I just woke up feeling that I want to experiment on food photography. I got to say it’s pretty hard for me to play with food photography, especially it’s a little bit hard to catch the picture composition and the depth of field of the food for the right photo. Surf a lot of net and my hand was itchy to start on it.

I went to the Chinese restaurant in Penang Sports Club for lunch and we ordered 3 dishes. The Curry Kapitan Chicken, Sambal Vegetabla and Mutton in a Pot. From what I’ve known, guests are allow to go into the restaurant of the sports club and payment are via cards. Though, I don’t really see a lot of outsider. It’s my dad who is the club member but I don’t really go there to have my meal.

Let’s get into some photos.

Curry Kapitan Chicken. The best dish of 3 but it’s not that good when comparing to my own homecooked version.

Sambal Vegetable, tasted a little bit too salty.

Lastly, I got mutton in a pot, cooked in Chinese style. I don’t like it.

Well, the subject is on the photography but not on the food, so don’t bother about the comment, what do you think about the photos? I spent around 2 to 3 minutes for shooting these and mom and dad were staring at me while I do so.

I went to try out a new western food stall in Tanjung Bungah. Not sure whether heard about it before or not? It’s located in the little food court right opposite The Cove Condominium, near to Copthorne Orchid Hotel. Outside the food court, there’s actually a sign writing “Famous Fish & Chips”, so we went in to try it out.

The little western food stall is called Max Deli Western Delight. There’s a lot of choices of local style western food.

I ordered myself a mushroom soup with garlic bread as an appertizer, I was hungry at that time. The soup is creamy, but not it still can be cremier. Though, there’s a lot of mushroom which I like.

This is the Max Deli Grilled Chicken. At first, I ordered a Grilled Black Pepper Chicken but I’ve decided to change it to this because with the name Max Deli, I thought it was their special dish like the Chicken Special at Pulau Tikus. Well, I got to say this is just very normal dish to me, taste more or like a Chinese dish, with lots of onion. I should have tried others than this.

This is what they called the London Fish and Chips. It’s just simillar to the one in Breeks Cafe. This is a lot better than the Max Deli Grilled Chicken. Though, it still can be more crispier. Overall, this is not a bad one, you can give it a try.

Unfortunately, the food court is not very well-maintained and clean, though there’s still a lot of people having meal there in the evening.

I have visited Chili’s Grill Bar and Restaurant last Thursday at Gurney Plaza to celebrate a birthday for my friend and it’s also a little farewell gathering. It was my 2nd time visiting to Chili’s, the first time was one year ago and now I am there again.

It’s a restaurant from United State and offering Mexican-American food. We spent half an hour looking at the menu and did not know what to eat and in the end, we asked for the recommendation from the chef.

As for starter, we got a Triple Dipper. It has chicken wings, eggrolls and another one taste like prawn or tempura. From what the menu, it says Chicken Crispers, Boneless Buffalo Wings and Southwestern Eggrolls. I like the chicken wing and I like the egg roll, it’s nice when dipping it in the honey-mustard sauce and blue cheese.

This is not a dish or ice cream or salad. It’s actually the sour cream, guacamole, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo. I don’t what’s that all except the greens taste like Chinese’ salted vegetable. All these are to eat with the fajitas.

From the menu, there’s a recommeded logo on the Mushroom Jack Fajitas but I did not order that because I’ve tried it before last time. This time, I ordered something different and it’s the combo sizzling fajitas. It has beef and chicken and also vegetable. It’s a little bit like tepanyakki but this is quite nice. Though, I prefer Mushroom Jack Fajitas because it has mushroom. I love mushrooms. =)

Lastly, the 2nd main course is the Fajita Quesadillas which is chicken and steak with grilled onions and some chesse in the toasted tortillas. It’s different from the combo fajita because that one is you wrap yourself and this is already in it. The tortilla is a bit like the Malay’s chapati but this is nicer. =)

Tips by email2me :

When you go chilis, you should order the tortilla chips with the cold salsa sauce dip. UNLIMITED REFILL !!! EAT ALL YOU CAN!!! at a flat price RM9.90 Sauce and Chip both unlimited

Then order one unlimited sodas or juice …… one big bags of straw …. whole party can share ….. this is the lamest I can think of. But who cares …. nowadays economy are bad you know …. lol

If I am not mistaken, it’s doing a promotion right now. RM9 for a the set of Happy Ricebox Set with a drinks (mostly Vsoy soya bean). I have finally tried to XXL Crispy Chicken of Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snack Corner, it’s with rice because I ordered the happy ricebox set. It is said that the original price is RM11 but currently it’s doing a promotion, so it’s cheaper.

The Happy Ricebox Set consist of XXL Crispy Chicken, cold toufu, some salted vegetable, century egg and rice. Although the promotional poster there says that it include “drinks of your choice” but then they only serve VSOY soya bean and mineral water.

Overall, it’s something that can filled my stomach. The chicken is nice and boneless. It’s that they gives too little of vegetable, eat more vegetable is good for health. The toufu is special because it’s a cold one, and there’s the sweet century egg.

What do you think?
