CNY '09 - Part 2

Too many delicious foods in my list yet too less time I have, thus on Saturday, 31st Jan 2009, me and my sista brother step onto Island again to try out some of the famous yet truly from Penang foods!

Taman Emas restaurant, 金园茶餐食located just opposite of Penang Chinese Girls High School (槟华女子中学) Peng Hua Penang which famous on Laksa. If you are not fan of Laksa, you can try out Char Keow Teow and other foods too.

Fried pop piah, eating with Laksa..

A plate of Penang Char Keow Teow, this is delicous..

Here you go~ Penang Laksa eating together with pop piah, get one of the pop piah and putting in laksa soup then have a bite. Yum yum~ You should try that...

After Laksa at Taman Emas restauran, we were heading to Penang Road having famous cendol as dessert and I would said this is the best cendol in Penang. As people says, your trip in penang would be never complete without trying out penang road cendol, see the crowd?? Everyone comes for their cendol.

There are 2 stalls just opposite each other and it's pretty easy for you to differentiate which is the most famous cendol stall. Because their stall is always full of crowd and it's located beside Joo Hooi restaurant.

Or maybe you could recognize through the BOSS face.. =)

Cendol will be RM1.70 per bowl and RM1.90 for take away..

Penang road cendol is just nearby Komtar and Prangin Mall or opposite of Police station. If you are not familar of the place, you could just ask anyone around there and I believe they will point to the right place.

Beside of Cendol, which place is a must visit or else your trip in penang will never be complete? There will be - Batu Feringgi! A relaxing place of mine.. Beach is always my first choice of vacation spot.

We did not drove through Batu Feringgi, we just stopped in behind Crown prince hotel which is public beach for every visitors. Currently Crown prince hotel is under construction thus if you wanna park at housing area, bear in mind, there will be some people come along to you and collect for money. One of the bad culture for Malaysia and we need to paid for RM2 per car.

"Wilson! Wilson!" from... Cast Away??

My little cousin sista help me wrote my name on the beach..

If you were around Batu Feringgi, where should you go for dinner? Gurney drive? Ehem.. I will said Boring and expensive~ And it's for foreigner.. Special western food? yea, let's try it out!

I can't really tell you how to get there, but if you ask the person around Batu Feringgi or Penang area, they might know. It's located opposite Island Plaza and somewhere nearby "Tua Pui Loh" Chicken Rice - 大肥罗鸡饭 at Fettes Park. Their business hour start from 6pm.

Steak, Chicken Chop, Fish & Chips, Pork Chop, Lamb Chop, Mushroom Soup and etc etc.. Variety Choices of western foods.

Mushroom soup - RM2.50

Spicy Thai Chicken - RM7.50

Chicken Cordon Bleu - RM7.50

From first it looks like normal fried chicken chop, when you cut into half the secret has exposes as they have stuff lots of cheeses and ham into the chicken chop. Special tho.

Fish & Chips - RM6.50

Fried Egg & Sausages - RM5

Indiana Chicken - RM7.50 .. One of the special chicken chop too, special sauces with lots of onion.. Worth to try~

Barbeque Chicken - RM7.50

My last day of Penang trip before heading back to KL and I'm kinda satisfy for this trip as eaten as much as I can and enjoy with my lovely family as well.

CNY '09 - Part 1

Happy Chinese New Year & 恭喜发财! It's been awhile I did not update anything here due to Chinese New Year. And I have back to Penang - Bukit Mertajam for a week for celebration too. CNY '09 seems not so fun compared to old time, it is due to people not care enough like old time or I have older year than year thus can't enjoy like kids time? However, CNY still an important day of mine.. I have enjoyed as much as I can during CNY and shared my joy here.. =]


Since I have started my career life till now, I'm always the one who going back on last minute and my sista always need to wait for me. Hehz.. So sorry ya sis! This year, as usual, we went back on Sunday, 25th Jan 2009 after my night shift off. Thus, we have started our journey around 10am in the morning. It's has took about 3 and half hours to reach our home sweet home.. ^^

My home sweet home.. Finally, I have back to the warmest place~

Mandarin orange, one of the imporatant character during CNY..

Eu Yan Sang - 余仁生 present from my 2nd sista bf's family.. Thanks for the present.. =]

Tang tang tang~ The most important present during CNY! My first ang pao from my lovely parents! Thanks to dad and mom, wishing both of you good HEALTH all the times!

And.. Steamboat? Know what, every CNY, we got to having steamboat since reunion dinner to Chu 3.. sweat.. sweat... The ever first thing I will recall during CNY, must be steamboat.. Having it at my house, my grandma side, uncle side, aunt side.. bla bla.. It's all about steamboat huh?

On 4th day of CNY, we have been invited by our uncle for dinner at Penang Island, 风味小食馆.. It's a rushing dinner during CNY because there are too many peoples out for dinner. Thus, our slot of dinner is from 6pm-8pm. After 8pm, they will serve for other customer.

Lou Shang again?? Yea.. My 3rd time of lou shang during CNY.. As Hokkien peoples said: Huat Cai ah!

I don't have menu on my hand as this dinner treat by my uncle. Thus, forgive for the description..

The whole package should be around RM500 per table according to my mom. The first dish will be Braised Shark’s Fin Soup .. ^^

四星报喜。。

Peking duck skin..

Crispy roast duck skin wrapped in the thin pancake..

First step: Put a thin pancake on your plate and crispy roasted duck skin too..

Second step: Put some sweet sauce on top of duck skin..

Wrapped it and you may put some sweet or chilli sauce again before start your first bite.. =P

With no wasted, the dish next to Peking duck will be the duck meat cook with mango slice.. It just different from normal duck meat, taste so good! I like the dish..

年年有余（鱼）

Rice?? My gosh~ With no suprise, after all the dishes, they will served a plate of rice and I bet no ones can finish it because we are too full~ Maybe all the restaurant should consider to change their menu right? Especially for wedding dinner, it's kinda waste if people can't finish it.

This is special dessert I would say.. Guess what is the cube stuff?? Answer is "Corn ice cream". It's kinda suprise when I saw this dessert been served, what a good idea tho.

Sweet sago soup with corn ice cream, just nice combination of dessert.. Yum yum~

Take a picture with our grandpa..

Our dinner finished up around 7.45pm and we have end of the 4th day of CNY...

Opps.. nonono.. I recalled it.. After dinner at Penang Island, we have heading back to Bukit Mertajam to visit our uncle's family as they have invited us for steamboat dinner.. OMG! Kidding me? Eat again? Of course not.. We just went there, drinking and chatting before end of the day.
