what we did yesterday—

it was a public holiday, for prophet muhammad's birthday (maulidur rasul). get the updates of the nations' celebrations here

i slept like a sleeping beauty, woke up late, so no morning walks for me. well maybe it was still not too late but i prefer to go early in the morning while its still dark duh!...

we didn't do anything actually. we just opt to wind down by jalan-jalan in kinta city. we reached there just on time for a simple lunch at mcD as requested by megat. then i was so damn happy when kay called a little while later after lunch. only He knows of how excited we were since its been quite some time we didn't really meet up for a chat and coffee or something.

after some window shopping, we decided to stop at big apple (official website here) for some coffee and donuts.

each of us got a plain donut each for our beverages. but megat and i got an extra each of the alien and choreo donuts respectively hehee... tell me of who doesn't lurve oreo right? ;)

+/- 31 years and still going...

besides kay and i missing each other, we also have some small business talk to do. well i guess i will blog about it once everything is owh-kay... :~)

so how did you people spend your long weekend? care to share with me? ;)

p/s i know that i accepted quite a number of sponsored post' recently, and i bet there are many more to come! please bear with me ya... as these are all the matter of getting some extras to keep going with the bad economics down turn :( so have you people seen dolphin blow bubbles? make sure you check it out here ya...

big apple now in ipoh

yes people... you heard me right! Big Apple Donuts & Coffee is now available at kinta city, ipoh since last saturday, 2 may 2008 hmm... yummyy!!!... unfortunately i only knew about this yesterday hehe...


yes, i know its a little bit late for me to blog about this shop. who is not familiar about Big Apple donuts in malaysia? but since its just opened here in ipoh recently, i guess its still not too late for me to blog about it. i didn't take any pic of the outlet cuz i looked around and found that ipoh people are not into pic thingy yet. i also think that they are still new with this kind of foodie though. so i thought maybe i'll save that for my next visit there hehe... well for me, i am so glad that Big Apple is the one to make its first appearance in terms of donuts business in ipoh. before that, just imagine people... ipoh don't even have Dunkin Donuts!

people often compare Big Apple with the JCo Donuts which has lesser chain stores here in the country. i have tried JCo before anyway. its slightly sweeter than Big Apple. the dough taste is not as good on the JCo. what do you think?

well, Big Apple stores are now everywhere, almost all of the big shopping malls. they even have it in penang and east malaysia. you can check their website for the list of stores, but now i think the site is still under construction.

what i like about this shop is its donuts and coffee. Big Apple served ILLY coffee. their coffee is at an absolutely affordable price and it comes with a free glazed donut. my favorite donuts are the one with oreo and also the glazed one. their donuts dough are soft and spongy when you bite on it. the flavors are not too strong, and you certainly do get the dough taste out of it. its not overly sweet, just nice for those who don’t like sweet foods.

for those who have not tried it out, i strongly recommend that you must try it--
