After buying Jasmine green milk tea at Beutea Sri Petaling, I headed to NSK Trade City Kuchai Lama to use the CNY promo voucher. All you need to do is download the NSK mobile app, claim your one-time voucher, and head to your nearest NSK outlet to enjoy the savings listed below.
The NSK Kuchai Lama was decorated with CNY decorations, and some stalls had already started selling CNY related items.
The place was packed with people, and it took me some time to find the three promo items as follows:
Somehow, I learned how to select fresh prawns by observing someone nearby who was choosing them. She kindly shared a tip: pick those with a hard shell.
Google AI search also provided some helpful tips for choosing fresh prawns:
Appearance
- Shell: Should be hard and firm, not soft or limp.
- Head: Should be clean, strong, and firmly attached to the body.
- Eyes: Should be bright and not shrunken or glazed over.
- Flesh: Should be translucent or bluish-gray in color and shiny.
- Black spots: Avoid prawns with black spots on the head or shell, as this indicates oxidation and poor storage conditions.
Smell
- Fresh prawns should have a slightly salty, sea-like smell.
- Avoid prawns that smell pungent, fishy, or like ammonia.
Texture
- Avoid prawns that feel mushy or slimy, as this indicates they are stale.
Storage
- Store prawns in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase.
- Raw prawns can be frozen in an airtight container with or without the shell.
Besides prawns, there was seafood such as abalone, crabs, giant river prawns, and even lobster available.
The total bill for these three items was RM37.16 after discounts, and I saved around RM15—especially on a great deal for a carton of 100 PLUS Original (28 cans + 4 free) for only RM23.38!
