Aly posing as if she's a tourist :P
I have to say, i'm pretty impressed with this place, its like huge weh, although we didn't get to explore every single shop since we were kinda late that day and my dear wanted to buy slippers badly. She said she wanted to go to Times Square to buy n then i said why not go Pavilion since we both wanted to see ( n taste) what all the fuss is about J.Co donuts. I think WeiNie already beat me to post bout it but what the heck rite, she does it in her 'fat girl' opinion mode.. :P ..
The concourse of the Pavillion
Anyways, once we were there, as expected there was a queue .. Quite a long one in fact. But the thing is, its moving rather fast as compared to any other queue's in the country. As i got closer, i manage to figure out why, instead of 1 person serving you, you get 3 instead. How u ask? Well, don't think to much la, you're not the PM so they instead have like 'stations' for each of the 3 staff. Once you're done with one station , they pass you onto their 'friend' at the next and so on. There, pretty simple and effective rite :).
I'm about to find out why there is a ridiculous amount of ppl Q-ing up
So the 2 of us decided to take the half dozen combo and at 11 bucks for 6 donuts, i think its a reasonable price to pay rite? We took the Tiramisu, Cheese, Chocolate with Choc filling, a normal glazed one with blueberry stuffin in the hole, another chocolate one but with nut toppings and and Oreo donut. I actually wondered what else can't you do with Oreos when it comes to desserts la? Got Oreo cheesecake, Oreo McFlurry, Oreo Donut, heck, there is even an Oreo shake here!!
The donut spread.. I will try EACH n everyone one day!!
But i have to say, the best of the 6 has to be the Tiramisu for me. Being the coffee addict that i am, i found it with just the rite amount of coffee and cream. Not too lite till its blend and not too heavy till its over kill. And it ain't as sickeningly sweet like other donuts too!! Next would have to be the cheese topped one. I'm not too sure what kinda cheese they put but the sprinkle of parsley and herbs did the trick!
Their logo looks similarly similar to another iced latte franchise eh?
My baby loved the Oreo one the most, have to admit, it is hard not too. And the blueberry one also very nice. Guess the best thing overall is that it ain't too sweet like Dunkin Donuts but still you'll be able to taste the richness in each bite! Now, would someone open a Krispy Kreme here!!
Half a dozen de-freakin-licious donuts
So after that we walked around awhile, they had a lot of varieties of foods over there, even one shop that specially sells yew char kuay. But at first glance at the sign of the shop, i was like WTF!! Got the pic below.. Scroll down la.
As the great Homer J. Simpson said "Mmmm... Donuts..."
And not surprising with CNY so close by, there was some performance at the stage with acrobats doin stuff and lion dance. To be honest, i wasn't too impress seeing that since its almost all the same at every show u see, like in gentings, china, cruises, etc. But my dear seems fascinated by it so terpaksa see lo :P..
You Tiao, I tiao, we tiao tiao togather la
Oh, we went to the supermarket there, forgot what is it called but it had some funky name to it... Went to the liquor section cos wanted to see what sorta stash they had there.. And to my pleasant surprise, they had loads and loads of stuff! Almost like Langkawi minus the duty free charges la dang.. But seriously, they had all those liqueurs used in mixes that i haven't seen anywhere else.. Unless of cos u go to a special liquor stall. But where else can u find triple sec, banana liqueur, lychee liqueur, vermouth, midori and? They even had Absolut Apeach and jamaican rum! If only la duty free.... The sales lady there also was very knowledgeable about the liquors and wines over there. Siap can give cocktail recipes summore!
Northern Lion Dance plus some chinese show..
Then after that, we made our way over to Sg Wang Plaza. Poor baby looked like she was almost in tears searchin for a good nice pair of flops. Finally found one at Vincci so, i'll jz cut this story short la :)
Chinese acrobats doin the pyramid. Now thats how its done!
On another note, last nite Man United beat Portsmouth 2-0 with a super goal from Ronaldo. The freekick better thn anything Beckham bended weh!! (well, almost la... ) 27 goals and its only halfway tru the season. 99' once more? hopefully la :D
We saw this group of people playin instruments rite at the pavement.. wonder why they blowin to the stone though..
So there it is ... my life so far.. suppose to go clubbing tonite as most of my friends over here finish exams today + my dear sedang memaksa me go.... I'll try to wriggle my way out if i can la.. ><..
check this goal out... even all you non Ronaldo supporters also will applaud at this brilliance!
