Back in March 2013, we visited E&O Hotel in George Town, Penang for its seafood buffet previously known as Chef Petr’s Catch Extravaganza. After 1.5 years, we revisited this Wednesday buffet again at Sarkies of E&O Hotel with new naming – Seafood Extravaganza.
Our first visit to Coya Healthy Cuisine at Lorong Selamat was back in January 2014 and were pleased with their healthy cuisine promising three things: 1) Freshly prepared food, 2) No gluten vegetarian product, 3) No added MSG and preservative. Recently, they released a new menu and we revisited it again.
Pattaya City Culinary Cup 2014 is Thailand’s largest International Culinary Competition. Eastin Hotel Penang crews managed to win away a gold medal for this challenge which held from 13 to 17 August 2014.
Red Hott (formerly Red Hot) at The One (opposite of Mayang Mall/D’Piazza), Bayan Baru, Penang is the only hot dog specialist in Penang and perhaps in Malaysia as well. Our first visit was back in April 2013.
Each year, Sakae Sushi – the famous Singapore Japanese chain restaurant, will have its menu revised based on customer’s feedback and choices. This year is no exception. The new menu features over 50 delicious new additions spanning across numerous categories.
DCOVA recently launched its new menu. For us, everything is new as this is our first visit to the cafe. We seldom travel down to George Town for a cup of coffee as some of them have their coffee bean outsourced, making it lack of uniqueness. However, DCOVA has proven that having a cup of coffee can be both unique and authentic.
Jalan Kampong Malabar 日本新街 is more happening now due to opening of some new restaurants. One of them, however, is not new and already been there for decades. Hon Kei Food Corner 汉记小食店 previously was a stall in Ho Ping Coffee Shop at the junction of Penang Road and Jalan Kampong Malabar selling famous Bak Moi (Pork Porridge). Recently, it moved to its own premise few shops away.
Pan Palace Plaza is a commercial mall located in Taman Lip Sin near Super Tanker Food Court. For years, the plaza is deserted with only two main tenants – Sunshine and Red Tea Garden Dim Sum. The restaurant in this article used to be a Wantan noodle restaurant. Before we managed to write about it, it changed to another noodle restaurant selling fish noodle/porridge, namely Te Wei Noodle Restaurant 特味面食馆.
As mentioned in my previous post, Jook-Sing noodle 竹升面 is a type of egg noodle similar to Wantan noodle but is produced using bamboo instead of machine. Today, we introduce you a new noodle house selling purely Jook-Sing noodles – Shinny Noodle House 西关竹园面家.
The restaurant which we are going to share with you today is a bit special. Not only it is new, it is also “old” at the same time. The restaurant is nothing more than the Gou Lou (Hong Kee) Coffee Shop 高佬 (鸿记) 茶餐室 at Jalan Kampong Malabar (日本新街), George Town, Penang, Malaysia.
