Ampang Shopping

If you're from Britain or have been there or lives / lived there, then you would know Tesco. Malaysians are in love with anything that's British. Sadly though, their attitudes are nothing like them, especially their style of driving. Haha...

For those who don't know Tesco, then this is a supermarket to shop for your provisions. It's one of the branches in Malaysia. It's big and if you buy any of the Tesco made proucts, then the price differences are huge than other brands or make.

The only badd thing about this outlet is that they do not have a covered car park, which makes your vehicle absolutely warm like in the oven under, after parking there for about an hour or two under the hot blazing sun.
