Satisfying Dinner

Went to town for dinner today.
Mien brought us for kuay chap.
For those who does not know what is it, it is a Teochew dish of flat, broad rice sheets in a soup made with dark soy sauce, served with pig offal, braised duck meat, various kinds of beancurd, preserved salted vegetables, and braised hard-boiled eggs.
It is a small roadside stall, but not to be intimidated by that, it sure is hell of a good kuay chap.
Nicest one that i've ever had, and for sure, the most expensive one also. As penang food are usually considerable cheap, it cost rm6 for a bowl.
So does it worth it?
It sure does for a kuay chap fan like me, but for those not-so-keen people, save your buck for other stuffs.
There's also a lot of other stalls serving typical penang food. The desserts are good as well.
Where is it?.....I'm not sure of the street actually.
It's a street behind Penang road, the famous Chendol shop.

Got to go now. Assignments are falling more than the bird sh** on my apartment's balcony.

Happy Birthday Mien!

Well, its actually Happy BELATED Birthday to Mien.

Celebrated her birthday around 2 weeks back, didn't have time to update bout it.

Went to Matsuki Japanese Restaurant which is located somewhere near Gurney. Its full address is :

Matsuki Japanese Restaurant
62, Jalan Pemanang, Penang (Cantonment Road) • Tel: 604-229 5504
Opens: Daily from 12.00pm - 2.30pm, 6.00pm - 10.60pm

The atmosphere is quite Japanese-authentic. Wooden layout makes the environment look old but comfortable at the same time. From what i could see, Matsuki comprises mainly on teppanyaki dishes, even though they have sushi bars as well.

We was late that day, very typical us. In fact, we was very very late. The booking was at 7.30pm. We left our house at 7.45pm. It takes around 40 minutes to reach Gurney from our place, you do the math.

Luckily, we still got the room that we've booked previously. Obviously, Matsuki is more for family gathering, old timers and even though it was a Sunday, it was not full.

The food took some time to come, so we took some pics while waiting.

Snapshots

Waited for the food for quite some time actually. Most of us ordered sets, so there's no appetizer or anything help shut our tummy up yet. When the food did arrived, it sure did set the alarm off our tummies.

B'day Cake ~ Choc indulgence

One thing u learn in birthday celebrations........

Never steal the cake from the birthday girl....

or argue with a guy with a lighter

All the girls

All of us

That night quite a night, as its been a long time since we've gathered like that, eventhough we're just a few steps away from each others' house. Overall the place was cosy, food was nice, the pricing is appropriate, the gathering was fun. But what came out of expectation is the outcome after eating the cake is.........unexplainable.

~Happy Birthday Mien~

Steamboat at Macalister

Penang has been raining cats and dogs for the past few weeks. Unlike KL, i'm tugging hard on my blanket almost every night. Because of this, despite the economy crisis, a few of us (mua house mates and frens) have decided to pamper ourselves for a hot steamy steamboat buffet

Town Steamboat Buffet

It is located at No 63, Macaliser Road, 10400 Penang. Its business hours are from 5.30pm - 11.30pm daily. Call 04-2297273 (call after 5pm) for booking as it is always fully booked

7 of us went and it cost RM 19.90 each. For the amount of food they have, it is affordable and they have varieties of seafood, fried stuffs and shabu shabu. They even have satay, ice kacang and lok-lok stalls (in which u must order, but no extra charges). Dim sum are also part of their buffet menu.

Shabu-shabu pot. Honestly we fried most of the seafood.

Shark's Fins Soup. Limited to one bowl per person

Random ppl and atmosphere

they even have a Renaissance background

The best chefs in the world are men. Too bad we don't fall into that category

Overall the place was indeed good. The place is not hot, the food are fresh, lotsa varieties (they replenish very fast) and the desserts are good too (ice creams, guai ling gao, jellies). They even provide a small playroom for kids to run around and not knocking pots down. So to round this all up, I would say one of the nicer steamboat place I've been too.
