Between Big Apple and Giant donut

admin Avatar

We went to Giant Kota Damansara last Friday, after sending a parcel to US at Kota Damansara’s FedEx. I searched for FedEx location using Garmin in my N95, type fedex and no result was shown. I sought for ‘place nearby’ and no FedEx exist, the only place close to FedEx was Federal Express, I thought  it was Federal Highway (lama kutak balik KL). Then I used Google Map, that brought us to FedEx. And written on its wall ‘FEDERAL EXPRESS’. LOL. Sungguh stupid ignorance sekali.

It was lunch time and my tummy was rambling. To stop by and have our lunch there, it would make Abiy late for solat jumaat. So I rushed to the bread section, looking for something to alas perut. To cut the time, I picked a container with 5 donuts worth RM1.99. So about 4o sen per donut.

“Sure tak sedap ni tapi belasah aje lah”

Abiy is a good food tester. He won’t hesitate to complaint my out-of-taste cuisine. Tapi habis jugak. I was preparing ‘ayat’ to confront him if he complaint about the donut I bought.

Before he ate the donut I told him “Abang, I’m sorry kalau donut ni tak sedap. It’s the only thing yang dah di-pack & ada price tag. Nak ambil roti lain takut lambat”.

So Abiy ate it.

"”Eh sedaplah Yang. Macam Big Apple”.

It knocked my socks off. I tried it and yes, it wasn’t bad at all. Soft, gebu, sweet. It’s just I bought it from Giant.

I remember last time when we bought Big Apple donut from an outlet at my hometown. Sejuk dan tak sedap but we keep on going to Big Apple jugak. It was just a remark “Big Apple kat sini tak sedap”. But we never ban Big Apple.

See how it’s big name made us forgive and forget.

I can relate this to our real life. Life is somewhat about reputation. If you have good reputation and good name, even if you talk about little things, people will take it as ‘GOOD THOUGHT’ but if you come out from nowhere, nobody notices unless you’re extremely superb impressive. When nobody knows you, you voice unheard, just like the Giant donut. Is anybody makes review about Giant donut? Displaying its pictures in blogs? But I read many blogs showing Big Apple.. so yum-yum~~


Yummy yummy.. bila Abiy nak belanja lagi?

Since I was a little girl, people around keep on telling me “Alah, ayam goreng pasar malam lagi sedap dari KFC” or “Burger tepi jalan lagi sedap dari Mc Donald’s” but the same people keep on coming to those fastfood outlets. Including me lah. Apa barang beli burger tepi jalan LOL. Tak hygienic (wah, alasan murni).

Even if the righteous way is to accept good words and good advise from anybody eventho from a little child, but in real life.. yillek!

We have to have a name to be heard. Product has to has brand to be bought. LOL.

Talking about brand, back to uni time, I had a brand-conscious friend, and when asked about his all-branded-stuffs, he said “Aku kalau pakai benda2 branded ni baru boleh rasa konfiden.”

I tried to wear a so-called branded shirt (takdela branded pun, brand tahape2 je zaman uni dulu) and the feeling was “Alamak aku pakai baju branded ni, mesti orang ingat aku orang kaya. Kena jalan elok2 sebab orang pandang”. *Gelak guling2.

Adakah benda berjenama terkenal membuatkan kita berasa bagus?

***Saya paling suka donut 20sen yang dijual di sekolah dulu. Dan donut buatan sendiri.. sebab murah, LOL.

    BA donut mmg sedap. sy paling suka tengok diorang prepare donut sambil beratur tunggu giliran membayar. macam ada daya tarikan bila proses buat donut tu dipamerkan.

    sy bukan anti-donut yg bukan BA. cuma, pengalaman2 merasa donut yg tak berapa best buat sy rasa serik. hidup biar sedap! miahahaha 😛

    mmg ada org rasa yakin bila memakai brgn branded. ada yg kata berkualiti tu tahan lama. apapun, biarla berbaloi dgn duit yg kuar. tp bila bercampur dgn org wat kain baju ni, dorang kata, nama brand, yg wat mahal slain kualiti buatan yg ada QC. samalah mcm burger tepi jln, walau sedap tp kdg tukang masak bertukar2. samalah gak dgn bdak kt fastfud tu, kna mood x baik, mayo pun setitik dua… hahahaha….

    I prefet jco frm big apple.but not a fan of donut pun sbb cannot gi lah menda2 manis ni. Not good :). On d topic, ppl will go for branded stuff bcoz of lotsa reasons. Be it internal or external factors. Internal like self satisfaction, rewards to oneself etc. External factors like peer pressure, dont wanna b outdated etc. Yang penting tepuk dada tanya selera(read: tgk pocket dulu yer).jgn sampai biar papa asalkan bergaya 🙂
    P/s: owh i can see my dear baby in d header..toche!

    1st time dgr donut Big Apple..yg tahu Dunkin Donuts je. well, MIL punya mertua lagikk sedap dan paling penting, MURAH! hahhaa..besar dan gebu, masih lembut after 2-3 hours.

    well, sometimes yes…when we wear branded items, it will add confidence and reflex the lifestyle of that person. For handbags, now i go for “tahan lama” criteria and the same goes for electrical items.

    bkn takmo mkn yg tepi jln, cuma psl hygiene je kdg2 rasa was2 :p tp mmg ada burger tepi jln lebih sedap dari Burger King!

    * banner atas tu gmbr anak2 sapa?
    tadak pun gmbr Aliah :p

  22. Hanz Avatar

    tak pernah makan donut big apple ni
    tapi setuju ler ngan anasfadilah, kuih keria lagi sedap tau, yang my mom buat saban minggu…ingat lagi masa i kecik2 dulu, my mom uli2 tepungnyer ngan keledek sambil tengok tv masa malam…bila bangun pagi nak breakfast dah terhidang…

    cakap pasal branded, terpulang pada masing2 tapi me takder ler sebabkan brand baru boleh rasa konfiden..hemmm…
