I want to tell people that I went to clinic, to eat dinner. LOL. It’s the Clinic Cafe at Seberang Jaya, near to Sunway Carnival Mall. It’s more likely a themed restaurant with a hospital/clinic feel. I read about it in the newspaper and pretty curious about the place so I and some friends went to check it out. I believe there’s already one similar in Singapore’s Clarke Quay, but that’s more on drinking instead of meal.

It felt a little bit creepy to me when dining in there because, the waiter and waitress dress like a medical officer and it’s like dining in a clinic. Well, this is a simple one, the one in Clarke Quay, Singapore is more beautiful than this. We went there during dinner time but there’s like only 2 tables dining, include us. Pretty quiet. I think old chinese people wouldn’t want to eat here because of pantang.

After looking at the menu, the food is cheaper than I expected, but not very low price yet. It starts from RM7 and above, serving local oriental and some local western food.

I ordered the cheapest Tom Yam Fried Rice at RM7.80. They have put in a lot of spices and there’s tom yam taste but I dislike the spices, maybe some like it but not me. Don’t you feel creepy when eating rice in kidney bowl which use during surgery? Eww, haha.

My friend ordered the Yang Zhou Fried Rice, looks not bad, and tasted pretty good too. There’s lots of vegetable and forgot to mention that all our fried rice came with 4 crispy fried shrimp.

Oh shit, I’ve forgotten what my friend ordered for this beverage. It’s chocolate milk shake with vanilla ice cream if I am not mistaken, taste good, but RM5.80.

Have you been here before? I not sure whether will I return to this place or not, it’s far! Come open up one in Penang island then that’s good. =D

Fried Noodle Bee Hoon that rocks.

I went to National Service (PLKN aka Program Latihan Khidmat Negara, was in KEM PLKN WHITE RESORT, BALIK PULAU) for the past 6 weeks and the food at there sucks (sometimes). I’ll talk about it in another post. In this 6 weeks of NS, the best food of all was still the vegetarian food provided by the Than Hsiang Temple on our Saturday Buddhist praying time.

Fried Hor Fun that is awesome!

Sometimes we got Fried Maggi Noodle ala vegetarian style and sometimes we get fried hor fun. You know why they’re good? Because it had been a long time I didn’t eat Chinese food in camp already, all meals provided in the NS camp were Malay-cooked food and they were not that good.

The fried noodle bee hoon I had in the temple last weekend was awesome and I ate too big plate of it during tea time then I skipped my dinner in camp. =)

They do have a good vegetarian food restaurant.

Just sharing with what I’ve eat for breakfast today’s morning. It’s 2 pieces of roti canai at Nasmir Nasi Kandar near to Sunshine Jelutong there. It’s RM0.80 per piece. I like the roti canai because it’s not oily but the gravy was not very delicious. My 2 cents.

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 was in town last Sunday and it was dinner time, I didn’t know what to eat. At first, I thought of going to Prangin Mall to look for dinner but it’s already and I don’t really like to go there at night, it’s a little bit scary. After thinking and thinking, called some friend for suggestion and finally found a place to eat and this is the new Sungai Penang Food Court. Seems it’s new and just quite near, so I went there to try out a new place of hawker food.

I was worried about parking as my friend told me that there’s no parking lot and it’s actually not true.

I was pretty excited when I saw so many people eating at there, I love crowded place as it builds up the happenings atmosphere.

Initially, I didn’t now where to eat, but just as I reached there, walked around the stalls twice, I didn’t know what to eat, there’s like so many choices and I wanted to try them all.

Due to budget constrain and want something different, I found this special Golden Claypot Curry Chicken or literally translated means A Bowl of Chicken Curry Per Person.

There’s 3 types, curry chicken + bread, curry chicken + white rice and curry chicken + nasi kunyit.

I ordered the Curry Chicken + Nasi Kunyit set. Nasi Kunyit is also known as the Tumeric Rice. I think it had been quite a long time I didn’t eat Nasi Kunyit, I only get to eat when there’s people give birth because it’s a kind of culture where the local Chinese will give relatives and friend nasi kunyit when they give birth.

The way of eating this is put a lot of the curry gravy on the rice to make it soft and not so sticky and the taste of curry and nasi kunyit blends well. I like this, the chicken meat was soft and the curry was not very spicy. This thing cost me RM5.50, it will be nice if it’s below RM5. Hehe.

I saw a lot of people bought the fried chicken thing, like fried chicken wing, fried drumstick at the fried chicken stall. It’s seems like something good, so I bought the fried chicken neck for RM2 to eat. Sounds unhealthy with so many friend things but I like fried stuff, though I would have to drink plenty of fluid.

It’s my first time step foot into the Rasa Sayang Spa and Resort after its renovation a year ago. I heard good feedback from friends about the Spice Market Cafe, both look and food and finally I got a chance to try out.

That day was Sunday night and it’s an International Buffet. There’s some sort of promotion and so we got buy 1 free one which means we paid the price of 2 person for 4.

One thing, we went into the wrong entrance and we had a long walk from up to down to upper level again to the other side of the hotel where the Spice Market Cafe is.

The cafe has a good interior looking. The lights, the ambience and the way the present the food are fascinating and good.

It’s a n International Cuisine Buffet and there’s a lot a huge a variety of food to choose from. There’s Indian food, Japanese’ sushi and sashimi, cooked and cooled seafood, Italian pasta, Chinese food, western food, grilled sirloin and salmon, lots of cakes and desserts and the list goes on.

I did manage to try all the not-local food but not all the local food and too not all the cakes. There’s too many and my I didn’t really have much space in my tummy.

Unfortunately, there’s no raw oyster which I like. I did enjoy my meal though.

Frankly speaking, I am not a fan of buffet yet I still go for it. The reason is there’s too many choice at a buffet and it’s eat-all-you-can, it’s eating and taking all the time and you will be bloated after all and one thing, self-service. I prefer to be served and slowly enjoying the food instead of keep on taking and taking.

Yet, if you would like to bring me to a buffet, I will never reject your offer for it. Hehe. I love trying out for new food.

Have you ever heard about White Curry Mee? I’ve never until my mom told me about this place. I thought it was a kopitiam but actually it’s not, it’s a little restaurant or should be said as a enclosed air conditioned kopitiam.

Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights is situated at one of the shop houses and it’s very easy to locate with the big banner of photos of the curry mee hanging outside. Before stepping into the cafe, the first thing I know about the food in my head was, white curry mee and beansprout chicken.

The place actually served a few food besides curry mee and the Chinese chopped chicken, there’s also chicken rice, lobak and some other more dishes but people tend to order the curry mee and the Pak Cham Kai (Chinese chopped chicken) more which are both their famous food.

It’s like a chicken rice shop but they only have white chicken but no roasted black chicken. The meat very tender and soft so it’s easy to bite.

Ordering a plate of beansprout turns these into beansprout chicken which one of Ipoh’s famous food. This is good too.

However, the best food in here is still the white curry mee. It’s really white when it served only then it turned into the normal curry mee after you add the curry mee chili paste into the soup. The reason it’s white because there’s no chili added into the soup when serving. By the way, don’t add too much of chili paste or else it will be very hot and spicy.

Opening hours is from 8am to 3pm. You can check this place out, you won’t sweat a lot because it’s air conditioned.

A few weekends ago, my friend invited for a dinner at Manila Place. In fact, it’s my first time having a meal there. The previous was just buying a beverage takeaway and another visit was an afternoon tea without eating, but looking at what my friend ate. Which means, this was my official first time eating out at Manila Place.

After looking through the menu, it didn’t give me a “reasonable price” feeling. There’s a set dinner menu and I picked the chicken set, which then I got to choose from a list of chicken meal in the menu but not Chicken Gordon Blue. My friend who had worked there as a part-timer before introduced me to this Grilled Bombay Chicken, I ordered it.

The set came with a starter of mushroom soup, bread and butter, and 2 pieces or fried wan tan.

The main course is the Grilled Bombay Chicken. Looked pretty in photo. After putting it in my mouth, the gravy tasted like the dalcha sauce which is use in some Malay/Indian food, it’s just it’s not spicy but sweet. No wonder it’s called the Bombay Chicken.

In my 2 cents, it’s me, myself that don’t really like this dish, it’s a good one, but it’s just not my favourite.

After main course, a very small cup of ice cream will be served and that’s the set dinner consisted of.

Manila Place is located at the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza.

From the paper, this GEORGETOWN White Coffee cafe is known as the biggest store in Malaysia but then I have yet to know the others franchise or branch store for this. Anyway, the cafe is pretty and I was with KOKahKOK and MX, we wanted to have our lunch there but we had a bad first time experience there.

The cafe is huge but then first thing was the waiter didn’t come to us when we sit down. The foreign workers knew nothing about the menu and what they do were just clean up and serve the food. Person who take the menu was more likely a locals but then they walked slowly to us. I believe that they have not been well-trained.

Looking through the menu, I see that food are like OLDTOWN’s but with more Penang’s local food and price is of course not as cheap as at the kopitiam. I ordered a Rendang Chicken Rice and KOKahKOK ordered a Nasi Lemak.

The girl told us that the system in the cafe was down and food maybe served a bit late and they served us these kuih (worth RM4) for free. That’s fine when I heard that but then it took really very long, I even asked how long will it takes but then the waiter never came back to us.

What we really had was just the kuih and our beverages. 2 GEORGETOWN White Cofee and a GEORGETOWN Chocolate. White Coffee tasted like there’s a lot of milk, not that bad for it but then I didn’t try on the chocolate.

We were fed up with the long waiting time, they were not prepared for something like this,  maybe it’s new to them but they have to train their staff well. They were like walking slowly, everything was so relax. We canceled our food, paid for the drinks and walked away. Others did this too, because it was too long already.

KOK then wondered, what if we did not order any drinks but food, then they serve the kuih for free, we eat it, cancel our food, and run! Haha.

Hopefully, they will improve on everything, perhaps price too! I’ll apologize them for giving us free kuih. Another thing was, there’s no wifi provided in store.

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.
