Gong Xi Fa Cai :gongxi: Years had passed and some blogs had gone. I am glad that Noweating is still here to update you on food around, regardless good or bad, rain or shine, bright or dark.
Food @ First Glance
Soul Kitchen
Soul Kitchen… there are many reviews around so I won’t be “long gas” this time. Some said that the food and atmosphere were excellent, while some said it was too expensive. One of my friends is now a job agent. One night, I, the cheap labor felt hopelessly and asked her out for consultation on my career so she drove me to Soul Kitchen for the talk.
Lam Hooi Cafe 南园茶餐室
Ahh~ Chinese spinach in superior stock 上汤芫菜 (RM6.00), a dish in which you can only find it in above-average Chinese restaurant, and I found it in Lam Hooi Cafe 南园茶餐室 beside New World Park at Burma Road, Penang. It topped with preserved egg and anchovy.
Fishing Village Restaurant 渔村海鲜
It was one evening in which a good samaritan fetched his colleagues living in Batu Ferringgi back from Bayan Lepas to their home. Deciding where to eat, we eventually went to Teluk Bahang for seafood. There were few seafood restaurants there but the one we went was Fishing Village 渔村海鲜. It had been years since I had my dinner there.
Kemunting Lake View Restaurant
More well known of mainland’s freshwater fish restaurant, Kemunting Lake View Restaurant was located in Kulim, Kedah. I had my lunch with my colleagues last month in this restaurant. He recommended this place as it had less flies (compared to another restaurant nearby) and the fishes had no earthy taste even they were caught from lake below.
Weissbrau @ Straits Quay
:gongxi: Happy new year! If you ask me how I celebrate my new year? Basically just had BBQ at friend’s house, drink some red wines, went back hometown, and became camera man for my friend’s ROM. Last month, it was a bit special as Straits Quay, a new high class shopping cum apartment complex, just opened in Tanjung Tokong, Penang.
Best Pork Leg in Butterworth
Whoa~ tu kar~ The soy sauce was just perfect… not too salty… not too oily… The whole pork leg was cooked til tender and you still can see the steam above the shinny skin. That was another crazy afternoon in which we travel all the way from Bayan Baru to Butterworth just to have our lunch.
Mount Erskine Hainan Western 白云山西餐
Sometimes in the evening I went for hiking at Youth Park. Driving all the way up to Youth Park took some times so I might as well enjoy my dinner somewhere around there. One of the stalls I tried was Mount Erskine’s Hainan Western Food 白云山西餐, a.k.a temple western food.
Hai Pin Restaurant 海滨海鲜酒家
Back in one of the raining July afternoon, colleagues and I went to Hai Pin Restaurant 海滨海鲜酒家 in Lebuh Macallum 五条路 for lunch. What so special about this restaurant is there are set meals in which you can choose certain number of dishes and the price is based on headcount, each for RM9. For example, eight of us only need to pay for RM9 x 8 = RM72 for the meal, with unlimited rice and Chinese tea. Is it worth the price? Let’s see.
Batu Maung Seafood at New Location
Woof woof (Welcome)! What a cute “sausage” dog I found in OCEAN Batu Maung Seafood Restaurant. Somehow he scared away when I “snap snap” him. I was looking for a seafood restaurant I never visited before when a friend of mine asked me for dinner. Googled around and found my friends, FoOdPaRaDiSe (here, here, and here) and CK (here) recommended this restaurant so we decided to pay it a visit.
