The most comprehensive eye-check I had to date!

I have been using contact lens as long as I can remember. My normal mode of “eye care ” involves walking into an eye care store, getting my eyes checked & praying that my eye power has either; miraculously lowered or remains the same. Then I’ll walk out with a 6 months stash of Acuvue Monthly disposables or whichever brand that may be having a promotion.

While I try to be be good, getting them eyes examined every 6 months; if truth were to be told, it is only when my vision starts to get blury (which is then I realized maybe my power has changed) I would hastily make an effort.

I’m sure most of us can relate to this.

My recent good fortune had landed me an opportunity to review Johnson & Johnson’s One Day Acuvue Moist. I’ve just picked them up last week so my review on that would be after 2 weeks of use.

For now, I absolutely must share with you the most COMPREHENSIVE eye examination of my life! Seriously. Bear with me as I take you through how a PROPER & THOROUGH eye-check should be like. It is NOT the usual “put on a pair of glasses, optician switches the lenses til he determine your eye power & the whole “can you read out the line below the ‘D’ ” routine”.

And, there is a difference between an OPTICIAN & an OPTOMETRIST.

The whole session lasted about 20 minutes & was concise, efficient & comprehensive. Mr Woon, the Optometrist is experienced, knowledgable & affable, making the whole session a truly educational one.

We started out with the usual tests.

Tai Zi Heen, Prince Hotel KL – All You Can Eat Dim Sum Buffet

Prince Hotel KL Chinese Restaurant Tai Zi Heen offers a pretty value for money HALAL dim sum buffet at RM55++ (RM63.00 nett) on weekends. Starting from 1130am to 2pm, order & staple as much you could from its moderately extensive menu.

As with all buffets, there are hit & misses. Naturally, we hoped for more of the former than the latter.

Even with our expectations in check since we are all aware that this is halal fare, the general consensus among the 4 of us was “Ok“, “you get what you pay for“, “decent“; with some dishes bordering on inedible (our personal opinions ok) & some “good“.

Let’s begin with the GOOD:

Egg tarts were flaky & light with sweet centres. The Crispy corn flake-crusted tuna rolls were my fav. Crusty cornflakes encasing flaky tuna with chilli & chopped corn/carrots is hard to beat 😉 .

This is Andes’ Yummy Mummy Lamb Stew. The first vision I got from the word “lamb stew” is the thick broth-y version with chunks of carrots & potatoes. Well, here at Andes, it got Chinese-fied.
