My First Experience....

I was so exhausted & drained out yesterday! Hit straight to my comfy bed after dinner and doze off till the very next morning. I went for my 1st official interview @ Microsoft yesterday. In fact it was a whole day event where 50 fresh grads from various colleges & universities around the world gathered anxiously to be tortured by the fellow employees of Microsoft! Lol!!

There was analysis of case studies & presentations, then a one-to-one interview after that! We were there from early morning till 630pm. And also not forgetting my very first experience joining the crazy crowd at the LRT squeezing each other till I had no air left to breathe! With strong perfumes of aunties around me, I thought I was going to faint for a second. It was a nightmare indeed!

Microsoft was cool! In fact it was so nice! The place was nicely set up, with some comfy cushions around, a little pantry @ the corner with a fridge fully occupied with can drinks. It was definitely a great place to work at.

Back to some food I had some time ago @ Little Vietnam in Mid Valley. The prices here are much cheaper compared to some other Vietnam food I had before. I’ll just let the food do the talking!

Nice lighting @ the dining area

The food menu & lightings!

















The menu with so many yummy food!~I want to eat!!!! Lol!The chilis sauce was quiet good!
Cendol in a glass! Nice nice! Fried Vietnamese Popiah! Crunchy & tasty!
Have you ever heard of siu mai spagetti? Lol! Something different! Quite nice! The siu mai was good!~
Lemon grass chicken that comes with my Pho (noodles) soup! Rm 12.90 for the set!The soup tasted rather plain! haha!! With added kicap it was not bad!

tekko said...

Work for "the dark side" also nevermind, as long as you keep your heart "bright". You will get used to the strong perfumes if you take LRT early morning more often. :p

Where is the Microsoft office? I thought it's in Amcorp mall?

How come no pictures of the Microsoft office? Never been to their office, so wanna take a peek if you curi curi took pictures there.

What position you are applying for? IT?

I like the bamboo thingy on the walls for the decorations...really nice.. This place looks like Vietnam Kitchen @ 1Utama also. The place to put the chopsticks also the same. I like the cool long lights hanging from the ceiling, menu is great, because they have pics of what ur gonna order, you look like ur having a hard time choosing what to eat...lol..the drink 3 colours looks interesting, spring rolls are fried to perfection..not burnt, the spagetti need more sauce...i prefer it wet..more sauce, the lemon grass chicken looks too dry...and slightly burnt and i think the taugeh doesnt match...well, thats what i think lar..and whats Pho soup? I cant see whats inside...is it a plain soup? I dont think so, since its RM12.90! What soup is it?

jen said...

ehehe.. i like the food there!! not bad!! :)

Joan Chew said...

levine,

hmm.. i do wonder is this the same with the one at 1U... agree with u, the bright lightings sets a great ambience for diners. I looked confused cause I was undecided what to have! I wanted to eat everything! Lol!

i think pho = kuey teow! hehe!! yeah u should go try the desserts and noodles soup! quite nice! =)

Joan Chew said...

jen,
