There Is Half-Free Meal In These World

Economic Crisis nowadays. Those got strong foundation in behind may still hold against the big waves hitting. And to those that may not yet have the stable foundation, they are forced to cut cost on their production to cover up their expenses that lots of people were ask to leave from the companies, factories, offices, shops and etc. Unfortunately to those that can't make it, they have to shut down their factories or companies. The prices of raw materials are growing up high that had made the products produced from it also got expensive. The price of oil increases that automatically also increases the cost of shipping.

Last time I can get a bowl of Kolomee in Miri with just RM1.80 and now it'd increased to RM2.30/bowl due to inflation in flour & oil. Not only happened in Malaysia, but also to Brunei too! Still remember that last time we can get a pack of rice with choice of one meat and one vegetable that only cost us B$1.00 and now the price also increased that we're paying extra B$1.00 or B$0.50! And I did paid B$4.00 for one pack of rice in Sumbangsih. Just like eating in restaurant already. That must be I chosed varieties of dishes! Ah-Yong, no comment from him! Tam Chiak. Haha~ And then last time, when we're taking away [Tapao] Kolomee. The restaurant would use white plastic container and now somes had use plastic and newspaper wrapping around it. It's told that it can save up the expenses.

In Brunei, things aren't as bad as other. We don't suffer that much compare to other countries that thousands had lost their jobs, big companies, factories is closing down and etc. With just B$1.00, we still can get a packet of Nasi Katok that still can satisfy our hunger. Hahaha! But things are not the same as before that people spend their money wisely, which should be spend and which should not be spend. People don't spend money like the running water from the opened water-tap! People buys things that are cheap or in a bargained price. People saving more money each months!

There is no free meal in these world that we have to pay when we want to eat. We have to buy rice, cooking oil, vegetables, raw meats to be cook. When we go restaurant, we have to pay too. And when we go out for hanging out with friends. We may just only order drink so we don't spend more... When we don't spend more, we can save more... =D

Coconut Milk Shake

Oreo Milk Shake

As mentioned above, things aren't that bad here. There may not have free meals in these world but we may have half-free meals in Brunei! Hehehe.

Fried Keow Tiaw [Dry]

Tomato Fried Keow Tiaw [Wet]

Black Pepper Lamb Chop that serves with Fries

It's because its half-free meal!!! I'm visiting there for the second time again. A realistic & cheapskate author we got here. Hahaha! One of the thing we pursue in our life is Worth! Is it worth that we do these? Is it worth buying these and that? Is he/she worth for you doing everything? When its worth everything, we'll do it whatever it takes... Even though it's half-free meal, the cook also didn't give half discount in the quantity of the ingredients too. Which it's very worth even though I'm identify as "Cheapskate" or "Realistic"! haha.

Tauhu something-something... It's tastes like ROJAK...

But for the least I'm not selfish here... Not keeping these for myself. I'm sharing it with mr.Joshua and here with you all! haha...

[Sharing is Caring] =)

And he got himself these on that night!

"Sunrise or Sunset Fried Rice"

And I got myself these...

American Fried Rice!!!

And I don't know what I becoming when I'm Hungry!!!

Please nooooo, I'm sure I wouldn't like it...

Aaarrrrggggghhhhhh!!!

All the drinks & foods above do look tempting and can feel its tastiness from it! It's half-price from its original price which is 50% discounts on ALL the foods & drinks! No more hesitating there, let's bring families, relatives, friends go and enjoy those tasty foods... Let's be "Cheapskate" once in a while. Especially during the economic depression!!! Hahaha.

Yeah! Valentine day is around the corner now! It's on the 14th February! Gossh, middle of the month again. A lot to spend on valentine... No worries also because there is half-free meals we can get in Brunei!!! Wishing everyone have a nice valentine's day...

But where? Haven't stated the place yet...

Here it is...

Hmmph!!! COFFEE-BEAN!?!?! It's coffee-bean but not the franchise shop, Coffee-Bean! Apakan~

Here's a little bit hints for you!!!

Let's see if these are familiar to you all...

Got the place in the mind already? Want more hints/ clues? Sure, why not? But before that have to pay some tips too! "Cheapskate" Haha.. Nyeh, author maybe cheapskate but not selfish. -__-"

Got the name of the place in the mind already? It's in Gadong, is located same block with the Brunei's biggest CD/DVD supplier! hahaha.

By that, everyone should know where it is already!!!

T.T Blues Cafe & Restaurant

Our Home's Treasure

[Brunei Darussalam] The place where I born and grown up! I still remembered the first time I get to play internet, the first instant messenger's program used are ICQ or mIRC instead of the famous MSN messenger nowadays. At that time, I'll get to search people far from our country and get to chat with them. When they asked me, where do I come from? I answered "BRUNEI"! At that time, lots of people doesn't know where BRUNEI is and what country is that? It's was back into the 90s at that time. Rememeber the tone of the ICQ? [Ahh Owww!] haha!

Brunei Darussalam is a small country that can be found on the Borneo Island which is next to SABAH. It has 4Districts which are the Brunei-Muara, Tutong, Temburong and Belait District. And each district is well known for its own delicacies. As the time grows, BRUNEI DARUSSALAM also grows and now is a well-known country throughout the world!

[Syabas lah, anak-anak Brunei!]

We're achieving into a higher level each years. We now have Hotel that is recognised by the world, we had upgraded our roundabout from 2-lanes to 3-lanes. Haha! Instead of shopping centres, we now have shopping mall! It may still small compares to others but everything has its beginning. The Mall, Gadong is the beginning of the growth of Shopping Mall in Brunei. We Bruneians don't have to pay to watch Micheal Jackson's concert. Haha!

We may not have skyscrapers! We may not have JUMBO shopping mall that can't be shop finish in a day! We may not have Pub, Bar, Lounger, Disco Tech but we have K-Box. Haha! Alchohol hardly found here, we may not have Casino, Disneyland, Lagoon, Burger King, Starbucks and etc.

[Brunei - Kingdom Of Unexpected Treasures]

BUT we had Oil & Gas. The prices of the petrols aren't that high compares to others. We have our own water plantation in Kg.Layong which the bills of water aren't that expesive too. Same goes to the Electric's bill. We have Kampong Ayer [Water Villages] which people came all the way to visit it. We're famous for the GREEN because we are surrounded by those natural forest instead of skyscrapers around. Country is taking good care of the people that education, health, wealth are supported. Students get paid in study instead of paying for study. Houses and Lands are given by his majesty. Everyone's living in a better standard of living compare to other countries.

What makes Brunei more special compares to others? It's the PEACEFUL that everyone can get. We don't hear robbing, stealing, killing, fighting, riot everyday on the news! We don't have to shut down our car's engine while we're buying things in Kedai Runcit. Handphones and Wallets are put on the table when people's hanging outside. The door/gate of the house is not close during the daytime. The goldsmith's shops in Brunei are not protected with aluminium/metal grills. With an dollar, we can eat a packet of rice that serves with Fried-Chicken & Sambal.

There's a lot more about Brunei and most of us see our country in a negative way that we don't have these and that instead of appreciating what we had already had and what we're going to have and started to abandon all those nice things around us in BRUNEI. Well, let's Happy-Stop show the you guys about Brunei and what we have here. At the same time, it can remind us of how lucky and happy we are living as a Bruneian. It will takes months/years to build a house or building that people starts from bits to bits. Each day a small portion of cements that eventually build up a nice house.

Same things here, we can't talk about Brunei in a day time. We'll need a lifetime to talk about Brunei because it'll keep growing and growing that create more stories as time passes. Let's discover the Kingdom of Unexpected Treasures with Happy-Stop time to time.

Let's begin from... Err???

Let UltraYong shows you one of the treasure in Brunei Darussalam that also the local's favorite pick. Hmmph~ See the lighting at the back? Where can it be?

It's a place where me and one of my friend that like to visit. The place where we can hang out till late night, a place where we share each other stories, thoughts, expressions and all those. A place where serves variety of foods and drinks. A place where famous for its Barbecue Wings, Tongkeng, Fishes, ABC, Coconut Drink and our local cuisines.

There are no other place other than the "PASAR MALAM" [Night Market]. We had 2pasar malams in Brunei that one is at Pasar Gadong and another one is at Bandar Seri Begawan, near to St.George's church. We do have JUMBO pasar malam which is known as "Perayaan" that is only available in the month of July during his Majesty's Birthday that ... ...

Platform is build for performances by the locals to entertain the people.

People can dine-in in Pasar Malam instead of buying the foods and drinks to home!

Balloons selling along the stalls.

During the normal day, the only Pasar Malam that we can dine-in is the Pasar Malam in Bandar Seri Begawan that is known as "Tamu-Selera".

Business are still ON eventhough it's raining cat & dog. Hahaha! Last time it used to be an open-area that the staffs is busy setting up the camp when it's raining. Technologies is getting better and better that handphones come with many function. Same to us too, we want to get improve instead of staying back in the past.

And Pasar Malam had got upgraded that they not only built Camp but also...

The Barbecue Corner that barbecue Wings, Tongkeng and Fishes.

The Satay Corner

Stalls that sell Fried-Mee, Mee Hon, Keow Tiaw, Fried Foods, Variety of Dishes and etc.
