Harrods sale is on now since 19 June. So we had a peep at the Big Sale. As usual, the branded goods are going for 40-50% discount. However, after the conversion to our Malaysian Ringgit, the prices are still too steep to own a branded bag. A Vaentino bag would cost GBP999, a Louis Vuitton is also in the same range.  The Harrods Department Store has been bought over from Al-Fayed. Hence, with the new management taking over, the Memorial for the late Princess Diana and Dodi might not be there anymore. But the Harrods mascot will definitely remain forever!.
Later in the evening, we went to the Charcoal Kebab House at WoodGreen. To me, they serve the best kebab in London. The food is delicious, the serving is big and the price is reasonable at only GBP4.50 per plate. I am pretty sure they use either oilve oil or sunflowerseed oil as salad oil in their cooking. I wonder when these restaurants will use our palm oil, maybe never at all because Malaysia is not promoting enough usage of palm oil as salad oil.
While there, we met a family friend from Shah Alam who is doing her Masters at Middlesex Uni, where my son graduated last July 2010. A very small world indeed!
