Coffee ohhh kopak

Belmont, Western Australia

Perth is not as happening as Malaysia. By 6 pm you can see the sign of death city. All the malls are closed by then. Except on Thursday it closes at 9 pm and you can see a kind of festive all around. The road busy with cars and people hang around in the mall for shopping or window shopping. Surely there is another world at night especially over the weekends. There is lots of pub to cater the social needs of the youngsters in particular. I don't go to this kind of place so most of the time I will stay at home or just go to the restaurant for dinner. Yesterday evening, my friends and I went to Belmont Shopping centre. It is not far from our house, about 15 minutes drive. My friends had their listed things to buy and as for me I just want to go for window shopping ( I didn't bumped into Opah De..if not mistaken she lived near by...is it true Opah..ahakas). But I end up bought some food at Coles. While waiting for them shopping, I felt so thirsty so I decided to buy Iced Coffee. There is cafe near buy. Actually it was the first time I bought iced coffee and I thought it will be white coffee with ice. Believe it or not, she first scooped ice cream then pour the iced coffee...I lost my word..and I just took the coffee which cost me AUD$4 ....my friend told me you better through it away...yea I know but it such a waste...kind of throwing AUD$4 bills into the dustbin. But the issue is that we don't know if the ice cream is halal or not. There is very limited halal ice cream product here in Australia. Only certain product of Cadbury and Peters claimed to be halal. So without further due I just threw it into the dustbin....sayonara..ahaks.. I went to Coles and bought the packed ice coffee. I checked the ingredient and it is definitely halal. Just be careful, even pork food product has the halal label on it…errkkk!

Kalau makanan ada bab* itupun ada tanda halal, memang kena berhati-hati sangatlah...

Kawan saya ada cerita, dia dan kawan dia makan di restoran di Australia kalau tak silap. Ada satu restoran jual sup bab*, kawan kepada kawan saya ini jahil 'gaban' orangnya, dia kata, "tak apa, aku makan kuahnya saja, isinya aku letak tepi". Isk! Kalau kawan saya itu tipu, saya pun tipulah cerita ini.

Ha ha ha!

di Melbourne pun lebih kurang sama ajer. rasanya, hanya pub atau supermarket jer yang buka time malam2 di australia.

bila berada di luar negara ni, kena berhati-hati bab makanan dan minuman ini. kena tahu segala isi kandungan makanan terutamanya emulsifier.

iEn said...

AUD$4 <--- 4 ringgit ka?? hehehe

Zetty said...

kalau kat negara omputih tuh mmg kompem senang sgt nak check mana halal mana tak .. kat negara arab nieh mmg laa kebanyakannya insyaallah halal .. tapinya kekadang ada gak kedai2 makan yg tak halal .. tgk2 ramai gak org arab islam dlm tuh .. dorang bukannya nak tanya pun halal ke tak .. main redah aje .. huhuhu ...

I think countries with 4 seasons are pretty the same when comes to the shopping times...it's depends on the weather, especially on winter when by 5pm most activity-highstreets' shops/malls are closed, unlike those in the central metropolitan city and aside from pub and bar...there's always pro n cons...

Imagine about that halal pork? Was that from Msia or Singapore?

Being born and bred in a non-muslim country,I don't find it's difficult to find halal foods here...you just have to be extra careful & vigilant !!

Perth...best tempat tu untuk tenang-tenang,tak busy cam KL and one more thing org Ausie ni particular ngan kebersihan....

posmen said...

cayalah bro.. ape la sgt AUD$4 dibanding dgn hukum halal haram.. kan?

KAMATO said...

Memang cubaan menjaga makanan di negeri orang, teruskan

zino said...

kat KL pun patut buat macam tu.. kol 6 je kedai semua dah tutup.. semua org balik duduk kat rumah.. kan aman sikit.. hehe

Mazza Homemade Cookies said...

AUS$4 is nothing compared dengan non-halal ingredient yang akan manjadi darah daging kita

keputusan yang baik arsaili..

JEFFROCKERS said...

itulah cabaran duduk di rantau orang. kalau di malaysia, buruk camna pun kurang-kurangnya makan tido kita terjaga.

saya hargai sangat sanggaaaattt cerita ini, bro.

Jamal Abd Rahman said...

actually we get really particular abt halal haram in fooods when we are abroad...kat sini main belasah jer, kalau nak ikutkan kat mesia ni pun byk yg tak halal but we just take it for granted semua makanan halal...hmmm

coklat esp mmg byk yg tak halal..kat obersi semua baca dulu ingredients mknan tu..kat sini beli terus mkn jer...pelik jugak kan? tak kisah pun ada ingredients yg tak halal dlm tu...

ok what kalau kedai tutup awal semua. At least takder orang melepak sampai pagi. Lagi satu, ada banyak masa untuk family bagi orang yang kerja kat kedai kedai tu.

err..7E pun tutup awal jugak ker? haha. -mazudi.com-

Salam Arsaili...
True. Even the coffee tu pun OD waswas. Anyway, I live in Noranda, near Morley Galleria. Kalau gi ke sana on Thursday night, you might bump into me.

Kalau tak biasa gi Galleria, ambik Orrong Road, masuk Freeway, pastu pass the second bridge (yang ada signboard sebelum tunnel), exit kat East Parade, stay on the right lane (not far right, yang tengah), bagi signal, stay on the left, pass 1st, 2nd traffic light (sorry tak ingat nama jalan), still on the left lane, until sampai bridge nak cross railway track tu, masuk lane paling kiri, cross the bridge, stay on the left, go on sampai jumpa Grand Prom, turn left, keep going until sampai Walter Road (tengok fruit and vegie market on your left), turn right, keep going... ngeh, keep going, bila sampai Coode St, change to right lane, stay there until sampai Russell Street, turn right into Russell Street, then, first traffic light, turn left, walla... dah sampai galleria. Gi sana calling calling ler OD. Nombor ada, kan?
