Like all Malaysians, you can talk about food all day and night!😊 It’s funny, I never look at these set lunches, which I should, as it often has good value for a smaller price, like you explained. That Skillet is indeed pricy, haven’t been there. We have upcoming birthdays here, so who knows, that would be the right occasion. 😊 Have a good weekend and thanks again for the saturday morning update video😉

    Thanks for the Lunch tips and examples Andy! Big contrast to today here in Portland when I offered to buy a friend lunch from a food truck. My friend had cup-sized side of Mac N' Cheese for 14.99, 8oz of BBQ beef ribs (mostly bone) for $22.99 and a cup of Ice tea for $3.99. I had a small side of fries $6.99 and small bottle of water for $3.50. Total was over $50, that's U.S. dollars not Ringgit. That was the first time I've paid to eat out in nearly a year, and likely will be the last for at least another year as my cost of living is now going up at least $200/month despite eating much less, less not driving unless absolutely necessary. For entertainment your videos are about it. Salad and lunch bars at grocery and health food stores are almost a thing of the past as they are bought out by large, globalist monopolies and eliminated as people stopped buying them when prices topped $15/lb. There is one at a local health food store but it's $18.99/lb and about 1.5 to 2lb is what most people might end up if they get a cup of soup and everything is heavily watered-down. So Andy! any good hunches or info on immigration or retirement visa changes? I'm ready to leave this side of the rainbow and go back to Malaysia.

And with a moldy, drug-infested studio apartment in the most depressed city in America $2,000, per month and $300/month to heat it, $3,000 a month is just about poverty level here, and few who are retired can survive here much less be secure or comfortable. I used to live a few blocks from here and can get a place for about $550/month, I just can't get the visa to stay in Malaysia or I'd be outta here: Horizon Tower Condominium in Tanjung Bungah Park. kzread.info/dash/bejne/op-Nq9uCZqqye5c.html

Since I do not have the $23, 000 asking price for this program, and am too old to make visa runs every ninety days, I will probably make India my new home, as Delhi offers one to five year visas for a nominal fee.

No matter how polite and friendly I come across, I still get a sour response from the waiter each time. The drinks in Malaysian restaurants are always way overpriced in relation to the food, so I always feel like I'm being ripped off. I also don't like the way the waiters always say "drinks?" when taking my order as if they're hoping I'll buy more than just one drink!

    Those are kopitiam, local cafe. Kopitiam usually drinks seller own the kopitiam and the stalls are making money on their own, kopitiam seller just selling the drinks to make money of course he asks customers to order drinks if not he won't making any money. In restaurants whole restaurant owned by owner so he doesn't care if you wanna order drinks or not as you order food he already making money. So restaurant and kopitiam are two different ways of serving.
