Jiat lat! It had been one month since I visited Vintage Bulgaria at Tanjong Bungah for Penang Food Blogger 4th Gathering (15th August). It was a nice experience gathering with floggers. It is time to dig out those photo I took (in dark environment, again) and post them here. Those participated food bloggers seeing the appearance of this post at this time sure laugh until roll out to main road and ramped by lorry.
It was a fasting month for Muslim and I was invited to attend a dinner with my schoolmates in one of the Malay seafood restaurants in Teluk Tempoyak – Restaurant Seri Idaman. We chosen this one as another restaurant was not opened during fasting month. Let’s see how good this restaurant is.
Bali Hai Seafood Market
Some companies do have “buddy system”, in which newcomers will be assigned with a mentor who is usually one of the employees as well. Some companies also provide “buddy meal”, in which both mentor and newcomer are entitled for a meal with limited budget. Low pay and bad attitude workers like me usually don’t have buddy. “Thanks” to one of the meal participants who had other matter to attend, I was replacing him to join the buddy dinner at Bali Hai Seafood Market, Gurney Drive :evilsmile:
Daorae Walkway
Previously I mentioned about a BBQ restaurant in Krystal Point. Today, I bring you to another one which is nearby – Daorae. We went there last month in which we had company’s buddy dinner there. I was one of the newcomers’ mentor so I was entitled for the dinner as well.
Fire
火烛啊~ My last BBQ party was during Chinese New Year, in which I was invited to be a “slave” of BBQ. My duty was to keep the fire burning :sweat: It was tiring but enjoyable. Recently there are few indoor BBQ restaurants opened in Penang and today I bring you to Chou Shun Kan (长春馆) at Krystal Point, Bayan Lepas. It is not a new restaurant, just that I am too busy to blog it (good excuse).
Eastern Wishes
August is here. It will be a special month for me… first is my convocation after failing to graduate from primary school for years, then is my 19 years old birthday :birthday2: Two weeks ago we also celebrated one of my friends birthday at Eastern Wishes at i-Avenue. So I took that opportunity to review the food there.
Sweet and Sour Flower Crab
Penang is well known of its food and you can get most of them in town area. Unfortunately, some of them were commercialized (e.g. RM14 for a plate of Char Koey Teow) or prepared in less healthier side in order to satisfy customer’s taste bud. Can you get a family-pleasing meal in town area? That’s the question I keep on asking myself, until I found this Ivy’s Kitchen.
Gastronomic Kopitiam
What is “fusion cuisine”? Is selling nasi lemak, bak kut teh, and roti canai under the same roof considered “fusion”? According to Wiki, fusion cuisine is combination of traditional cuisine resulted in a new dish which does not fit into any category (and hence “fusion”). So, if you selling bak kut teh which serve with nasi lemak (instead of white rice), and “umm” with roti canai (instead of You Char Kway), then it is fusion (can eat or not still another story). Today I would like to re-introduce Gastronomic Kopitiam, a fusion restaurant.
Pan Mutiara Menu
Last week was a busy week for me… not because of the work, but busy attending events and enjoying food such as buddy/birthday lunch/dinner.
:relief:
Last Friday, we visited Pan Muatiara Curry House at Batu Maung to celebrate one of my friends’ birthday. Judging on the restaurant name you already know you will eat curry there. That was my first visit there so I busy becoming camera man and “register” food.
Durian Fiesta
Those travel around Penang should see (and smell) something special along the road recently, that is, it is durian session (usually from May – August). Normal day, I won’t dare to enjoy it as it will be the WMD in my office. Last Friday, Steven Goh, Criz Lai, FoOd PaRaDiSe, Cariso, and I had a “durian fiesta” at Sungai Batu which is near to Teluk Kumbar, which was invited by the owner’s pretty daughter :love:
