Little Cottage 2

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

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. ^^

Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice

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.

Ice Cream Bread

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.
