A Marketplace Restaurant is a Foodcourt

Posted by spymama on Nov-18-2008

I went to Marche over the weekend. And it was terribly crowded. Sigh… Waiting for food took a while. Marche concept is similar to foodcourt, except that it is a Swiss foodcourt. It is like a marketplace actually.

You bring your cards, order your food, let them scan it in for payment later upon exit. Then you can go browze and buy other food or stand there while they cook your food on the spot. When you order food like grills and steaks and there is a queue, it’s just terrible. If I go back to my table and come back, I won’t know if my food is ready. And if I wait there, I may wait for a while. Terrible, huh. After this experience, I think the next time I want to have a nice grilled steak or seafood, I’d go to Jack’s Place. At least I know once my food is ready, it’s delivered hot to my table. Because by the time I go hunt for a vegetable in Marche, I am lost at where to wait. sigh…

Peculiar Habits?

Posted by spymama on Nov-4-2008

Ever since I started using the internet in the 90s, it has been an ongoing effort to resist the temptation doing online shopping from the massive websites available in cyberspace. One of the most items that I have bought online over the years are books, especially cook books that I can never find in the local bookstores here. And the prices are also reasonable too. I guess my diet of cook books never wavered. The only peculiar habit that I have is that I will buy 2 copies of them because I must confess that I have this habit of collecting books in their mint condition so one is used for browzing while, one is for keeps.

If you find yourselves having some weird confessions to make in your online shopping habits or just anything, why not take part in this contest that can win you some money. Take a look at this video here.

If you join this contest and is being referred by my blog, maybe I might also win some money. Wouldn’t that be great for both of us? The site for registration is http://www.shopandconfess.com/index.php/contest/member/register/ so do hurry up and confess, everyone!

Zara’s Lovely Award

Posted by spymama on Sep-3-2008

Created By Zara

This Zara is so nice. She is giving me awards after awards. What can I say. Spymama wants to do some lovely awards too but gonna get that darn photo editing software first. Then only can send out. But in the meantime, Spymama just do some happy somersaults first.

I’ve been recovering from a bad throat. Perhaps I had too much durians. I was feeling a little hot yesterday in the afternoon. Took some paracetamol and slept. Woke up and had some cooling tea but lucky perspiration made me better.
