My tailoring shop update - Long Hiatus

When did I last update about my tailor shop? Its been a while.  What a long hiatus.  Well... the fact is we are still waiting for the approval of our quota, by which this will enable us to hire foreign workers.  Its still at Labour Department.

And today we were visited by the officers from Labour Department to check the shop and the staff house to ensure we provide proper accomodations and working environment for all these workers we are going to hire.

And I know we provide good accomodations for them and good working conditions.  So I am hoping there wont be any issues on this and our request for quota will be approved.  And get this show on the road!

Hubby Restaurant Update - Constructions finished!

Yaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............

 

Look at these pictures!  The restaurant is now done, constructions has finished and let me present to you our new restaurant.!

 

Very very excited.  We are almost there.  After more than 2 months these are the finished products.  Looks amazing, I couldnt believe these are ours.  Our very own restaurant!  How cool!!!

 

Although.. let me just take a deep breath for a while.... huhu...

 

There are still alot to be done.  Alot of shopping, alot of decoration ideas.  Stuff to settle,  Things to do.  And workers to hire.  Menu to prepare.

But I am so happy that we come this far.  Its such a nice feeling to be able to witness this.  Its like a new baby for hubby and I :)

 

So looking forward to make this place come alive.

 

Updates will continue soon with the latest developments until this place is fully operational.  Its going to be exciting for the next few months.

Hubby Restaurant Update - The Airconditioners

The airconditioners are now fixed.  There are 3 of them altogether.  One with 2.5 hosepower, the other 2 are 2 hosepower.  I am sure these are sufficient to cool the place, especially when there are patrons there.

 

Hubby opted to purchase the new type of aircon called the Inverter Air Conditioners .  They look similar like the normal aircon but they could save the electricity bills since there are no stop-start cycles like the normal aircons, thus lead to efficiency.  Although these types are a little bit more expensive but we are thinking of long term usage so we are excited about this.

Hubby Restaurant Update - Kitchen Equipments

Well.. alot has been going on since the last update. 

 

The restaurant is now in shape.  We went to check some kitchen equipments, the heavy duty ones specially made for restaurant businesses.  They are really robust and rock solid.  Although we cringed abit when we found out about the price.  These equipments were costly!  They could easily cost hubby around B$10,000 alone.  So we were thinking of buying some stuff from Miri where the price could be slashed to half.  Except for the sink, where they dont have that in Miri.

 

All these kitchen equipment are stainless steel and we dont have to worry about the rust and the damp.  There are a few choices at this particular place.  But as I said, they are pricey.  But still this is the most important part of the restaurant so we need to sort them out whether we like it or not.

Hubby restaurant's update

Hubby is getting frustrated because the restaurant construction is a bit delayed and took longer than promised.  I know he was right, the contractor promised to finish it in one month, and its more than 2 months now.  I remember we started the renovation in May 2012 so its unacceptable for them unable to fulfill their promise.

After some persistence and "rough" talk they scrambled to finish the whole project.  And I am glad to report the restaurant is now almost complete and it looks really nice.

I got to choose the colour scheme :) and I am so happy to see the end product hehehe.  It look very homely, comfy and cool.  I hope it will be able to attract customers to come, of course with good food accompanying it.
