This sushi above is free. I paid nothing for it, seriously I meant.

A few weeks ago, I went to Sushi King with a few friends, they ordered some food, ate and paid. During the payment, I was asked to fill in a feedback form about the restaurant and by just filling in the form, I got a free coupon for this tuna sushi.

It’s not a great sushi but at least I get something FOC. I went to eat it few days ago. At first, I was thinking about just just to eat the free sushi and ordering nothing. I thought I just have to pay for the green tea but the tea was free too! Then I don’t really feel comfortable without paying anything, and walked out after eating the free sushi and green tea, it’s too “Penangite”, so my friend took a plate, the cheapest plate from the belt of sushi. He ate it, and we payed only for that plate of sushi.

The cashier was suprised to see the number 1 on the bill and it was written on the the cheapest plate column. She was so frustrated and was looking for who wrote the bill. We told her who wrote the bill but she can’t find that waitress out. Oh my god, how can she not believing us just ate a plate of sushi?

Mr Pot Cafe is a 24 hours cafe/restaurant at the Gurney Drive seafront. Selling local, western food, beer, coffee and snacks. It’s a nice spot to sit down to watch football at night and there’s also free wifi at the cafe so you can bring along your laptop to surf the net. The place is a nice spot to hang out because it’s by the sea and it’s always windy.

Recently, they have opened another outlet at Upper Penang Road.

So, I went to Mr Pot Cafe to have my breakfast last Sunday morning with dad and mom. Brought along my laptop to do a little bit of IM and surf the net.

Ordered a glass of blended white coffee with whipped cream on top. This taste good and it’s better than Old Town, most probably because of it’s blended and there’s whipped cream.

Here’s what I’ve ordered for myself, a English Breakfast (RM6.80) on the menu which consist of an egg, few short sausages, a ham, baked beans and breads. What I gonna say is, I love the sausage, I love the ham. In addition, the bread is nicely toasted too, making it a little crispy.

There’s a variety of food on the breakfast menu, there’s also local food too. I am going to try others next time.

I like Bubble Tea or in Taiwan, it’s also called the Boba tea. It’s a kind of beverage with various types of flavour with the presense of chewy translucent balls of pear tapioca. In short meaning, it is little round chewable, edible jelly ball.

The original one is 珍珠奶茶 (mandarin:zhen1 zhu1 nai3 cha2) which literally means pearl milk tea. It’s milk and tea with the chewy ball. I like the blue colour one which is called champagne flavoured 香槟 (mandarin:xiang1 bing1)

However, Gurney Drive is not the best one. I am still in search for a nice bubble tea. Any idea? The one at Kocha is quite nice too.

We were hungry just now and dad took us for supper. At first, we wanted to go to Pulau Tikus market to eat Asam Laksa for supper but unfortunately the stall didn’t open for business today. It was 10 and we didn’t want to go far to eat laksa, we went to Gurney Drive hawker area there instead.

The first thing came in my mind was “why go there?”, it’s because of hawker food at Gurney Drive is getting more expensive and it is getting lousier. Seriously, the hawkers are more to doing tourist business than locals. Though, there’s 2 things that are still nice there which is the Asam Laksa and Soya Bean, also tau hua/tau fu fa.

However, there’s 3 laksa stalls if I am not mistaken. One of my friend did told one of those is her favourite, but I’ve forgotten which. Daddy also forgotten which stall’s laksa is nice so we went randomly.

So, we ordered 2 bowl of laksa from the No 11 stall. It seems like I had tried before, a long time ago. Nevertheless, I am gonna try all next time. The laksa is pretty sour and vegetable filled but not so spicy. If you like sour, you will like this. But then it’s too sour for me already, I prefer something like sweeter or saltier. Different places serve different taste of laksa but all of which has a sour taste. It’s depends on how balance on the taste it is. Dad says it’s nice, I’ll say it is not so good. I prefer somewhere else’s laksa. What do you think? =)
