Yup, a NEW Tesco branch has sprung up in S. Petani, Kedah a few days ago! On Oct 9th, to be exact. Just a stone's throw away from Giant SP...now is that a coincidence or what?
Well, yours truly here decided to make a beeline for this new Tesco (me will refer to it as Tesco SP South from now as the older, smaller one is near the North Toll Plaza to SP) yesterday ie 111009, only the 3rd day from its opening.
The place was easy to find, being just by the roadside (sort of) and clearly visible from some distance away. Moreover, one is helped along by the many signs with arrows showing the way...
Yup, this Tesco SP South is BIG...as advertised...the biggest? hypermarket in SP! 3 Floors of it! Seeing is believing! After this visit, Tesco Mergong in A/Star is now kinda "tiny"?
There are lots of shoplots to shop around and it was complete with a number of restaurants, besides the usual Food Court. We planned (upon arrival) to have our lunch at the Chicken Rice Shop....feeling safer to do so...from experience...haha! However, when lunch time came, that place was full to its brim! As it was, lunch was finally taken at Old Town White Coffee restaurant...and, even there, there was only ONE table vacant! Phew! And yup, there was a crowd by then...with ppl still streaming in...
Here are a couple of pics of the shoplots area...on the 1st floor...
And 1 more pic here to make it 3....haha!
So, what do you think? Nice? Pics not show the crowd cos they were taken upon arrival and me waited for a "clear view", not wanting to offend anyone caught in the pics...
Believe it or not, we spent more than 4 hours there, including lunch, of course! And time really flew...but we didn't leave empty-handed though. Me almost landed with an extra big bill (RM899) but sanity ruled. The "need" won against the "want"! No "fight" at all.
However, back in Lot 10, when we discussed what we had seen while we were there, it was soon realised that we still did not know all about what's what & where as well as what's really there in Tesco SP South. The conclusion? Another visit is so needed! Ha ha!
Btw, last Saturday, 101009, was the usual COD (Chef's Off Day). Not to bore you here, lunch & dinner were simple meals out. Cine Nite was good with the movie "The Proposal". If you have not seen that one, you should...the most unexpected of things can happen to 2 persons!
Well, another week is here. What can I say but to be thankful for another "bonus" week gone by!
Have a good week ahead! Ok?
