Marco Pizza @ Opposite Kelana Jaya LRT!!!!~ (Pizza Battle 1)

After several boring posts about negative of KTM, it is time to move on! What is the best thing to do on Sunday?! Relax and chill, and definitely update my foodie bloggie! To date, some of my more popular posts are on food in Ipoh. Yup, I am from the heaven of good food. Anyway, today, not gonna talk about Ipoh food yet! Instead, I am gonna introduce you all a pizza shop called "Marco Pizza". The location is relatively easy to find which is just opposite the Kelana Jaya LRT.

Yup, as you can see from the pic, the atmosphere there was quite nice and comfy! Ok, the main reason why I wanted to try this restaurant was because I won RM60 vouchers for it! Yeah!!!!~ Seemed like my magical lamp (here) works pretty fine to me ~~~~So, I brought my mom and bro who were ngam ngam in town to join this feast. If not, I can't really finish the vouchers all by myself.

The drinks we ordered were quite good actually (To my surprise). The mango puree wasn't too sweet with a lot of mango inside it. The cappuccino was really nice and came in large cup..hehehehehe~~~

I have to say this - their spaghetti were really nice tooooo~~ I thought it will be like not that tasty. The portion was also quite large too. 

Well, I am sure that you all can't wait to have a look at the pizzas we ordered right! Since they were the main highlight for this foodie post, we ordered 2 pizzas (Marco Pizza mah).

They were quite tasty! Actually, i would say that the flavouring for the pizzas were quite unique unlike what we tasted in Pizza hut. Therefore, my mom, bro, and I were really satisfied with the food.

KTM just Gave The Nation an Unforgettable Merdeka and Hari Raya Celebration!

I sudah balik-ed kampung~ Therefore, today, I decided to take the 3 something bus to return to KL. It was a bit jammed at Simpang Pulai. However, after that, the journey was all smooth until the real nightmare came into my life! 

The bus dropped me at the KL Central. Obviously, to reach my place, I needed to take the KTM ~~~ (><)!!!! So, I reached there around 6.30 p.m. I was thinking it would not be as crowded as the usual days because of the holiday. Think again, I was super wrong! When i reached the platform, it was truly a sea of people! Basically,most of them were foreign workers! Yup, they really conquered KL during holiday!!!!~~



Well, the sea of humans weren't horrifying; but, the never-coming trains were definitely terrifying! From 6.35 p.m, the train did come; but, it was impossible for me to squeeze inside the train at all because of my luggage. Then, for the past 1.5 hours, I was stuck there with a huge crowd and barely could breathe without air-condition! 

The broadcaster kept on saying because of technical problem between Bank Negara and KL stations; therefore, only 1 rail could be used! I was like even if 1 rail could be used at a time, there would be a way to balance the time and the train because usually the trains came at different time. Oh well! 

Finally, I was able to push my way into the train. Then, there were people shouting and pushing. Yup, currently, I am full of bruises and cuts! There was this girl finally could not stand it and shouted out:

I beh tahan; biar saya turun!!!!~~

I should have followed her. For the journey on the train, I was super uncomfortable with people pressing on me and I could not move and my heong piang all ruined!!!!!!!!!!!~~~I was sweating from inside and outside!!! People inside the train were all talking and laughing; Yes, Maggie, their smells were more horrible than me!!!!~ Oh please, when there are so many people in the train, please shut up because you are taking a lot O2!!!~

Anyway, "thanks" to KTM for making this a "wonderful" and unforgettable celebration of Merdeka Day and Hari Raya celebration!!!! You always give me "good" memories!

Pudu Central (The Old Puduraya)



Photobucket

The old Puduraya has finally gone through an extreme makeover! Abundant of money was invested into the renovation process. Wah lah, here is the exterior design of the new Pudu Central! To me, the exterior design is not that important~

Let's go inside and have a look!




Photobucket

Well, the interior is majestically white! Most of the shop lots are still empty. But, the design is still lack of consideration! The ticket booths are situated at the 1st floor. And, before that, there is a staircase that we need to take before getting to the elevator! Imagine that old people need to carry their luggage and walk the stairs@@~~



Photobucket

The atmosphere there is cool because of the internal air-condition. There are ample of spaces for the visitors. So, no worry for not having enough seats! Of course, there are numerous of the digital screens to show the visitors the departure time and platform. This, I give credit~



Photobucket

The passage way to the bus terminal is beautifully designed. But, it is not really convenient for the visitors because the sign on how to open the doors is so small~~ Very paiseh leh, I had a hard time finding the button there..hohohoho~~~
