When Queenie is in the town Part II- Tambun

After Ipoh trip, while we are heading back to Penang, we stopped by Tambun - 义成海鲜to settle our dinner. All of us is still full and we just order some small portion seafood for tasting purpose.

Look at the eggsssss ..it is damn sinful and I leave it to the youngster..^^

Yummy....fresh!!

Also, order satay for Queenie

The salted chicken that we bought from Ipoh to share with Queenie.

It is a fruitful and fun day for all of us. I would like to personally thanks Queenie for giving us chance to travel around with her. Without her, we are hardly to organize such a trip among us due to our laziness.. ;P

When Queenie is in the town- Part I - Ipoh Trip

My Hong Kong colleague, Queenie was in town last two weeks.
Other than office hour, I am really filled her time with all foods!!
This is not only her 'makan' trip but so do I! Sigh...I really put lots weight on this period.

On 16 September, it was Malaysia public holiday. We decided to bring her out of town heading to Ipoh for food hunting. It is a fun day trip as we are total of 7 persons is laughing all the way from Penang to Ipoh and back. The credits definitely goes to our Ms Ham Ham-> Elaine on her hokkien style cantonese. We have a great day!

Our first station is definitely for Ipoh Dim Sum. Of cause Hong Kong is famous on dim sum but we would like to let Queenie try out our Malaysian style dim sum. This time we brought her to Ming Court Dim Sum instead of Foh San as we feel Foh San has deteriorated lately.

The crowds

Queenie told me she seldom eat 'har gao' (prawn dumpling) in Hong Kong as there is one kind of taste due to most of the prawn there is frozen type. She just loves our version as it taste good. I am glad she loves it!

This order is upon DawChin request as he told us he never try Zhi Ma Wu for his past 25 years!

After the brunch, while we are waiting for the food to digest, we brought her to buy some local souvenir and visiting two caves in Ipoh. End up we as local bought more souvenir than her! After two hours of break, we continue with the Ipoh most famous 'gar choy kai' aka sprout chicken. She loves the 'gay choy' very much. So do I. ^^

Come to Ipoh, definitely couldn't skip the white coffee! hmmm.......



Another thing we have to bring back is definitely the Salted Chicken! Must buy from here instead of others!

Moon Cake version 1.0

Nevertheless, I never forget the traditional moon cake....

Something that we must take care to preserve our heritage....

This is what I carried back all the way from Hong Kong- Wing Wah Moon Cake

Versus our local brand- Dragon I

Moon Cake version 2.0

Home made Jelly Moon Cake by chef mom ^^
Delicious and healthy!!
Happy Mid-Autumn festival!!

Jagung Flavour

My favourite- Coffee flavour!

Delicious @ Stratis Quay

- This is super outdated post for June-

Carmen's treat for my birthday this year at Delicious, Straits Quay.
Stratis Quay is one of the hot spot in Penang nowadays and Delicious is one of the restaurant always full house. Sometimes you may even need to wait for a table at their entrance.
To be honest, their cakes is what caught my attention at first place. If I could, I will just grab all the cakes a my main course as they all looks so tempting! ^^

The Yummy Macadenia cheese cake. Super fat also.

>_<

----------------------------------------------------------------

After my birthday treat, I pay another visit on Merdeka day again with Meow and Kelly as we are craving for desserts after the german lunch. 3 of us order 2 cakes for sharing. Besides macadenia cheese cake, this time we trying their Tiramisu but it is tasteless.

-Coffee Afogado ordered by Kelly-

Macaroon

Our first try on macaroon from Four Season bakery, Kelly's treat.

So-so only. In fact with a bit of disappointment.

Perhaps we are putting too high expectation as they claimed is imported from France.

Or we are not that 'classy' to know how to taste it. ^^

Luckily she bought with deal with nearly 50% discount.

Otherwise our disappointment will be more huge.

Kelly's birthday @ Weissbrau,SQ

Having the belated celebration with Kelly on Merdeka day since everyone is free on this public holiday. Upon the birthday gal request, we are here at Weissbrau German bar & bistro at Straits Quay. This is my first time here but it is not new to me as I've been recommend by friends many times.

Alternatives of German restaurant besides Ingolf

My first try on this German beer-Erdinger.

All time favourite- Hoegaarden

Still prefer this as it is taste lighter and smoother

This is hot appetizer. Taste good....

A must order for German dish- Sausages!

Ribs. Yummy

Birthday gal- Kelly

Seafood @西贡

上个月，趁我上司也来香港的同时，同事用车载了我们去了西贡享用了一顿美味的海鲜大餐！
这里的海鲜实在新鲜到没话说，他们烹饪的技巧也一级棒！简单的调味不仅没有浪费了新鲜的食材，更带出了这些海产的美味！这里的厨师的烹饪技术实在没得弹！价钱也公道！到现在我还回味无穷。^^ 很想再回去一趟，可是要到那里，还真的需要驾车才方便。
