Of Chicken And Books

I ate chicken again the other evening.

Chicken chops marinated with Nando's Peri Peri Lemon & Herb Sauce.

The boneless chicken legs turned out delicious, with crispy skin, juicy and tender.

The next day after lunch (beef trimmings from home, no photo because it is ugly) I went for my usual walk at the mall.

I passed by Baskin Robbins and they are currently having a promotion for macaron and pancakes with ice cream. The poster is very colorful and eye catching.

The bazaar is going strong. Weekends there will be more visitors.

I passed by HWC Coffee. The coffee is very good but pricey so I get my iced black from the small coffee shops outside the mall.

I also passed by Thai Tai and these are their lunch promotions.

Quite attractive I must say.

Next door is Mitsuyado Seiman which is still surviving after all these years.

They also have their lunch promos.

All that would have to wait for carb day.

Then I stepped into Popular Bookstore. Just to browse in case there is anything interesting or good discounts. I have caught the reading bugs again and it is a good thing.

This cat themed comic book is cute.

At RM39.90, I am not keen to buy unless if there is a good discount. 

Anyone familiar with Grimm's Fairy Tales? That's a book from my childhood. Shall I buy this for the sake of nostalgia?

Oh! Very affordable.

1984 and Animal Farm are classics which my late grandfather made me read when I was in secondary school.

1984 is a futuristic story which by very much a reality now in our tech driven world but in 1948 (when the book was written) it was science fiction.

Animal Farm on the other hand is a political satire.

This one at RM79.90 is pricey and if there is a discount in future, maybe I'll get it.

This one I won't buy hah..hah... Takut!

This book I purchased many years ago from MPH. Yes, nostalgic. I used to read Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales when I was a kid.

But as an adult, I realized that some of the stories are not suitable for children. Example - The Red Shoe about a little girl who wore a pair of red shoes to her late mother's funeral. 

When she left the church, the shoes took a life of their own and made her dance non-stop. In desperation, she had her feet cut off by a woodcutter. How nightmarish! Not something a young child should be reading. 

Anyway, this book has a discount of 20%. Shall I?
