Movie Review: Turbo

26th July 2013,


TURBOOO!!!!



Seriously, this movie was epic. 

WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!

The story is about a snail, obsessed in racing. It lives in a colony in a garden and works with the house's tomatoes. One day after messing up major time with the other snails, he ran off and ended up on a street racing car. It was then sucked into the car's machine and miraculous survived after drowning in the Nitro Boost, supposedly gave him super power.

So, the story is very unique. Instead of Superman, DreamWorks created a SuperSnail :D The story has moral and in a way really encourage children to never give up in achieving what they want in life. When I saw Ga-ahem-Guy Gagne in the story, it turned to me that the story are more fitting to adults. To encourage adults that in this cruel and hard world, you can still achieve the dreams you had and have. Even when who you look up to screw you up, you still have the chance to shine.

Not only the morals, the sound effects were SUPER AWESOME! It really gave the race feeling. Even with the snails! #LOL 

At the end of the movie, I'm trying so much harder not to give a standing ovation :')

All in all, I'm giving a 8-9-10/10 <3 
Really don't wanna oversell it but...

Manhattan Fish Market Review

26th July 2013,

Hi everyone! Its my day off after my graduation and I seriously am pissed. For starters, my certificate is not out yet, so I couldn't legalise it yet in the department of Education. therefore I need to come back to Malaysia to legalise it around December.

Sadly, that's not the reason I'm fuwious. (Anyone watched BBT? Kripky's speech is so adorable!) I'm fuwious because of a certain restaurant called Manhattan Fish Market.

Instead of going to Putrajaya to legalise our 'cough cough' documents, we (as in me and Connie <3 ) head to Alamanda shopping mall for lunch and my search for Revlon Colourstay.

We enter hoping for lunch, we ordered the 'Set of the Year' with a Revive Tropical Breeze and a Revive Gummy Bear as beverage. 

In this set are: 
  • One Manhattan Flaming Seafood Platter, 
  • 1 Garlic Herb Mussels,
  • 2 Drinks (With the choice of Revive Coca Cola/ Revive Gummy Bear/ Revive Tropical Breeze)


All for RM 53.90
(Meaning RM 26.95 per person!)

Let me give a spoiler, the appetisers awesome! <3 <3 <3 The Gummy Bear is super cute, and freshening! Sadly, the food sucks.

What? The food sucks you say?

Yes. My platter was a disaster!!! Let me describe my worst RM 30 per person meal.

The rice: 
  • Hard, 
  • Brittle,
  • It tastes weird
  • It frickin smells like cheap rice,
  • Its cold, not butter soft and snaps like cheap rice.


Fish: 
  • Fish fillets are FTW babes!!!


Prawns: 
  • Crunchy, 
  • Chewy, 
  • Cheapsome!!! Cheaply Awesome!


Squid & Clam:
  • Mushy, 
  • Soft (in a way that makes you go EWW after a few pieces.


Vegetables: 
  • Okay. As in just OK.

French Fries:
  • Well, more like not crunchy.


The Saving Grace was in the Appetizers! At least not all of the RM 30 went wasted!

Appetizer: 
  • Mussels are FTW


Drink:
  • Gummy bear; Was OK


and yet still!!! Can things get so ridongkulous?

Service: 
  • Two staffs (not waiters) didn't understand when I say: "Can you reheat the food please?" Like WTF?


Rate:  2/5 (and yes, the Mussel Appetizers saved the day from a 2 my friend would give.)

VERDICT: I wouldn't go to Manhattan Fish Market again for lunch. For a student like me, RM 30 is a big amount. In my place, a normal Mamak food costs approximately RM 6- 8 a dish. Okay, at least not in Alamanda branch again.

This wasn't my first time eating in MFM Alamanda. I went there few months prior for a lunch with my Boyfriend and the food was as bad. Damned it. I thought it was because we used a Groupon Food Coupon, so they gave us the more 'uglier' food. Turns out that it was like that all along.



If you think this is mean, my friend's review:

  • The rice smelt like flead rice
  • It was cold when it arrived on our table
  • The fries are mushy, soft and tasteless.
  • The squid was too salty but allowed to pass
  • The veggies were pale
  • The prawns were okay
  • and The Scallops were a saving grace.

So here are some pictures of the food. I still can feel that sucky rice every time I see it. 

 Yes, it looked delicious... BUUUTTTTT...!!!!

 LOOK! Dry! Sticky! ICKY! UGLIEE!!!!! #ChokeMFMAlamanda
