Penang- Freezer Natural Scene

When i opened my freezer cover =.= 1st word coming out from my lips was "wtf". Obviously, i do not know what does it looks like, just feels quite annoying blocking the freezer entrance :p up for your imagination since it just happened naturally in my freezer.

Penang- Putu Mayam

Last night, my dinner was a packet of mix rice, self boiled 2 eggs, 1 apple and 1 packet of putu mayam. My food feast started at 8.30pm until 12.00am. It has been a long time i have not been eating in such a big portion, no longer that young already. I roughly remember my last time having putu mayam was around 6-8 years ago. Missing it deeply!

Superb fresh on the spot made putu mayam + coconut shreds + grinded dark sugar

RM1.20 for 2 pieces of Putu piring, i thgouth it will be very thin for a piece (KL size), never know in penang it was so thick, accidentally i bought 4 pieces. It was so cheap, RM 2.40 only!

smooth grinded tiny dark sugar + fresh coconut shreds

Putu piring + grinded tiny dark sugar + fresh coconut shreds = AWESOMENESS!

Location: Chai Leng area, an indian mobile hawker

Taiwan Fillet set (fillet + crab meat + chicken floss + salted vege).

Crispy fried fish steak + rice set.

Crispy chicken steak + rice set.

More on 600cc will be updated again during my future visits. It is worth trying at this shop since the dishes that are being served there are consider to be of a balance meal.

*thanks to BH for the grammars and vocab correction :)

Penang- Fruitful Breakfast

It was a weekday morning, i was having breakfast with my colleagues at Lean Gaik shop again. After ordering our food, suddenly a man came by selling currypuff. Why he came AFTER i made my order! The puffs were extremely tempting, my lips immediately turn dry and i kept sticking my tongue out licking it, drooling after seeing it. OK FINE! "Tauke, give me two puffs"

There you go~ my dearly sweetie sweetie "temptation puffs". They were still warm and fresh. The crispiness can be easily detected by sight.

NGaumm, yummy! The filling has potato, spices, egg. Worth for the money i paid, it only cost RM 1.50 each!

Here came our breakfast set. What do you call this, i think is American breakfast.

Next was bread toast with strawberry jam and kaya.

Thanks to the crazy tasty puff, my friend and i were in deep shiX, our stomach were over limit, nearly burst. It was really a FRUITFUL breakfast we had, no regrets!

Location: Lean Gaik shop (at Chai Leng area)

Penang- Self Cooked Egg Wrap Chicken

Is Sunday, woke up late, miss my 油炸鬼 and 豆浆水session i had planned before i slept yesterday! What a day, nothing much to do, no movies to go for, still having phobia from the terrible and horrible harry potter movie i watched on Saturday. So, i online since i wake up until dinner time. The only thing i can think of to kill my time is to cook myself a meal.
Marinated chicken breast meat with 排骨王 sauce + butter.

After few hours, the marinated meat was given a mild fry.

Rice prepared but over estimated for 1 person. haha!

Meat was well cooked.

Egg frying session. Looks like a capati.

Weeee~ success! Golden yellowish crispy fried egg.

Stuffed the chicken meat into the "capati" egg wrapper.

Tada~!! My self made Egg Wrap Chicken dinner. Is sort of too simple, but just wanted to share with you guys n girls my own happiness and satisfaction.

Consider a piece of 成就感 during this Penang stay so far. Is tough to cook with limited accessories in the kitchen :(

Penang- Curry Mee and Pork Ribs Rice (排骨王饭）

Lunch at Chai Leng area, Penang.

Spicy curry + spicy chili paste = delicious spicy spicy curry mee!

Tender and juicy pork ribs meat + crispy fried egg = happy lunch!

Penang- Yam rice for lunch

Lunch time! Where to eat? Of course is near apollo area. WHY? because is near to working place -.-" eat faster back to work faster. That's life. lol.. HELL NO, besides tat reason, this shop really selling delicious yam rice + pepper soup + pork ingredient.

Fresh orange juice as my starter :)

Look at the spicy chili paste, is so thick!

Yam rice. See it also drooling, smell it you will never forget it, taste it you will fall in love with it.

Pepper soup with juicy pork meat + pork internal organs. yummy...

No joke, is a finger licking satisfied lunch.

Penang- Dinner near apollo area

In a hawker center, there was this stall hiding among numerous of other stalls. I saw alot of peoples ordering it, when i went to glance through the ingredient, nothing much special, so i was wondering, in the end i gave it a try.

Deng Deng Deng. Quite a common mee with chicken slices, char siew and minced meat. Is quite tasty, i still cant figure it out why so many people eating it. Really do not know how to explain the feel of eating it, give it a try if you are here in Penang. You won't regret.

Brunch in Penang

Brunch time~ as promised, i went back to the same shop (Lean Gaik) in my previous post to have my meal.

Very kao milo ais!
Tasty coffee!

Hokkien Lor Mee

Lor Mee

Soya Based Pork Leg

Clearer view on the tempting juicy meat~

A list of the shop menu :)

Business Trip in Penang

Here are some random photos during my business trip at outstation :)

View from my apartment

Penang here i come again!!

Konlow Mee near a market (my dinner 1/2)

Loh Mee near a market (my dinner 2/2). Muahaha, i ate both for my dinner.

Bento box for my another dinner. Wth, come so far from kl but eat at sushi king. LoL.

Roller skating with my colleagues at Queensbay mall. Good experience! 1st time skating on solid ground instead of ice.

Terriyaki Chicken + taufu + tauke at Feringgi for dinner after a great skating session.

This was really a "FANTASTIC" dinner hawker at Chai Leng area.

These damn dishes cost us RM14++.
Service quality= 2/10
Vinegar pork leg= 1/10 (NO SOUR TASTE OF VINEGAR AT ALL + MEAT NOT SOFT ENOUGH)
Overall, these dishes still get a 10/10 which is call "tasteless". My advice is, there are still alot of improvement space for your dishes. all the best!
Somehow, from this stall, i was able to see the determination of few little boys handling the business by themselves. Their passion and teamwork was great. This is the ONLY portion i salute them.

Great shop, luckily we passed by during our search for our brunch at Chai Leng area again.

Breakfast set 1

Breakfast set 2

Hokkien Dry Mee. This shop still serve other dishes, i will certainly pay another visit to this shop again.

July Life

What has happened to my Day 3 in Penang? LoL, i guess it has been swallowed by my tight working schedule. Life was rafting here and there since 25th of June, no longer living comfortably with such a low amount of income. Big spender? No, i am not! i am just saving money :(
Doesn't matter, life still goes on, most important, i still doing what i am interest with and with my great team of colleagues. Something came across my mind after being so sick of this working society, now i understand one thing, work for your interest instead of work for money.(no money also cannot!)
Is quite enjoyable traveling around while working. Experiencing long HOURS of drive, different cultures, different attitudes of human. So far so good although everything still not yet settle down. Is quite sad though when got the news that 2 colleagues resigned, wondering how many going to join the resign trend in the coming months. Better cross my fingers for that.
Wish me luck peoples for the July life and so on and so forth, great great great challenges ahead~ weee~ work and learn forever~ (truly a sick brainwashed workaholic sample) :)
Blog update will still goes on whenever i am free.

Penang Trip Day 2

Day 2:

We slept late the night before, so we guys decided not to set any alarm until we woke up by ourselves. In the end, we got our morning call from the girls next door. Once everyone has prepared, we start our Penang journey again~

Breakfast at "wong chau jun" sour and spicy fish head mee hoon shop. My colleague introduced this location to us. Really thanks to her, we found great foods here.

Own made Taufu. It was really really having a very unique taste, something very different from normal taufu which can be purchase in any supermarket. The taste was like "undescribable", go try it out and you will know what i mean.

What a TINY LITTLE plate of fresh and well cooked green vegetables for SEVEN young growing stage youngsters.

Famous Sour and Spicy Mee Hoon with sliced fish meats.

Hor Fun (KL folks called it as Kuey Teow) with slices of fish again. Honestly, this dish was even much more delicious than the above Sour and Spicy Mee Hoon. You can feel the sense of fish meat and hor fun in every bites.

Fried prawn in salad sauce. Tasty and fresh mouth swimming prawn! This dish wasn't a big portion but it was able to flame up your desire for ordering the 2nd dish of it. The price for this dish was reasonable to fulfil the temptation.

Our lunch started after we purchased our cable car tickets at Bukit Bendera. My lunch started with a thirst quenching fountain. Nice ice kacang with a scoop of ice cream near a stall below kek lok si temple.

Fried mangkuang with tiny pieces of scramble eggs.

Another famous Asam Laksa near kek lok si temple. Can you see the ingredient? The tauke was so generous in fulfilling the customers' desire while earning a living! Try comparing this with KL asam laksa stalls (mostly), it was like the sky and the ground.

I believe these freaking gigantic tortoises were elder than me and you. They were real HUGE!
View in Kek Lok Si temple.

Shhhh.. silent please..

Famous Mochi/ Muar Chee stall near Kek Lok Si temple.

Reasonable price with good quality of peanuts "sand".

Dinner session at Batu Feringgi. Fried prawn with black pepper sauce!

Ikan bakar!!
Fried squid in sweet and spicy sauce!

Fried oyster with egg!

Chicken satay (breast meat)

Basically ALL the dishes at Batu Feringgi were perfect! It was a fruitful dinner! Penang i love you!

Day 3 will be continued soon. Stay tune.

Back on track for a moment

My dear friends,

I had a relaxing weekend last week, finally a short break for myself to escape from the pressure cooker. Feeling so great and refresh after a trip for 3 days 2 nights. Throughout this trip i saw a lot of different cultures, attitude of locals, lifestyles and most fascinating were the food varieties. I have been eating non stop all along the places. Where i have been? Hang on with my updates. More photos and further story will be posted once i free myself out from work again for 1 or 2 days since all the photos are still siting inside my camera. I have no time to transfer yet :(

Best Regards and love

Sign off

GREAT weekend

This was one of my weekend where i spent my time at ZEN in mid valley while my friends were watching their movie. The place was so comfortable and the atmosphere was just nice for people like me to have a own space to deal with my stuff.
My lovely "Organic English Breakfast Tea" accompanied me for hours. Honestly, the tea taste nice without any sugar added in.
I love this place!

Busy daySS

It has been awhile since my last update >.<
I am trying to update asap by this weekend.
Robot life really like a routine everyday!
Sorry my dear readers. ^^

Fullhouse at 牛车水

It was the last day for us to hang out together since our oversea colleagues will be going back after the training ends. It was a rainy day, the rain continuous drizzling for hours and hours. The childhood song has no effect on it. A lot of venues we thought of were closed due to the rain. In the end, we went to Fullhouse which was a lifestyle store co cafe.
Simple yet attractive entrance~

*Mehhzzzzzz* 2 little sheep were at the staircase welcoming our present.

Left view of the upstairs' store.

Middle view of the upstairs' store.

Right view of the upstairs' store.

1 fierce little puppy and 4 little poor teddies.
Puppy: Grrrrr, Woooofffff!
Teddies: *sobs* *trembling*

(=.= Sorry for the dumb imagination i had created)

Time for the main topic~ FOOD~
Carbonara Spaghetti with beef bacon and mushroom with rich cream.
Gamberi Spaghetti with tiger prawn, garlic and chili and olive oil.
The Fullhouse Club Sandwich with grilled chicken, crisp bacon, turkey ham and cheese.
Chicken Bolognese Spaghetti with Bolognese meat sauce.
Pan Sear Doly Fish with siew pak choy, sauteed mushroom & lemon grass cream.
Wok Sear Chicken Chop served with mashed potato & daily vegetable.
Nasi Lemak with rendang chicken.

*honk* *honk* time to say bye bye to Fullhouse.

The atmosphere was absolutely comfortable and romantic for couples. At the same time, the food was well cooked and presenting a unique aromatic taste and smell. Most important, the price of the food/ beverages are affortable. But for the selling items, kinda over priced. Peoples with shopaholic attitude~ be careful of your wallet/purse~

Pastamania

Let me PROUDLY introduce you a quite interesting restaurant when you see from outside.
These were what i have ordered:

Vongale Pasta
Beef Bolognese PastaHam and Mushroom Pizza

The food LOOK very nice right!!??? so well cooked and so well decorated!!

My score:
Appearance: 8/10
Taste: 1/10
Tasteless: 9/10

(The dishes just do not suit my taste, i am picky, very picky, NOTHING to do with the restaurant)

*p/s: I NEVER say the food is not nice, i just blaming on my picky tongue, so do not come to SUE me!
