Just now, I went to have my dinner at 三条路/Sa Tiao Lor/3 Road or known as Lebuh Presgrave. It was a plate of fried rice, dad said that it’s nice so he brought me there to try out. My parents had already had their dinner so it was only me eating there.

If you guys know about the famous Hokkien Mee that sells late at night, then you will know where this fried rice stall is located at. It doesn’t only sell fried rice, but also fried koay teow. The coffee shop where this stall is located at the junction of Gat Lebuh Presgrave and Jalan C.Y. Choy.

I got to say that it’s nice, it’s maybe because that I was hungry that time but seriously, it’s good. It’s fried with duck egg instead of normal chicken egg which makes the rice more frangrance. There’s also a little spicy taste in the rice but just nice. There’s no need of balachan to eat with because the taste of this is already good.

I like it. =)

This is what mom has been busying with lately. Do and redo and redo. It’s a kind of dessert that you will find in Hong Kong, taste a bit like 双皮奶 (mandarin: shuang1 pi2 nai3, cantonese:sheong pei nai) but this homenade one, the taste of milk is not very strong. It’s steam egg with milk. It’s sweet. The first time when mom made it was not so smooth but there’s improvement right now.

This is now Chawan Mushi or Toufu. =)

Can you believe it? Last Sunday I went to 7 Road Market and it was my first time going to that place after so many years of living in Penang. Lebuh Cecil is more to be known as Qit Tiau Lor to the local or literally means 7th Road in English.

I was talking about food with my friends in school and one of them introduced me to try out the Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng. We got no idea where to eat for lunch on Sunday so I told dad, “Let’s go to 7th Road to eat Koay Teow Thng.” Dad droves us there.

Lebuh Cecil Market or 7th Road Market is a wet market with the food court behind the market. I was surprised to see there’s so many hawker stall at the food court. There’s so many choice of local hawker food to choose from and I didn’t know where to start. I told myself I will visit this place again and again.

First food to order was the Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng since everyone was telling me that it’s good. It’s not hard to try, you can easily spotted the big lighted stall with it’s lightbox on top.

Dad asked for extra ingredient. It’s all duck meat with duck’s blood too. I don’t like the duck blood but the meat is nice. I like the fishball too, it’s soft and I can say that it’s not from the supermarket. The soup is sweet enough but then the taste of pepper is a little bit strong. Lesser pepper powder will be good.

Mom’s lunch was a plate of Lam Mee. I didn’t try it because I am not a fan of Lam Mee. According to mom, she said it’s good as there’s so many ingredients.

Dad loves Pasembur, we did order a plate to try out too. Pasembur is a kind of local Indian salad with shreded cucumber, turnip, potatoes, beancurd, bean sprouts, prawn fritters. The prawn fritters were crunchy enough but somehow dad says Taman Free School’s is better.

Lastly, we got a bowl of Fu Zhou Fish Ball Soup. If you do not know what this is, this is actually a bowl of fish ball in soup with tang hoon. The fish ball is different from the Koay Teow Thng’s fish ball as this has meat in the balls and it’s huge too. The soup is sweet and this is better than Taman Free School’s though. Hehe.

There’s so many stall of hawker food and I’ll go and try other next time. Any recommendation from those who have visited before? =)

Jurin Express is from the same people behind of Jurin Sushi Bar at Belissa Row, Pulau Tikus. This one is situated at Gurney Plaza’s New Wing. At first, I thought it was a fast food liked restaurant with the word “Express”, but it still a same “look at the menu and take your order” Japanese restaurant. There’s like 4 Japanese restaurants in Gurney Plaza, competiting with each other.

My mom’s friend invited us for a dinner there. It was quiet that night but it seems like it’s quiet all the time because every time I passed by, there’s not many customer in there. Wrong timing, perhaps. =)

Anyway, let’s get into the food.

She got herself a Unagi-don. The unagi fillet is nicely decorated with the sesame seeds which I feel it’s just decoration. The fillet tasted sweet but a little bit too dry. Didn’t feel amaze with what it is, it’s just Unagi. I’ll say bigger would be better.

I’ve forgotten to mention, the food was really express, it served after a few minutes we had ordered. I think the “Express” word on its name really got what it meant. I ordered a Tepanyaki Grilled Salmon. The waitress got me a plate of grilled salmon and I waited for the rice for a some times. Then I asked my rice, only then I knew she got my order wrong. She gave me a ala carte Grilled Salmon instead.

I insisted on the Tepanyaki Grilled Salmon because it comes with vegetable, miso soup and a rice. Unfortunately, the salmon fillet is down sized from the ala carte’s. I like the sauce on the salmon, the salmon is nice but it’s small. The miso soup was clear but I like it.

Overall, I feel the food tasted just normal, salmon was nice, unagi was normal. I didn’t felt WOW with the food. The price of food is just like any typical Japanese restaurant price. If the price go down to the “express food” price, then I’ll visit again. Cheer.

Jurin Express is located on the second floor of Gurney Plaza’s New Wing, next to Sushi King.
