Winning Wednesdays with Food

Wednesday, April 8, 2009
Went out to have lunch with Aira and Zani. After picking up Aira from PTE Katok, we decided to spend our time in Gadong since Zani needed to print up some passport photos for his visit to the MOE. Walking to the photo shop I met a familiar face, well on photo. I thought they would pull Arif's picture down but atleast his face will now be recognized by the hundreds of ladies who are now falling for his charm as we speak. Good for you Reeve!

Arif, when I say you'll be surrounded by women someday with camera's chasing you everywhere, I didn't mean it this literally.

We went to where our stomach leads us. In Ideal Cafe and Restaurant, to be precise, which homes the very delicious and highly craved-for Cheesy Fries. Hehehe, anyway.We had this discussion whether Ideal, despite titling itself as 'Cafe & Grill', can be considered a Fast Food restaurant. They sell Fries, Chicken, Spaghetti and Sodas over the counter; Serve it like we're in a fast food restaurant; and those working there are in uniform which are similar to other Fast Food restaurants.

Cheese Fries...YUMMY!

"Well Zani," I started. "They serve Spaghetti fresh, compared to the sloppy yet apparently flavorful Jollibee Spaghetti. Secondly, the Chicken here is grilled and it takes much longer to grill chicken than to fry them. Last but not least, the customer service here are nice ^^ ". No offense to the rest. I love Kentucky Fried Chicken, McD Fries and Jolly Beef Burgers with that secret special sauce which is obviously ######## ###### sauce, can't fool me ^^.

It's still Halo halo you know?

Of course, after lunch, craving for dessert is inevitable so we went to Jollibee for to buy some Creamy Kaya(I was then already tasting Creamy Kaya in my mouth, yum!). I wondered then why they changed the name from its original title Halo-Halo? Did they change it to Creamy Kaya to better suit the malay community from trying out a dessert unfamiliar to them? I say its a good marketing strategy by introducing the same product with a more malay tasty name. I mean who doesn't like Kaya?
