For the longest time, I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Mizi Bistro at New World Park. In fact, I’ve walked pass that little restaurant many times and wondered at the crowds there. And yes, there are so many great rave reviews on so many food blogs I know that the food must have been pretty impressive.
So, we gave in to our curiousity and plunge right in to give it a try. Since there are so many food reviews about this place, I think I will just post up the pictures of what we ate and . . . → Read More: Trying out Mizi Bistro after all those good reviews
Although the Malaysian-German Society (MGS) here has been celebrating Octoberfest for years now, I had never actually made a point to go to it. Somehow I’d either miss it, forget about it or simply did not have the time to go for it.
So, this year, it is my first time I finally managed to go for the German celebration last night which is complete with loads of beer, naturally. Though I have really stopped drinking beer for years (and move on to wines occasionally), I remember loving the smoothness of German beer way back . . . → Read More: Eat, drink and be merry over at Octoberfest
Being typical Penangites foodie, naturally we’d go looking for some good and interesting food when we went to Koh Samui, Thailand for a short trip. So, what did we eat?
First, we stop at the local market…
The local market near Chaweng
There they sell quite a variety of local Thai food, most of which are grilled or deep fried.

It may seem a bit weird but it actually tasted quite good. After grilling it till it turned brown, they squash it (but did not . . . → Read More: What we ate when in Koh Samui
We have not been to Eden Restaurant in Hutton Lane for years already. Not after one bad incident where the food were absolutely horrid and we decided not to go back there.
Anyway, to celebrate my husband’s birthday recently, we went back there to try out their set lunch. Hey, they have this September promotion where the birthday boy/girl gets to eat for free (provided that you spend over RM50 and they only give free set lunch – the cheapest one, that is).
Nowadays, if we want to go in search of cheap and good western food, it isn’t all that easy to find anymore. I am not even talking about restaurants here, but hawker stalls at coffee shops selling western food. Due to the soaring prices of things (thanks to the petrol hike), most hawker stalls in coffee shops are hiking up their prices too.
A plate of chicken chop from a western food hawker stall could cost up to RM7 per plate nowadays and for what? A tiny piece of chicken with a few scrawny pieces of fries and some . . . → Read More: Reasonably priced western food at Farlim
There is this very famous freshwater prawns restaurant in Sungai Acheh, Nibong Tebal that we occasionally go to. It is about 40 minutes’ drive from the island and if you are staying on the mainland, it is only 30 minutes’ drive.
I never did find out the name of the place and it is like a regular old fashioned coffee shop than a restaurant. It is situated right next to the river and a bridge.
Here is a map to the place. From the toll plaza, go straight and then turn left at the traffic lights. . . . → Read More: Prawn curry next to the bridge
Deep-fried food may not be good for your health but heck, they are darn tasty! I especially like the chicken samosas sold at this stall along a junction at Queen Street.
The fillings are mostly chicken meat, potatoes, onions and spices. The skin is crispy and even though deep-fried, not as oily as you’d expect it to be.
Rating: 7/10
Price: RM1 each
Summary: It is a great tea-time snack but one that you can’t eat everyday because it isn’t very healthy. Besides, the stall isn’t open . . . → Read More: Another great tea time treat!
