I notice kitchen plugs.
What do you plan to hook up to those plugs?
Kettle/rice cooker/juicer/toaster/food processor/microwave/etc?
And how many active at one time.
Usually the plugs for appliances would run a dedicated line.
Do you plan to use dryer with the washer?

Thankx Guys for detailed feedback, Much appreciated !

So far I just clarified with the Electrician, he mention is not his fault, he did not touch the Kitchen or the AC MCB wiring, is the developer original setup. so he cant do much. he just advice me not to use all the heavy appliances all at once. He even say that newer condo uses a smaller DB box. Not sure what he said is true. Ill look for the condo management to confirm the case.

I guess like you said, not to use everything simultaneously, might be rare if i were to use all the appliances all at once.

Thankx again guys!

I guess the wiring came with the house and you are not doing any re-wiring.
Else, the wiring contractor would usually recommend running new lines. Quite easy job especially for a condo and good money for them.
I set up 2 Eubiq rails and the contractor ran a 32A for each and the hood taps from one of it.
Microwave is connected to the other one. Oven has it's own.
I'm grateful for that arrangement now.
I can cook rice, boil water, pre heat oven, run the food processor, hood and microwave all at the same time.
If your washer is a combo, you need to pay attention to the heater current draw if the line is shared with you kitchen appliances.
Sometimes, it can be easy to forget.
