Chicken Wings @ Jalan Alor & Roti Bakar Telur Cheese

Getting few days off during these Hari Raya festive holidays. Went to the Pavilion last Saturday and i was amazed by the crowds there. Most probably everybody is flocking to this newly opened shopping haven and try to get a hang on it. But then again, i wondered -- how many of those people were actually spending on those items that were on displayed? Not many.

With one exception. Restaurants were doing really well as far as i can see. People had to queue for donuts @ J.Co Donuts and Coffee. Since the queue's long, maybe i could give these donuts a try next time i go to the Pavilion.

Another outlet that needs to be mentioned was The Loaf. This bistro or cafe, whatever you call it sells variety of wonderful looking breads and was the brainchild of our ex-PM, Dr Mahathir. The original outlet is in Pulau Langkawi and i guess this could be their first outlet outside Pulau Langkawi. If i'm not mistaken, they planned to open similar outlets in New York, London, Paris, etc. Their box packaging looks really nice for takeaways.

Later that evening, we went to try Wong Ah Wah grilled chicken wings that was so famous @ Jalan Alor. Business there was also fantastic. The guy who served us said he never expect such a crowd that day. According to boo_licious, the chicken wings are so famous that Zak Pelaccio who used to work at Seri Melayu restaurant in Jalan Conlay had recreated this item in his famous restaurant, Fatty Crab in New York. Known simply as Jalan Alor Chicken Wings on his menu.

Few times i went to Spicy Kitchen at Bandar Menjalara with friends to yumcha but i never come across a food item called "Roti Bakar Telur Cheese". So after reading a post from boo_licious, i decided to go and try their famous Roti Bakar Telur Cheese this morning. Hehe.

Rugby World Cup Final - England vs South Africa

Well, who would think of England versus South Africa in the Rugby World Cup final this year? Certainly not me judging from the group match result of England versus South Africa earlier where England had been convincingly demolished by the Springboks.

New Zealand had again showed the world why they were labeled chokers in big tournament. Everything looked pretty in control after the first half against the host nation France in the quarter-final match and suddenly in the second half, they were rattled by the more disciplined and organized France.

Defending champion England have been improving ever since. Their plays are built around the solid defence. Ask France, and they will concur with me. At the ending stage during the semis, it seemed to me France were going to get a try but somehow England managed to weather the storm and get away unscratched. This proved how strong the mentality and group spirit within the England camp. Maybe the initial poor showings were the smokescreen from the England camp to deceit their opponents?

No comments on the Springboks but i hope they can bring the Rugby World Cup back to South Africa this time without any controversy like those surrounding their win in 1995. Hope this time they can win it fair and square. Period. And of course, restore the pride of Southern Hemisphere rugby nations.
