Chok Dee Thai Restaurant

No Comments

How many of you do you actually crave for Thai food? Chok Dee Thai Restaurant. I am one of them without denying I am a fan of thai food because of the spicy and sour taste in their food. Last round when I went to Bangkok with my friend we seriously had like 1 day 6 meals trip that suppose to be a shopping trip that I had transform it into makan trip. 😀

chok Dee Thai (1)

In Penang to find nice restaurant that serve Thai food is actually not many and I can tell you that Chok Dee Thai is one of them. Many of  my friends love this restaurant as I often see them check in foursquare in this outlet. To me, its quite hidden actually as I have pass Burmah Road many times without realizing actually there is a restaurant until last round I was back in Penang, we have a small little makan gathering with my best friend which there are 13 of us.. The usual 2 or 3 will only turn out. That doesnt bother me, as long as I can order many food to eat. 😀

This shop serve Pork! nice ahh~ How can you enjoy Thai Food without pork dishes. On the downside, I find that the pricing is a bit more expensive compare to many restaurants available out there.

This restaurant is not huge but its longish that can accomote limited people in the outlet, best to advice that you head there early if not you have to wait for first round of dinner crowd to get over then only its your turn. We reach early and its quite empty, as the place just got filled within 20 minutes. My best friend know the owner as he is one of the regular there.

Love the decorations of the outlet that resembles some Thai influence even the cute doll also welcome you, Savadeekap~

For a classic drink in Thai Restaurant I usually wont miss their Lemon Grass, indeed its refreshing and the lemon grass taste is quite solid, just as I prefer.

chok Dee Thai (7)

For me, to try out a Thai Restaurant Tomyam I would always go for their clear soup base which is the authentic taste from Thai not the fiery red tomyam we usually have which is only Malaysian style. Clear Chicken Tom Yam did not fail to impress us as Collen drink every sip and keep praising every sip of it. Its a bit spicy after taste, and more towards sour that is why most girl will love it. By far I think this is one of the best clear soup I have come across.  RM19

chok Dee Thai (8)

Green Curry Chicken that is cook to perfection that the curry is not too watery nor thick that just perfect to go along with rice. A few basil leaves to make the taste a bit more kick and a bit creamy taste is just as expected.  RM12

chok Dee Thai (9)

My heng tai Tatt keep asking me lai lai, please feature me, so he take a dish and ask me to snap. Thai Seafood Otak-otak @ RM16

chok Dee Thai (10)

Another dish that I wont miss is the Otak-Otak that one thing we got deceive was it look huge but in the middle the have like a mini bowl to make it stood round. It was cook till the curry well coated with the seafood, a bit creamy sweet and sour, hint of strong basil taste some might love it some do not. To me it was just nice.

chok Dee Thai (11)

This is what Tatt said must have. Their Pork Knuckle which cook in Thai Style. The meat cook till soft and juicy that fork can easily remove the skin and the meat. The fat layers in between, to eat along with the sauce and rice just make it a superb dish~

chok Dee Thai (12)

Since we have clear soup base, as for fish we head for their signature spicy steam fish. All of us just love the soup base, spicy enough yet sour after that. Colleen again keep drinking the soup non stop.

chok Dee Thai (13)

Another dish highly recommended by Tatt is Claypot Prawn with Glass Noodles @ RM45.00. I would personally recommend this too.

chok Dee Thai (14)

Mango Sticky Rice

chok Dee Thai (15)

Thap Thim Krop @ RM4

Overall of this restaurant certainly this Thai Restaurant stood out better in taste and more towards Thai on sour and spiciness. If you are craving for nice Thai food, no doubt that I would recommend this restaurant, just be prepare to pay a bit more as I would say, compare to KL , just cant be compared.

Samsung Galaxy Note – a perfect on the go device

No Comments

Samsung Galaxy Note Technology edge is the trend for the past few years, as you can even see kids with many gadgets, while I guess many of us would want every thing in just a few touch from our personal device and the latest device, Samsung Galaxy NOTE I am seriously impress. For Specification and a glimpse of it (click here). With this perfect size screen of 5.3 inch

A truly small and compact device would be perfect for working adutls like us, something easy to slide into our pockets that we can check email, do our schedule, web browsing, playing games all just in the palm of our hands.

When you got your idea you can take out your device to draw your instant creativity onto the device.

The S-Pen provides you with a very sensitive touch onto the screen that can freely capture instantly all your drawings/sketching.

Look at this video, how amazing S-pen can impress you …

 

Have a build in application that will be ready to manage all your complicated/hectic meeting and schedule.

For a  user like me, especially I am a forgetful person, this device certainly will make my task easier that I can just use the S-Pen to draw and write as I prefer when I needed just in case I forgot.

I am more a heavy user on photo, this will suits me best as I always like to capture food and moments then share it on Facebook, with their instant cropping also I can draw some thing onto the picture, certianly I will make the whole picture looks more funny/tempting! Besides that, when do go travel, can just snap and a quick draw on the picture can send to my other best friend to make them jealous, as what they have miss out. Argh!!! Think of this just make me want this unit badly!

Also my friend like to ask me directions when they are lost. With a simple empty piece of white I can draw out and sketch to them according by sending them the whole picture. It would help my friends easy to get their direction correct.

I have no doubt that this Galaxy NOTE will make another big hit as it certainly holds a lot of key function on this perfect size device of 5.3″. I am in lurve with it~ Why? After you watch the video below, then you will know what I mean.

9 Comments

As early on Friday morning, that one of my best friend suddenly ccalled me during my meeting and just laugh his ass of without saying anything, and keep laughing non stop till I ask him ‘OOIIII…what happen la? Ki siau ahhh (went crazy iziit) ???!!! Then only he cool down.. Bok, you are famous liau!!! saw you in a forum and soo many people commenting on you~ I stunned and I was like don play la (cuz he was know as a joker and prankster). Then if you don believe, I ask the other guy to tag you..I said okok..wait for your good news. . .

So when another friend tag me in FB then I got shock !! oi.. that’s me in the picture and why got number eh? ask to buy toto number ah? Then called back my friend and ask him what is the meaning of this and he told me its related to MCA. I got blurrr again. . .

Well, my dear friends, this is memang me in the picture and for the past 2 days, the picture had been circulated wide enough to reach my friends that as far from Aus, some called me up , some left me in FB msg with different kind of comment. . .:)

One thing I am impress is that, after the news got announce 2 days ago, and online media had manage to get one of my pic in the blog to created and edit, then they choose the pic that I so ngam ngam got take some pictures with them and put in my blog and one of them picture got from my blog (Tiger Crystal Beer Lauching – Click here) and edit as below:

Remark: I have got noting to do with all this, MCA thingy, just so happen to be a victim in the topic. 

To make the thing short and I don know how to read mandarin, by my understanding so far is that, MCA youth is recruiting youth members into their parties and apparently, this 4 young girls are recruited with to show that, in the party got young and old mixture as part of gaining confidence back from the citizen. Well, many reason that MCA is trying to come up with many comments too.

I doubt that girl in both the columm are not the same or maybe my eyesight got problem, anyway, I have no idea.. as that is what being compared . . .

ah Hai, Durian Farm @ Balik Pulau, Penang

No Comments

When comes to durian season, most of my friends and me will go hunt for it, especially those in Penang. KL durians are not bad but I still find Penang durians taste way much nicer with its texture and taste of it. So last weekend when I was back to Penang, I purposely told my dad I wanted to go again to the durian farm when I was a kid to go there eat it fresh then he help me arrange. This is the durian farm I eat yearly when I was a kid till now.

[Update: the farm had sold off since 2017]

Just to let you guys know that Penang Durians life is very short usually is only bout 6 – 8 weeks only and last weekend was already end of the season.

balik pulau durian (0.1)

This is the no name durian farm and as the owner is ah Hai, I would name it ah Hai Durian farm that located bout 45 minutes drive from Georgetown head towards air port then travel the route head towards Balik Pulau. Once you pass Teluk Kumbar is just about 5 minutes drive from there which is half way from the before reaching the top right at the curve corner with this small wooden atap area.

balik pulau durian (0.2)

as daily he have 2 fresh shipment of durians directly from the farm, and if you wish to go hunt for your own durians, you can just tell him and if he allows you to walk in then you can just go, which is just directly behind this shaded area. All of us are waiting for fresh durian deliveries that my dad had ordered

This are all the hungry people . .:D

Best Yam Rice @ Jalan Murthy, Bukit Mertajam, Penang

4 Comments

I guess recently I really eat a lot when I am not in KL, went back to Penang for a short trip to cover one event, then meet a few of my friends that I didn’t manage to meet during Chinese New Year and one of my best friend brought me to this place which I do love Yam Rice at Bukit Mertajam and which is one of her favorite stalls. I never came this far for this only in Chai Leng Park, Butterworth (click here on previous post).

This place is not that hard to find as you need to be very aware which turning to turn in, as the alley to tunr in here is very small . . .

All pork spare parts are available and see which part you like and ask them to boil for you into this ‘kiam chai’ soup.

More like a kopitiam style and its not very hot as they have  a few big fan on the wall to keep us cool . . .

To come till so far, yam rice is a must order as they rice is a bit dry as it needs to be and a few chunks of yam are in the rice, flavorful with a bit of dry shrimp taste too. The best is the soup, quite sour with the ‘kiam chai’ as it needs to be and the soup is not that clear and with sweet taste of all my favorite pork spare parts.

There are a few other mini side dish to order, my friend ask me to try on their ‘Tu Kar Chor’ which I find it nothing to shout about.

A must order is only the Yam Rice and mixture of pork spare parts into the soup.

If I do go back to Bukit Mertajam, it will be one of the stop I will be stopping by. Recommended
