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...

Crystal Jade La Mian at Garden

During my last trip to KL, it was more of an eating trip than anything else. I know i know...coming from Penang the so-called Malaysia Food Haven and I flew all the way to kl to eat??? Anyway, we were mainly enjoying all the franchise store food that is not available in Penang :P

Like Crystal Jade for instance

Sakae Sushi's Member Day!

Last week (20th-22nd September 2010) was Sakae's member day. Actually we just signed up to become a Sakae Sushi member around 2 weeks before that mainly because of the Sakae member day :D The promo tagline for the member day is really attractive...it says 100% rebate on red plate sushi!

Sakae blossom

Clinic Cafe @ Gurney Plaza

One weekend while strolling around inside Gurney Plaza, i saw a red shop that says Clinic...eh? I thought to myself how come there's such a big clinic inside gurney and some more with so many people sitting inside. When i walked nearer i saw the word "cafe" after clinic. It's a Clinic Cafe! LOL

Yu Choo @ D'piazza

Went to D'Piazza for dinner recently and saw this newly opened shop : Yu Choo Box Meal Delivery Expert. Phew! That's a mouthful :P

Tek Sen Restaurant @ Lebuh Carnarvon

Last week. I went with my colleagues to Tek Sen Restaurant @ Carnarvon Street for a birthday celebration of sorts for me and another colleague of mine.

Trip Back to Kuching Part 1

Just made a 5 days trip back to Kuching during the national day holiday and the trip coincided with my birthday during the weekend ..muahaha...

Our not-very-chinese 15 Meh Dinner

When it comes to occasions like chap goh meh, it doesnt feel very festive when you are away from home. So just "yi su,yi su" and have a dinner that is a little more special that we normally have la :D Went to Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant. It was supposed to be some sort of a belated valentine's day dinner since this year's valentine's day coincided with day 1 of cny...rugi la this year!

But both of us really like daorae, this is my 4th time there since its opening in may/june last year. good food and good service...have not disappoint us thus far :)



really love this spicy soup...appetizing

and of course, with every korean restaurants...so many side dishes are being served. and the best thing? you can ask for a free refill anytime!



i really dont know what's so nice about kimchi. we never touch the kimchi. i know some people really really like kimchi up to a point where they even bought back some to savor at home =_="
it tastes like spicy, wilted cabbage to me...wahahaha

each table will have this special duct like thingy that is supposed to suck out any smoke from the bbq



this is one side dish we have not seen before...it doesnt taste like sotong. till now, we still dont know what it is..it better not be boiled lizard's tail


our marbled beef slice


and a complimentary egg pancake. it looks pretty mediocre, but i really like it! it has the right percentage of crunchiness and fluffiiness an egg pancake should have :)



there...our beef is ready...


i was quite disappointed with it cos it was a little on the chewy side :(

and our must have...ginseng pork belly



verdict?? two thumbs up for the 3rd time round! :)



look at the fatty 3 layer...*drools*

and to fill in the blanks, we had chicken in sweet soya sauce


simple and delicious!

total dinner amounted to around rm124.20 (inclusive of free flow drinks + free flow side dishes + 10% service tax). Price of the bbq was between the range of rm25-rm45 per set.

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

Imperial Duck

One day, at Imperial Duck (same row as Lok Thian)...
this guy came out with the very very long spouted teapot to pour tea for us

Sorry for the blur pic...but u get the idea :D
It seems that hes some sort of an invited guest from China to err..'perform' for the guests. But i dont get what is so special about pouring tea out of a long-spouted teapot *shrugs*

The signature dish...the imperial duck rice

This is the combination rice

And my imperial duck noodles

I love the noodles...

The first time i tried out the imperial duck, it was soooo good...but after that, i dont really think highly of it anymore..

p/s shopping blog updated! :)

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!
