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.

soup of the day

The mushroom soup was not bad, but the Smoky Jack Ribs and Steak House mushroom soup….still my favorite. But I love the bread on top, which is quite crispy.

Fettuccine Cabonara

I had the Fettuccine Cabonara. Quite oily and creamy.

holland chicken

The Vegetarian Cutlet

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.

pepper chicken

cheese nacho

The cheese nachos taste seem like weird. The cheese was too oily. Still prefer the nachos from Chili’s Grill & Bar.

In terms of foods, we are quite disappointed with it. The food was just average and the prices was kinda expensive !!!!

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…….

Smocky Jack

the interior – nice environment for dating

the interior- natural feel

the butters

Three different type of butters and different taste as well, but none of us can distinguish what it is actually. It was butters for sure….

The starter for the set lunch – the bread

Normal bread with the special type of butters, what a nice taste !!!

mushroom soup

The mushroom soup was the best, quite creamy and tasty. After having the creamy mushroom soup, we all feel that our stomach already full of foods. OMG !!!

salad

grilled chicken lasagne

I only can make a short review on this. The others food was ordered by my colleagues. So I can’t give any comments. Seem like the grilled chicken lasagne is just OK only. May be due to lunch times, and it was peak season during that times. The quality control is out of control.

Beef Ribs

foods – forgot about the name …

Sea food baked rice

desserts

The RM 20 ++ set lunch come with a desserts as well. They served us a small pieces of cakes and fruits. Full …full …. full..I heard my colleague / friends told me that, during dinner session, the food portion was bigger and of course the price will be more interesting. But I think with this type of environment, worth for it.
