Nando’s : Malaysia

Whenever I go to Malaysia, I always make sure to eat at least once in Nandos. I just love their lemon and herb marinated chicken with mild peri-peri sauce! Also, prices are significantly cheaper compared to SG and other countries. Individual platter with ¼ chicken and 2 side dishes is around 21RM (250 PHP/6 AUD). I frequently order the ¼ lemon and herb chicken with chips, veggie salad, and iced tea. Since we are already in Malaysia for our trip to Legoland, we decided to have our πŸ‘dinner  in here before catching the bus to SG. 

AN: I don’t know why but I think that the food in Nando’s Malaysia tastes different from the one you can get in the Philippines and Australia. They are all under Nando’s but different taste. Is that possible? πŸ˜…

Very affordable!

Instagram worthy πŸ˜‰

Very fast. In my knowledge, they cook/prepare the food once orders are made. It took around 15-20 minutes for our food to arrive. Also, for all the times that I've been here (two location, Nandos KLCC and City Square JB) I didn't have to wait before we were seated. There is always a seat available! 😁

I love it! Chicken was cooked well. You can really taste the flavors and marinate. Special mention for their salad dressing. I forgot what it is called but I think its the best dressing I've tasted.

Taipei Taiwan Travel Video

Hello hello! πŸ˜€

I'm too lazy to sort out and edit pictures from my recent travel ( I got around 1000+) right now. For the mean time, I decided to just post a video. I was planning on showing a short snippet for each place I visited. However, I found out that I was not able to take video in some places. πŸ˜‚

I'll try to find some motivation and battle my laziness in order to sort/edit pictures and write the actual blog post.

I put "ft. Bro Bear" in the video because he was my companion for the duration of this trip.

Places we visited:

  • Shifen
  • Jiufen
  • Shilin Night Market
  • Taipei Zoo
  • Maokong
  • Zhinan Temple
  • Dazhi Bridge
  • Raohe Night Market
  • Taipei 101
  • Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
  • Ximending

AN: I am LOVING the emoji feature right now. If you notice from my recent posts, I'm now using EMOJIs! πŸ˜‰

Minato Box Opening Video

Here is another video that had been rotting in my draft for years. I finally had the time/motivation to edit and upload a box opening video for one of my dolls. I purchase him from Alice's collection when they still offer dolls from Illusion Spirit. During that time they also offered a 15% discount for doll purchased, free face up and free international shipping for purchases over $300. 😁

BJD's are mostly pre-ordered. This means that I had to wait for about 30 days for production and face-up (make-up) plus additional days for the actual shipping. Luckily, Alice's Collection used FedEx for doll shipping and it was a door-to-door delivery. (AN: Sometimes they use local international post for shipping that takes about 30 days to arrive and I had to go to the post office to pick-up the items)

Unfortunately, I had to pay the customs duty upon receiving the items which amounted to around P2,800. When you check the receipt, customs fee is only around P1,000. The other fees were charged by FedEx for processing everything (customs pick-up and answering the forms).

Along with My Zhuyin doll, I also purchased some clothes, shoes, and wig.  

Excuse the surroundings, I filmed the box opening in my Brother's room because we had some visitors that day. My parents let them use my room to rest πŸ˜…. I was so excited to film and didn't want to wait for them to leave. I did have the chance to get my other dolls and transfer them to my brother's room. πŸ˜‰
