Haidilao review from a foodie

31st July 2022

Ever wondered if a restaurant is good or bad? If yes, you're in the right place coz a foodie is detected writing this blog.

So, my family and I went to the Haidilao restaurant in Aeon Station 18, Ipoh and it was really crowded. But not to worry as there are large green couches outside with hot teas and snacks for you to enjoy. I thought it was pretty much a scam to let you wait longer and charge you more but we went in after waiting a few minutes (maybe we're lucky) so it wasn't too bad after all. 

As we step into the restaurant, the first thing I felt was the freezing cold air-conditioning. We got seated and started ordering. While waiting for all the ingredients we order to arrive, hot towels, zip lock bags, and aprons were provided. I believed we have waited pretty long for the food to arrive and it was so cold that we were freezing. But fortunately, we have our very own waiter who gave us shawls to keep warm.

The food came and we enjoyed it, I think it was pretty good. There was a performer that will swing your noodles around which was very entertaining and a fun experience to watch.

   

Suddenly, an unexpected event happened. After knowing that it was my birthday tomorrow, they gathered all the waiters and started singing. It was so unexpected that I was smiling the whole entire time. I didn't even have enough time to take a full video. We were also given a mini cake for free. 

        

Overall, I would say that almost RM300 for a 5 pax meal is reasonable as there was a waiter that never really leaves our table, all the effort to perform and complimentary snacks. I would say that the food was obviously not their main selling point, but the experience is but it is definitely worth trying.

Spending money on food

4th July 2022

So today I was clearing up the old files and pics and I came across a script that I've written for a 2 to 3-minute presentation. The topic was spending money on food. I got a bit of inspiration and advice from mum, and today I'm gonna share with you the script. 

Spending money on food is a very satisfying thing. In Malaysia, we are all spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing foods. Malaysia is practically a food haven. In this multiracial country, we not only have Malay Indian Chinese food, but we also have Nyonya food, Thai Japanese Western, and Korean food, not forgetting special delicacies on festivals. Best of all, we need not go to fancy restaurants to get good food. We can go to Mamak stalls, hawker centers, and night markets to get affordable food. The special thing about getting your money's worth on food is to try different types of food. When we eat a type of food once in a blue moon, the food will become more special to us compared to eating it every day. But if u are tight on money, then you should always choose healthy food as we eat to live, not live to eat.

Since I decided to write a post about food, why not make a compilation of me and food?

     

           

                       

          

   

       

       

    

          

Trust me..... making this post brought back many memories, I love the last few pictures the most. And if you've seen this post till the end and still don't know I'm a foodie, then start reading this post again until you get it lol... I guess this is why my family (especially me) never loses any weight, we live to eat, rather than eat to live.

KL trip (Shangri-La hotel) Day 2

 2nd May 2022  Happy Hari Raya Aidilfitri💚💚

I woke up lazily.......We were going swimming but I just wanted to sleep. I went swimming anyway. The funny thing is that the water is actually salty

This is how you use a swimming board, I guess?

Don't mind me

 

  We ate breakfast at the Lemon Garden Cafe. So much variety. Chocolate fountain with waffles. Great way to start off your day.

Went for the fish feeding. There were so many fishes, some black and some colorful. our fish food is pretty little. They recycle the containers so give them back to the counter.

     The maze was a little wet...It rained the night before I think we still walked through it and yeah there's a sense of accomplishment.

Packed our bags ready for check put while my brothers went to the fun zone for art and crafts.

I love this outfit, do you? Gonna miss the hotel

We went to our aunt's house...The dog was pretty attention-seeking and friendly. My mum was petrified though. Play Jenga blocks and monopoly.

After that, we went home stuck in a traffic jam for bout half an hour. Music really helped us go through it and also with snacks.

So..... that's it! What do you think about my holiday?
