Food for One Week

As we want to stay home as much as we can, we went to Jaya Grocer in Gardens / Midvalley Mall on Sunday to buy food and grocery for next week. Quick dash in and out. Just read the news on Sunday 8 pm that there is a case in this mall. Oops.


Noticed that Isaac Toast which opened in June 2019 has now closed. I have not tried them because I cannot imagine paying more than MYR 10 for sandwiches.

Bought two sets of King Box promo. Swapped the soft drinks with bottled drinking water, Dasani by the Coca Cola Company.

Both pies are taro pies. The taro fillings have a milky taste to it. I like the taste but those who don't like milk taste wouldn't be able to stomach it.


One pie package ticked Taro, one pie package ticked  apple which refers to pineapples. But both pies are taro so someone put a taro pie inside a casing ticked for pineapple.

For pies aka turnovers, BK has taro and pineapple pies. One day I will go try their pineapple pies since they erroneously gave me a taro pie instead of a pineapple pie.


Big dine in area at BK, Midvalley mall. This place used to be Greyhound cafe.

Open area for dining, no aircond.

Not many people around.

Enter via front entrance and exit through the 2nd door.
So devoid of people.

One grilled chicken king box and one cheese burger king box at MYR 16.90 nett each. Whopper king box and spicy chicken burger king box costs MYR 19.90 nett. The bill states one pineapple pie but it turned out to be taro pie.


9 am - finished up the two packs of dry 3jc noodles as breakfast. This is my portion with lots of pickled green chilies.

11 am.While waiting for me to buy King boxes, had cham hot and cucur udang set at MYR 8.35 nett. Only 3 customers. I think everyone is taking the advice to just stay home. Pity the eateries here, not much business.

This scrub dots sponge costs MYR 7.30 nett and guarantee the pots and pans won't be scratched. The kitchen timer from daiso has no display (MYR 5.90 nett) so it is faulty.

The egg tart stall in swee Heng is closed so bought this egg tart from Sing Kee coffee shop in taman Desa. Crispy pastry with nice custard eggs fillings. Can buy more. 

For dinner at around 6.30 pm, we had some Bak Kut Teh with pork ribs soft bones and shared a big yam rice bought from Toh Guan at MYR 17 nett. Finished the yam rice and kept the remaining bkt for other days.

    1. Less people in Midvalley mall. The people are mostly in supermarkets. Eateries really quiet and empty, no customers. You can ask them for pineapple pie. The milky taste is very little only for taro. You don't like milk? But you eat cheese. Yes, how do you know? They just announced those who can work from home please work from home.

    2. Am jst guessing. My ex company has enforced all staffs to WFH on last Fri so i guess yours too since your office in Petaling area. Even schools are closing these days.

  3. Yes, quite a number of cases in a number of malls over at your side. Scary!!! Glad to see that people are staying safe, quite deserted the place.

    More than RM10 for a sandwich? I guess that will depend on what's inside. Many burgers are way over RM10 too.

    1. Burgers with quality beef patties usually cost over MYR 10 which is ok because of their quality beef patties. Isaac toasts don't have beef patties.

  4. I am trying to stay in and not go out unless necessary. So scary that there are some many covid-19 cases at malls. I like taro, maybe I want to try the taro pie.

    1. Yes, really scary. So far starling mall no case. Better to stay at home. You can buy the king box and request for taro pie. They have delivery on food panda I believe.

  5. I used to live near Sing Kee Coffee Shop along the main road and often ate there for breakfast, lunch and tea time. I miss their Kiam Chye Boey which was really like a signature dish.

    COMCO announced for Selangor and Klang Valley now. I feel so numbed.

    1. Ah, so the condo you are renting out now is near there. The roast duck in sing kee is very nice. I didn't know they have kiam chye body too. Thanks for the info. I must go buy the kiam chye body as takeaway. Yes, cmco to stop the spreading. Is a must else cos 69 cases in selangor on Monday. so no dining in for two weeks. Please think good thoughts and exercise at home to generate endorphins so you will feel happy and not numbed.

  7. How does Dasani taste to you? In my kids’ college when they give out Dasani water for free nobody wants it. They said it’s salty.

    1. This Dasani water is mineral water. So for mineral water, it has a bit of saltiness.

  8. Too many shopping malls with cases now. Hopefully this CMCO will reduce cases to before-Sabah elections level.

    1. This cmco will work if everyone follows the sop strictly. Need to wait for two weeks to see results.
