Saturday at Mergong Tesco

After breakfast, we decided to go to town to get some Cat 5 cable for the new church. After we were done getting it, we decided to drive by Mergong Tesco to see whether it was packed. To our surprised, it wasn't. So we went in. It was quite easy to find a parking.

The little one was obviously excited at the idea of being there as the last 2 attempts to bring her there were not successful as both times, our attempts were thwarted by the long lines of cars.

Anyway, this Tesco is by far the nicest shopping complex in town; partly because it is the newest and also because it really is quite nice inside. Plus point is the food outlets. You have the usual big names like KFC and Pizza Hut. But there were quite a few others to choose from as well as the food court.We went up to TechZone where I got myself a new HDD 120G, mainly to be the Time Machine for my MacBook. Painless way for backups. And we also got ourselves a DLink DSL2840T Wireless ADSL Router.

Then we finally went shopping for groceries in Tesco. One thing I like about it is finally, I don't have to go to Penang to get all the cold cuts and also the bacon strips; even though Tesco's mainly seem to be of one brand only at the moment, MeaTy. Previously if we want the latter, we had to get it whenever we went to Penang. So, I think this will probably make some people quite happy.

Had lunch at Noodle Station....mee at KL price, that's what probably most the Alor Star folks would say. But for me, at least there are more choices available to people.And while we were eating, we could see people queuing up for their donuts at Big Apple.It's still doing a roaring business!! But if you get bored with just donuts...there's always this....at King's Confectionary. I think the rest of the cake /bread shops in town will be in for a stiff competition in the coming months.Related Posts:
