日出茶太 @ QUEENSBAY OUTLET

LG-40, Queensbay Mall, Persiaran Bayan Indah, Bayan Lepas.

Rate: ★★★★

Services: ★★★★

日出茶太品牌成立於2004年初，經過多年來的努力與堅持，成功建立一個橫跨亞、美、大洋洲超過25個國際城市，並且完整佈局兩岸三地的華人第一飲料連鎖集團。

日出茶太料連鎖集團终于来到槟城。个人总觉得品尝奶茶只是个潮流。熱潮能维系多久，就要看他的造化了。最多是二年，二年过后还是快快把連鎖经营卖掉吧。人总是贪新忘旧。優格乳風潮剛剛掀起，现在又来股奶茶潮。这几年只有星巴克咖啡潮维持最久，还是美国风比较强。

Chatime @ QBM

我只是随坡逐流，潮流这东西，老少咸宜。

Pearl Milk Tea

Perilla Plum Green Tea

个人推介日出招牌烤奶冻.浓浓的奶茶味加超有感的Jelly让我回味无穷。值得一提的是，冰和榶的分量依个人喜好。

Rate: ★★★★

Before Tutti Frutti landed at Penang. J.CO Yogurt always is my favorites. I will having it at least once a month. Unfortunately Tutti Frutti have become my favorite Frozen Yogurt (Froyo) now. At least Tutti Frutti having variety of favors, which included Strawberry Field, Tutti Frutti, Pomegranate, Passion Fruit,TF Original, Blue Berrilicious, Death By Chocolate and Vanilla. So far my favorites are Blue Berrilicious and Chocolate, this two favors is recommended and worth to try.

Tutti Frutti QBM

Frankly speaking, J.Co Yogurt is slightly cheaper than Tutti Frutti. J.Co never stingy on their toppings, they will give you as much as they can !!! Trust me. The concept in Tutti Frutti will be how much you can eat and how much you can afforded. One suggestion to Tutti Frutti, may be we should weight the Yogurt without the toppings. What do you think ? Just a regular customer feedback.

For those new to Frutti Tutti, there are some steps before you can enjoyed your yogurt.

Step 1 get cup size

Step 2 choose favorite

Step 3 add toppings

Step 4 weight and pay

Step 5 Enjoyed your Yogurt

Berlin’s Bier Houz @ Straits Quay Penang

Berlin’s Bier Houz @ Straits Quay Penang

Rate: ★★★★★
Services: ★★★★★

When you mention about German Cuisine, you will think of Pork/Sausage. Pork being the most popular meat in German among beef and poultry. Beer is a significant of German as well.

At Penang, there are few German Restaurants, which included: Ingolf Kneipe German Restaurant and Bar , Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar Straits Quay and Berlin’s Bier Houz Straits Quay.

If you wish to visits Berlin’s Bier Houz on weekends or Friday night, I will rather suggest you call them and make a booking. The restaurant normally will crowded with diners during Friday night and weekends.

Berlin’s Bier Houz @ Straits Quay

German Pork Knuckle

German Sausage Platter

German Pork Knuckle is a must try item when you visited the German Restaurant. German Pork Knuckle @ Berlin’s is not disappointed me at all. It cost us around RM 25.00 for 1/2 portion. The pork skin is crispy and tasty. If you not expert in separate out the meat and bone, you can instruct the chef do it for you and make your life easier. German Pork Knuckle served with Sauerkraut, which is sour herb or sour cabbage. The sauce just taste OK for us.

The German Sausage Platter which cost around RM 25.80,is a bit expensive. The German Sausage Platter served with Sauerkraut as well. The German Sausage taste is a bit salty. If you cannot accept salty food, you better don’t order this. This is my personal advices.

Hotdog

Pork Burger with Cheese

Seafood Platter

Overall we are quite satisfy with the food and quite enjoyed the dinner. Total bill cost us around RM 141.50 for 4 person. The friendly services in Berlin’s Bier Houz is a extra credits. For sure I will come back again.

Schweinshaxe (German pronunciation: [ˈʃvaɪns.haksə]), in German cuisine, is a roasted ham hock (or “pork knuckle”),[1] especially popular in Bavaria.[2] The Austrian version of this dish, called Stelze is usually marinated or pre-boiled in a caraway seed and garlic brine, roasted until the skin is crisp, and served with mustard, horseradish, and pickled chilies.

A sausage is a food made from ground meat and often salt, herbs, and spices. The word sausage is derived from Old French saussiche, from the Latin word salsus, meaning salted.[1]
Typically, the sausage is formed in a casing traditionally made from intestine, but sometimes synthetic. Some sausages are cooked during processing and the casing may be removed afterwards.
Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Sausages may be preserved by curing, drying, or smoking.

Sauerkraut (pronounced /ˈsaʊərkraʊt/ in English; German pronunciation: [ˈzaʊ.ɐkʁaʊt] ( listen), Yiddish pronunciation: [ˈzɔi̯.əʀkʀɔi̯t]), directly translated from German: “sour herb” or “sour cabbage”, is finely shredded cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria, including Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus.[1][2] It has a long shelf-life and a distinctive sour flavor, both of which result from the lactic acid that forms when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage. It is therefore not to be confused with coleslaw, which receives its acidic taste from vinegar.

Apex Coffee @ Bayan Lepas, Penang. 03 October 2009

Vanilla Milk Shake

spaghetti

Hawaiian Pizza

Today:25 May 2010,while I composing this post. Seem like quite long times not visit Apex Coffee. I will rather said Apex Coffee got a quiet and enjoyable environment with a affordable prices. In term of food, I will rate it as standard. During night session, this restaurant is a bit quiet and not much of diners. Ours favorite was Vanilla Milk Shake, must have when we @ Apex Coffee. You should find out yourself how nice was it !!!

My ex colleague strongly recommended the Pizza, never try it until today. We ordered the Hawaiian Pizza, not bad. Definitely better than the pizza that you having @ Pizza Hut. I got quite many of years never visit Pizza Hut. If you asked me took Pizza Hut, I rather having Gardenia’s bread @ home. Apex Coffee pizza was my cup of tea, the bread is not so thick and with a good taste.

Only able to online during weekend and quite many of thing to tight of during weekend. Hope I got more times to update my blog, is times to pick up. I still eat/chiak a lot, but never update it.

Rapid Penang from Airport to Hard Rock Penang

From March 15th onwards, RapidPenang 102 will bring you DIRECT from Penang Intl Airport to Batu Ferringhi! No more stopping at the jetty….. RapidPenang Rocks!

New hotel is coming to town. All the while I only feel that ghotel interior was not bad. After hard rock hotel opening, definitely hard rock hotel will be number two on my list. After a week of opening, I have date my friend go there to have a drinks. Once you enter to the lobby of the hotel, you will see a lighting crystal. This is not easy to maintain and the effects was great.

Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights

Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights @ Abu Siti Lane, Penang. 03 September 2009

This is one of the favorite choices during lunch time. We(me and my colleagues) will visit here for around one or twice per month. Three thing I don’t like about this place: very limited parking, the white curry owner only look friendly during the TV interview and the foods was kinda expensive with a small portion.

white curry mee

During the ho chiak TV8 program interview, the owner told the host that his soup is make by soya bean. No wonder the soup was so clean and white. Most of my friends like to put the chili to the soup as much as possible. Since most of them are chili lover. I am so so with chili only !!! You can take the chili as much as possible and the chili cost was included in the RM 4 big bowl curry mee !!!! Please fully utilize it for those who can take chili as much as possible……

Hainanese Chicken Rice

The hainanese chicken rice was nice but the small bowl really super small portion. When you bike the chicken, you will found out the the chicken meat was quite smooth because the chicken are quite oily. Taste nice but you will wondering how high is the cholesterol.

Lately I found out that quite number of hawkers. They have increase their selling prices from around RM 0.5 to RM 1. While the inflation is keep increasing but our salary was still the same. Cost of living is a bit too high now. I think the DAP state government should do something on this issues.

Goh Huat Seng Restaurant @ Kimberly Street, Penang. 28 August 2009

I having sore throat for quite sometimes. Before go to movie “The Murderer”, need to having something which is more “light” but end up we having steamboat together and we hope that the hot soup will kill the virus. . Overall quite satisfy with the fish head soup which lighted up with the charcoal. The waiting times to been served will be a bit longer since this is a traditional steamboat using charcoal. Need more times for the soup to be “ready”.

dished 2

I visit here with my another friend, so the minimum order will be RM 40 for two person. Since we are quite old already and we can’t eat much. The portion was just enough for two person. Compare to those RM 18 ++ buffet style, the fish soup are more tasty and specials. Strongly recommended for those steamboat lover that can’t eat much.

Tao Cuisine Japanese Buffet @ E-Gate, Penang. 22 August 2009

A very late celebration for my birthday with my best friends. Actually in term of environment,services and quality of foods. We still prefer the one at Juru Auto City. This times, they disappointed us again !!! My friend had call them and make the booking around few weeks early. When we reach there, the manager try to tell us that she can’t find the booking records. After five minutes, she told us that they make a mistake on the booking date. They said the booking date should be next week, my friend very sure that she is keep repeat the booking date with the reception. How can this happened. So I need to having my dinner outside the restaurant and some more it was rainy. What a romantic birthday celebration. Actually I very unhappy with it !!!!
