It’s dinner time and Kenny, my friend don’t want to eat at hawker stalls or fast food restaurant so he suggested to eat out at Breeks Cafe, located at the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza. It’s a western food oriented restaurant. It had been quite some times I didn’t visit to Breeks, probably because there’s no Breeks in KL and no one invite me to go there. Yes I am like that one, if no one invite me, I wouldn’t go to a mid-price restaurant myself. Maybe I’m selfish. Haha.

Anyway, cut the crap and let’s get into food. I ordered one of the set dinner which is the Fish and Chicken Combo which comes with fish fillet and grilled chicken, side dish with some salad and that’s all. To be honest, I have a big stomach and these don’t fill my stomach well but as taste wise, they are pretty good. Try it with their special BBQ sauce and it’s pretty nice.

Kenny ordered a smoked salmon sandwich from the ala carte menu. It comes with sandwich, sald and french fries. According to him, it taste good but from the look, they didn’t look well-presented. But the most important is still the taste right?

Breeks Cafe is at Gurney Plaza and also Queensbay Mall, Penang.

Arron, a good friend of mine treated us Chili’s last Friday and this is not a food review. It’s basically, food that we’ve ordered. The night was not concentrated on the food, but was about spending last crazy moment as he had went to Kuala Lumpur to further his studies.

Awesome eating place, awesome food, but bad outdoor environment because there’s loud speaker blasting off music in conjunction with World Cup 2010 which makes talking and communicating difficult.

I don’t really go Chili’s always, because of the pricing and I am a poor person, I need more sponsors. Haha. Everytime I go to Chili’s I ordered the same food, it’s either Fajitas or Quesadillas. This time I wanted to try something different and spent like 5-10 minutes looking at the menu and ordered a Firecrackers Fish Fillet. Wanted to try something different and picked their seafood.

So, let’s get into some food porn now. =D

Starter, Tortilla Chips, refillable. =D

Fish but not mine.

Chicken spaghetti.

Ribs.

Ok, here’s mine. Firecracker Fish Fillet. I tell you what, I don’t really like the taste of the rice. The fish is ok but not the rice, maybe it’s too western or what. Garlic rice is so much better IMO. The taste is, weird. I like fajitas more.

Fried Chicken. =D

Us!

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?

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.

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?

The Manila Place serves Asian and Western food, cakes and coffee. This was actually my 2nd visit to the restaurant ala cafe.

Getting into the food, me and brother ordered the set dinner which comes with a soup, main course, dessert and coffee. It’s always more reasonable than ordering it ala carte. Mom didn’t eat much, she just ordered the Soup In A Bun, which is one of their famous, mushroom soup filled in a dugged big bun. I think it’s just look pretty, after all it’s still the same mushroom soup that comes with my set dinner, except there’s lot of bread for you.

Salmon Steak was what I’ve ordered. Looking pretty with the food presentation, served with some potato wedges and some vegetable. When I say some, it’s really some, the portion was quite small and it’s not enough to fill the tummy of mine. The salmon feels kinda hard, they should have put in more gravy as it tasted rather tasteless to me.

Here is brother’s Sirloin Steak and looked good. He told me it’s good, I did not try it though. =)

Cakes are must have for birthday, so I ordered two slices of cake, one is a all time favourite, black forest and another is the coffee cheese cake. The cakes were not so sweet and it’s good, cakes that are very sweet are not good cake. I like the coffee cheese more.

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

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. ^^

Brother wanted to eat Sashimi and so, we ordered a 5 pieces Salmon Sashimi. It’s almost RM30 for 5 pieces and could be say as expensive. Wondering is it the market for such dish? Though, the salmon were really fresh and you can feel the softness of the meat in your mouth. Wow.

Another side dish was a fried vegetable in tepanyaki style. Nothing much to comment about it, healthy and good.

My main dish was the stone bowl spicy salmon. There’s egg, mushroom, vegetable and the fried salmon. What I liked was the mushroom in the stone bowl, it’s sweet! As for the salmon and overall, I prefer the stone bowl from Kim Gary’s, seriously.

Best food of the day was Unagi something-something Sushi. I love Unagi and it’s nice!
