This cosy little restaurant is tucked in a corner of one of the oldest supermarkets in Penang, Gama, situated in the middle of town. It is probably the same organisation as the bakery in Gama as the name is the same.
We’ve eaten at this tiny little restaurant a few times and what I like most about the place is the warmth and friendliness of the staff. The food is also reasonably priced and portions are quite okay.
Their most popular dish, fried rice
We usually order their fried rice which comes with an egg and two pieces . . . → Read More: Four Leaf Restaurant in Gama
I’ve been to the Look Yuen Restaurant in Bukit Mertajam quite a few times already and each time, I never tire of their trademark dishes.
Look Yuen Restaurant
They have a variety of dishes to choose from but we always like to order their braised pork leg, fish curry and honey chicken, amongst other more normal dishes.
Fish curry
Their fish curry is slightly different from other places because it is a combination of coconut milk curry with lime. It may sound weird but the taste is really amazing because the sourish tinge actually helps to . . . → Read More: The famous Chinese restaurant in Bukit Mertajam
I am not a fan of roasted duck, mainly because of the tough duck meat and sometimes, if the restaurant / shop do not know how to prepare it, it will have a very heavy pungent smell. However, I do make exceptions for very good roasted duck. Either the duck has been roasted to perfection with wonderfully crispy skin and ultra tender meat or they better have a darn good sauce to go with the roasted duck!
However, I have found two great places with good roasted duck rice and the price is reasonable too in Butterworth. One of . . . → Read More: Roasted Duck Rice in a corner
My tastebuds were given a shock with the latest new age type of cuisine to hit our shores called ‘Molecular Cuisine’. Though it did not sound all that appetising, its name far from did any justice to this type of food.
So, what was so different about molecular cuisine? Well, for one thing, it is like eating food from a science laboratory where normally solid food was rendered to liquid or foam and normally mushy food, rendered solid and firm. It may sound horrid but it was by far the most interesting and surprisingly delicious food that I’ve . . . → Read More: Molecular cuisine
If you have heard of the famous Teochew food especially crab porridge by Cheang Kee Restaurant in Nibong Tebal, make sure you do not go to the wrong one!
We went there recently and had a rude shock when we realised the real Cheang Kee Restaurant had moved to another location while another owner has taken over its old shoplot.
We did not even bother to take pictures of the place (the old shoplot where Cheang Kee used to be) after eating the very first dish, boiled baby octopus. I did not even want to bother with taking pictures . . . → Read More: Don’t eat at the fake Chang Kee Restaurant in Nibong Tebal
I have been to Kim Gary Restaurant at Gurney Plaza several times and since I loved most of the food there, I thought I might as well mention it here. So, we went there again for Mothers’ Day celebration and ordered quite a lot of different food from the extensive menu.
What I like about this restaurant is that they offer quite a lot of variety from different types of rice to noodles. Now, they even have snacks and starters.
We took a trip to the depths of an oil palm estate somewhere near the Kulim Hi-Tech Park and enjoyed some really great freshwater fishes!
We ate FOUR whole fishes! Each fish costs between RM20 and RM38. Not bad considering the size and how fresh it is.
I don’t know what fish these are except that it is freshwater and darn fresh and very delicious, deep fried, covered in sweet and sour sauce and steamed.
The shack that passed as a restaurant where the delectable fishes are cooked and served.
