What I like about shopping in Kuala Lumpur is I can get more with the same amount I pay in Miri, not only in quantity and quality but also I have more choices to make. Some free gifts are only applicable in West Malaysia! It is not fair - you pay more for the same item in East Malaysia and yet no free gifts.
One con is too many choices that you end up spending hours at the supermarket! And that was what happened at TESCO last night - almost 3 hours!
I usually go to HERO supermarket, which is the nearest but wanted to experience a different atmosphere. I have been to JUSCO. I have been to CARREFOUR. I have been to GIANT. And for a change TESCO.
HERO is from Indonesia, JUSCO is from Japan, CARREFOUR is from France, GIANT is from United States and TESCO is from United Kingdom. Very interesting grocery retail outlets, it is fortunate that we get the feel of these international supermarkets right here in the capital city of Malaysia. TESCO even have their own packaging, competitively priced, compared to other brands.
.............Anyway, I am happy with what I could get in Miri.......don't have to waste too much time choosing...............just buy what is needed only.

Noise Pollution
Tuesday, 9 January 2007
There is one thing I don't like about living in a city and that is noise!
Continual noise of vehicles passing day and night.
The distinctive noise of piling during the day.
More noise of ongoing development projects, on one side of the condominium.
and another side.........eeeeeeee

Dressed Chickens for 2.99 MRinggit/kg
Friday, 29 December 2006
It was quite noisy at the meat section of the Hero Supermarket, Cheras. There was a row of people queuing at the dressed chickens section, especially at the whole chickens corner. The 2 male shop attendants were busy weighing the chickens, putting them in plastics and passing them back to the customers.
It then occurred to me that today was Friday evening and coming Sunday, the Muslims were celebrating Hari Raya Haji, an Islamic festival in conjunction with the Haj pilgrimage.
Not only was that the reason why the many customers were buying the chickens. I saw the price tag hanging at that counter as 2.99/kg!!
I don't know whether you have come across such a cheap offer before. For me, I couldn't believe my eyes! It was not because there was a bird flu epidemic. I don't know whether the other supermarkets in the city were selling their dressed chickens at this special price as well. I think it was a charitable act of the management or whoever owns the place because Hari Raya Haji festival also commemorates Prophet Ibrahim (Koran) or Prophet Abraham (Bible) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael to God.
But in order to enjoy this price, customers were entitled to only 1 whole dressed chicken for every 20 MRinggit purchase at the supermarket. I am not sure some of the customers realised this condition because I saw some baskets filled with 3-4 chickens with no other purchases. It was only at the cashier counter that the appropriate number of chickens were checked against the amount purchased of the other items in the supermarket.
Never have I bought a dressed chicken for less than 5 MRinggit!
