Penang Road Cendul

Penang Road Cendul

Hey guys, sorry for long time not yet submit those updates. Anyway, I am GenYong here wish everyone happy new year and have a nice day on year 2010! Alright let see what new restaurant or new shop opening this year... Actually if you're a Penangite, you will realize that there was a Komtar Walk that contain a lot of restaurant and shop. There have Station 1 cafe, Penang Cendul and many more.

Komtar Walk outlet.

Come on, today I would like to write a blog post about Penang Cendul. I would like to recommend what features on this bowl of Cendul.

The bigger bowl of cendul served in the restaurant!

They actually is from Penang Road which located at Lebuh Keng Kwee. Now they open their another outlet which just near the originated site, it's Komtar Walk! I think there were not much different except the price and the environment. The Penang Road is just a hawker stall and those customers have to stand and eat and only cost you RM1.70 compare to the shop, you can find a place to sit and enjoy the bigger bowl of cendul which cost you RM2.50! I tried both before which on today and last month!

They located at Lebuh Keng Kwee.

The bowl of Cendul.

I think the hawker stall is more worth if you just want to taste the cendul. If you need a place to make discussion I suggest you to choose the Komtar Walk which just a few metres from the hawker stall. Besides that they also have their outlets at Subang Jaya and Johor Bharu. I think you must go and take a try and comment it!

The Komtar Walk Penang Road Cendul new outlet. The better environment but the same taste! It's original.

Happy Dong Zhi 2009 冬至快乐！

Happy Dong Zhi 2009 冬至快乐！

Morning everyone here, if you're a chinese you sure know today is what festival going on. Anyway, Let me explain to you what you celebrate today. Actually Dong Zhi is a festival which directly translate means 'Winter Coming'. It's the last festival of the year and before Chinese New Year. Usually people will make 'Tang Yuan' (汤圆) on the eve of Dong Zhi. 'Tang Yuan' which mean a little glutinous rice ball.
In traditional, my grandma told me that while children ate one 'TangYuan' they will elder 1 year old.

Just now about 10.00am in the morning I woke up and after did praying to ancestral, I ate one small bowl of Tang Yuan. My grandma used Tang Yuan to pray for GOD! Last night, we did the glutinous balls until midnight 12.00am! In total we did for four colours which means four seasons in whole year. I don't know which colour represent what... XD!

This is an annual festival event celebrated by Chinese. Some of them said 冬至大过年. So this festival it just seems like another Chinese New Year. My grandma later will cook something like Reunion Dinner. So now I ate the Tang Yuan and that means I grow elder! XD.

So have you eaten? Happy Dong Zhi yo~! 冬至快乐！

Curry Mee at Perak Road

Curry Mee at Perak Road

This afternoon my parents fetch me back from the Adventist Charity Food Fair and dropped by to Perak Road. We had our tea time there at the curry mee stall which opposite the Harmony View Apartments there. Anyway, I still remembered my dad had brought me there before to eat the curry mee. But it was very long time ago which the old uncle also passed his stall to a young guy.

My dad recognized the young guy and he always went down to there every week in the purpose to taste out the curry mee. I don't think it's my first time to have the curry mee there. However I more prefer the taste of the old uncle because it taste more original and delicious.

I like this bowl of Curry Mee very much. Although it didn't taste spicy but the soup seems nice! I cannot eat spicy dishes because I will sweat after ate. I love the soup very much and I ate until empty the bowl! Later the Tauke saw it was very happy and asked me delicious kah? XD.

After having my curry mee then I ordered a bowl of sweetmeats to 'wet' up my mouth and tongue. This sweetmeats actually not very tasty but seems I was too thirsty then I quickly drink it finish. I think it was not bad and you can take a try.

For more details to this place, you can simply refer to the map that provided below. Actually it's an opposite the Harmony Square which just completed by Belleview Group. Go and take a try, it cost reasonable and I am sure that's no longer this price can be find in Penang. The curry mee one bowl for only RM2.00(small)! Take a try... Posted by GenYong 01.11.2009

Birthday Dinner at CRC Restaurant

Birthday Dinner at CRC Restaurant

Happy New Year guys! The day before new year eve, is my cousin birthday. He born on 30th of December on year 2005! The day that he born is the day before new year eve. And that year he was countdown in hospital with my aunt.

By the way, last year he also celebrated his birthday as well, but it was at home. My uncle invited us to CRC Restaurant at town city of Penang. I heard from him that he mentioned that he did many surveys from people that said CRC is the best among all the orient restaurant in Penang, are you believe?

Do you been this restaurant before? This was my second time been there since I know the environment. The first was while I was studying primary year 2/3 (not sure).

This was my cousin birthday cake. Is it cute enough for kids? Haha. He love Mickey Mouse Family very much! So the cake always will be Mickey Mouse.

I wondered that how come my uncle will order a shark fin soup(鱼翅) for us. It's costly if ordered this kind of dish. But doesn't matter, because he rich enough! LOL. It's really delicious and there were many ingredients inside. Have a lot of seafood such as crab meat, fish and many more.

This dish was the first and also the fastest we finished it. Why? Because the service was not good and there was too many of customers, so other dishes was lately come!

Next, we have a curry prawn. I don't like prawn very much because I found that's lousy to separate out the shell of prawn, so that it will make my hands dirty. But this changed my opinion, the curry is really tasty if you eaten with some rice!I ate 3 prawns out of 11 prawns!

Besides you can eat with rice, you can also get some bread and eat with it! What we have here is a butter bread. It's slightly oil and have butter smell in the bread. It's different of the whole meal bread! Nice.

I'm not sure that what's this dish. I ate this for only once and I found that there was mixed fried. I think they were frying with meats, vegetables and many ingredients else.

Roasted Chicken? I ensure that you can buy it from Chicken Rice Shop right? No matter is in food court or hawker stalls, the roasted chicken is better than this.
What bad for this dish is because there was not really a good meat of chicken provided. They provided the meat that hardly to bite. That's why!

I like this dish so much! It's my favourite among all the food, I like vegetables with mushrooms and many more. I think every kids will love it right? Eat more vegetables to prevent constipation! That's true!

After blowing the candles, wish for the good. Then my uncle was divide the cake equally and I get a piece of it! This cake was not really special but the taste not bad. I prefer the Secret Recipe's cakes. I hope I get it for coming birthday, still long time to go!

So finally wish everyone here, Happy New Year! Have a nice day on year 2009, Be Happy.
Happy then continue with what? That's sure eat la! Posted by GenYong 01.01.2009

Mat Tou Yao at Jelutong Market

Mat Tou Yao at Jelutong Market

Do you heard this shop before? What's selling there? Is it famous?
Answer is if you are penangite, i think you should know it! It's a popular selling sweetmeats in Jelutong market(night)

Christmas Eve after countdown, my dad drove us to Jelutong for having the supper sweetmeats. However it's already 12.30am, the shop still crowded of foodies. It's really good business for that night.

Wow, this shop is a colourful shop. It's really a 'bright star' at night along the Jelutong market. Have you been there before?

Along the street, beside this shop there also have many of hawker stall. Although it's late at night but they are still serving with some supper for customers. Got fried mee stall, sausage selling stall, Mini bites foods and almost is oriental foods!

It's so sweet and tasty. It's best for realize thirsty at night! XD. One bowl cost RM2.20 but I think the price is reasonable because it contains a lot of ingredients inside and can let you add on honey for more sweet!

Besides having sweetmeats, my dad ordered some light foods it's just like Muah Ji 麻籽. It also not bad, I like it!

After that, we also have two plates of fried mee. The seller really a kind man, put a lot of prawn and fried with a good taste! Delicious.

So now have a new place to go and have your supper rather than always been Old Town or Starbucks. Although here non WiFi provided but the price is more comfortable. No need to spend much you can get more! So you must try out this at night!

Do you know the place? Posted by GenYong 27.12.2008
