Louis Cafe

    Louis Cafe @ Argyll Road, Penang. 31 July 2009
    My colleagues celebrate my manager and my birthday at Louis Cafe. Before visit to Louis Cafe, I thought that this is a very small size restaurant. Quite surprise that they got a big room at up stair, which can fit around 20 persons and you can having your karaoke session there. During lunch time, they got a set lunch which cost RM 23.90 nett.
    The set lunch included soup of the day, one main course: special chicken chop,old classic fish fillet, grilled hawaiian chicken , black pepper fish and holland chicken , beverage: ice lemon/peach tea and free ice-cream.

Ferringhi Garden Restaurant

Ferringhi Garden Restaurant @ Batu Ferringhi, Penang. 19 July 2009

    As I can see, Ferringhi Garden Restaurant diners, most of them are tourists. So the foods price will be a bit expensive due to the market targets. The environment was great, more closer to natural style. When you walk in to the restaurant, you will feel that you are walking toward to a “gardens”. Two thumbs up for the interior concept.

Roti Bakar Kopitiam

Roti Bakar Kopitiam @ Penang Times Square, Penang. 14 July 2009

    Never visit the Roti Bakar Kopitiam near USM before. This is my first visit to this kopitiam and this is the new branch at Penang Time Square. As decided earlier with my colleagues, we will having lunch there today. Overall the food is tasty and nice. If you already tedious with Old Town Coffee, you can try something new here and which is  more near to home make style.
    Unfortunately, we got a bad experience today. My colleagues ordered the Nasi Lemak Hijau. She told me that the nasi Lemak Hijau is special and nice. While we are waiting our Nasi Lemak Hijau, the manager told us that the Nasi Lemak Hijau was “burn”. So they can’t served us today. So we just ordered other foods. Very bad thing happened !!! During the billing, they still charge us the nasi lemak hijau for around RM 18 ++. When my colleague reach the office, she only found out that the bill was mistake and over charge. So she just rush back to Penang Time Square from Northam Tower. OMG !!! So next time during the billing, must check the bill clearly and carefully, if not you will spent some extra petrol and times for the extra billing.
Honey Chicken Steak Rice

Honey Chicken Steak Rice RM 6.30

    Look special, initially I thought this was a ham. My colleague claimed that this was tasty and nice !!!
EGG On Roti Bakar

EGG On Roti Bakar RM 2.00

Roti Bakar Cheese RM 3.90

    Not bad and recommended.

DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant (Revisit)

DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Bayan Point. 13 June 2009

    Celebrate  father day at Daorae. As expected old peoples cannot accept korean food or japanese food. Their feed  back is so so only. This time I ordered the Kimchi Mari Gooksoo. The cold Kimchi Gookso was awesome. I think not everybody can accepted this, for me it was OK.  First time took a “cold” soup. Something new …. For the side dish, they not give me the vegetables pancake. I miss it so much…..

Smoky Jack Ribs & Steak House

Smoky Jack Ribs & Steak House @ Upper Penang Road ,Penang. 11 June 2009

    We are celebrating one of my colleague birthday, she told us that she prefer to celebrate her birthday lunch here. Overall the gentlemens is quite satisfy with the lunch, some of the ladies claim that it was so so only. For me I will rated it 4/5 star. The environment and interior was excellent. The interior is more toward to natural type. I believed that  the Smoky Jack owner had invested quite a lot of money on the interior, but worth for it . I think…… in term of environment, this is my second favorite…first one still belong to the Sire.  But in term of foods, Smoky Jack are slightly better. Just my opinion…….

Ko Fu Loft

Ko Fu Loft @ Gurney Plaza,Penang. 06 June 2009

    Before watching the movie, we having our dinner at Ko Fu Loft. Since we not sure about what food should we order. So we asked the manager recommended us. He introduced us the Osmanthus Tea and All In one with meat & Vegetable.
Osmanthus Tea

Osmanthus Tea RM 5.90

    Osmanthus Tea is nice, the smell is good. When you drink it you will feel it at your throat. But I am sleepless after having this tea :( .
All In one with meat and Vegi

All In one with meat and Vegetable RM 19.90

    All In one with meat and vegetable, the taste is good but the portion is a bit small. Those meat and vegetables is not so expensive foods, but the amounts is a bit little. May be due to the expensive rental, I think.

DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant

DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Bayan Point. 04 June 2009

    Another Korean Restaurant have arrived to Penang since June 2009. As I knew, Penang island got around 5 to 6 Korean restaurants only. The one at Gurney Sunrise is not bad but the prices a bit expensive. DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant, sound like they are expertise in BBQ. Will try their BBQ next times. This round will try the most basic food first, as I like to said, if basics one also can’t handle it…..others food really not dare to try already.

Canton-i (revisit)

Canton-i @ QBM. 15 May 2009

    I think I addicted to Canton-i already, within five months this is my third visit. This time bring my parents celebrate mother day there. Total bill around RM 67 ++ for three person, kinda expensive. As usual I ordered the 5 “pao” rice. Yummy Yummy. My dad ordered the fried noodle, but I not took any photo shooting while his fried rice have been served due to I am enjoyed my dinner that times…haha. My mom comments the wanton noddle was so so only, then I told her this is the original HK taste. Malaysia style is more oily I think. First time ordered the carrot cake with XO sauces, we all like it so much. A bit spicy but nice. The carrot cake with XO sauces is the most recommended.

    After the super and extreme full lunch at office, just plan to took a more light dinner. Before the movie, we just drop by Sakae Sushi. I just ordered a small plate Assorted Vegetables (Teppanyaki) and Salman Sushi. I love the sakae sushi green tea, the green tea taste is a bit special. During rainy day, it is good to have a good taste and hot green tea. I prefer to have lunch/dinner at sakae sushi gurney plaza new wing, at least the services is better and less crowded during weekdays.
