The Social Project

So starting today I'm starting Part1 of a little self-improvement program I'm setting for myself.

At this stage my plan is to slowly get to know and be a "regular" at the restaurants at Sunway Geo Avenue which is the business centre connected to my apartment.

So my plan is simple, visit the same restaurant everyday and socialize lots with the staff there.

This should take about a full week (gonna need to read up Abit more about that)

Anyways that all for now cheers🙌🙌

A filling authentic experience @ Bottega KL

O'canello review

👅Flavour ⭐⭐⭐⭐

😌Fillingness ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

💲Value ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📍Location: Bottega KL, 1A, Jalan Ceylon

The O'canello is a surprisingly filling dish. I shared it with my girlfriend and it was definitely enough to fill up both of our tummies.

What is the O'canello made of?

Well it is a pasta dish with huge amounts of cheese. There is also a good amount of vegetables

One of the best omelettes I've had in my life

KakUngu review 2:

This is the otak-otak omelette rice set meal from kak ungu

🍬Sweetness -n/a

🧂Saltiness -just right

🌶️Spiciness -none

😌Fillingness-makes you full

⭐Overall -7/10

For rm14.90, there are other dishes here that provide more nutrients than this dish. But if a good omelette is what you're looking for, then this dish is a MUST TRY

The omelette is super fluffy, airy, and crispy. Besides that, there is also the unique dlavour and taste of "otak-otak" which is a local fish paste dish in the omelette hence the dish name "otak-otak omelette"

Cost of living in Sunway (as a "foreign" student)

"Sunway" in this post refers to the education-hub area of Sunway city ( where Monash Nas Sunway uni are located )

Expenses of living in a dorm

If you're a student from overseas or from another state there is a high chance you will stay at the University Dorms (which do not allow cooking).This means you have to eat out everyday.

A decent meal for lunch & dinner will cost

Lunch(±RM15) + Dinner(±RM15) = RM30

Kak Ungu Food Review #1 - Satay Beef rice set

Flavour: 7/10 | Fillingness :8.5/10

This is one of Kak Ungu's Signature dishes and for good reason, the beef is tender and has a very well balanced taste profile.

For rm16 it's one of the most filling meals you can get around Sunway. (Cries in Sunway prices😭)
