Not about sales but about shopping

Dragon-i RM1 chicken and Citibank promotion

When I first heard of the RM1 soy sauce chicken promotion at Dragon-I restaurant I was sceptical. What on earth can RM1 get you these days? But one day I went to try it and to my surprise, it was a whole spring chicken cooked in soy sauce. All for RM1.

The conditions are:-

  • You cannot take away the chicken
  • You must have minimum 3 persons dining or if 2 persons you must order a minimum of 3 dishes

We had 3 persons so it was great and the chicken wasn’t too shabby. For RM1 I mean. The promotion runs till 30 April 2009.

While we were there our order exceeded RM50 which qualified us for a free Shanghai Dumpling (Xiao Lung Bao) if you use a Citibank Card to pay. However, the condition required that you leave your Citibank card with them.

I was wary. Haven’t these people heard of identity theft protection? You aren’t supposed to leave your credit card all over the place!

Krispy Kreme Opens in Malaysia!

When it was first announced that Krispy Kreme donuts would be in Malaysia soon, the excitement level was so high you’d think it was the latest boy band coming to Malaysia :P

Having eaten J.Co Donuts which I hear shares the Krispy Kreme recipe, I am not that impressed. Then again, I’m not a donut person so who am I to judge right?

Krispy Kreme sure knows how to make an entrance though. They promised a dozen free doughnuts every week for a whole year to the first person in line when the store opened on 27 April 2009 (Monday). I joked with a friend to start queuing from Saturday evening.

We would have been too late because the first person in line at Krispy Kreme queued from FRIDAY for 65 hours! 65 hours!

They win a year’s supply of doughnuts of a dozen doughnuts a week. I reckon at the end of the year they’d either be dead sick of glazed doughnuts or looking for the best diet pills to take care of the pounds that would have piled on by then!

Still, kudos to them for their patience. I’m going to wait till the furore dies down before going to take a bite of the famed glazed doughnuts that someone would queue 65 hours WITHOUT BATHING for. Ew…

Its Ice Cream galore!

When someone called me excitedly to tell me about free eye cream I was excited too… until I realised it was free ICE CREAM – the line was bad :P

Anyway, New Zealand Naturals has been giving away limited quantities of free ice cream to those born in certain years which they will disclosed on Facebook and through email.

I have been monitoring the years so far but damn! Its all so recent! There are NZN fans who aren’t born in the 80’s too you know! Hope they get round to realising that soon. Or maybe those born in the 80’s are the ones with the spending power at the moment? Hmm… food for thought eh?

Secret Recipe Pocket Savers

If you are on an appetite suppressant you might want to give Secret Recipe a miss these couple of weeks. If you aren’t and are up for a good bargain meal, then you might want to have a Secret Recipe Pocket Savers meal.

I saw this at the Secret Recipe at Lucky Garden Bangsar yesterday. RM9.90++ for a meal which is pretty affordable in an air conditioned clean environment. This week you get Singapore Laksa and next week, you get Spagetti with Meatballs.

I wanted to try it but I wasn’t keen on Laksa. Maybe next week I’d give it a go. You can check the different dishes on offer each week for RM9.90 by clicking here.
