Nasi Kandar [HTC] RM 8.50

(Lunch)

I caught the mother of all chickens with this one.
It's probably 2 breasts that are too small to be separated?
Also it's fresh.

Chicken Prosperity Burger Set [McD] RM 20.55

(Dinner)

I didn't realise I overspent, and I didn't choose the curly ones.
Damn. At least I took 5x onions which didn't overflow.

But hey "free" cup that changes colour based on temperature.

03 Dec 2024 (Tuesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.60

(Lunch)

8 pieces(?) But it tastes weird?
Was it because of the onion aftertaste I had? But this isn't like how I remember it to begin with..

Pre discount: 8.50

Roti Kahwin [Dapur Chilli] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

I feel that the sauces here are more, based on area2.
Assuming the plate to be the same size, the roti area is smaller.

I should explore more food options.

04 Dec 2024 (Wednesday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

A peek into the receipt, and it is indeed, 10 ringgit now.

Now that I think about it, the only difference with this and Warung Membawang is:

  • Bigger chicken (whole leg vs breast/wing)
  • Disappearance of Tempe & Tauhu (traded for bigger chicken)
  • Different chicken variety (vs always the same chicken)
  • No kriuk2
Then again, one can always pay +2 ringgit to get the whole leg.

2x Small Chicken Shawarma [Sky Malaysia] RM 7.00

(Dinner)

"Why don't you like spicy"
Well I like to adjust the spice levels according to my liking (I can't handle 1 shot)
"Oh he likes it original"

05 Dec 2024 (Thursday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.20

(Lunch)

8 pieces, with 2 bite sized ones.
It tastes like normal now.

I should try other meats, but fear of the unknown...

Instant Noodles RM 3.00

(Dinner)

I am, and will, be sick eating this.
2 eggs. "Tons of oil".
I either need more noodle variety, or straight up ignore this and just go down, order a meal to go, come back up, and cook the egg.

EDIT @ 11/12/2024:Paid 3.00 for 1/4 of the egg tray.

09 Dec 2024 (Monday)

Nasi Campur [Sky Malaysia] RM 11.00

(Lunch)

Is this Ayam Masak Merah? I must've forgotten how it tastes like.

  • Rice - 2.00 (2 scoops)
  • Vege - 3.00 (2 scoops)
  • Chicken - 6.00
I took too much sauce for the merah, it kinda contaminates the rice.
It's good otherwise.

2x Small Chicken Shawarma [Sky Malaysia] RM 7.00

(Dinner)

"Again? So nice meh?"
Good question, like it's good, it fills me, and it isn't rice.
Maybe that's a low bar to clear.

Can I get curry for the shawarma?

10 Dec 2024 (Tuesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.20

(Lunch)

This vege is a little hard to chew, same as the meat.

  • Vege: 1 spoonful
  • Meat: 2 scoops, adjusted
  • Rice: 1.5
I should pill myself whenever I feel off.

Aroii Thai [Food delivery] RM 10.00

(Dinner)

Last I had you was 12 Jun 2024. Still as good as ever.

  • Thai-style Chicken Fried Rice
  • Hat Yai Fried Chicken Wing (Gai Tod Hat Yai)

11 Dec 2024 (Wednesday)

Kuey Teow Goreng Sayur [Nur Char Kuey Teow Penang] RM 6.00

12 Dec 2024 (Thursday)

Set Ayam Kepak @ Dada [Warung Membawang] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Didn't ask for a change as it was heptic for them, didn't want to show I can't eat beans in front of my mates as well.

Roti Kahwin [Sky Malaysia] RM 4.00

(Dinner)

I got offered additional curry as well? Why not!
It tastes like goat version, whereas the original is more to fish?

13 Dec 2024 (Friday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 10.00

(Lunch)

Odin said there's pesticides on the lettuce, but I don't taste any. Patel ate finish his as well.
Up to rng then.

ALMOST FORGOR MY CUP NOOOOO

Thai Style Creamy Butter Pork Rice [Hinz Kitchen] RM 12.90

(Dinner)

Bigger rice to prepare my brain for the midterms.
I managed to finish it easily, with a piece left to pair with the vege.

Ty papa Odin for footing the tax. It'd be 13.67 otherwise.

  • Thai Style Creamy Butter Pork Rice - 10.90
  • Add Rice - 2.00

14 Dec 2024 (Saturday)

Chicken Rice [SEAMUN] Free

(Lunch 1)

Food is good, for some reason theres a star anaise here, but didn't bother me too much apart from the taste.
Traded in return for slaving my day away. I should get another packet to "get my work worth".
The soup is drinkable, the black sauce isn't as good compared to the chili.

Chicken Rice [SEAMUN] Free

(Lunch 2)

Well breast isn't as delighted compared with the wing.
I'm also mildly full now.

Briyani with Curry Chicken [SEAMUN] Free

(Dinner)

This is akin to a minefield, you will never know what you will bite into and corrupt your taste buds.
Didn't manage to eat the onions due to committments. Tons of them.

15 Dec 2024 (Sunday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

..? It's 9 now? It was the tall waiter doing it today.. huh.
The receipt literally wrote 10 the other day, granted today was receiptless.

There wasn't any of the chicken I liked at Dapur Chilli, so I came back here.

Nasi Goreng Tomyam [Dapur Chilli] RM 9.00

(Dinner)

Tastes like tomyam, contains onions and lemongrass.

Looking at the Nasi Goreng Ayam, it looks like a regular nasi goreng and plop a chicken at the side?
Sounds good.

16 Dec 2024 (Monday)

I wonder if I can request more white sauce.

That sounded wrong out of context.

17 Dec 2024 (Tuesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.50

(Lunch)

Meat could be better, but it's up to taste.
6-7 pieces, or was it 5? Not sure myself counting bones.

Mee Goreng Sayur [Nur Char Kuey Teow Penang] RM 6.00

Yellow noodles. It's like Kuey Teow but change the taste to noodles.

18 Dec 2024 (Wednesday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 9.00

(Lunch)

As confirmed by the receipt, it's 9 now.
"Then what's the point to raise it to 10?"

Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin [Sky Malaysia] RM 8.00

It's better to order the other variants, that's what I'll say.

Nasi Goreng Ayam [Dapur Chilli] RM 9.50

(Dinner)

The rice lacks meat, as expected... But it lacks in vegetables as well?
The chicken is nice though, though slightly drier at the drumette part, but nothing alarming.
Can I ask for more chili sauce?

30 Dec 2024 (Monday)

Nasi Ayam Penyet [Sky Malaysia] RM 10.00

Still the same as ever.

31 Dec 2024 (Tuesday)

Mixed Rice [Mama Homecook Mixed Rice] RM 7.50

(Lunch)

Didn't count the pieces exactly today, but it's around 3? scoops.
The pork is nicer today, but still chewy as usual.

Oops, a piece fell off.

Cheeseburger Combo [NAK NAK TRX] RM 28.80

(Dinner)

First time having this, final meal of 2024, and probably my biggest spend of the year.
The burger is good, the rice with the sauce is also good. The drinks are also free flow.
Able to finish it, but my mates who ordered boneless chicken + fries are not so lucky.

And with that, ends 2024.

A great month to be alive... Apart from the mishaps.
And with that, the 2024 season comes to an end.
RM 990.62

Dec 26:
Quite some damage this month, from tyres to battery.
Surely nothing will go bad in 2025... right?

Afterthoughts, Jan 1:
Started the month with what I thought to be an expensive day, only to top it out with a bang at the final day.
Tried new things, like being part of the SEAMUN crew, attempted 2 Interviews, & the 1st hangout with my mates.
Had my 2nd industrial visit as well, and also gotten to join the IT Society Committee.
