Beli petrol di Shell, Pekan Bau

Aku kah yang bengong or Shell yang bengong.

Alkisahnya begini, hari Rabu, cuti Wesak, yang lepas saya bawa ayah pergi beli Diesel di Shell, Bau.  Isi dalam bekas (gelen) kecil jer. I beli guna CC di mesin kat luar tu.  Total RM9.05 je pun, tapi masa dah tekan nak receipt, tunggu-tunggu takda jugak receipt keluar.  Oklah, malas nak tunggu, orang ramai, hari hujan pulak tu, 9 hinggit je pun.

Sampai rumah I dapat notification dalam phone saying that I kena charge RM200 kat Shell station.  Mana tak bengang, beli RM9, kena charge RM200.

Dengan malas nya, start la engin kereta and pergi la balik ke Shell station tu, cashier jawap 'machine kat luar tu memang macam tu, itu charge dari bank, bukan dari kami, nanti 2-3 hari bank akan refund.  Semua shell pun macam tu.'

Eh apa pulak semua Shell macam tu, saya tiap minggu beli Petrol dari Shell in Kuching, tak pernah pun kena charge RM200.

Cashier: Shell station di Bau yang sana tu pun macam tu juga.

Me: Shell yang tu pun sama company korang kan?

Aihss naik angin jugak aku dibuatnya, petang ni dah nak balik Kuching, kalau tak lapor nanti bank cakap kena tak lapor awal.

Oklah, kita redho, tunggu 2-3 hari. Sabar, tak baik gaduh.

The next day, eh betul la, check balik CC amount, RM9.05

Aku ke yang bengong or Shell or Bank?

Aku tetap rasa kan.. kalau betul mmg biasa macam ni di Pekan Bau, buat la notice siap2, RM200 banyak bah, iboh gia, buang masa aku jak.

Best Japanese Restaurant in Kuching

This is all based on my personal preference.

Best Japanese Restaurant in Kuching:

1. Soru Izakaya, Saradise.

2. Ginza Japanese Restaurant 銀座和食レストラン, Saradise.

3. Sushi Zanmai, Vivacity 

4. Zu Sakuraitei. Known for its fresh sashimi. But I had a not really good experience with their tempura, it's too oily.

5. 山河 Sanga Japanese Restaurant-Kuching

Tokyo Bento - RM18

6. Oishi Japanese Restaurant 

Best Japanese Ramen in Kuching:

1. Cookai, Saradise. Non halal.
It is better to make a booking beforehand, they serve limited bowls per day.

2. Rising Ramen, CityOne Megamall. Non halal.
If you want a fast and easy ramen, this is the place to be, so far they always have this menu available. No booking is required.

3. Ajisen Ramen, Vivacity Megamall, Kuching. Non halal.
It can be a bit too salty sometimes.

4. Senchiru Izakaya, Saradise, Kuching.

    Non-halal .  Urayaki Buta Noodle.

5. Himawari Ramen Bar. Halal. Always a long queue, open from 8:30-3pm.
This small restaurant is famous among Muslim customers. Since the restaurant is small, you can always see the long queue outside. be prepared to wait for more than an hour.  Not the best in my opinion, more like a beef noodle for me, they make really good tick broth. But hey, don't take my word for it, go and try it out, and do let me know ya.

Best Teppanyaki place in Kuching:

1. 渣· 烧鸟屋Teppanyaki & BBQ Bar | Kuching

Non-halal
