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

High Tea Buffet at Eastin Penang

The bf's birthday fell on the exact same day as father's day this year, so i decided to treat him (and myself) to a high-tea buffet. But then, the only buffet available is for father's day....so yeah, i brought my BF to a FATHER's day buffet. anyway it was RM60++ per pax

i didnt think there were too many selections of food at first glance and i still stand by that today...the thing that caught my attention first was the desserts bar...

Jenxdan Lifestyle Cafe

Went to Jenxdan Lifestyle Cafe with my department last week. It was a pretty eventful lunch cos it was a birthday celebration cum farewell lunch for 2 of my now ex-colleagues. LOL!

Anyhoo, Jenxdan is actually a "meatless" cafe. All the meat-like things you see in the following pictures are actually.............not meat.

I had the shitake pasta. I expected a creamy sauced pasta with shitake mushrooms all over but instead i got this...

Where has the shitake gone to??? I can only assume that the shitake went into the meat-like meatballs thingy.It's fettucini tossed in what tasted like sesame oil (and no garlic cos vegatarians can't eat garlic).

Someone ordered these vegetarian sushi

It's actually rice vermicelli in it instead of sushi rice and it came with some soy sauce and wasabi. How did it taste like?? Sad to say, i didnt get a chance to eat it! What the hell?? By the time i finished taking photos, there were only a few left and there were still so many people who were so eager to try it. Oh well, when it comes to food i'm always very giving *ahem*

Actually this is the appetizer, but i'm too lazy to move this photo up. hah!

This is organic and vegetarian pumpkin soup...

Something tasted pretty different here. I believe they did not use cream, because it lack the richness.

This is the spinach pasta...

Not mine, no comments...

Spaghetti Bolognese...

And vietnamese spring rolls...

Fml! I believe i did not get to try this either!

And lastly, lavendar cheese cake

verdict? i thought it tasted weird! Lavender is supposed to be in my shower gel and not in my cheesecake. oh well...

after the lunch, i asked my non-vegetarian colleagues whether they will go back to that place and they were all silent...so.................................................. lol. but it was pretty interesting tho, when i heard of vegetarian western cafe i was looking forward to order the vegetarian burger cos i once had a very delicious vegetarian burger. but alas, there was not a single burger in the menu.

here's the address :

Chicago Rib House @ Gurney Plaza

Went to Chicago Rib House @ Gurney Walk (the open air area next to Gurney Plaza) on a whim few weeks ago. And it was the best whim ever! lol...i told someone about this new rib place that just opened after reading this post and so we decided to try it out!

let's see here, we wanted to order the beef ribs (RM45.90) but they were out of beef ribs the other day =_= so we ordered the pork ribs instead. You could actually choose 2 side dishes with the order of the main ribs which includes beef ribs/pork ribs itself! so meaning if you wanna try both types of ribs, you could order one as the mains and have the other type as the side.

we ordered baked potato in jacket and broccoli as our sides cos we were sharing and i was on a no-carbo diet the other day T_T



the ribs were marinaded perfectly with a tinge of sweetness in every bite and the most wonderful thing is, the meat just falls off from the bones upon a poke of the fork!!! SUPERB!!! typing about it now makes me salivate!

another close up look at the super nice ribs! :D


me loves the potato in jacket too altho i only get to taste a few bites =x



a nice place which i will pester someone to bring me again in the future! =)

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
