Red Box Review

Red Box

Last Friday (4.5.2012), it was a sunny afternoon. On the spur of the moment, we planned to go to Red Box which is located in Sunway Pyramid. It is a great place for musical entertainment. However, it was difficult for us to find the entrance as it locates quite secretly.

The entrance is unique and different from other establishment. Once we entered, we need to descend a flight of stairs to where the karaoke room is located. The interior design is modern and stylish with attractively wall painting patterns.

There was a long queue in front of the reception counter. We have to wait patiently to book for a karaoke room. After finishing our booking, one of the waiters leaded us to a new room.

The room is spacious and furnished with long and cosy sofa. Besides that, it has equipped with advanced electronic paraphernalia such as electronic microphones, large television screen with touch screen technology and high quality audio-visual system.

The toilet was clean and hygiene. Along the corridor also set with CCTV to ensure the customer’s safety.

There is wide selection of musical videos available in Red Box. It comprises songs of various genre and languages like English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Malay, Korean and so on. Myriad of music either it is new released or retro are also attainable. We picked our favourite songs and experienced the karaoke singing sensation. It truly impressed us a lot.

It also offered variety of food and beverages. There was a promotion merely for students. The price for a student including the food is 18++. We ordered three types of dishes for the five of us in the Hi-tea set lunch which costs RM12++ per dish.

We also ordered one jar of sprite, one jar of Longan Loh Hoh Guo and two glasses of Lemon Ribena. All the drinks ordered were very refreshing but only the Longan Loh Hoh Guo was a little too sweet for us.

This is the Pasta with Cream of Chicken Cheese Baked. The pasta was tasted creamy and delicious as it really blended into the cheeses and special sauce. The pasta was cooked just good as the texture of the pasta was soft.

This is the Chicken Murtabak Wedges. It was best to taste the wedges with chilli sauce. Its crispy crust pairing with the little spicy chicken murtabak was extremely scrumptious. There is the Chicken Nuggets with Sesame Honey. The golden yellow colour of the nuggets looked appetising and palatable. The nuggets were tasted tender inside while the outer layer was crusty. The mayonnaise sauce was served as the best condiment for the chicken nuggets.

 The services of the waiters were efficient. They served our ordered food and drinks promptly and politely. We genuinely immersed in singing the songs as well as eating. The bill inclusive the service charge and government tax came to RM104.55.It was reasonable and affordable.

   Last Wednesday (2/5/2012) our class ended earlier  at 10.30am then we celebrated the Teacher’s Day together in Multiple Purpose Hall. The Teacher’s Day celebration was so awesome and touching. With the suggestion of friends, we went to the Porridge Time which located in the Asian Avenue. Porridge Time is an eatery that serves Chinese cuisine and we were eager to try out the food there.

         

  Porridge Time is a small stall and only serves plenty of seats. Fortunately, we found a table seat as there was very crowded. The waiters give us the menu simultaneously when we sat down. The menu was quite good and useful because it consists of every picture of the porridge, price, side orders and drinks as well.

We ordered soya milk and herbal tea to drink. We had choose shredded chicken porridge with salted egg, shredded chicken porridge with preserved egg because I have ate it before and it tasted yummy. Besides the price was cheap too which is RM 7.00 each. We then decided to order innards porridge although we never ate it before.

              In fact, the Porridge Time do not decorated as well as the Pasta Zanmai Restaurant and smaller but the surrounding of the Porridge Time was very clean and tiny which had impressed me. All the waiters were wearing uniform and their hairs were tied up. We also notice that majority of the customers were workers. It might because of the foods tasty, big in size and the price was cheap.

After a short while, our drinks and foods were served by the waiters. We had surprised by the speedy service since there were lot of customers.

                  

  The soya milk tasted sweet, smooth and fulfilled with the smell of fresh soya beans. And the colour of it was dim cream-coloured. The herbal tea was a bit bitter and has a sweet aftertaste. Although it tasted bitter, it is good for our health. Both of the drinks have the same price which is RM 2.90.

               

 

 

 Before we started ate the porridge, the scent of it has already wafting though the air make us mouthwatering. The shredded chicken porridge with salted egg (left) was “lip-smacking”. The porridge was warm, smooth and velvet taste. Other than that was the salted egg folk, it was orange-red coloured, tasted not over salty which was very savory.  After that we ate the shredded chicken porridge with preserved egg. The preserved egg which was black in colour do look weird and scare but it was so chewy and it taste awesome. Lastly, we had tried the innards porridge (right). The innards part was fried and it had matched perfectly with the white porridge. Therefore, I thought it was pleasant to eat.

                   

We ordered you tiao as our side dish. Although it is a fried food, it does not taste greasy. It was crispy and the pairing with the porridge was amazing. 

 After finishing our foods, we ordered two more syrup as the dessert. The syrup black in colour was Ching Bo Leong (left) . It consists of several herbal such as white fungus and minces. It was so palatable and tasted honey. Another syrup we had ordered was sweet potato syrup (right). The sweet potato was extremely soft and floury. It might looks odourless and tasteless but it actually very tempting, appealing and luscious. Each of the syrup cost RM 3.90.

                 

  We had finished all the foods and we really enjoy while eating it. The service of the waitress was efficient and they were friendly. The ambience was quite noisy because of many patrons here. However, it would not affect our mood. We all were enjoyed the lunch greatly. Therefore, we had planned to have another lunch in there soon.
