The Third Entry! - Tutti Frutti ❤

We decided, for our last and final entry for this assignment, instead of a main meal, why not go for a dessert? With all the assignments being given to us, it's safe to say that we're pretty stressed up. And what better way to release all this stress than by having some dessert. After all, stressed spelled backwards is desserts! :D
Say hello to our third entry, Tutti Frutti!


Introduced to the United States in 2008, this frozen yoghurt outlet expanded worldwide and has become a sensation ever since. The outlet that we went to was small and quite claustrophobic. The store could only fit 5 tables, two on the outside and 3 on the inside. One quarter of the store is practically used up by the machines that allows us to take frozen youghurt from. Even with the claustrophobic look, tutti frutti managed to pull off a cozy and welcoming feeling. The unique thing about tutti frutti was that they used some fancy looking lighting instead of plain ordinary spotlights or tube lights.

Just like Subway, getting frozen yoghurt from tutti frutti is self service. We start off by selecting a cup which ranges from a selection of 3 sizes. Each cup will be able to contain different amounts and therefore, would amount to different pricing. I'd consider ourselves lucky for that day as their policy for students is a 10% off on weekdays.


After taking youghurt from the machines, which may vary in flavours, we proceed to to the island adjacent to the cashier. That's where we pick our toppings.

Among the toppings they have to offer, ranges from fruits such as grapes, to breakfast cereal, such as cornflakes. If you are not a first timer at tutti frutti, you would know that fruits weigh more, and therefore, you would opt for the lighter toppings such as chocolate chips and cereal. This is because you are charged based on the weight of your youghurt and toppings in the cup. Don't forget syrup!

Check out the syrup they had to offer!

Of course after all this, it's time to pay. They have a weighing scale at the cashier and all we have to do is put our frozen yoghurt onto the scale for it to determine the price we have to pay.

Mine was most expensive, coming in with a price of RM 14.70, followed by Juvaz which was RM 10.20 and Jamie, RM 6.30. All these prices were after the discounts, so you can imagine the amount of frozen yoghurt we took.
All in all, we had a good and enjoyable time. We really eased our minds on assignments even though having this dessert was part of one assignment. Nevertheless, it was very much enjoyable.

The Second Entry! - Subway ☼

For our second place, we decided to go for a healthier choice. That is why we ended up at subway, the sandwich shop.
Subway is a fast food joint that sells submarine sandwiches, also known as subs.
It originated from Connecticut in the mid 60-s.
With their combination of fluorescent white light and yellow, as their interior lighting, this was really interesting to me. Bright white lights were placed above the counter as well as the place to take orders, while warm yellow lights were placed at the dining area. The kind of lights they used above the counter were spotlight type to ensure they focus on the choice of subs they had to offer. Although their warm yellow lighting made subway look a little dull from the outside, however, once you're inside, it's a nice and comforting feeling.
What makes this fast food sandwich joint so unique, is that it allows you to pick your own fillings and toppings and basically get someone to make the sandwich of your choice. You can pick a sandwich of your choice just by following these simple steps.
Here's how it goes:



Step 2: Pick your choice of bread which ranges from a wide variety, some of which are Italian, Hearty Italian, Wheat, Wholegrain and White.


Step 4: Select your filling. If you are a herbivore like me, you can opt for a Veggie Delight consisting of all the vegetables that subway has to offer. But, if you are a carnivore like Jamie, you can pick any kinds of meat to go with your sandwich.

Step 5: Choosing a topping. These toppings are all sauces which consist of mayonnaise  thousand island, olive oil and even salt and pepper.

Of course after following all these steps, the last and final step before enjoying the meal, is to pay for it.
Juvaz and Jamie had the sub of the day which was roasted  chicken. A sub of the day is a sandwich that is on offer for that particular day and is charged with a lower price.

All of us really enjoyed the sandwiches. Their portions were just right and their sandwiches were fresh.
Safe to say, Subway was a right and healthy choice to make :D
