The Random Truths

OK. Tell me, quick.. what can you get with Rp. 1000? On the top of my mind.. a small pack of Taro (teteeupp), jasa parkir dari mas2 parkiran yang kadang2 juga nda ada membantu2nya, and all other small stuffs, because let's face it.. 1000 rups counts for almost nothing these days, correct? That's why it NEVER occured to me that 1000 rups can get you: 3 udang goreng mentega, 1 kepiting lada hitam, 1 cumi saus padang, 2 kerang saus tiram, 1 cumi goreng tepung, 2 ikan bakar, 3 portions of vegetables (not a big fan of veggies, so didnt bother to remember the menus =P), 5 ice teas, and 5 portions of rice. Impossible, you ask? Not at DCOST's Up To You programme it's not.. so the scheme is, every Monday in October, if you have a gold/platinum credit card from ANY bank, you can eat there and pay as much (or should I say, as little) as you like, no minimum charge. And it's just amazing how stingy people (read: Men) can be! I mean, I thought we were gonna give them at least 20,000 and it's already a very good bargain considering our bill was nearly 200K. But nooo... the male pride took over, and before you know it, 1000 was already written in the bill and printed in the receipt. Shaking your head in disbelief? Wait til you hear this.

A friend of mine (name not mentioned to avoid any form of violence towards the writer of this blog), had dinner with her whole big family at the same day. The bill was 750K. And her "up to you" price was...

7,500!!! Tsktsktsk... well, she should be thankful it was the last day of the promo. If not I'm sure they're gonna have her pic somewhere and blacklist her from visiting the restaurant sometime soon =P

Anw, I think it's a good marketing by Dcost, since now almost everyone I know are talking about the place and it's always so damn crowded! Havent been there? You should go and give it a try. The food's good, the place is OK, and the normal price is also very very reasonable, even without the Up To You price. It's at Kemang Raya, next to Coffee Bean. Who knows, they may have an even crazier promo by the time you go there =)
