Movie & Dinner @ Mid Valley Megamall

Last night, me and my bf got 2 tickets to watch "Astro Boy" at Midvalley. It has been some time we have not been to Mid Valley. So my comment of the Astro Boy?? Is is really funny. Maybe due to im watching the cantonese version. There are english version too. But i prefer in cantonese because the way they talked is quite funny.

The movie started at 9pm but we arrived early. So we went to have our dinner. We are actually plan for a budget meal. So we did not walked far to look around of any restaurant. We just stopped at the Food Court areas. Dont think there is nothing nice to eat. To be honest, is actually quite a lot of variety of food being served there. There are local, Penang, Korean, Japanese, Thai food etc....Some of the price is still acceptable.

My bf and i just walked around and soon he found the meal he want to try...Is at the Korean stall. He ordered for Grilled Fish Rice(RM13+) ....i forget the name for the meal...hehe...The set consist of a grilled fish, rice, salads, kimchi and sliced potatoes, a seaweed soup, and a cup of rice tea. The set is quite afforadable since it is included so many things as above.

As for me, i have ordered for a Terayaki Chicken Rice (RM12.90)...There are deep fried chicken and pour with terayaki sauce, a bowl of miso soup and rice, salad and a cup of green tea. Just a nice set. The set is just in good portion but the chicken is slightly hard. If it is more tender, it would perfect....And the set is included government tax already...

After our meal, we went back to the cinema and get our seat for the movie. Our seat is just nice and good for viewing...hehe...Is 1st row at the back...What else we can expect and it is free one...We got it as we are the Spotlite Magazine member..hehe...

For the story of the movie is actually about a scientist who watched the death of his son,Toby in front of his eyes. He was so depressed and try to recreate a cloned robot who look exactly like his son with a truly advanced weapon and with a DNA left inside his son's cap, the cloned robot have all the memories captured and "he" thought he is a human. And the new "Toby" is actually survived with the help of the "blue energy" ...erm... so-called " powerful battery" to make him "alive"....But due to scientist just unable to feel the new "Toby" is same like his previous kid and wish to "terminate" it as when he saw new "Toby", he will felt sad and soon reliazed he actually a robot instead a human...the new "Toby" felt rejected and fly away...Along the way, he found out he has many powerful ability and helping all people around him....Along the long journey without his "human life"....he met with many real human friends and also many funny and cute robots...and this is how he get the new name "Astro Boy".....The evil trying to "terminate" him to get his "blue energy" power and the end, he tried to save the human being from the evil....

Erm, this is some of the storyline. If wan to know more, just go buy a ticket and watched it yourself. There will be English version for this movie. Is indeed a nice cartoon for family to watch with their kids. Astro Boy will be officially released today(19 November 2009)...

Hope you all enjoy the movie!! :)

View from outside the shopping....

Interior of the restaurant

This is my 2nd time visit of the restaurant. The 1st time is few year ago. I cant remember much about the place but since everyone would prefer to meet in the town rather than going too far. And whats more? They can have early shopping before the dinner time comes..

It is a day whereby we plan to celebrate PRLY's bday. I have make reservation early and the table given is jus facing shopping centre. So the place is actually quite noisy...But it is still ok for us. Total there are 11 persons(my bf, me, PRLY & hubby, HF & hubby, YC, CY, Suki, LSK & CSK) who are joining the dinner. Me and my bf is the the 1st who reached. So, we begin to look through the menu and get our drinks 1st...I have order a peppermint tea while my bf ordered the ice blended capuccino.

As we begin to wait for the drink to served, slowly most of my friend is coming in and we started to make our orders....

Pure Peppermint Tea (RM8)- nothing much different from the outside and it is in tea bag style.

Amarin Cappucino Ice Blended (RM10) - the cappucino is quite sweet to my bf and he just not so like it.

Thai Ice Coffee (RM8) - look like a 3 layered coffee which bottom is the gula melaka, middle - milk and top is the coffee....

Thai Ice Tea (RM9) - same concept with the Thai Ice Coffee....I just noticed the price difference RM1...haha..

Lemon Grass Juice (RM8) - no ideas how is the taste. But might look little weird..A piece of lemon grass found inside the glass.. .I think is for decoration purposes...

Chilies sauce - served by the waitress there. A Thai style chilies sauce , cili padi...and another blended chilies sauce...slightly sweet and sour...It is served together with the appetizers.

Appetizer Platter(RM36-Large) - consists of fish cake, "wan tan", spring roll wrapped with prawn or vegetable and fried prawn dumpling...i love the fish cake. It it slightly look like otak-otak but it is not...inside is slightly spicy....

Mango Salad (RM14) - shredded mango , cucumber and onions....and all mixed together with lemon juice and sprinkled with some nuts...the dish is quite sour and slightly salty and my bf totally give up on this. But somehow, other is ok with it...

Fried Beancurd with Chilies Sauce (RM15) - Deep fried beancurd which just nice to dip with the Thai chilies sauce. Nice to be eaten while still hot..

Asparagus with Prawn (RM18) - stir fry asparagus with prawn. It is a small portion which suits for 2-3 persons so is actually not enough for 11 of us...so eat of us can have a bite of it only....haha...The taste is quite nice.

Pandan Leave Chicken (RM32 for 5pcs) - a piece of boneless marianted chicken meat wrapped with pandan leaves and deep fried.

Thick Tom Yam Seafood Soup (RM39.90) - erm, to be honest, it dont seem like tom yam soup to us. Not enough spicy and sour...But it is quite salty. A pot is just enough for 2-3persons and so we ordered 2 pots. Inside the pot there is prawns, squids, mushrooms and fish meat. We found out that one of the pot, the prawn is not fresh. While the other pot, the prawn is ok. So, my side here got the not fresh one...so we just feel disappointed with it.

Chestnuts with Coconut Milk (RM8)- CY said this is one of the popular desserts in Thai cuisine. So some of us had ordered it to try. Erm, at 1st it look like normal cendol with coconut but when it scoop it...suddenly it turn pinky coz of the big red sogo(i guess) and makes it look like air bandung...haha...Quite refreshing too...but some say too sweet....

Mango with Sticky Rice (RM12) - I did not try the chestnut with coconut milk because i wan to eat this mango with sticky rice. hehe..I was sharing with some friends but guess what, all the rice is finish by me as they feel quite full and some are trying to finish their chestnut dessert. Erm, the sticky rice is still warm and slightly salty. It should be nicely to have a piece of mango and then a scoop of rice which dipped into the thick coconut milk..yummy yummy...

Anyway, the total damages for each of us is around RM39 which consider pricey to us but we are entitled for 15% discount since we are paying using HSBC credit card. The promotion is valid till end of this year.

Life-Size Baby Blue Whale in Midvalley Megamall

Have you all been to Midvalley Megamall lately? I have been there to unveil the secret of the baby blue whale...the baby blue whale sculpture is being display at the East Atrium. You can never imagined that a baby blue whale can be that big....haha..i wish it is a real 1....

By the time i reached there, many visitors trying to take a photo with the baby whale and at the same time, National Geographic has provide us with many details of info about the blue whale. Im lucky to be there to take a few shot for you all to enjoy...lol...

Side View

Besides that, there is also an area whereby we saw sourveniers(eg: t-shirt etc) of the blue whale being display for sale.

There are also some colorful baby chair / table being set there to let the kids to sit and enjoy the day

Sources of info where we can know from there:

A Blue Whale….

- Is the largest animal to have ever inhabited the earth – larger than any of the great dinosaurs and about twice the size of some of the better-known whales.
- can grow up to 100 feet. Length-wise, that is the equivalent of 2 city buses, bumper to bumper, and longer than an NBA basketball court. It is also the equivalent of 5 humpback whales.
- Can weigh up to 200 tones. It is heavier than 25 fully grown elephant combined – the equivalent of 2,557 humans.
- Has a heart the size of a mini cooper that can weigh close to 450 kilograms. A human could actually crawl through its major arteries.
- consumes an average of 4tons of tiny shrimp0like animals in one day. That’s the equivalent of 64,000 hamburgers.

Extreme Measures.....

At birth a blue whale averages 25 feet and weighs about three tons. Feeding only on its mother’s milk which is 40 percent fat, a calf gains nice pounds an hour. As an adult, it may easily stretch to twice the length of a city bus and weigh close to 200 tons.

Little Taiwan

Welcome to Taiwan....

hehe...I juz went there with 2 of my friends. Suppose we thought we would have Purple Cane Restaurant at The Garden but the end, we changed the place. Little Taiwan is located nearby the GSC Midvalley. Actually, it is recommended by my friends saying the drinks is nice there...So we just give it a try.

Before that i have actually taken my dinner. So i just order a drink only. My 2 other friends will be eating.

Peach Rainbow Crystal(RM6.90) - Nice name... It is like a ice peach tea added with many many jellies ...In the menu, i felt like so "juicy" ....but when the drink is serve, it like nothing special....kinda disappointed. But at least, i still finish it fast due to im really thirsty...lol

Hot Milk Tea (RM3.90) - I think it suppose to be same like other milk tea we can get in a cafe. My friend did not give any comment on it.

Hazelnut Red Milk Tea (RM5.90) - My other friend say this is nice. This is the 2nd time he drink this. If anyone love hazelnut, i think he/ she will love this drink too.

Little Taiwan Claypot Lao Su Fun (RM10.90) - It is a simple stir-fry"lao su fun" in a claypot with bean sprout, slices of mushroom, and taiwan sausages. It is little bit dry but at least my friend love the sausages.

Braised Pork Noodle with Spice(RM10.90) - Erm, i think i wont order this dish as it is kinda oily for me. But my friend say it is nice to eat. Suit for his taste. It is a mee soup with some vegetables and slices of braised meat.

Overall, the food and drink there are ok and price is reasonable. At least should be more healthy than eating fast food.
