read about Charms Cafe on the Star Newspaper a few weeks back. Here's the article from the Star online.

so i decided to give it a try.




it's an Asian cafe. They serve huge portions of curry mee, pan mee, n etc. normal chinese food u can get from hawker stalls everywhere but twice the price that is. a bowl of laksa cost around rm 11, containing generous amounts of ingredients, such as fish balls, cockles, chicken strips and etc. that was wat i ordered that day. it's one of their signature dish and i kinda like it. not really into it, that i would eat it every day, but it's alrite. u know?.



CHARMS LAKSA


calvin on the other hand, ordered sea food fried rice, i think. absurd enough, it's more expensive than my laksa dish. about rm 3 more. and yet the portion size is so small!! calv didn't seem to like it . the rice taste weird. it's a mix of sweet and sour. =-='' weird combination for rice, i think. he preferred my laksa. :) hehe. definitely a no-no dish to order when u visit CHARMS.

CHARMS SEAFOOD FRIED RICE

i actually dun fancy eating such foods in shopping malls or in restaurants, cos i think, the ones in hawker stalls, taste so much nicer and cheaper too. and after i tried Charms, i will never want to eat there again, unless i NEED to.

have u heard of BOOST?


there's no outlet in malaysia( i think) but there are a few in singapore. I saw it in vivocity, if i'm not mistaken. anywayz, I started drinking Boost when i was in Australia. it's very popular there. it was love at first sip. love every drink in their menu. especially the banana buzz , king william chocolate, and breakie to gogo. awesome drink. but a lil pricey though. about aud 6 for a medium size drink. yeap. rm 18 to be exact. phew. :( need to work more to indulge in these drinks again.. darn~

Since there's no Boost in malaysia, they open an imitation of Boost instead. introducing Juiceworks! (clickable)


yeap. similar to boost juice, they have power drinks, skinny smoothies, fresh juices but of course the names are different. they have a few drinks in common, like the wheatgrass shot. haven't try it yet. it's such a small drink and it cost the same as the large sized smoothies. but it claims that a shot of the wheatgrass is equivalent to 1 kg of fruits and vege. =-='' really meh?


since i'm quite skeptical bout the shots, i ordered the mega muscle machine instead. sounds like a drink for muscle builders rite? haha :P but i like the content of the drink. it has banana, mango, strawberries, soya milk, and low fat ice cream. yum yum. the taste, however, wasn't like wat i expected. all i can taste was the soya milk. but after a few more sips, i started to like it. and before i knew it, i've already finished the drink =-='' oh btw, it cost around rm 9 for a large drink, i think. kinda forgotten :P



drinking mega muscle machine.


there are 5 outlets of juiceworks in malaysia so far. 1u, the curve, mid valley, the gardens and klcc. so drop by if u're around these shopping malls and a have drink to quench ur thirst. it's really nice. i promise. :) n those in singapore, must try boost!! :)
