This year’s Fathers’ Day, I brought dad to Sakae Sushi for lunch. Dad is not really a fan of western food and he only know local food and a little bit of Japanese food, and so, I brought him to Sakae Sushi at Gurney Plaza. Actually, it’s not planned. I just suggested to go there and eat and when the bill comes, SURPRISED, I payed for it, and it’s for my lovely daddy, and mommy and also myself. Haha.

Normal days, I wouldn’t go to Sakae Sushi because it’s expensive (to me) but every meal also very full one. Worth it or not, quite worth, but I didn’t have so much money all the time. Haha.

First up, one of our starter/appetizer. 6 slices of fresh raw salmon fillet. Yummy.

Another appetizer for me, taken from the belt is Unagi Sushi. =D I was so hungry so, I picked one from rotating belt.

Then here comes some main course. A combo of fried salmon fillet and teriyaki chicken, serve with steamed white rice. Mom and dad shared this.

Mine is Sakae Gozen. there’s a few dishes in the set. There’s Japanese curry chicken which is pretty good. There’s the cheesy scallop, two of them, and a fried salmon filled. Served with steamed rice and there’s miso soup and also chawan mushi too. It’s so much and I couldn’t finish my rice. Very full!

I love Japanese food, a lot! My teacher who went to Japan told me, once we tried the sushi in Japan, we will never want to eat the sushi here, because it’s too fresh at there. I’ve never been to Japan before, what do you think?

Fried longbeans.

Brinjal/Eggplant. This is special a bit because they cut it small.

花卷 (chinese: hua1 juan3). Steam Scallion Bun, nice to eat with curry or the tung po yok below.

东坡肉 (chinese: tong1 po1 rou4; cantonese: tung po yok). My favourite pork dish and it’s good to eat with the bun. Delicious, very.

Yummy! Unfortunately, they’re only in Kuala Lumpur and Penang don’t have Esquire Kitchen. Hopefully then will open an outlet here in Penang.

There were Xuan Xin Steamboat in Tanjung Tokong, later then Xuan Xin restaurant on the 3rd floor, Gurney Plaza’s New Wing and now there’s a new one, Xuan Xin Ramen Kitchen. Since it’s new and it’s Chinese food, daddy, mommy and me went to check it out.

I was sick and couldn’t eat spicy ramen so I ordered a plate of pork rice to eat and it’s nice to me. My next visit for sure will be ramen already, stay tune!

A new restaurant has opened in Gurney Plaza’s alfresco area and it’s the Chicago Rib House. Sounds cool huh? Find some time, I am going there to try some ribs. I love ribs, do you? I am not really a steak guy though.

Have anyone been here already? If do, what’s your experience?

I am so slow and only knew that Rotiboy, a local famous confectionery opens it second outlet in Penang in Gurney Plaza. Probably because I was in NS and I didn’t know what’s happening on the outside world. But there’s still a lot of people don’t know that Rotiboy is in Gurney Plaza right now.

I went there to buy a lot of Rotiboy and brought back to camp a week ago, let some of my friends eat and they like it a lot and a lot of them asked me where to get it. This shows that there’s still many people don’t know what’s Rotiboy, even some Penangite! I love Rotiboy a lot and my first time knowing it was like many years back in One Utama. =D

Mom says Butterboy is nice, I never try it before but I’m gonna try it soon.

On my very short KL trip 2 weeks ago, I went shopping at Pavilion and when it comes to tea time and hungry, we went for food at Crystal Jade Kitchen. Have been to Food Junction food court a few times already, so don’t want to eat there again, wanted to eat some nice Chinese food.

It’s pretty quiet at that time, there’s only a few days, maybe it’s weekday and it’s afternoon. We ordered only a little food. Egg tarts which was nice and warm.

Their Phoenix Feet (chicken feet) was good too, but I don’t know how to differentiate the taste, I put in my mouth and I felt good, so I tell you it’s good.

Very common Cheong Fun dish with prawn. So-so only, there’s bigger prawn and the chili paste tasted better.

I ordered spicy minced chicken noodle. The chicken it’s actually not minced, it’s chopped into very small pieces and cook with some sauce. It tasted sweet and a little little bit of spicyness. I think this is something that I want to eat one time only, perhaps not my favourite, but I like the noodle. The noodle is really Hong Kong/Guangzhou style, very crispy, nice to bite, and not soft.

My brother ordered a roasted goose drumstick noodle. Served with some kailan vegetable and a bowl of soup. He said the roasted goose was good, I tried a little bit and also agreed with him. The fat part of the goose is very juicy but it’s the best part to eat.

Crystal Jade Kitchen is located in the basement of Pavilion shopping mall, Kuala Lumpur.

To be honest, this was my first time eating out at Dome, never been into any Dome cafe before.

Well, the cafe was pretty nice, but somehow I like the feel of Starbucks Coffee more. It’s quiet on that day, there’s only like 4 tables include mine were occupied. Flipped through the menu and it’s all western food. I ordered a glass of Vienna coffee. The serving was nice, I like the cream on top flowing out and the glass, very cool. It’s now something different from Starbuck’s. I like this.

As for my lunch, I ordered a Lasagne. I was excited when I saw the cheese melting on top of the beef. Western food’s serving is always small but the smallnest did fill my stomach much. Although the cheese seems a lot, somehow the tomato taste are stronger than the cheese. So far, in my life, I didn’t tried Lasagne of many place before, and this was not bad, though the price was a little bit high at around RM20.

Do you like lasagne?

Went to Gurney Plaza for shopping a few days ago and found this new restaurant at the cineplex level, level 7 of Gurney Plaza. The name is Zheng Cai Shi Liao which literally means Steam. This restaurant was previously Wembrey Park Kopitiam which did not give me a good impression before. Have anyone tried it yet?

We usually eat minced (pork) meat rice out there but at Old Town, it’s minced chicken instead of pork because they are Halal restaurants.

One Saturday afternoon, I was at Queenbay Mall, hungry and didn’t want to spend a lot on lunch so I went to Old Town which once was my favourite eating-out place when it first opened in Penang, but sooner I got bored on their food so I didn’t go there quite some times already until that afternoon.

Went through the menu, I wanted something that can fill my stomach well and I needed rice, so I ordered something that I haven’t tried before, their Homemade Minced Chicken with Flavoured Rice.

Served with an egg and plenty of minced chicken meat, it tasted salty and something new to me. It did filled my stomach full but somehow for RM8.30, I think it’s a little bit expensive for just minced chicken and an egg.

This Old Town Cafe that I had visited locates at the North Zone of Lower Ground Floor in Queensbay Mall.

I believe some of you may know about the recent promo by Sushi King lately. They are having the Unagi Time promotion until this weekend which is promoting all their Unagi food. I don’t really know about the pricing whether it’s expensive or not because I don’t really eat out at Sushi King a lot, Japanese food is always more than affordable to me.

Last weekend, I went to Sushi King and I did not go there purposely to try out the food on their Unagi Time menu. It was just a normal lunch, no idea where to eat and in the end went in to Sushi King.

Being a budget eater, I looked over the menu and found the most budget meal, the Unagi Omurice, for only RM8.90. It was lunch, I needed something to fill my stomach, was really very hungry that time and since there’s omurice, I ordered it.

Fried garlic rice wrapped in egg with 2 slices of little unagi. That’s really very budget. The rice was good but the slices of unagi were too thin, can’t really taste out the feel of unagi. The portion was quite small and I was not full after consuming it. So, I was forced to look for sushi on the moving belt.

By the way, if you or your friend have a Sushi King card, you get 10% of your bill. ^^
