Autocity.... hard times???

I learned 2 things on our usual stopover at Autocity in Juru on the last trip back...

The first is I noticed 2 outlets had closed their business.. must've happened in Jan cos they were still in operation when we made our stop there in December. The first casualties of the economic downturn....

Brand name still draw in crowds. Cos the established names were still standing. Guess maybe they're more popular. Son pestered us to go to Swensen's as he wanted to try their Apple Crumble. The place was full to the brim.... maybe cos it was holiday season... and the traffic was heavier than normal. Anyway, no Apple Crumble for him. He took a burger instead... which was okay. You can't go wrong with burgers! Even the cheap roadside burgers made of all the unwanted parts taste good. I tried their Clam Chowder in the bread... nothing spectacular.

Ordered ice-cream for the lil one.... it was a total let down. A brand that is well-known but either my taste buds have undergone a huge change or their quality has dropped. Even the Wall's premium range taste much better! Anyway, this was one makan trip to Autocity which was a let down.... and also a reminder of grim economic times ahead.
