The Epic Friday

Ok. Apologize on the less productive Thursday, and here comes the crazy Friday. Nope, the government just announced an extension for the lockdown. So, nobody is happy at this point of time. The number is still very high, and people started to think it's fabricated. Regardless, let's proceed with obeying the law by lockdown down, but still hunting for good food.

I had to start with this photo because #ecency app doesn't allow me to select cover photo, so I will have to use this as the first photographs. Because the real 1st photo is... not very attractive. So here we go.

Ordered McDelivery online at 8:40am, delivered by 9am. Very fast! But, left out my butter and maple syrup. So I gave a call and follow up, call center said, the branch should call me immediately. After 20 minutes, no call. So I called again. Don't get me wrong, I still had to wait for the queue to call, like calling to the radio station for a game. There on, another 10 minutes gone, and by the time I get through the operator, gone through a huge verification process, and the operator promise me the branch will call me immediately to arrange for the replacement. Once again, I've waiting another half an hour, nobody call back. In the end, home minster drove me to the branch to collect it by myself. I make a call again to McDonald's, I told the operator I want to make an official complaint on the service rendered by them. I demand an official apology on that because of their mistake causes me to wait for an hour and in the end I will still have to drive myself to the branch to collect the condiments.

In the end, I had my breakfast by 11am after settling all those for the kids and properly file a complain on the incident. It's not a big deal I know, but if this doesn't go to the management, I think pretty soon people will have to not only pay for their food, but will have to attend bad attitude from McD staff. And guess what, 14:30 finally McDonald's call in and ask me about the freakin butter and the freakin maple syrup. I told them I'm not happy with their service level and I demand an apology. Guess what the manager told me? She said, you've got your butter and maple syrup already. Why are you still complaining. LOL I should have record the conversation and post it on social media. You don't wanna listen to the full story and what kind of nasty grinding I gave that manager. Don't get me wrong, she's hot. I've seen her many times before the lockdown, just wasn't expect that's the kind of attitude when she's facing customer's complaint.

Fast forward to lunch, I'm seriously screwed. I was already late going out, added with the McD phone call, by the time I reached the food court, most of the stalls are closed. Fortunately, one of them still cooking and I got myself few packet of noodle.

On my way out found this roadside hawker selling tofu and soy drinks. So I went over and order. Just because the signboard said it's from my home town Ipoh Bercham, so I thought I'd give it a try.

There's two type of soy drink they offer, pure soy milk and also another type with pandan flavored. According to the owner, 100% natural ingredient. Safe and healthy yo. However, didn't take that soy drink, instead go for bean curd. I also took a packet of those Nasi Lemak.

Back home, prepare the noodle for the kids and myself. The older big kid gets the noodle soup on the top right, and the small boy gets the dried noodle on the top left. The bowl of soup came with the dried noodle, so I will have a small portion of the dried noodle and the soup go with it.

This is the first time I had the dried noodle at that hawker stall, it's suprisingly tasty, EXTREMELY tasty I shall reiterate.

And this is my beancurd. The black color are dark brawn sugar added in to the beancurd. It's not exactly tofu, but the recipe is veyr similar in using soy to make tofu, it just that these bean curd are so much softer and lighter.

And not forgetting my packet of very affordable Nasi Lemak. I like it because of the packaging. We don't usually see people wrap their Nasi Lemak in newspaper and banan leaf nowadays.

Not only they looked spicy, they really taste spicy. When come to spiciness, Malaysian don't play! May not be as crazy as Thai people, but I believe we're not far behind.

And here's me annihilating the very soft and tasty bean curd.

Actually, not long after the late lunch, home minister pop out from the room and decided to blend beet root and apple juice. This is like 600ml of juice going in. Refreshing!

I actually haven't really feel hungry yet, but the kids already started shouting. I'm sure they're not hungry, but it was the boringness. They become restless, and I don't wanna take the chance. It's lockdown, and people are not supposed to go out, not even buy food after 8pm.

By the time I reached home, the sky is turning really dark and I can hardly see the sunset no more.

The take out order has this tofu dish with a huge stash of chili paste on top. It's actually a tofu salad with onions and treated cucumber, chili slices made up of this salad. You don't have to ask how did it go, but I had some good time at the toilet this monring.

I also got ourself a packet of sweet and sour fish fillet. I'm ok with it, the kids are also ok with it. So I guess, next week we will have the same stuff again, see how long the kids will start to notice and decline it.

Last but not least, we have our egg fried rice. Just egg and rice, we didn't order the regular fried rice.

And here's me doing the tofu salad, I literally need to use the rice to sooth my burning sensation whilst eating the tofu.
