Berbuka puasa pada ketinggian 95m above sea-level katanya... hiks!


Yesterday, 5thE serta temannya, si Prof itiew, and me - kami berbuka puasa sekali. Well, since diaorang punye flight ex AOR back to KUL (they were both in AOR atas urusan kerej for like, what, 3, 4 day?) was scheduled at 2135hrs, mek macam, "Owh why not berbuke puasa sekali dengan diaorang, at least lepas tu, I could just send them off straight to the airport. And besides, biar lah last evening depa, mek spend some time berbuka puasa also with them..." mek told myself.

So lepas mek picked them up dari hotel at around 1800hrs, we went P²BM (Pusing-pusing Buang Masa/ Minyak) dalam kerets ke sana ke sini - satu Bandaraya Aloq Staq mek bawak depa pusing² sampai berputaq kepala depa. Hiks! Since it was still early nak proceedo ke tmpt berbuka puasa tu kan kaedahnya (reservarsi dah dibuat, ThankS GodS *persis Kak CT kite... opps!). Tapi it didn't take us a long time to decide, "Ahhh mrasalah kite gi awal - at least boleh enjoy the view, kan?" What view? Ahhh yes - kami berbuke puasa di MENARA TELEKOM, Alor Star - the highest, tallest tower in Northern Region katanya...



Standing at 95m (or was it 98m? Hmmmm...), the Menara Telekom Alor Star was certainly a splendid way to end a day. I mean, the view menuju ke senja, aiyoh! Goodness, cantik sangat! And yes, t'was my 1st ever visit there (bak kata Prof, "Buat malu jer dok Aloq Staq tapi tak penah nak naik menara ni... " Kan prof? SEDEHHH!) So anyways, lepas dah naik sampai ke level 95m/ 98m, menaikki lift yang ala² bols² tgk keluar tu (apa tah nama orang panggei lift jenih tu. Ish), the three of us were like... "Owh woowww..." to almost everything and anything kat atas tu - INCLUDING the staffs seorang dua itiew. Hiks! Yeap - kami telah berada di Restaurant Seri Angkasa katanya... one level above the observation deck of the tower, which is at 88m above the sea level. Dan the restaurant is just below another level/ floor of administration floor (I wonder berape 'm' la pulak level tu dari sea-level, KAN? Hhehehe)

And yes, the three of us were the first customers yang arrived. Mrasalah kami buat level tu bagaikan rumah kami sendirs. Snappy² here and there, meramas mesra with the staffs, enjoying the view from the top katenye (to my surprise, boleh nampak tau Kuala Kedah/ laut dari up there... coolness!) Dok kat ataih tu mek feeling² persis kembaliks ke Eiffle Tower katanya... ahaks!



And to my yet another surprise, the restaurant was a revolving restaurant ok! Right, that's it! MEMANG BETUL katanya Prof. Buat malu jer mek dok AS selama nih dinch hui katanya yang restaurant tu mampu berpusing nih, pada kadar yang amatlah slow, sangat² slow sundel - you can hardly feel/ notice it is moving, tapi kalau tgk kat floor, can see that it's actually moving. Dan before you know it, you'll be like... "Eh, tadik bukan toilet kat sini ke? Mana hilang?" Pusing kiri pusing kanan... "Laaaa... toilet dah ade kat sana nuhhh. Bila masa kite pindah meja?" LOL!

We arrived at around 1840hrs kot... and tak dernye lama lepas tu, mula la mrasak pack tempat itiew. Dah mula mrasak, mrasa la kami pon mola la amik our food (selepas dah penat snappy² pix katanya - mek prefer amik snappy² pix sebelum ramai orang, kang bile ramai org, segan la, malu la, ape la, kan? Hehehe). And lepas dah habis amik gambar, amik food, amik tempat duduk kembalik, mrasalah amik pix one of the waiter beserta amik nombor fon nya katanya - THANKS to that Mak Ayam Prof lah! Haiyoh! Mek seperti nak tulis surat kat tempat kerej nye dan mintak prof ditransferkan kerej di AS je. Heheheh! Sangat² efficient lah itiew Prof dalam proses² sebegitiew rupa (like, it'll take me for ages to get a number dan snappy² pix cik tan secara terang²an. Hmmm - I wonder how Sherits buat cam tu ek? Amik gambar cik tans direct katanya... tak berani mek!)



Dan soon, masuk lah waktu berbuke puasa bagi kawasan Alor Star dan kawasan² yang sama waktu dengannya... Amin. Well², the food was actually... "Not badddd aiihh!" Mrasalah melantak bagaikan dinch makan sepoloh hari katanya (there goes my diet, welcome back flat tyres... LOL!) Although, the kuah rojak je rasa masin siket, but the rest, vavavoom! Mrasalah kenyang juger yer melantak kat situ. Berbaloi la RM35 hengget itiew... (thanks Prof sebab belanjs!) - ceh! Mana itiew BadarSila si BS itiew! ADO RM13.90!? Utk bebudak sajo pon dah RM17... feeeeeeeeeling kau kan RM13.90!? HAHAHA nangis RM35 hengget ok! Hahaha...



Tapi kalau nak kasik review, rating about the Seri Angkasa (tetiber je mek feel nama restaurant nih feeling persis nama Anugerah Seri Angkasa itiew - HOW!?) Revolving Restaurant's Ramadhan Buffet, ini lah dia rating serta komen mek yang mek buat in point form, boleh kan? (Yer lah, kalau JURY D utk Bloggers Idol boleh buat cam itiew, mrasalah mek also can, kan? Hehehe mati la mek kena laser dengan P.A si Jury D, si Miss Ginger itiew - OPPSS!)

Penilaian yang ado: POOR, BELOW AVERAGE, AVERAGE, GOOD, EXCELLENT

Upon arrival at Menara Telekom, Alor Star
  • Parking facilities: Since dah petang, it wasn't difficult and carik parking space. Lagikpun, we were there early, so, sempat la pilih a good parking spot, kan? Tapi kalau mai waktu² sebok, waktu² jammanations, mrasalah migrain nak carik parking sebab it's very limited... berape lots just ade parking tu tau... sedeh... - AVERAGE
  • Receptionists: Very friendly, melayan dengan baik (walaupun temanya yang amik reservarsi mek tu sudah tulis nama mek dengan salah kaedahnye) tapi since diaorang greeted us with such great warmth and hospitality, mrasalah mek abaikan jer the spelling error kat my name tu... hehehe. - EXCELLENT
  • The lift: Ok la, so so. Tapi sangat berbau sedikit sebab waktu lift yang kami nak naik ke restaurant tu turun, it the membawa turun berdoyon² student² primary school OC (Tanya 5thE, dia tau OC tu apa dah sekarang nih) dari observation deck katanya. Mrasalah lift tu bau busk busk kepam! Tu baru OC, buatnya student² bebudak OI atau pong even, bau bebudak kepam bebudak LONTONG, HOW!? Mek pengsan - BELOW AVERAGE
  • Staffs:Owh yes, staff sangat bagus u ols. Escorted us dari ground floor itiew, naik lift sekali ngan kami bertiga, with that security guard. Dan mrasalah mek menanyakan ape ade kat belakang Istana Kuning tu, tetiber jer she menjawab dan memberi penjelasan. Bagus sangat... - EXCELLENT


At Seri Angkasa Revolving Restaurant
  • Staffs: Sangat² mewelcomingkan kami dengan penuh ramas mesra (yer, waktu tu la mek dah prasan itiew waiter itiew. HIKS!) Very attentive dan informative (mrasalah mek suka test depa by asking "Berape ek ketinggian tempat nih...) Mrasalah depa tau there and then, bagus nih! Pastu as we were walking around, snappy² pix dan tgk²kan the juadah, meals and what not, ade chefs dan staffs yang ready to beri ulasan serta penerangan nih about the food served kat sitiew. Bagus kan? - EXCELLENT
  • Restaurant layout: Ok lah - so so. I don't fancy much about the side buffet layout area, but overall ok jer la la la la - AVERAGE
  • Restaurant lightings: Owh yes, ini mek dah highlighted to the staffs. Lampu dia, feeling tooo dimmed katanya sampai nak nengok lauk pon payah. On normal days, occasions, tak per lah nak romantika lightings ke ape ke, kan? Ini utk berbuka posa, got families, kids and what not, mrasalah terangkan siket lampu tu. So eeeww! - BELOW AVERAGE
  • Background music: Bagus sangat - for a change, even LEPAS berbuka pun, bacaan Ayat Suci Al-Quran tetap berkumandang. Selalunya, kita dgr bacaan Ayat Suci tu sebelum berbuka, kan? Lepas berbuka, nah!!! Lagu Kak Pah la, Siti la, itu ini, kan? EVEN ade some places, sebelum berbuka pon, TETAP nih dengan lagu² putaran Radio.Kedah ataupun Radio Era nih, mai tang waktu berbuka jer diaorang pasang AZAN katanya - tu pon recorded dan diplayedkan tak habis, KAN? Mrasalah Seri Angkasa nih bagus - lepas ½jam, baru depa pasang live music. Classic ok ade orang mainkan piano nih, nyanyi lagu² Broery la, Jamal la, itu ini - mek suke! - EXCELLENT


Food and Beverages
  • Overall food presentation: Mek suka. Itu jer mek boleh katakan. MEK SANGAT suka! - EXCELLENT
  • Choices of beverages: Also mek suka - air²nya, sodap². Tak macam Hols Vils ok! Sedey air KIWI JUICEnya, kan Ginger, BS? Hehehehe - seleksi pon tak banyak, tak macam kat Seri Angkasa ni u ols. Seleksi meriah serta lazarts - TAPI slacknya cuma ade satu jer station/ table for the drinks. Mrasalah since it's a revolving restaurant, patutnya buat la dua tiga table for drinks. Tak der lah kena tawaf baru nak sampai ke drink stall itiew. HIKS! - AVERAGE
Secara keseluruhan - EXCELLENT!
