Major Car Repair - :(

After 3 years plus and more than 80000km mileage, my car started to have intermittent engine vibration. Sent to service centre for troubleshooting and found out to be flywheel problem.

The whole flywheel replacement process took about 3.5 hours. Very impressed with the young mechanic named Kitt. He's not only competent but also friendly.

First, the car needs to jack up.

Then, wheels need to be removed.

The old one ...

Swensen's Auto City

Guess what, tonight we are going to indulge ourself with great foods at Swensen's Auto City.

Let's take a peek on the surrounding first, very cosy environment indeed.

Ok Ok, someone cannot wait liao ...

With only 2 adults and 2 kids, not much variety that we can try. Anyway, look at what we had ordered;
1) Deep fried mushroom served with delicious creamy tartar sauce (RM8.90). It may look 'ugly' but the taste was so good with the tartar sauce, ummmm...

2) Chicken mushroom spaghetti served with tomato sauce and sprinkled with cheese on top (RM15.90). To me, so so nia. Nothing to shout about. Still prefer my home cooked spaghetti with Prego sauce, minus the price. ;)

3) BBQ chicken (RM17.60). Half chicken, tenderly braised and grilled in smoked BBQ sauce. Served with potatoes and vegetable. Quite big serving and enough for 2 adults.

4) Swensen's Banana Split ice-cream (RM15.90). 3 scoops with 3 flavors. The strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice-cream drenched with chocolate fudge, strawberry and pineapple toppings, fresh banana slices and almond chips. My kids loved it, of course me too.
