John King And The Crocs

While in Penang, we went to Queensbay mall and Gurney Plaza. I passed by CROCS, hoping for some offer but too bad.. no more sale liow.. I remember seeing a BIG sale in KL through somebody's blog not too long ago but all I saw in Penang were some giant CROCS on display instead....

the giant CROCS

see how big they were....

then I looked down at my own sandals..
ooops...no, actually my mum's sandals..
we exchanged our sandals because
she told me that they were "biting" into her feet...lol..

Bought back some John King's tarts..
Saw them in this blog.... Tarts and Pies...

a variety to choose from....

see my girl???
she went and tried a bit of each...
guess who ate the rest of the remainder???

    Haha! Claire, you have finally found the shop - John King! Although there are lots of varieties, I still prefer Kg. Simee Choy Kee's egg tarts. What about you?
    P.S. Did you try their durian egg tart? One of their specialities...

    Thanks for promoting my blog!

    Any good...those tarts? Don't look very alluring though...but looks not important, the taste is what matters.

    Aunt Claire - never tried the tarts before le... cannot get in JB or Spore. Btw, be careful of Croc shoes. In Spore, many kids lost their toes when the slippers stuck in the escalator.

    I LIVE in Crocs, even to church!! I have a bunch of different colors. I love the big one!! Crocs are losing their popularity here, and their stock went way down, such a shame!

    I have came across this John King before but never buy the tarts. Unsure it is nice or not. Sure is it good?

  26. iamthewitchSeptember 15, 2010 at 11:26 AM

    I tried those tarts before.. not that fantastic hor? I prefer the egg tarts crust to be flaky and light. I found John King's type to be pretty normal...

  27. ReanaclaireSeptember 15, 2010 at 11:39 AM

    sumadak: not bad.. i like the crusty pastry..


    ling: it depends on individual.. for me, can la. but a bit pricey.. 11.30 for 6... expensive, right? the pastry is the crispy crust.. some like flaky ones.. but buy to try once, ok lar..


    sweetwitch: yeah.. if never try, buy and try .. after that, try others .. nothing really out of the world.. :)
