Arenaa Diner @ Jalan Tun Perak , KL

I got to know this restaurant when my friends told me that there's a cafe opposite SEGi College  offering a lunch special for RM10++ . My course mates asked me to give this diner a try since we ate around college until we got bored. Usually my course mates & I will come to this diner when we have a long break time.  As a college student here, I don't find any delicious food here because of always eating the same food like McD , chicken rice, back streets food or mamak stalls.

This is the shop name & slogan.

The interior of the shop. While waiting for our food, one of the waiters mopped the floor under my chair. Actually we wanted to sit somewhere in the middle of the restaurant but the waiter insisted us to sit at the last 2 tables. After we ordered our food, the waiter started mopping the floor below my chair. (=.=!)

 From the menu you can see a wide range of food, ranging from pasta , burger , japanese rice bowl & so on. The price is affordable too as you can see from the picture. There is a beef burger called Sloppy Joe for RM12 & my course mates said it was delicious yet can feel the beef juiciness. 

This is another side of the menu offering side dishes , desserts, soup & drinks. What caught my attention from here is the milk's shake from RM5 to RM6. In KL so rarely you can find a milk shake that is so affordable. I will try that next time! 

Today lunch special offered BBQ chicken (RM10++). Three of my course mates ordered this. Everyday they offer different food for lunch special. I have tried Japanese Curry Katsu chicken , Japanese Bowl Rice & Mushroom chicken. Those lunch special tasted good for me and my course mates too.

Side dishes that we ordered called karaage or nuggets (RM5++). I can taste the chicken meat

better than the popcorn chicken sold in KFC . You can see steam coming out when you have the first bite. lol

Here comes my chicken katsu burger (RM9). Although this is not the 

best burger I have ever had but the combination of the chicken with the cheese & wasabi coleslaw 

is perfect. Actually the wasabi is inside the mayonaise & it's not a very strong wasabi. It taste just nice for me. Overall is still better than McD burger & value for money also!

By topping up RM1 you will get Iced lime tea. This is better than iced lime juice maybe because

I don't like sour taste.

There is a stage at here. Maybe at night there's a live band.

I didn't spot this inside the diner until my course mates told me. 

Some beer inside the fridge right in front of the shop.

This shop is located at the corner & ground floor of Arenaa Mountbatten Hotel. Wanted to take picture of the shop but it turned out I took a picture of the motorcyclist kissing? lol

A&W PJ Drive In

If you have felt that A&W is disappearing, you are not hallucinating.
The A&W outlets in Malaysia are closing down one by one.

You can read this article to find out why:
KUB to exit fast-food biz by year-end

Andrew and I decided that we should dine in A&W while there are still a few outlets open.

We asked Amelia to come along too.

I like the A&W in PJ because they have the diner feel. 

Very classic.

They even have the drive-thru signboard.

The signboard says that you can drive-in and it's open for 24 hours.

There were lots of people flocking A&W that night.

We could see families and couples dining.

Almost no parking spaces.

If you have children on tow with you, you can let them sit on some of the rides available outside the diner.

If I am not mistaken, it costs 50 cents.

I saw a grandfather letting his grandchild sit on the ride.

His grandpa went inside to ask how much the ride costs and I overhead :P

Lovely grandpa!

Here are some of the things that you can see once you enter the diner.

I made it look a bit classic. :P

The original colour!

My dad said when he started working in KL years ago (when he was still a young man and I'm not sure whether he married my mum yet. LOL), he always ate the coney dogs.

From this we know that this diner is OLD!

There's some history in this building.

Imagine all the good times and bad times people could have experienced in here.

Of course we have the famous mascot!

I find it interesting that we order and pay for everything at the counter and then we wait for our waffles at another station.

It saves time and keeps the crowd moving.

Try to spot Andrew (for those who met him before XD) in the picture below.

The waffle and ice-cream station!

The three of us shared a large root beer float, curly fries (I love them) and an ice-cream waffle.

The root beer tasted flat. It was like it was not carbonated anymore.

The ice-cream was already melting when it was handed over to us at the counter.

Usually it would look round and solid.

Something wrong with the ice box that night probably.

Anyway, it was still an enjoyable drink.

The fries was awesome and crunchy when it was still warm.

This branch still serves the best A&W waffles.

It was vanilla ice-cream with Hershey's chocolate syrup.

We find that the chocolate syrup tasted more authentic than the strawberry syrup.

Once, I ordered butter and maple syrup waffles in another A&W branch that resembled a fish to me.

I used lines and circles to help all of us see what I saw.

It reminded me of Flounder, the yellow fish from The Little Mermaid.

From our seat, we saw an old picture of A&W.

Look at that!

Hot dogs were only 10 cents in the US at that time. 

Root beer was 5 cents.

The receipt below showed how much we spent that night.

If you're wondering whether A&W is halal, it is.

Free Wifi is also provided.

Best to have your fill of A&W before they are gone from Malaysia forever!
