Today we picked up Adam from his colleague. He needed to find a dress for his prom committee duties. Why was he even on the prom committee in the first place? To gain leadership experience and extra curricular points for his resume. I thought we were just gonna rent some cheap blazer in Kajang or somewhere. Instead he brought us to Majestic Bespoke Tailor in PJ to rent a complete evening suit. Total damage - 400 ringgit. Thankfully, he paid for most of it with his own money. He does get some allowance from the scholarship every few months. The rest were money donated to him from various sources.
After that we went to 1 Utama nearby. I wanted to visit the newly refurbished Muji store there. If it's your first visit like me, it's on the ground and first floor of the old 1 Utama wing near the One World Hotel and Uniqlo outlet. There store was busy but not crazy crowded like IKEA on a sale crowded. They had the Labo section which were supposed to be special and then the Muji Green section where they sell (overpriced) plants (naturally) and finally the new Muji Café which was really crowded with constant queue and never enough table.
I wanted to taste the surprisingly affordable coffee at 9.90 and perhaps some of the overpriced cakes (RM15.00 each) but since we couldn't find anywhere to sit, I decided against it. Maybe next time when the hype dies down a bit or when they open a few more outlets with cafés as well. It was largely a disappointing visit. Instead of Muji, we had some snacks at Salon Du Chocolat nearby. I thought the name was a bit pompous and the prices were a red flag and I was proven correct. A plate of some lousy chocolate crepe cost 18 ringgit. It was very thin and unfulfilling.
Before heading home, we had an early dinner of nasi lemak at Warung Rindu near Pantai Dalam. This one rarely disappoints and the price won't burn a hole in your pocket.
