Winter Warmers at QBM

I've walked past Winter Warmers at Gurney Plaza many times throughout my 2 years in Penang but I've never tried it. Once, we almost went in but the menu looks very "snack-like" with light meals like sandwiches and salads so being the greedy pigs that we are, we did not try it.lol

But 1 or 2 months back, Winter Warmers opened its door at Queensbay Mall! Now that's a different story...

Lunch at OXO

Approximately a month ago, my department and I went out for our monthly birthday celebration lunch again :P I can't believe it took me this long to finally sit down and blog about it! oh well....better late than never! 

Read on for more food pics!

JL Gourmet @ Prangin Mall

When you talk about JL Gourmet, you think about the mushroom soup. The mushroom soup is really superb!
I can never get tired eating the JL Gourmet mushroom soup :D

Farewell Lunch at Mr Ho

Just got back from Singapore...my bag's still unpacked from the trip and now i have to do my big packing for my move to Penang this sat... arghh...

there are loads of outdated photos on my computer n camera so i just had to post some stuff before they all get forgotten...

Some of my colleagues gave me a farewell lunch at Mr Ho's fine dining on easter sunday...i think the place would be nice to take nice photos in natural lighting so i brought my dslr there on that day, which is quite a rare occurence for me :P

they are having set lunch menu with an entree,main dish and dessert for only RM15.90!

here comes the salad...

and we had extra orders of mussels...

this is the fried rice with roast pork and fried egg on top from menu 1

looks like your simple average joe dish but at the end it proved to be better than our oglio olio with roast pork from menu 2 :(

here it is...

i find it a little on the bland side...i would prefer their pesto spaghetti

we also ordered the small sampler plate which didnt prove to be small at all!

a combination of roast chicken, roast pork,sausages,pork ribs...

and of cos came the dessert at the end...love the bread pudding =)

made me search for bread pudding recipes on thet net :P

Silhouette at The Spring

Silhouette opened its doors in The Spring shopping mall few months ago if im not mistaken but not many people i know have tried it out. Some of my friends dont even know about the existence of this restaurant.

I blame it on the location of the restaurant, cos it is quite hidden. The entrance is located outside of the mall....

We've walked past the place a few times but we never went in cos the place looks very expensive and posh...so we thought it must be a very 'atas' place lah...

The interior is very stylishly designed and there shelves upon shelves of wine for you to order from there...

One thing i do not really like about the place is, the dining area is adjoined to another area which smells and sounds to me like a pub...hahaha...i did not go n peep into that area but i can hear loud music and smoke...so i assume it to be some sorta pub place 'x'

i must say the food there is not REALLY REALLY expensive....for instance this bolognese is around RM20++

I dont know the price bcos this wasnt ours 'x'

We ordered fettucini carbonara and they brough this to our table, he told me isnt carbonara supposed to be the creamy white sauce? i said yes...but proceed on to take a photo of it anyway! wahahaha...after a while, the waitress realized her mistake and took it away from us...

ahhh...this is ours...

priced at RM21...i think its a passable carbonara with creamy enough sauce but someone said the cream is not enough :P

and we ordered the thin crust pizza with seafood toppings...(RM26)

I personally didnt like this very much cos its too 'seafood-y'...lol

but its ok ... but i still like Bella Italia's thin crust pizza...mama mia!
