T.G.I.Friday (^^) @ Pavillion ~

Photobucket

Friday means a lot to a lot of working people out there! Yes, is Friday, not the Friday 13th. The next day is weekend, this also means you have weekend off. Anyhow, this post is about T.G.I.F @ Pavilion(^^).  My family came down KL to visit me and they had yet walked around this luxurious place. During lunch time, we ended up here >>>> T.G.I Friday (^^)

Actually, TGIF is quite like Chilis [here]. The food portion is large despite not as large as Chilis. The taste was amazing for all 3 dishes above. My fav was the middle; it was something like Cheesy Pizza (^^)!!!!

Of course, most dishes would provide french fries !!!!~ The burger and fried chicken were awesome! I would say 10/10 for services. As for the taste, it depends. For heavy grilling and frying delicacies, no doubt TGIF is superb in this case. For people who prefer not that heat-ty food, perhaps they should opt for something else (^^)

Everything Total Recalled From 1990 to 2012 !

As a crazy movie dweller, I had watched numerous movies since I started laying my eyes on the television screen  Perhaps, I am the era of TV-baby. While nowadays, the children are more to the era of Apple-baby.  Anyhow, I watched Total Recall (2012) (TR2012) in the cinema. After triggering my curiosity button, I ended up downloading the "mature and raw" version of Total Recall (1990) (TR1990) which was made about 22 years ago (@@), almost same age as me!!!!!~ 





Storyline
Let's talk about the storyline. Well if they didn't tell me that it was a remake of TR1990, I think that TR2012 will definitely fare better. Despite the change in the story, TR1990 is about outer space and Mars while TR2012 is about Earth of 2 different ends, the development is still the same. Basically, it is about a guy whose memory is replaced. Until one day, he went to a company called Total Rekall, which eventually reminded him of his past. TR1990 incorporated a lot of interesting characters from Alien, Mutants.. while TR2012 changed them into robotic soldiers. 

Verdict: TR1990's story was more intriguing; TR2012 gives a fresh new perspective overall. Therefore, if we don;t compare, both individuals are quite well in term of action. 



Characters
 Main actors - Colin Farrell and Arnold Schwarzenegger were playing totally similar characters. TR2012 gave a visual superior in action; TR1990 was totally 18PL with blood-shed scene of extreme violence including body explosion, gruesome technology. In this case, I prefer the later one (18PL) while TR2012 is more to (PG13)...hahahaha, no doubt Colin Farrell is kinda hot and sexy in this movie; but, to be truthful, Arnold's acting was so much better than Colin Farrell (@@) ~ Surprised!!! 

 Verdict: Arnold's performance was exceptional great; Colin needed to show more emotional struggle ~



Main Actress  - Kate Beckinsale and Sharon Stone were playing the pure evil wives in this case. But, the twist was that Kate Beck was the main antagonist who kept chasing; But, Sharon Stone sadly was the supportive role in this case; however, her performance was stunning as well. 

Verdict: Kate Beckinsale is my goddess; her acting was terrific as she was totally showing us the Underworld Killer style. Sharon Stone was amazing as well and her action moves were not outdated at all!!!!~  

Overall, if looking at them not as the remake and original, both movies are quite okay as they are unique in the storyline. However, looking them otherwise, TR1990 was actually better than TR2012 in my humble opinion. So, what do you think???? Do you recall what you watch (^^)??? Here is the link by some youtube user comparing both versions, quite interesting too (^^)

Spaghetti Farm's Where? @ Midvalley

Photobucket

It had been a while since I went go Midvalley after my graduation because currently rotting in Ipoh. Anyhow, I remembered last year Puasa Month, my friend and I went to Spaghetti Farm at Midvalley. It was not easy to get a place that time. Kenny Rogers, Fish Market, Nando...were all booked. We managed to get a spot at Spaghetti Farm. Actually, the place was quite nice with great ambient.

The price of the food was reasonable as well. With soup and drink, the set dinner was fine. Moreover, they provided chili powder and cheese powder.

Looking at the spaghetti, I thought the food would be great. But, to my dismay, the taste was not that great at all; perhaps, it was because a lot of customers, but, the quality must be maintained. Despite the good service provided, the taste mattered the most. These days, I went to the same place;however, it was found that the restaurant was closed or moved?

Anybody knows where is this restaurant now? Or, I was having illusion of my own (^^)???
