BYOB (Bring your own bottle) Experience

Recently I came across these plastic free shop concept. Being environmentally friendly is one of the initiative that I am looking into.

So after much planning and consideration (the nearest plastic free shop is at Petaling Jaya, which is about 30 min drive from our home), so we decided to go to the BYOB at Petaling Jaya. (Website: https://www.byob.com.my/ )

Yesterday night I was so excited and I was clearing and washing those bottles that I have at home before I slept.

This morning, we went to the shop. It was a very small shop lot, and we can't get parking. So my husband drive around the area while we go to the shop to refill the bottles.

The shop is managed by a shopkeeper. I hand over the bottle to him, and he fills it up with the liquids I want. But the way the shopkeeper speak to us, as if I did something wrong that makes him so angry with me. I would happily gives him the "Worst Customer Service of the Year" award!

To my disappointment, they have the policy of not filling up bottle less than 1 litre. I swear that I have done my due diligence to read all the info about them online, but I was not warned about this. The cranky shopkeeper asked me to read the T&C stick on the wall.

Fine...I have brought 2 big bottles and some small bottles around 500ml to 800ml... I got my big detergent bottle and floor cleaner bottle filled and I bring back home the rest. Luckily I still brought two big bottle. Otherwise I will be going back home empty handed after the long drive and paid toll to reach that place...

I paid RM 20.18 for my laundry liquid (4.8 litre) and RM 13.64 for 3.1 litre of floor cleaner liquid.

Verdict:

Price: 4/5

Slightly cheaper than buying big brands conventionally.

Location: 2/5

Can be found on Waze. Difficult to find parking.

Service: 0/5

Please give that guy some education on how to speak to a person without offending people.

I really don't understand about why can't use bottle less than 1 litre. Since I am already here, selling another 0.5 litre woldn't hurt you right?

Overall: 1.2/5

Good cause but poor customer service. Not friendly at all. I am already putting effort in bringing my own bottles, and I still have to deal with your crankiness? If they really want customer to follow their rules, they can post it on their website or facebook. No information about their T&C online. Until I read comments from other customers from their facebook page.

Good for you if you want to go. But I will not be coming back to this shop anymore.

Below are their menu for your reference:

Chili's @ Sunway Putra Mall

Hi! Today I would like to share about my experience at Chili's at Sunway Putra Mall. We are actually attracted by the "Kids Eat Free" Ballon. Every kid gets a free meal with a paying adult. It includes a meal and free flow of drinks. The kids menu is actually an activity sheet for kids. Comes with one piece of crayon. All drinks in kids meal are bottomless. Games Colouring activities We have ordered fish and chips for our daughter. We have ordered Triple Dipper (RM 36.95) - Texas cheese poppers, signature drumetts (boneless) with buffalo sauce, and southwestern eggrolls. The signature drumetts with buffalo sauce really stands out with it's tangy and spicy flavour. We also ordered Fatija Trio (Lamb, Beef and Prawn). It came with some dipping (guacamole, cream, cheese, and some veggies) and served with wraps. Their wraps are bottomless too! (RM 59.95) Their proteins are cooked just right. Easy to bite and v

Why I Choose to Give Cheap Milk Powder

Milk is the only thing baby can drink for the first 6 months of life. For a balanced nutrition, parents will usually provide milk to their child until at least 6 years old as a supplement to solid food. If you are able to provide breast milk to your baby, Congratulations! You are a lucky mom! Not only you save tons of money, you also get to have the unique bonding experience with your baby. For myself, I am not able to provide breast milk, thus my baby is depend on milk powder. At first we provided her with a premium brand, Morinaga. But her weight gain was not ideal. Our pediatrician advise us to change to other brands. Thus we started our search for the best milk for her. We tried almost all branded milk samples in the market provided by our pediatrician's clinic (all brands are priced at more than RM 70 per kg at the time of writing). The most expensive one is Pediasure, around RM 80 for 850g pack, and she is not drinking as much as the recommended volume.

Universal Noodle @ Citta Mall

Hi. Today I would like to share with you our experience at Universal Noodle, Citta Mall. Image from: https://www.citta.com.my/listings/universal-noodle/ At first I thought they are selling Japanese Ramen. But it is actually KL's style pork noodle. Dry pork noodle with extra egg. (RM 12.90). Their portion of mince meat and slice meat were quite generous. Boiled rice with fish fillet and mince pork. (RM 16.90) I think they are using grouper fillet for this dish. Quite big portion. We also ordered the french fries and luncheon meat (RM 8.00). This is a new item in their menu. Something different. In total we have spent RM 39 for this meal, inclusive of 5% service charge and 6% SST. Verdict: Taste: 4/5 Freshly made with premium ingredients. Price: 4/5 Considered fair with the big portion. Ambiance: 3/5 OK. Service: 4/5 Good service Overall: 3.75/5 Considered good. Can be revisit. Thank you for reading. Ple
