Sam's Groceries - Nu Sentral, Brickfields

Yes mike, i know...

I did mention in my previous post that i will entice you with curried chicken and bun.

Trust me, that post is coming up shortly and i thought of making a small detour of my compulsive optimistic behavior of mine to promote to y'll this gocerria which was recently opened in Nu Sentral, KL Brickfields.  This shall be a baby post for today.

I am very proud to gloat and boast for being the first food marking pioneer that sibuk-ed when Nu Sentral  mall had its first soft launch. Being the foodie i am,  the very first week of its soft launching, i visited the following outlets; The Loaf, Jeneris By Ahren, Espresso Lab and Big Apple. (Also constantly checked if there is any new joint that opened). I'm not writing about any of this place because it doesn't fall into my eat for RM 50.00-Feeds 3 happily.

Work and studies eventually caught up with me and i had reduced my visit there. Last week, while i was heading back from my work place to KL Sentral to attend lectures, an advertisement in the LRT arrested my attention. Official opening of "Sam's Groceria"......i had to check it out! Which i did today and honestly after a stroll, i  seriously and evidently feel its a decent supermarket that caters for the niche and expatriate market.

Its massive supermarket, i tell you that though.

I proceeded to check out the deli corner, nothing so impressive. D E L I.. apa ini mike? where is the Malaysian infused influence in it la? All i saw was just a wide spread of japanese cuisine and sad looking sandwiches, which was quite pricey for a small portion and after walking around, i rested my dinner plans on grocerria's daily deli joint.

And......i chose this,

A serving of Chicken Lasagna for my dad (RM 9.99) and a serving a of Lamb Lasagna (RM 9.99). Costing up too, RM 20.00 #.  A 20% less pricier then the Deli.

Taste wise it was quite bland, i think it required loads of seasoning. It was cheap on the meat side, old canned tomato sauce after taste and i would probably buy it next time if i really had no other dinner avenues after lectures. 4/10.

Anyway, i suppose taste buds differs to tongue, one man's meat is another man's poison. Donr take my word for it, if you guys have tried food in the Deli or the Grocerria itself, please do share it with me. I would love to hear from you.

Up with the next post....

Thank You

You know, three years ago i blogged. Sometimes i wonder with my eccentric personality, how on Earth i blogged about"Law"...well i did and i hated it. I still remember, there was this dude (lawyer i think) strongly advised me, "NEVER TO PRACTICE IN MALAYSIA" and there you demotivated and i stopped blogging.

I suppose, over the time you grow up and take life experiences with a pinch of salt and maybe with a baby shooter of Mexican tequila. Life na? and here i am, blogging to the view of world at large of my ultimate ecstasy, Food.

Just few days ago i was thinking, is my blog being read by anyone? Anyone? I was even thinking abut bringing down my blog post and probably sulk to my best friends how empty my life is and an old  high school mate of mine posted on my facebook wall page encouraging me to continue writing and wishing me all the best. That did make my day and that was indeed a motivation for me. Thank you, Logeni Rajaratnam.

Of course, all great people out there that has read my blog spot thus far. I thank you from the bottom most chamber of my heart. Thank you....

Food blogging culture in Malaysia dominantly focuses on "posh" eateries that's mushrooming in Kuala Lumpur and all over Peninsular Malaysia. In my humblest opinion, our food culture does not comprise of "posh eateries", that is certainly not what i remember?

Just a thought to share, when i was a child, (an adorable one too), my morning breakfast during weekends will usually be a mamak stall, Warong Atan. It will usually be roti canai, nasi lemak sambal ayam or roti telor bawang and teh tarik pekat. "Cekap" i must say.

That is something irreplaceable even im served Egg Benedict with THE MOST EXPENSIVE Truffle shaving n it and served by Jason Segel, na ah, thank you very much,ill have my "local kena fix" anytime. 

I personally feel there are not much writers around that has sticked around to write about our, Malaysia cheap and affordable delights available in right under your nose. This is what i have observed thus far reading numerous Malaysian foodies blog spot for quite sometime now. (This statement is put forward with a humbly apology if at it sounds rude and uncouth-full.)

Anyway, thank you again.

I shall hunt down the best and cheap local fares that Malaysia that has to offer to everyone. If RM 50.00 feed at least three stomach's heartily, you know your in for the best! 

Oh, guys, if you guys happen to know, good place, cheap and affordable yet yummylicious, do drop me a comment on it venue. I shall explore...

Next blog will be on Roti + Curry Chicken + Kampar....

Ciou for now!!
