Retail Therapy at 1 Borneo Hypermall Part 2

Yesterday I had one piece of the prawn noodles brought over from Hong Kong by Paul Lok for breakfast. Before he came over, he did mention that the ones being sold loosely taste better than the ones sold in boxes. He bought two dozens pieces for me. True enough, when I started to eat them, the noodles tasted even better than the ones my brother bought in Hong Kong last year. I did not know the noodles can taste even more delicious. Haha!

I went to 1 Borneo Hypermall again to spend the remaining of my RM200 worth of vouchers which I exchanged with my colleague. I saw a few people I know before I even had the chance to touch foot inside Tune Store.

Once again I went to the clothing department to see whether I could find any clothes I like. I found three I like from Nicole. I brought them all into the fitting room to try but I did not like one of them. As soon as I took off the clothes I had tried, to my horror, I saw one by one small red dots appeared on my neck. It was such an ugly sight. To make it worst, I was wearing an open neck blouse. My skin is very sensitive and therefore the rashes must have appeared because the clothes are not clean. Argh! (After putting some cream on the small red dots last night and tonight, the rashes are subsiding).

I wanted to get more footwear and was trying on so many pairs of shoes from NYC (the same brand I bought last week). All throughout my life, I always have problems finding the footwear that I like to wear. As my legs can only fit size 3 footwear, more often than not, the footwear has to choose me instead of the other way round. I also try not to wear high heels too often since I have a back problem. At least I managed to get two pairs of footwear from NYC.

At the kitchen department, I managed to find two pairs of scissors for kitchen use. Mum always complained that the scissors I bought would turn blunt very quickly. I hope this time the scissors would last longer since they are supposed to be made in Japan.

I learnt a hard lesson from last week’s retail therapy. This time I put all the things I want to get at the cashier first and went out from this outlet to window shopping at other outlets.

After walking around for a while, I finally got to the Second Floor where Daiso Japan outlet is.

Everything for sale such as stationery, gift boxes, kitchen stuff, household stuff, etc in this outlet is RM5 each. But some of the goods are made in China, not Japan. There were a lot of people in this outlet. I bought these from this outlet.

These gift boxes for sale at Daiso Japan Outlet reminded me of the company I worked for in Sydney.

At first I wanted to come home for lunch but my stomach dictated otherwise. I ended up choosing Penang Village. I was struggling to choose between ‘Asam Laksa’ or ‘Penang Prawn Mee’. My colleague had recommended the latter so I chose the latter. This eatery was only half full when I walked in. I tried to take some photos of the menu but the dim lighting did not enhance the photos and I did not want to use the flash. So the exercise was totally redundant.

The soup for the Penang Prawn Mee was one of the best I ever had. It was so concentrated. But the noodles and the prawns were ok only. I almost finished drinking the whole bowl of soup. I was glad I did not order any drinks because the soup really filled me up. *burp*

After lunch I went back to Tune Store to get all my goodies before leaving. As I walked out from the hypermall, there were more people arriving by cars. The cars had to practically queue up to get into the carpark.

I enjoyed the retail therapy this time round because I had more time to walk around.
