a 'SET'?
Was that because I was using vouchers that day!? Was that because I was not paying the full price?
COME ON!.. the membership cost $$$$ as well!
I guess, the waitress reluctantly gave us 3 extra pathetic scones.....
It's not that i really need to eat that much, but there was not much 'HONESTY'..........

Should I start wearing floral dresses with english hats and a flower pinned on my dress?

RM38 for just those few tarts, cakes, snacks and tea? I think I'll pass... this sounds like it's aimed either at tourists or those who are into the atmosphere.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...

Monday Movie Day - Mamma Mia

Finally, after being a nuffnanger for 3 months, I was invited for a free movie at GSC Gurney. Thanks, nuffnang. Again and again. Free movie for 3. Thanks. :D The blogger community was exceptionally quiet compared to the usual cinema crowd. Perhaps, maybe, they only TALK in their blog. I dont' know. Even as we were watching a few minutes of the silent movie, there were not a single 'hoo-ing' or banana-throwing at the screens. I was looking hard to see if I know anyone. I guess it's just 5xmom with her anti-ISA tshirt. Hm.. Somewhat, after watching the movie, I felt that it was just morally so wrong. Am I too rational? 1. How can one has 3 fathers? Shouldn't they do a DNA check first? 2. Does that mean it's alright sleeping with 3 men one after another and get pregnant and raise the child in an island? 3. It seemed ok for the daughter to just call off the wedding. 4. And, the pastor actually solemnized their wedding just like that? They don't even need to att...
