In Pursuit of the Glorious Burger 2 : Grabbing Hands

Hello!! Its me again for another episode of the Cheeky's adventures. Check out my last adventure here.

Mommy said there are alot of burger joints mushrooming around the city lately and she wanted to continue with her glamorous "Glorious" title wa.  And what better than to visit the latest burger restaurant in Kota Kinabalu's latest completed commercial development i.e. Metro Town.  The development is located at Kolombong industrial township along the main road of Jalan Lintas. 

Grabbing Hands, that's the name of the restaurant we went to.  Unique name, isn't it?  What's unique about this place is its ambience with pretty arts on its walls. So pretty are the arts that upon careful observation, they are actually made from rubix cubes. 

Here's mommy acting cute. @_@ . Behind her is a rubix cubes art of Bob Marley. 

By the way, mommy wants you to check out her new hair colour.  She was at the hair salon that morning and thought the outcome looked fabulous. Oh So Vain! *rolls eyes.  Anyway, back to the topic, the arts are for sale.  This particular one behind mommy is yours for only RM9,500.00.

Grabbing Hands : Love Food, Love Art.  We Design Our Own Burgers & Hotdogs...  These are their professes.  The art part, mommy was fascinated.  The whole concept of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming.  She even started building images of spending time with friends playing catching up and gossiping. :P   

As for the food part, with hungry pangs hitting our stomachs, we ordered the followings :

Chicken Maryland Burger, RM20.00 

Beef Mylo Hotdog, RM18.00

Hi! Hi! Hi! Its me!!! I ordered the Chicken Hotdog in bolognese sauce, RM18.00

Mommy liked this photo and said she was artistic too as she managed to get nothing of the background except of people's....... asses legs. :P

Wicked Wings

I guess the verdict falls on my partner in crime who's a picky eater, my li'l brother, Manja.  And from the way things wrapped up for the night, its going to be one of the places to revisit.

This time, my mommy said her photo taking skills are better.  Instead of having a background nearing the floor, it has gone up and now its of breasts chests. :PPP

And that concludes another episode of Cheeky's adventures.  Till then...

Peace!!  

Photos captured using mommy's phone, this particular one taken outside the restaurant.  Above us is the signboard illuminated by light bulbs. Tsk, tsk, tsk, mommy's photo taking skills.

Desserts @ ZenQ Desserts Lintas Square

Hello, I'm Cheeky, the eldest son of my mom.  My mom is the owner of this blog.  Today, she'll be featuring me & my experience here.  I will be telling the story of my maiden visit to ZenQ Desserts Lintas Square, a Taiwanese dessert house offering a diverse range of traditional  hand made desserts.  Yup, this is my 1st trip there, since it opened for business many-many moons ago.  Errr, please do not be mistaken of my moons imagining a very old shop ya, 'coz this dessert house is fairly new operating since year 2011.

From the main entrance, this place always looks full.  Hence, the reason why we never patron this place until now.  But b'coz dad was the one driving #likeaboss & the afternoon heat was fuming him up, we ended here tasting my first ZenQ dessert.  Whee!!.... I love discovering new places and stuff. 

As usual, the place looked full with aunties, uncles, jie-jie & gor-gor, cooling in the air-conditioned shop.  We have no place to sit.  But do not be deceive, for there are more seats situated behind the shop.  They've decorated the area with a green patio feel.  And guess what?? Shaded with ceiling fans to ease the heat!!  So, it wasn't as hot as what mom had anticipate.  If you know my mom, she's a "leceh" person, cannot too hot la, cannot too cold la, cannot without breeze la, cannot too windy later "kacau" her hair la, too heaty later make-up melts la, cannot be dirty la, etc.  Sigh, GIRLS!!

OK boh?

The pic turned greenish 'coz the shade on top of the building is of greenish hue.   

Dad usually does the ordering while mom pays, and here's what I got:

Shaved ice with mix fresh fruits @ RM8.90

Digging time!! Sharing my yums with my li'l brother, Manja.

Pretty soon, mom wasn't as uncomfortable anymore as we had our big bowl of icy cool dessert.  Dad was no longer fuming too for he finished his bowl of taro+sago dessert which he felt the taste was ordinarily average only.  And soon more people were joining us sitting at the "green patio" area.  

Ahh!! Life is good, except for areas that looked unpleasing
eg. the unsightly bucket, mop & similar seen here.

Besides hot and cold desserts, they serve a variety of snacking items too.  So its not all drinks, but eat too.  Didn't order any on that day.  Nevertheless, click here to know more about ZenQ Desserts and locations throughout Malaysia.

So why not make yourself a trip there?  I would surely try out other varieties should I one day return.  For this, will need to depend on whenever dad and/or mom decide to savor, hopefully soon ;-).  Well, that's all I can say on this episode of my experience :-).

Oh ya, if you are wondering why my mom has not been blogging of recent, its because everyone is hogging the only notebook still functioning in the house.  The ones dad & I usually control broke down :-P  But pssst!!, tell you a secret, mommy is going to get her very own netbook soon. And according to her, it'll  be for her exclusive use & no more sharing.  Hooray!!  The existing one will be mine!!  I love you mom ♥ ♥
