Ah~ Smoked Duck Breast (RM21.90) cooked to perfectly pink and juicy on a pile of mashed potato and vegetable salad. Smoked duck breast is our favorite but is usually only appeared in buffet spreads or semi fine dining restaurant. Fortunately, we found it at Mayonize Western Corner, Raja Uda, Penang.

Uncle Lim’s Recipe
This Uncle Lim is not the Uncle Lim in Komtar, but at One Precinct, Bayan Baru. Seriously, we had been here more than 20 times since it first opened in year 2015. Let’s see what’s so special about this restaurant…
Mellowcup Cafe
Ethiopia Sidamo Hunkute coffee with notes of plum, floral, fig jam, and blueberry carefully hand dripped by barista. Sidamo is an exclusive Arabica coffee from Ethiopia (an Africa country) and this is just one of the handcraft coffees by Mellowcup Cafe.
International Beer Day @ Four Points by Sheraton Penang
One month had passed and we still missed The Black Spot – a coffee stout created by The Best Brew, Four Points by Sheraton Penang. It tasted just like coffee even a teetotaler can easily fall in love with it.
Arabica Estate Cafe @ Karpal Singh Drive
Baller Koffeez (RM15) – Arabica Estate Cafe‘s signature coffee with double shot of espresso, an ice ball better known as Whiskey ball, and home recipe creamer. If you happen to catch Pokemon at Karpal Singh Drive, Penang, be sure to visit the premise for a glass of it to recharge yourself.
Tree Bar 2016 New Menu
Time flies and it has been two years since we first reviewed Tree Bar at G Hotel Gurney al fresco. Recently, we re-visited it again for its new menu.
Sushi YA 寿司屋@ Raja Uda
Last year, we could still enjoy a plate of Kappa Maki (Cucumber Roll) at the price of RM2.00 at Japanese chain restaurants. Thanks to currency depreciation, it is now a history. Either the same color plate had increased price, or the Maki was “promoted” to the ext color. Sushi YA appears to be our pocket saver.
Jiapapa Hometown Delight 呷饱饱
Craving for Laksa one afternoon, we were told by our friend that there was a new restaurant in Taman Lip Sin offering the local delicacy along with other dishes during lunch hour. Without further ado, we visited it on the same day as well.
Shen Food & Beverages 陞卤味专卖店
Shen Food & Beverages 陞陞卤味专卖店 is a new food outlet opened on 9-Sep-2016 at i-Avenue, Bayan Lepas, Penang. We stumbled upon this new shop offering braised delicacy when we were planning to visit Grand Yong Tofu on the same shop lot (Yes, it was closed and replaced with Shen).
Thibaut Pouplard Debuts as Chef de Cuisine at Feringgi Grill
Grilled Lamb Cutlets topped with eggplant caviar, dressed with garlic cream and sesame sauce. So soft and pleasing that it melts in your mouth. This is probably the best lamb we’ve ever tried and you can grab it at Feringgi Grill in Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & SPA in Penang.
