Chowrasta's Cucur Udang And Air Campur: Best Combo Teatime Below RM3 In Penang!!!

What can you get for below RM3 in Penang? Hm, actually, there are a lot of foods that cost less than RM3 in Penang (that's why Penang is well known around the world for its 'street food', just like Taiwan, but better, hehe!). Not really a good question, huh. Anyway, for those who haven't been to Penang, please come and visit Penang, whatever your country of origins or political inclinations (for Malaysians) might be. It's such a lovely and vibrant city!

BREAKFAST: McDonald vs. KFC...And The BEST Breakfast Goes To...(Final Part 2/2)

Just to recap again, I'm trying to decide which breakfast set is the best. Is it McDonald...or KFC?

In order to do so, I'll be comparing the most frequently ordered breakfast set in both McDonald and KFC, which mean I'll be comparing:

McDonald's Weekday Breakfast Special (Sausage McMuffin With Egg, RM4.50), consist of a a freshly toasted English muffin, add savory sausage, a slice of American cheese and a fresh Grade A egg, plus a cup of refillable Premium Roast coffee/ tea. Impressive resume, huh! 

VS

KFC's a.m Riser, RM4.80, consists of KFC's signature Original Recipe chicken fillet, topped with an scrambled egg and mayonnaise sandwiched between a sesame seed bun. plus a cup of Nescafe Alta Rica

BREAKFAST: McDonald vs. KFC...And The BEST Breakfast Goes To...(Part 1/2)

During my dad's generation, having breakfast means going to the coffee shop and ordering a cup of Nescafe kurang manis, two sets of roti kahwin and two half boiled eggs. Then comes McDonald and followed by KFC offering breakfast sets.

Mee Sotong Hameed & Coconut Shake @ Padang Kota Lama, Penang: Best Combo Lunch For Less Than RM10 In Penang!

Another Friday came by. I love the long lunch hours on Friday. It allows me to eat at places which are far from my working place. Jo suggested a new place to eat at Padang Kota Lama (Fort Cornwallis), Georgetown, Penang. She said the mee goreng aka mee sotong there is excellent and another 'must try' is the coconut shake (coconut drink + coconut 'meat' + ice cream).

Destination: Taman Kota Lama (Fort Cornwallis). Ample parking space along the road just fronting the beach.

Farewell Lunch @ Restoran Jade Palace, Penang: Food Was...Hmm, Okay

Firstly, the farewell lunch was not for me. It was for my mysterious and interesting bos, V, who planned to ?transfer back to Kuala Lumpur/ ?start own business/ ?going to private practice/ ?just taking some time off for himself/ ?getting married/ ?getting treatment. Mysterious, right? My colleagues and I were still unsure where he went till now. Hope he's okay. We held the farewell lunch for him a few weeks before he leaves because we're unsure when he'd leave us, hehe.

Coconut Jelly @ Jalan Dato Kramat, Penang: Best Cooling Drink...Or Cooling Food?

OMG, the weather is super crazy nowadays! Scorching hot in the afternoon when it should ideally be raining and torrential rain in the evening when it shouldn’t be. Anyway, I have no problem with the rain. It’s just the hot weather that I beh tahan. Unfortunately, unlike those people working in office, I don’t have the luxury of air condition, aii.

Okay, okay...enough of me whining about the weather. I couldn’t control it also.

Instead, let me introduce to you a special food to cool down your body when you're under the blistering heat in Malaysia..." COCONUT JELLY "

Mee Manja @ Hutton Lane, Penang: Mee Agong? Best Mee Goreng?

Since first knowing about this place from my friend, N, I'd eaten three times at Mee Manja.

Still don't understand why a 'famous' mee goreng shop put up such a cheapskate signboard, really embarassing IMHO

New Cathay Curry Mee @ Burma Road, Penang: Simple Curry Mee, Just Like Home Cook

Yes, I'm back!

So sorry for my absence from the blogging scene lately. I couldn't find time to blog last few weeks. I'd been very busy (and still busy) with some assignments and I just managed to finish some of it yesterday. Nevertheless, I still indulged on my favorite foods in Penang and Ipoh and Samsung Galaxy S had been busy snapping photos of great foods non-stop.

I Want To Be The Bigger Loser! What?!

Yummy! :)

Sound weird, right? Actually, it was a healthy bet I made with my friend, N today to see who get to lose 7kgs first by May 2011. (Indications: ballooning weight+shape and my LDL upward trajectory from 2.4 to 2.9 and now 3.7) 

My current weight: 80kgs (target 73kgs)
N's current weight: 76kgs (target 69kgs)

Whoever reach the target weight soonest will win.

Bye bye to my favorite junk food; ChaCheer kuaci and Wise potato chips

Prize?

Mee Sua Kor @ KMM Success, Air Itam, Penang: Famous And Best Mee Sua Kor Found!

At this moment, I'd say the best mee sua kor (vermicelli soup) that I'd tasted so far is found at Kedai Makanan Dan Minuman Success, along Jalan Air Itam @ Air Itam. To reach this place, drive heading to Air Itam and this stall is located on your left, just beside Maybank. It opens from 5pm onwards and offer varieties of noodles such as mee suo kor, tang hoon, oyster mee and a few more.

Located on your left heading to Air Itam, just beside Maybank, easy to find.

Waka Japanese Restaurant @ Bayview, Penang: Most Disappointing Japanese Buffet!

Well, I'm rather disappointed at the moment after my Japanese buffet dinner at Waka Japanese Restaurant (WJR) @ City Bayview Hotel, Penang. Perhaps, I was having high hopes for great Japanese foods there. My colleague recommended this place to me a few weeks ago, highlighting their large oysters.

I'd planned to eat at WJR since early this week (think I'm take my eating too seriously nowadays, planning so ahead of time). I must admit I'm not a fan of buffet as it's just silly to eat in large quantities to justify the amount we're paying. However, I always end up 'trying' buffets and then regretting eating it post-buffet. My buffet dinner at WJR was no different, aii.

To cut my nagging short, I'd put my comments and descriptions at the photos that I took when I went eating (NOT stuffing) at WJR yesterday.

Waka Japanese Restaurant entrance. I actually called to make a reservation for myself but it was not necessary. The buffet dinner is only on Friday, 6.30pm - 10pm. Fewer than 10 people (actually 7, including me) were eating here yesterday.
