Not Updating

2007-07-24T05:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not updating for a long time. I am really busy with my studies now as I will be having a major examination in two months time. I will try my best to bring you the latest food topic during my free times. I hope you have a nice day.

Manhattan Fish Market

2007-07-02T08:46:00.000-07:00

Yo, yesterday I went to Manhattan Fish Market at Queensbay Mall to try out. Yesterday was my first time and that outlet is the one and only in Penang. Before Manhattan Fish Market opens in Queensbay, I always go to Fish and Co. to eat.

It is located at the concourse area. My friends ordered Seafood Platter for 2, Catch of the Day (Dory Fish), Fish and Chips and I ordered Salmon.

Flaming on the fish to grill it. I don't know why they do that for. I don't see it at Fish and Co.

Here you go for the Seafood Platter for 2, RM4x.00

Then this is the cheapest meal of all, the Fish and Chips. To me I think it lose to Fish and Co, the portion is small, and not as crispier as the Fish and Chips at Fish and Co.

The Catch of the Day, yesterday was Dory Fish and according to my friend it was not bad, I guess really not bad, HAHAHA

Lastly, here is my Salmon set. The Salmon was kinda small, but after eating everything includes fries, I am full. YUMMY.

So to me I still prefer Fish and Co., yet the Seafood Platter can fight, next time I go Fish and Co. to test their Seafood Platter then I'll tell which is the best. =]

Siu Long Bao At Queensbay

2007-07-02T08:16:00.000-07:00

Not Dragon-i in Queensbay Mall. It's outside the shop lot there at Queensbay. The shop name is call House of Dumpling. Siu Long Bao is a kind of dumpling that is origin from Shanghai, China. There is soup (some say juices) in it with meat. You bite a little of the top and then you like suck out the soup or, tear into half on a spoon and you drink it.

Dip the Siu Long Bao with some vinegar and put some ginger on it, it will then taste very delicious and nice. The Siu Long Bao here not bad. The last time I had a Siu Long Bao was like last year at Cititel, Mid Valley there.

Besides Siu Long Bao, we ordered the Fish Ball Soup. Kinda nice too, I like the soup.

We got this vegetables with oyster soya sauce. First food to served that time. Cause very hungry, I ate almost half of the portion.

This is Spring Onion Lar Mian (Ramen). Add some peanut butter and it taste different.

However, I like this Bak Chor Ramen more than the Spring Onion Ramen because this have meat and that Spring Onion Ramen don't! Haha.

Lastly, we got this so call Mouse Bao. Nice!

Fish Head Bee Hoon near Jalan Jelutong

2007-06-28T08:35:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, I and papa and mama go to Jeletong there to eat this fish head bee hoon (rice noodle). According to my mom, she say there very famous one and need to wait for some times. It's near Jalan Jelutong and Perak Lane. Not so sure, but as far as i know it's near Jalan Jelutong.

Indeed, the fish head bee hoon is very nice. We ordered 2 version, 1 is bee hoon another is moi (porridge). Then dad ordered the crab. He say not always get to order the crab.

I feel the best is not the bee hoon but is the crab. I like the soup very much. Nice! Go try it now!

I locate myself there. Haha.

New Lane eat Fish Head Bee Hoon and Hokkien Mee

2007-06-28T08:31:00.001-07:00

Do you know New Lane got very nice Fish Head Bee Hoon (rice noodle)? It's at the Kopitiam there. My dad's friend say that the one beside the small plaza one is better, but need to wait very long. We eat finish already, the food only come. But still the same one I think. The Fish Head and Fish Fillet Bee Hoon is nice.

Besides ordering the Bee Hoon (rice noodles), I ordered one of my favourite Penang food which is the Hokkien Prawn Mee. So so only, still can eat. I like the one at Tanjong Tokong one. You can give it a try, maybe I am wrong. HAHA

Go New Lane now ! =]

Roasted Chicken At Food Loft

2007-06-26T02:05:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I went to the bloggers gathering - The Orient Voices at Food Loft. This event was sponsored by Food Loft, Nuffnang and Exabyte. So, we bloggers were able to eat free.

We were given an order card with RM15 credit in it and we are free to order anything. In total as long as it do not exceed RM15, we do not need to pay. If you lost the card, you need to pay RM100.

I once visited Food Loft last year during my birthday. I last time ordered the steak, but it wasn't nice. This time I ordered a American Quarter Roasted Chicken which is RM14.90. Didn't exceed the amount lo.

But guess what, when check out that time, I still need to pay additional RM1.40 for the service tax and government tax. =(

The roasted chicken was nice. Like it. Quarter roasted chicken, rice, fries and some little salad.

Food Loft is at 4th floor of Gurney Plaza.

Nice Western Food at Fettes Park

2007-06-23T06:40:00.000-07:00

Anybody live near Fettes Park? Live far also nevermind, you can always drive yourself there. The western food there is not very expensive. You know the Fatty Loh Chicken Rice at Fettes Park? The western food is at there, sells only at night.

FYI, if you are from other places, not from Malaysia, this western food here is not same, it's oriental style.

I ordered this Chicken Gorden Blue, which is chicken with cheese and ham inside. Nice! I like this, got cheese. RM7.50 only.

Look what is inside?

My mom ordered a Grill Garlic Fish Fillet. Quite nice, but bit too salty. Love the garlic and the fillet.

It's Fruit Season. Durian, Rambutan, Mangosteen

2007-06-19T07:32:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, I went to Teluk Bahang there to eat fruits. Exactly opposite the Butterfly Farm, a small stall selling Rambutans, Durians and Mangosteen. That day was raining, feeling cold.

My dad's friend book the fruit already, so the guy selling it ensure we get to eat, LIVE on the spot. If take home will become not really fresh already.

From Balik Pulau to Teluk Bahang needs at least 20 minutes. That day, it took my dad half and hour because of the rainy weather. I don't know why this few days always rain. Today rain whole morning till afternoon.

Some durian was tasteless, some was nice and sweet. Some durian we ate were very fresh as the seller there said that they picked it up when they drop and straight send to here.

I ate quite lot durians there. Eat until burp burp, and got the durian smell came out of my mouth. XD I wonder what if I burp during the assembly in school hall. HAHA.

Loves it?

Chili's Grill and Bar

2007-06-18T08:11:00.000-07:00

Last week I finally have chance to try out at this American food restaurant. Chili's Grill and Bar. I went there with my brother, my dad don't really like western food while my mom was sick.

We went there for dinner.

The restaurant not really big, many people were there. Full House, but there was places at the bar there, since I and my brother went only, so it's Ok.

The Margarita Bar. Inside is very well decorated, get a new feel. Feel like in America's restaurant. Haha.

The food is rather expensive, but still ok because of its nice food and big portion. I ordered Mushroom Jack Combo Fajitas and my brother ordered Quesa Beef. For drinks, since my Mushroom Jack is already RM37.xx, I just ask for sky juice then my brother ordered a Pina Chilada. Sweet!

My sky juice. (:

A Pina Chilada. Slurpppp.

This is my Mushroom Jack Fajitas chicken and beef combo. A bit salty, but it's still cool when you eat with the bread liked thing below. Loves the mushroom and the beef. There is vegetables in it too.

My Mushroom Jack comes with 3 pieces of this Chapati liked thin flat baked dough. Take some beef, chicken, mushroom, and add some salsa sauce, wrap it up with it, YUMMY!

This is my brother's Quesa Beef. Pizza liked food. Tasty, inside got beef, vegetables and cheese. The center white thingy is actually yogurt, but it's tasteless, sucks.

The salsa sauce. If you don't like western food, you definitely don't want to go here because the food is too Western-ish, cheesy. However, I think the original restaurant in the States will be better as I saw the caucasian went away after a few bites, guess the food there not as good as they have in their country. If you are locals and loves western food, you should go try.

Next time want to go try their Burger ^^.

Where is Chili's?
Located ground floor of G-Hotel, at Gurney Place there.

Yummy Ramli Burger

2007-06-17T09:22:00.000-07:00

I believe Ramli burger can fight with McDonald's. It's truly made in Malaysia. RM3.50 with eggs, vegetables and beef/chicken. Still got cheaper one without eggs. Some also got cheese, see what you want.

Yummy. You can find it at street stalls here in Penang at night. The above one is at Prima Tanjong, Fettes Park.

Check this out. It's beef. Hungry now? The person take egg and wrap the beef up and put in some sauce, ketchup.

Rambutan !!!

2007-06-10T08:15:00.000-07:00

Now not only because Durian season, durian very "hot". Now also Rambutan season.

The Rambutan (IPA: [raˈmbu.t̪ɑn], Nephelium lappaceum) is a medium-sized tropical tree in the family Sapindaceae, probably native to southeast Asia, and the fruit of this tree. It is closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the Lychee, Longan and Mamoncillo. It is believed to be native to the Malay Archipelago where the name quite literally means 'hairy'. although its precise natural distribution is unknown. In Costa Rica and Nicaragua, it is known as mamón chino. from wikipedia

The Wikipedia version of Rambutan got so many name, but I believe here, we just this local fruit Rambutan in English/Malay, Ang Mor Tan in Hokkien, Hoong Mole Tan in Cantonese while Hoong Maul Tan in Mandarin.

The name :

Ang/Hoong - meaning Red colour
Mor/Mole/Mau/Rambut - hair
Tan - In ancient Chinese, their medical pill is a small ball. This small ball was call Tan 丹。

This fruit is kinda popular here in Malaysia and you can plant it in your compound too as the weather and climate here is very suitable for Rambutan planting.

I don't eat rambutan much because I just lazy to tear open and eat its flesh. You can't eat the whole thing, because you may accidentally swallow the seeds which is quite big. If someone want to tear for me, then hehehe, sure will eat all.

Sometimes, people will add rambutan flesh into desser like Si Kuey Th'ng. You only can eat the rambutan when it's turn bright red which mean it has riped.

Take a bite at the flesh or take out the seed. It taste sweet.

See? It's hairy ^^. Above pictures and rambutan were taken from my grandma's rambutan tree :). Cool eh? Free Rambutan.

Little Cottage 2

2007-06-09T08:48:00.000-07:00

Hihi, last Thursday I went to Little Cottage 2 to have my lunch with mom, dad and my brother. There only serve Western and Italian food, no Chinese food. The set lunch is quite cheap, from RM9.90 to RM19.90. So how's the food? Continue reading :)

Where's Little Cottage 2?
It's at Waterfall Hotel at Gottlieb Road. Went there to eat because it's near to my dad's shop.

So, they served mushroom soup before serving you the main course. Quite nice, but somehow I don't know why my brother's soup have A oyster.

I ordered the RM15.90 set, Mexico Chicken set. I like the sauce that pour onto the Chicken, something like BBQ sauce, sweet. The mashed potato was nice too. I kinda like this food.

This Golden Fried Fish Fillet was for my mom. This set cost only RM9.90. Fish and chips! Not so nice loh, the fillet was kinda hard. I recommend you go eat the Fish And Chips by Fish & Co.

Here comes the RM19.90 set lunch my brother ordered, "Monte-Cristo" Chicken, I don't know what it means. It's almost like mine, but with black pepper and taste a bit spicy and sweet. Not bad also.

What about my dad? OMG, his food is the most expensive among 4 of us. He don't eat western food, he don't like the cheese. The restaurant owner introduce my dad to eat the don't know what it call Hokkien-Char liked spaghetti. Since it almost like Chinese food, my dad ordered it. It really taste like Hokkien-Char, and spaghetti as noodle with big prawn and some vegetable. Guess how much is this thing? RM28.90! My dad say he wouldn't order this thing again. Sorry I didn't take the photo of it, forgotten. Haha.

Gottlieb Road Assam Laksa

2007-06-07T03:58:00.000-07:00

Yo, today I bring you to eat Assam Laksa at Gottlieb Road, opposite Penang Chinese Girls High School.

Assam laksa is a sour fish-based soup. Asam (or asam jawa) is the Malay word for tamarind, which is commonly used to give the stock its sour flavor. It is also common to use "asam keping" also known as "asam gelugor", dried slices of tamarind fruit, for added sourness. Modern Malay spelling is asam, though the spelling assam is still frequently used.

So my version of Asam Laksa is, MUST EAT FOOD WHEN COME TO PENANG as it is PENANG FAMOUS. It is noodles in sour spicy soup, not very spicy with fish, vegetables, onion, pineapple and sometimes fish ball.

There are many laksa here in Malaysia, got Assam Laksa, Kelatan Laksa, Johor Laksa, Sarawak Laksa, Thai Nyonya Laksa, Singapore Katong Laksa. Waa, so many laksa? Yes, but today I want to talk about Assam Laksa.

See the photo? You know what is it? It's infront of the stall, haha! If you guys went to a laksa stall before long time ago at Bagan Jermal there, near Gurney roundabout (now is a junction with traffic light). I went there when I am small, they moved to here long time ago.

Every time I go eat laksa, I will always order this Spring Roll, not like other spring rool, this one is inside without vegetables. How you can eat it is, dip it inside the laksa soup or with chili sauce.

I loves Assam Laksa a lot, as you can see I eat until almost dry. Hehe. There is still many place to eat nice Assam Laksa in Penang, next time I go I sure blog about it to share with you guys. Enjoy.

Look for this coffee shop at Gottlieb Road, opposites of Penang Chinese Girls' High School, near the junction there. ^^

Durians On Trees

2007-06-06T04:44:00.000-07:00

We call Liu Lian in Penang. Liu Lian is Durian in Hokkien Dialect and Mandarin while in Cantonese is called Lao Lean.

Ever seen Durian on trees before BEFORE it drop down from the trees? Here it is. This photo is taken from the ONLY durian tree in front of my dad's furniture shop. :) Now waiting it to drop down naturally, and not plug it from the tree, or blown down by wind or anything. Hehe

So many durians.... I eat free.

Unfortunately, these durians were blown down. Sad, cannot eat.

Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice

2007-05-28T23:01:00.000-07:00

Today, I bring you to Kedai Makan Dan Minum Wen Chang (Wen Chang's Eat and Drink Shop, lame translation, summarized is Wen Chang's Restaurant) at Lebuh Cintra (Cintra St.) to eat nice Hainan Chicken Rice by Wen Chang.

This restaurant is situated heart of Georgetown and very near the tallest building in Penang, the KOMTAR. The restaurant is not AC-ed, but it's clean and during lunch time, it is packed with a lot of people.

I believe it is truly Hainan Chicken Rice because the chef and his workers there all communicate with Hainan language. No worry, they are Malaysians, they can speaks a few languages, English to Mandarin, to Malay to some Chinese dialects =D.

Loh Bak

There is specialize in Chicken, so no Duck or Char Seow (Roasted Pork, taste sweet), Seow Bak (Roasted Pork, I don't know how to explain, but you can try it out when you come to Penang), but they have Loh Bak, a very nice dish, you deep the meat into Chili sauce and you eat it, it taste sweet also, Nice! I recommend Loh Bak.

The vegetable soup for you to drink before the Chicken Rice is served.

How you order Chicken Rice is, you tell the chef which part of Chicken you want. Like I, myself loves the Chicken Wing, I tell him "Uncle, give me black/white chicken wing", black means roasted chicken and white means steamed chicken. If you order drumstick part, you should see how he remove the bone, their skill very good at removing the bone at drumstick.

Here have black and white chicken wing.

I forgot to tell you what is Chicken Rice, Chicken rice is rice that taste like chicken. HOCHIAK(Delicious in local Hokkien dialect)!

How to get there?

Taxi, tell taxi driver you want go Lebuh Cintra and then you look for the Wen Chang Restaurant.
Ask your local friends to drive you there.
Or if you are at Campbell Street walking down to Buckingham Street, notice road sign Lebuh Cintra on your right or opposite from Buckingham to Campbell Street, notice your left hand side for the road sign.

Penang International Floral Festival

2007-05-28T06:57:00.000-07:00

Welcome tourist, this week, you got another place to visit which is the Penang Botanical Garden as there is the Penang Internation Floral Festival from 27th May to 3rd June. You get to buy plants, flowers, see beautiful flowers and bring along your camera to snap nice photos.

Don't worry if you miss the fun yesterday, this festival runs from 27th May to 3rd June. Morning 9am to 8pm. XD But remember bring towel and wear sport shoes, cause there is 2 site need to climb up. I didn't climb though, my mom don't want to and because we were not in sport shoes.

How to get there?

By taxi, tell the driver : To Botanical Garden.
You can't go by local buses.
Ask your local friends to bring you there.

Don't forget after seeing the flowers you can grab yourself some nice ice cream there.

Ice Cream Bread

2007-05-28T06:51:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to Botanical Garden for the Penang Floral Festival 2007. After snapping photos at the flowers. My mom decided to buy me Ice Cream which is put in bread. It's nice of course. Bread + Ice Cream = Energy to Blog! Haha.

Sadly there don't have my favourite flavor, Vanila! Instead I asked for a scoop of Chocolate and a scoop of Yam.

She added a topping of peanut onto it and it taste nice!

I don't really know where do sell this, but where I bought it is at infront of Penang Botanical Garden. So after watching monkeys, jogging, hiking or anything to do in the Botanical Garden, you can get yourself some ice cream at the stalls outside Botanical Garden.

First Chili's Opens In Penang

2007-05-26T09:32:00.000-07:00

I proudly present you the first American Chili's Grill & Bar at Gurney Plaza. Yes, this is the only place you can find Chili's in Penang, not other place, YET. I haven't go try the food out yet, but definitely I will go try very soon man! I have seen pictures of the foods from Chili's and it looks delicious.

When I pass by the restaurant, I could see a lot of people in there, most probably is because of it's new here and a lot of people would love to try it out. So this coming Monday, 28th May 2007 is the official opening day for the restaurant here.

Where is it?
Gurney Plaza.
Specifically Chili's is next to Breeks, located beside G Hotel or beside Gurney Plaza (it's the same, because Gurney Plaza and G Hotel share Gurney Place). There are coffee shops like Starbuck Coffee, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Segafrado, Dome and more at Gurney Place, so after watching a late night movie, you can enjoy some nice drinks there and get read some emails there with the hotspot provided by some restaurant/coffee shop.

Gurney Drive

2007-05-24T04:53:00.001-07:00

Gurney Drive is a must go place when you come to Penang. Shopping mall and food are famous here. You can go for a jog along Gurney Drive pedestrian walk way in the morning at the same enjoying the cool sea breeze. Then get yourself some nice Bak Kut Teh and Dim Sum at many of the restaurant down Gurney Drive. At night, you can go clubbing at Gurney Hotel there or enjoy some coffee while surfing the net at Coffee Bean or Starbucks Coffee which can be found at Gurney Hotel and Gurney Place (Gurney Plaza).

Durian Season Is Here!

2007-05-21T02:06:00.000-07:00

My mom's friend brought us 4 durian from her durian farm. The durian season is here. There is a durian tree at my dad's office. Sometimes I am surprise that when traveler pass by, they are like "See, durian!".

Durian is a very nice fruit. King of Fruit indeed true but many foreigners don't like it, as they claim that it is the most smelliest food in the world. You are wrong then, the AROMA is strong, but when you taste it, it is darn nice. I bet it is.

Durian nowadays are not as nice as last time because now people added chemical into the soil to make the durian tree grow faster and more fruits, it is not natural already, but somehow it very huge and big. My teacher told me that when go Sarawak, we must try the durian there as no chemical and anything, all natural. Very juicy.

I heard of the Durian name before, but I forget it already. Anyway, I am going to a durian farm this coming holiday at Balik Pulau and I will sure ask for the names.

Ok, what my mom told me is Durian must eat straight when the fruit is open, don't buy those wrap in plastic container as it may lose freshness although kept in the fridge. But keeping the whole thorny fruit at home, the aroma of it may spread into your whole house. At that time, you will need a lot of freshener to refresh your house.

Lorong Selamat

2007-05-16T07:51:00.000-07:00

To relax myself for the coming school exam which is on the day after tomorrow, I gonna bring you to Lorong Selamat in Penang for nice Ice Kacang and Hokkien Prawn Mee. As I said, the Kopitiam(coffee house in local dialect) is located at Lorong Selamat (Selamat Lane). The Kopitiam got no name.

[Image]The Kopitiam at Lorong Selamat. Don't have name of the Kopitiam. KEDAI KOPI DAN ICE KACANG.

HOKKIEN MEE

[image] Hokkien Prawn Mee. In other states, they call it Penang Prawn Mee （槟城虾面）

Hokkien Prawn Mee. Locals call it HOK-KIEN MEE. This one is nice, one of my favourite street/hawker food. The soup is a bit spicy, with prawn taste. When you ordered one bowl, inside will consist of noodles, prawns, boiled egg, vegetable (some place got put, some don't), and meat. The Hokkien Prawn Mee at this Kopitiam is delicious. Recommend it.

Note : In Penang got 2 types of Hokkien Mee, 1 is Hokkien Mee which is soup based and the other one is Hokkien Char Mee which is friend noodles in Hokkien style.

Ice Kacang is a kind of dessert very famous here. It is shaved ice with syrup, red beans, leong fern (Grass Jelly), ice cream and sometime with banana or other fruits.

The Ice Kacang here is nice too as this place is also famous for its Ice Kacang. But at Swattow Lane, the Ice Kacang there have more topping (with fruits and other jelly).

Lastly, the last thing my dad ordered is this Char Kuey Teow ("Fried Flat Noodles"). Char Kuey Teow is one of Penang must eat local food. It's a popular noodle dish here in Penang and fried with black soya sauce, bean sprouts, prawn and sometimes squid and duck eggs are added for better taste. One thing I want to tell you that it's very oily due to its fat content. But you come Penang, cannot don't want eat this dish, lor.

Char Kuey Teow at Pulau Tikus Market is better than Lorong Selamat.

Welcome
