YOSHINOYA Serviettes

Yoshinoya is like a Japanese fast food to me. Had them twice and that's how these two serviettes came about. The left one with bigger Yoshinoya logo is from Yoshinoya Mid Valley and the right one is from Yoshinoya KLCC.

MADAM KWAN's Serviette

Another one of my favorite restaurant, Madam Kwan. They serve one of the best nasi lemak and nasi bojari. The price is a bit high for local food but they are delicious no doubt. Just been there last weekend and the serviette design hasn't change.

CHILI'S Serviette

Chili's is one of my favorite restaurant, been there numerous time with bosses, colleagues, family and friends. The serviette design remains the same all these while. Hopefully they will come up with some new design soon.

TGI FRIDAY'S Serviette

This is the TGI Fridays's serviette which I took probably a year or two back. I am not sure whether they have changed their serviette design since then as that is the one and only one time I ate in TGI Friday's until now.

KIM GARY Serviettes

Sometimes there are design changes which are not easily spotted, like the Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant serviette. If you look carefully enough, you will find the old design (left) to have a smaller logo than the current one (right).

SUSHI KING Serviettes

Sushi anyone? Above are Sushi King's serviettes. I don't quite remember which is older and which is newer as it's been a while since I last dined in Sushi King. If I remember correctly, the one with the square Sushi King design is the newer one. Again, you are seeing some serviette design which is no longer available currently.

SUBWAY Serviette

This SUBWAY serviette was taken when I was in Sherman, TX, United States. I still remember I bought two chicken sandwiches on separate days from this particular SUBWAY inside the Mobil Gas Station next to my hotel.

As you can see clearly on the serviette, SUBWAY was trying hard to campaign their less fat sandwich. I think it is a good idea to print the food nutrients information on the serviette like SUBWAY did. At least the information is provided and whether or not the consumer will take note is their own business. I do not know whether Malaysia SUBWAY has this kind of serviette or not as I never had SUBWAY in Malaysia before. Maybe it's time to pay them a visit.

THAI AIRWAYS Serviettes

Airline's serviette post # 3, this is the Thai Airways Serviette. Thai Airways has the most variations of serviette I have ever seen on an airline. Different sizes and different designs even on the same flight. These serviettes are taken during my flights from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok and from Bangkok to Munich. Maybe one of them is taken during my trip back Kuala Lumpur, I don't quite remember. I have no idea why they still providing the season greetings serviette as it was June when I traveled. Anyhow, lucky me to have another variation to add to my collections.

Well, that's all the airlines serviettes I have for now. Hopefully I will have the chance to take other airlines next time and collect their serviettes. FYI, Cathay Pacific Airways, AirAsia and Singapore Airlines only supply plane white serviette thus I do not collect them.

MALAYSIA AIRLINES Serviette

Since the last post was about airline's serviette, I guess I just continue with similar post. This time it is our very own Malaysia Airlines. It's been a while since I last took Malaysia Airlines ever since AirAsia came along. This Malaysia Airlines serviette was taken during my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne sometime April 2005 when I traveled there with my family.

AMERICAN AIRLINES Serviette

This is the serviette of the American Airlines. Obviously they are having some promotion with Citi Group and it's their 25th anniversary. The serviette was taken while I was on the flight from San Francisco to Dallas.

JUSCO Serviettes

The JUSCO serviette is available if you dine out at its food court. I wasn't a big fan of JUSCO food court but I have two of their serviettes here. The top one is a normal JUSCO serviette while the bottom one is a more special 20th anniversary edition. I believe nowadays the JUSCO food court serviette has been replaced with plane white serviette without any design printed. Cost saving measurements maybe. Even if they still have the normal JUSCO serviette available, I bet you can't find the 20th anniversary edition anymore.

KFC Serviettes

Well, let me start off with one of the World's most popular fast food restaurant - KFC. Did you all ever notice about the design changes in KFC serviettes when you were there? Or you were too busy using them to clean your hands that you never really notice about them? Don't worry, I was once like that, until one day I realized, hey, they have changed the serviette design! What I am showing here is probably history I would say, because you will never see these designs again in KFC.

The first serviette on the left is probably one of the earliest KFC serviette design. You might still be able to find them inside the spoon & ketchup package which come along with the KFC take away. I realized back then that the serviette which came in the package had a different design from what the serviette restaurant is providing. I am not sure whether this KFC serviette design still exist today.





I do not think you can find any KFC serviette with the same design as the second serviette on the left anymore. This was collected few years back and the serviette design has changed since then. Might be the only piece left on earth currently.










What's your KFC moment? This is also an old KFC serviette design, probably a year or two back. I don't quite remember when I collected this but it was about that time. You won't be able to see this serviette in any KFC restaurant anymore currently.










Now, I think this will look a bit familiar eh? Yes, this is the serviette design KFC currently has on all their restaurants. I haven't been to all KFC restaurants but I am pretty sure they are all the same as those that I've been to seem to have the same serviette design. And yeah, it's finger lickin' good!








That's all I have on KFC. I am sure some more will be added later in the future as they changed their serviette design. Till then, remember to take a look at the serviette next time when you are in the KFC.

How did I start?

How did I start on collecting serviettes? Well, I do not really have an answer for that. I guess I just like to collect stuff, and serviettes are those stuff which you can collect without spending extra money. And it turn out to be kind of cool hobby, at least for me it is. I have to admit that some serviettes do have excellent designs which somehow attract me.

I was not really into serviettes collecting in the first place but more towards collecting them when I saw some really nice ones. As time passed by, my interest grows and the more I collected. Soon I realized that some serviettes are more meaningful as they gone through some changes where the old designs were taken over by new designs. Thus the old designed serviette is discontinued and I might have the only piece existing! Although it is nothing to be proud of, but it feels good whenever I look at them knowing it might be the only piece in this world now.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends especially my beloved Pei Leng who help me to collect the serviettes. Without their help my serviettes collection surely will not be in the size it is now. I also would like to thank Fang Leng who taught me the word "serviette" as before that I only address serviette as tissue paper.

This blog is created so that I can share my interest in serviettes with all of you and hope you all like it.
