Azuma- Japanese restaurant at Penang Queensbay Mall

Finally I am able make a visit to Azuma after hearing good comments from friend. Azuma have 5 different prices of each color plate from RM1.80-RM7.80.

We have ordered soft shell crab set which is a promotion set. The set was less than RM20 which worth the price and it was delicious.

Also we have order the muchroom fried rice which seldom able to get it in Sakae Sushi and Sushi King. I can't forget how delicious it was after tried it for the first time.

We have order the Salmon head soup which is kind like Salmon Kabuto Miso in Sakae Sushi. The different was the Salmon was fried in Azuma. I prefer non fried one. The soup was tasty and i can taste the freshness in Salmon Kabuto Miso at Sakae Sushi.

 

I personally like the customer service that i get in Azuma. They also free us the Nestum ais krim that we can taste at the end.

Confinement life

Any ones like confinement? I don’t like confinement totally. I need to follow a lot of pantang although I am not sure it was the right thing to follow. The concept was better suffers only for 40 days.  It would make my life better later. I can’t imaging I don’t take bath for 22 days. The first child I still can tahan for 28 days. Haha..

I stay at De-Garden confinement home for the 2^nd baby confinement. From the first day stay. I was counting down the day back to home, counting down the day when I can bath and etc. Almost every confinement mother had the same emotion (home sick) like me.Do you agree with me?

Confinement home will provide 5 meals a day. The meal will serve every 3 hours. Almost same like baby eating time except for night time.

The most enjoyable things in De-Garden confinement were the food. I was enjoying eating the food prepare by Ah Bee( Cook in De-Garden confinement home). She was a good cook. She will try to cook the food that we ask her to make. So sweet and caring. Can’t imaging she always give me the biggest portion as I always can finish the food. She prepared pizza, chicken chop, spaghetti, oats and etc for the confinement food. Everyday looking the eating time. It was so delicious.

 My portion: 2 bowl of soup and big bowl of rice.











Normal portion: 1 bowl of soup and less rice.

 

Pizza..Yummy..Miss it a lot

Most people thinking i have a lot of rest time during confinement. I think No for mother who is fully breastfeeding. I need to express out the milk every 3 hours average to avoid breast engorgement and also express out the milk balance after direct feeding my baby.

Last thing that I miss in confinement is the friendship that was build. We help each others, encourage each other on the problem we faced and sharing experience.

Bad service at L*Z* Diamond at Lower Ground Penang Queensbay Mall

On 31st August 2010, my hubby and I brought 2 bracelets which need to repair spring hock and also repair the break apart bracelet in L*Z* Diamond at Lower Ground Penang Quensbay Mall. I went to L*Z* Diamond shop as I still keep one L*Z* Diamond receipt which I am not sure which bracelet belongs to. We show the L*Z* Diamond receipt to the sales persons and they told us that the receipt was belong to break apart bracelet. Thus, we only paid RM138 to change the spring hock for the 2 bracelets and they accept the receipt to repair the break apart bracelet for free service. They inform us to redeem back after 16 September.

On 17th September 2010, I went to redeem back the break apart bracelet around 2pm with my colleagues. I wear the bracelet in my wrist on the spot to make sure the bracelet is well repair. They also return back the receipt to me. Unfortunately, I found out the bracelet break apart again around 5pm.

I asked my hubby to brought the break apart bracelet to the L*Z* Diamond with the receipt at the same day around 6pm. To his surprise, the sales person claim the receipt item description is not match with the break apart bracelet. But, it is the same receipt which they just return me during noon time. They request him to get the right receipt for the repair for free service. I went back to the shop to understand the situation. To my surprise, they told me the same thing. They blame Anthony, one of the sales persons which make mistake. I questioned the sales person:
(1) Why they not inform me incorrect receipt when I redeem the bracelet
(2) Why they still repair the break apart bracelet although found out incorrect receipt and give back to me.
(3) There was not only 1 sales person with us when they inform the receipt was belongs to break apart bracelet on 31st August.

The sales person told me that they can’t help without the right receipt. Another thing to note is the bracelet break apart on another portion of the bracelet when I showing them the bracelet. I am not sure the bracelet is so fragile after they repair it or is it because of the poor design from L*Z* Diamond.

It was really a bad experience that happens to us at L*Z* Diamond. What do you think and what would you do if you facing similar situation?

Sakura Bento

I would like to recommend Salmon Belly Sushi if you are raw fish lover. Salmon Belly meat taste different with other part of Salmon meat. Salmon belly is indeed loaded with fat, but is often considered the tastiest part of the fish.
