Station IV: Nyonya Baba Cuisine

Date: 251209

Time: Lunch

Location: Nagore Place, Penang

For whoever watch "Little Nyonya", you must know the "Long Table" that they ate in the drama, here is the supplier, who prepare the "Long Table/T'ng Tok" for them.

It was run by a nyonya family, guess who is the chef, is a granny who aged approximately 60+,we ordered a few dishes and here we go to have a look

Is 3 dishes and 1 soup, the 1st dish is the Sambal Udang:

The sambal is totally different from what we had in the regular restaurant, is specially made by them with their own recipe, it contains several spices and I can taste some natural sweetness as a result of the spice combination, it is just nice and taste great.

The soy sauce pork is the typical home cooked dishes, is so yummy and makes me thought of my granny too, is just a simple home made sauce fried with pork slices, delicious and great taste...YUMMY

 

Sambal fried with Kangkung, again, an ordinary 1, but due to the special made sambal, it taste slightly different from the normal restaurant

Boiled soup as usual like in our own house, this soup is using pepper, chicken, Bai Guo and Du Dor to boil the pepper taste will killed all the yuckie smell came out from the DD therefore, the taste will be PERFECT...

There is still a lot of Nyonya dishes that we haven't try, for this restaurant, there will be still consequences visit in order to try out all the dishes...Credits for them...

Cool restaurant

Station III: Obake-Ya

Date: 231209
Time: Lunch Time
Location: Obake-Ya, Near to upper Penang Road

Been heard a lot about this restaurant, a JAILED concept restaurant where all the interior design was based on the JAILED concept. People tends to feels like in jail once they comes into the restaurant, they have different crime for every lock-up space.

and what we did is TRADING POPULATION CRIMES, here is the table for SIX of us...

The design was nice, layout atmosphere was great, the thing is the food will not attract us for second visits.

The Beef Garlic Rice, only the rice is nice, beef is over cooked, tea doesn't taste like green tea and the biscuit was too soft to be chew, the whole thing is under quality except the garlic rice as for me, it is still acceptable...

So called Japanese Curry Mashed Potatoes, goodness, that was so weird as it appeared in tempura style where the taste was totally unmatched. The curry sauce inside was slight spicy and lack of sweetness, unlike the usual Japanese Curry that we used to have, where the sauce on top is somehow like Terriyaki sauce that taste salty and sweet, when all the tastes comes in one shot, it somehow mess us up.

For those who loves chicken skin, I strongly discourage you, do not order these 2 dishes, Grill Chicken Skin and Fried Chicken Skin, the grill chicken skin, totally tasteless, where the taste is somehow like burnt, it is chewy, but doesn't feel nice at all... Deep Fried Chicken Skin, is full of OIL... compared to those hawker's, this is just a failure, the hawkers' chicken skin is much more tasty and OIL-LESS... it would be more price worthy...

It is worth to visit at least once for the atmosphere and layout, you may just order some snack or drinks but not something that suppose to make you full. After all, you will definitely tell yourself, "No Next Time" for this restaurant, enjoy!

Station II: Famous Western Food @ Penang Island

Date: 221209
Time: Dinner Time
Location: Somewhere near to Jalan Mount Eskrin

This is a very famous Western Food for quite some time as the price is very affordable and the food is nice, for us, this is the most common place if you wanted to eat some affordable western food...

Nothing much to be intro but 1 thing I found interesting is, I found a new food added on the menu which is "NAKED Chicken"...

Could you imagine a chicken which is naked, how does it look like or how does it taste? I placed an order due to the curiosity....

This is how the chicken comes naked... when is skinless with a lot of onion and chili, smell nice, taste nice...

Both onion and chili gave you the feeling of spicy and by mixing these 2 with some sort of Thai sauce I guess, it has a double taste which happen to be perfect when they all met in the mouth. It taste so nice when the chicken was light grilled and was covered by the special sauce that they have...

This replaced the ordinary chicken chop and all other western style chicken I've eaten before, that was great, really delicious...=)

YUMMY~,~

Station I: BBQ Chicken @ Gurney Plaza (Old Wing)

Date: 221209
Time: 1330
Location: BBQ Chicken, Gurney Plaza (Old Wing, Same row with Starbucks)

Here is the condition, I went into this shop upon my uncle request, when he saw the information online, he was wondering how is this restaurant perform, I went in together with my Mom, Aunt, 2 little cousins and my bro during lunch time.

It was quite "Empty" as in no crowds, make it positively, we do not need to wait for our foods to be served. Less customers in the restaurant, therefore, less employees in the shop, there is only a supervisor and 2 staff in the front line, where I had no idea about the kitchen, but what I saw is one of the front line employee (crew) was taking care of the drinks & desert department as well... In fact only the supervisor and the other staff is mean to serve customers and take down the food orders.

When we stepped into the restaurant, no one comes and serve us or lead us to any table, we are free to sit at anywhere we want, we can even separate table by combining the bill I suppose. That's fine.

We went to the sofa seat but due to insufficient seat available on sofa attached seat, we HAVE to move ourself to the other table that we could fit ourself there without any assistance, that's really FINE for us, but we did not realize whether we distracted other customer who are dining there as the 2 little children with us used to be hyperactive and run all over the place.

We sat down for three minutes I suppose, the supervisor ONLY came to us and gave us the menu and without any greetings or recommendation or any interaction with us. We ordered the food, and the funniest thing is, through out the whole order taking process, he never realized we are having insufficient cutleries on the table as there are six of us with 4 set of cutleries. (Or maybe they suppose children did not need any cutleries when they eat) Until we ask for it, they delivered it by just putting it at the other side that is near to them, thus we have to pass it to my Mom and my Bro who sat at the other side...

Fine, foods are served... Jerk BBQ, Korean Charbroiled, 2 set of Happy Chic...

The differences between "Jerk" and "Charbroiled" is just the matters of Spicy or not, taste is about the same where my aunt complains that the sweet corn in Happy Chic is the frozen corn which does not taste nice at all...

Basically, we should not expect much from this kind of fast food restaurant, so called fast food which does not serve meals fast even there is NO crowd at all!

Thanks to the suggestion, NICE TRY though, but even LOYALTY Card given, there will be NO next time visit if it could be avoided.

For the Coffee & Liquor Lovers...

Irish coffee = Coffee + Irish Whiskey + Heavy Cream +

Nice equation huh?

This has been a question for me...

Been looking for this drink for a while...

found it at BED Lounge @ Penang

Is a must TRY drink if you loves both COFFEE & LIQUOR

For the 1st sip...

it would be just a little bitter...

The following would be a stronger whiskey taste...

Strong yet smell nice...

You'll found some cream on your lips

It makes you feels complicated...

yet EXCITED...!!

...Irish Coffee...
