Looking at the photo, do you think it’s nice? Red Box is one of my favourite hang out place but I seldom have my meal there. Sometimes feel like killing a bird with two stone, save money for lunch and KTV at the same time, so I go there during lunch hour. But actually save nothing, cause after KTV, I will feel hungry again and go eat again.
So last week, I went to K Lunch, 11am-2pm, lunch was included and I ordered the Spaghetti with Minced Curry Chicken. To make it simple, it’s bolognese but curry sauce. Tasted very asian and oriental and myself favor the bolognese more. But it’s not bad afterall.
Last Sunday, parents and I went to Gurney Drive for lunch. We actually wanted to eat the Chinese seafood “cook fried” (just means Chinese food to us), but we were too early, so instead we ordered the Yam Rice for lunch. The stall owner is actually my dad’s friend and he asked us to try their yam rice out. Because of friend, so we went to try it out.
The yam rice is a little bit different with what I had before, it’s more light in color and there’s lots of yam. The taste was OK, perhaps I am not a fan of yam rice. It’s RM4 per bowl and sounds a little bit expensive.
Then there’s the vinegar pork leg. This is good, the pork leg were succulent and the soup was sour and sweet enough.
There’s also the assorted pork soup, cooked with pig’s intestine and meat ball. Tasted sour, not my favourite, but dad like it.
Overall, the food was not bad but the price were pretty not nice. Maybe it’s on Gurney Drive, the tourist area?
This Teochew Yam Rice is located in Public Cafe on Gurney Drive.
The famous Koay Teow Th’ng originally from Pitt Street is now at Carnavon Street. Actually it had been quite some times already but I am sharing with unknowns and this Koay Teow Th’ng place is where I often go there for brunch. Dad loves it here, so do I and mom.
Do you know Carnavon Street has various calling in local Penang Hokkien dialect? Some called it lam chan na (I have no idea what’s that means), some called kua cha keh 棺材街 (Coffin Street because there’s shops selling casket/coffin at there last time).
The koay teow th’ng shop is very easy to find because they have a big signboard outside with a big photo of the koay teow th’ng. So no worry of being lost.
The aunty there is the one who operate the stall and cook the koay teow th’ng. She’s a very friendly person.
I like the fish ball, it’s nice. There’s duck meat and also pork. The big slices of meat are pork, chopped. Kinda special and they koay teow submerged under the soup. Very nice.
Besides just ordering koay teow, we ordered only just the meat in the soup as extra one and eat for fun. Yummy. Koay teow although is similar to Ipoh’s Hor Fun, but the feeling and texture is definitely different. Personally like koay teow more.
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?
