Island Red Cafe @ Crystal Point. 04 January 2009
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
May 10th
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
biscuit

- After reading the article from Guang Ming Daily. I feel like want to taste the so called indonesia coffee. Overall, it was excellent. Next time I will try the home made cake. Luckily I only ordeded the one shot espresso, that night..around 3 am I only can fall sleep. The espresso is too strong, my body cannot comfortable to it yet……..
Chayu Kafei Restaurant Sdn.Bhd.

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
Mar 16th
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.
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.
Soba Yoshi Restaurant(Revisit)

Soba Yoshi @ Krystal Point. 26 November 2008
Octopus set with butter sauce
Grill Salmon with butter sauce
chicken set
- Another last lunch with my ex ex colleague. A bit rush for the short lunch. I ordered the Grill Salmon with butter sauce. Not bad, but really not so sure that it is pure japanese food , it is grill with butter sauce ? My other ex ex colleagues ordered the chicken and octopus set. They claim that it was excellent. I picked my ex ex colleague one piece of the octopus, the taste not bad, but seem like the butter sauce is covering the octopus. So I can’t taste any of the pure octopus taste anymore.

Nando’s @ Gurney Plaza New Wing. 16 November 2008
hot peri peri
- Went to dinner with one of my best friend. Since he also home alone. We just go to new wing to try the so called “new toilet”. Seem like every restaurant also crowded with people. So we just pick nando’s as ours dinner. The manager look nice to us, when I asked her got WIFI or not. She keep explain this and that to me. This is impressed me. This call customer services. Those that always charges the consumers with 5 % services charges. Please learn from this manager. I ordered the hot peri peri set. Seem like just ok if compared to QBM one. May be all the staff is new comer. Need more times to explored.

Old Town White Coffee – AEON Seberang Prai City, BM
Oct 2nd
Old Town White Coffee @ AEON Seberang Prai City, BM. 01 October 2008
Ipoh Chicken Hor Fun – RM 6.80
Ice Fire Polo Bun – RM 3.30
- I reach there around 12 ++, seem like the shop just open. The manager told us need to wait around 10 mins. The manager look friendly, at Penang Island I never see any of the old town branch manager smile with me before. The coffee really “gao” and taste good. We order one Ipoh Chic Hor Fun and Ice Fire Polo Bun. My old tham chiak(parents) told me that, the hor fun,vegi,meat and soup…all is not so fresh. Should be the food still leave extra and keep over the night. They also said that the taste was ok. The Ice Fire Polo Bun just ok only. Just a simple bun with butter. Anyway, the service quite good, especially the manager(male).
