Canton-i @ QBM. 16 January 2009
- When I visit here, it was just opening for around one or two weeks. When I wrote this post, I have visited this restaurant for around three times already. After came back from HK, I found out that this restaurant taste is more near to HK “real taste” and what should the HK food taste should be. 5 “pao” rice which consist of chicken wing,fried pork, tau fu, egg and imported octopus, overall quite worth and nice. The rice taste is a bit differ and don’t know how to describe. You need to go there find out your self. Taste cannot be share. The wanton soup taste is a bit pure and no taste at all, just same as the one I took at HK before. Canton-i really a “truly hong kong”. The wanton was nice and you can found a big prawn inside. Yummy Yummy. The most disappointed is the mango dessert, I can’t feel any mango taste on the mango dessert. OMG, I will not order this for my second times. Will introduce other nice HK foods on my future post.
5 "pao" rice – RM 15

tom yam fried rice
rojak
orange juice
- Just drop by crystal point with my god sister. Suppose want to go old house. But she said that old town is a bit tedious. She want to try something new. So we drop by and try the “new toilet”. Overall the food was just normal but I feel a bit expensive. My god sister claim that the fried rice was just ok. For me the rojak was not bad but very expensive. As I remember is around RM 5 or RM 6. The orange juices is just OK.
- Remarks: My camera send back to Canon for repair, this pictures is took by using my Nokia N73. So the picture quality is just ok only.
Black Canyon Coffee

Black Canyon Coffee @ Jusco,BM . 28 December 2008
- After having a heavy breakfast at raja uda. We just hanging around at Jusco,BM. Around 12 pm ++, just having lunch with my parents. Overall the services and food there was excellent. But seem like the coffee there is just ok only. Their shop name is black canyon coffee, logically they should be expertise in coffee. Unfortunately they really disappointed me. Luckily the food there still can satisfy my parents and me as well. My parents claimed that the Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with seafood in Thick Gravy was nice and the portion is quite big. The Fettuccini with Chicken Green Curry is spicy and nice. I am not able to finished it all, it’s too spicy for me. I need more drinks !!!! Anyway, the green curry is strongly recommended by Tham Chiak….
Cappuccino RM 6.95

Dim Sum @ Raja Uda, Butterworth. 28 December 2008
- Before my sister family leave Penang, just bring them go to raja uda area to have some dim sum. When we reach there, already around 10 am +, seem like the famous tai pau already sold out. Due to my brother in law is rushing go back to KL, we having a very “fast” dim sum breakfast. Overall the food there is excellent. Due to running out of times and we reach there quite late, the famous tai pau and Steam Fish Head with Rice Vermicelli will try it next round, if I got chances to visit this shop again. Compare to Penang island dim sum, seem like this shop dim sum is more variety. Next time, I will try those dim sum that I never try before !!!!

Chayu Kafei @ Jalan Trang. 21 December 2008
peanut
the restaurant view
fried rice toped with tea leaf – RM 6.90
fish meat bee hoon soup – RM 10
Egg Roll – RM 5.90
- Total bill is nearly RM 30. We felt that it is a bit expensive. The worker there is quite weird also, not let us doing any photo shooting. She asked me ‘I from where’, should I told them I from thamchiak.wordpress.com ? But I don’t care, I still proceed with my photo shooting. Actually the environment there is not bad, better than old town a bit but low end than the sire a lot. Penang already get the UNESCO historic city status since last year, some of the old buiding (historical) based restaurant, they should try to attract more oversea visitors. Basically, they should let the diners do the photo shooting, at least…..
- The peanut - not bad and quite tasty (the taste and quality is almost same as Dragon-I)
fried rice toped with tea leaf - according my friend, it is not bad and something special
fish meat bee hoon soup - not bad and quite big bowl but a bit expensive
Egg Roll - very plain and not much of taste……
Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant

Kim Gary Hong Kong Restaurant @ QBM. 05 December 2008
Hot Coke with Ginger & Lemon
猪扒包
toasted bread with honey butter
black pepper rice
- After came back from Hong Kong, really feel that Kim Gary food..the taste is totally different from the “real taste of HK food”. The only restaurant in QBM that really close to the “real taste of HK food” is Canton-i (will introduce this restaurant in the future post). Hot Coke with Ginger & Lemon still my favorite drinks in Kim Gary. The 猪扒包 really totally different from the one I took at Macau before. The bread, the pork and the taste is totally out. As I remember, Macau one don’t have mayonis sauce one. I will rather said that this is a Malaysia Style 猪扒包. The black pepper rice and toasted bread with honey butter is my friend William favorites.
- I reach here around 11:55 am, and I wait for around 30 mins. Due to new opening, this shops is quite crowded. All penang people wish to try the “new toilet”. Shame to said that, I am a typical Penang people also !!!! Overall the services is not bad, even it is new opening…. food delivery waiting time and bill settlement waiting time, all is reasonable. As I can see, most of the senior staff is from Gurney Plaza Kim Gary.

big apple donuts
- After the terrible lunch. Me and my friend go for second round. We just drop by Big Apple Donuts to have our second lunch. From bottom: Hawaii Five-O, Dancing Queen and Duren-Duren. For me the Duren-Duren is extremely excellent. Just feel like I am having a fresh durian. The hawaii five-o is so so only. My friend claimed that the Dancing Queen is just ok only.
Xuan Xin Restaurant

Xuan Xin Restaurant @ Gurney Plaza. 30 November 2008
the menu
港式奶茶
fried rice
Macaroni 通粉
- One word….sucks…in term of services and even food. Waiting somebody to serve us is around 45 mins, and another 30 mins for waiting the food. It is off peak hours during that time, is around 2 p.m. Can’t believe that we need to waiting for so long. The HK style milk tea is just ok for me. My friend claim that the fried rice is no taste at all and same as the 通粉.
