In Penang, there are a few places bustling with alot of good restaurants that one particular place had attracted many people to visit with their seafront retailing concept which is Straits Quay. I have tried on a few restaurants available and Oh Sushi Japanese Restaurant is one of the latest restaurant that me and my friends went to hunt as they suggested its a great place and he know the chef. Of course I say YES!

Oh Sushi (1)

When I arrived, the interior and the name Oh Sushi Japanese Restaurant sounds pretty familiar only realise that I saw this brand in Mid Valley before and now they have expand it to Penang market that start operation since May 2011 . .

Oh Sushi (2)

Its fully pack on that weekend I went and its like 70% are reserved! Guess that they are pretty well known to Penangnites.

Oh Sushi (3)

Oh Sushi (4)

Oh Sushi (5)

In their menu they have quite a huge range of roll, sashimi and many more to choose from. Price are pretty decent

Oh Sushi (6)

These are all the hungry people that before the picture taken they were already arouse by the smell of the food therefore they attach without waiting for me this round.

Oh Sushi (7)

Start off with some snacks to chew on while waiting for the rest to arrive. Koebi Kaarage @ RM 8 simple fried small shrimps that shower with some salt and nice to munch when it is served hot, crispy and crunchy.

Oh Sushi (18)

Then Tatt say their sashimi is a must order cuz its fresh so we hit on Salmon Oyako @ RM 38. With a few big slabs of salmon and by looking at the orange colour shows its a good sign of freshness and no doubt it is!

Oh Sushi (11)

Volcano Roll @ RM 36 find that its a bit over price with the portion they are charging as I have tried a very good one before with this price. Its too much mayo that not well burn overall its not bad la~

Oh Sushi (13)

Prawns been fried fresh and wrap eat along. While dipping with wasabi and first bite can taste that the prawn meat is still hot. King Prawn Roll @ RM 22

Oh Sushi (17)

SPicy Soft Shell Roll  @ RM 25

Oh Sushi (8)

Sanma Mentai Yaki @ RM 17.50

Oh Sushi (9)

Garlic Fried Rice been fried to fragrant, a bit dry to my linkings and every one just enjoy this. @ RM 13.50

Oh Sushi (10)

The star of the night is Wagyu Saikoro that being serve on a super hot stone, as can still hear the siziling sound after being served a while. The meat is so tender yet juicy and moist. The fats being served along is just perfect and aromatic with their special sauce.

@ RM 56 – Recommended

Oh Sushi (12)

Agedashi Tofu @ RM16

Oh Sushi (14)

Beef slices for our Sukiyaki . .:D

Oh Sushi (15)

Sukiyaki @ RM 48

Oh Sushi (16)

What you do is just take this thin slice of beef and dip it in for a while then you can enjoy eating it fresh! Sukiyaki pot soup is pretty good with a bit salty at the end taste and just cant drink much type as it will be too salty at the end. pretty good~

Oh Sushi (19)

So this is all of us and looking back at my picture, I look like I have gain so much weight back then . .heheh

Overall, the food in Oh Sushi Japanese Restaurant is pretty good yet I still prefer Sushi Tei (available now at Gurney Plaza), my all time favourite~ if you compare this kind of chain together.

In Malaysia, we have many types of Kopitiam, ranging from Hainanese, our traditional weekend joint nearby a market or at your favourite shop most of the time. I come across to most kopitiam have their own style of cooking especially those more to homecook style. Surisit The Thai Kopitiam is the latest joint that offer thai authentic cuisine that start to operate in this industry that hidden right in the heart of Taman Tun Dr.Ismail which is hidden right behind CIMB back area. .

You can find alot of Thai authentic food out there, with one good thing about this place is that you cant find many Thai Food that serve PORK and this is one I come across that makes us keen on it.

Surisit (1)

The kopitiam is easily spotted as its the only kopitiam that operate with pale orange colour lighting and wooden plants and wooden chairs right outside the shop.

If you travel to Thai, a few types of chili will be placed on the table to suits you or to spice you up.

Surisit (7)

Soya CinCau @ RM 7.90

Surisit (8)

Start off our first dish with Pucuk Paku Yam Pla or kerabu pucuk paku @ RM14.90/15.90. I find this dish is very appetizing or maybe I love sour taste to start off with, not only that, this dish is served cold and once start eating eat, I cant stop as it taste sour, little spicy and hint of coconut. – Recommended~

Surisit (9)

Next dish that is served that steal our hearts away instantly is this very fragrant Mun Thod Gapi @ RM16.90/24.90 or crispy fried pork served with their own home made chili. It was good, with its crispy skin, and the texture of pork is soft and evenly seperated out with some slices are filled with fats that some of my friends like it, and I love mine with just some fats. This plate was gone instantly. .  Recommended~ 

Surisit (10)

Kheng Som Pla @ RM32.90 known as  sour orange curry fish with vegetables. Its another dish that not to be miss when dine in a Thai restaurant or usually you would either order this or the fried fish. For soupy fans, you might enjoy this too as the fish is fried first instead of steam then bath with the soup. The crust of it is crispy, then eat along with the sour spicy soup. The soup is pretty additive to me tho . .

Surisit (14)

Pla Neung Prik Ma-Nao @ RM32.90 is another dish that must look out as the fish is deep fried then sprinkle with fine chili, lime, garlic and spring onion on top of it make it a bit challenging to eat as I cant really take spicy. This fish was evenly distributed with some people like to eat the fins, heads as it is very cripsy and fragrant yet best part of all, the fish is fresh as the meat is soft also must eat along with gravy on top.

Surisit (11)

Thai style fried egg omelette or Cha Om @ RM9.90

Surisit (12)

Kao Klut Gapi @ RM14.90/18.90 or belacan fried rice that serve along with sweetened pork

Surisit (13)

Then you just  mix everything in the plate  . . .. The combination of all flavours makes it extra kick, with cili padi, yet you get to taste sour lime as I squeeze both lime on top and young mango, then sweetened pork gravy.

Surisit (15)

We always would prefer go traditional as original tomyam is in clear soup just that malaysians had made it to fiery red style tom yam and we still stick to trandtional ones, comes this Tomyam Ka Moo @ RM25.90. The soup is good as it was cook along with pork and was very sourish just that it was not spicy as we expected, then after that we ask the person, they said this is the standard taste and we can request it to be spicier which we would next round~

Surisit (16)

Torb Tim Krob @ RM5.90 

Surisit (17)

So far,  Mango Pulut (Glutinous Rice with Mango) is offer in many Thai restaurant, this is quite good as the mango is very fresh, soft sweet and juicy, then eat along with soft sticky rice which top with coconut milk that makes it frangrant to eat along with the sweet mango @ RM8.90

Definitely this will be our another Thai restaurant to be in our hit list and we will definately will come back for more, as the chef actually allow us to order things off from the menu or just tell him a budget and he will prepare good authentic thai food for us. Just that need to book 3 days in advance. If you are looking for good thai food, this is one to hunt for. .  Recommended~

A romantic dinner for the night could not be miss by most of the couples yet I have recently discover one of a great restaurant perfectly suits for love birds which is located at the lobby of Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel.

Avanti (2)

When I first walk into the restaurant, I had fall in love with the place with Europe Italian setting is build up with dim light classic atmosphere that create such a romantic ambiance yet relaxing.

The live band is great that will play throughout the night that make as soft background music which is absolutely romantic for couples to sit on the table to gaze at each other, soft chat and enjoy the dinner through the night.

A open concept kitchen with firewood pizza toasting in it..nyum~

Avanti (5)

All tables will be serving with the special bread and for bread lovers, you would enjoy this plain bread as much as I do.

Avanti (6)

One of the thing that I discover another level was the butter, I have learn the new type of butter which is ‘Tomato Butter’ in orange colour, when I slap the half piece of the butter on to my bread I just fell in love with the taste, with butter taste yet nice young tomato taste is mild that blend well with the butter taste, new unique experience and taste.

Avanti (7)

The love menu of the night.

Avanti (8)

‘Lobster Tower served with Zucchini and White Beans’ is the first dish that introduce to us. The lobster is compress into a cylinder to make it stand so solid high and press it down with fork, you can just see all the solid ingredient spread out. Lobster meat is solid yet sweet and eat along with the beans is just something new to me. The texture of the soft creamy white beans is a perfect combination with it.

Avanti (9)

Next we got serve with moist ‘Rigatoni with Ricotta Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce’ is another unique experience for me. Long cylinder cook in creamy cheese sauce had form a mouth watering melt base on the tongue yet eat along with sun dried tomato, added the sourness of it.

Avanti (11)

To ensure you still have strong taste bud for next coming serving, you are serve with ‘Watermelon Sherbet’ to keep the enjoyment refresh. Soft smooth texture with strong watermelon taste that will just melt in your tongue burst with flavor.

The climax of the night was the serving of ‘Veal Medallion with Grape Sauce’ which I do not know what veal is until it got served. It look so nice and delicious till I wanted to eat on the spot immediately. I cannot imagine that the veal is so soft, tender and juicy that one piece of it is enough to kill me away. Eat it along with the grape sauce created another sensational taste, sour yet you slowly munch on the veal created a bursting flavor of aroma in the mouth.

Avanti (14)

Then when ‘Grilled red Snapper served with Sauteed Fennel’ was served it looks more like an angle flying towards me. The red snapper is very fresh, yet its huge, soft juicy meat that eat along with the sauce on the plate is perfect for ladies or non red-meat eater.

Avanti (17)

The last for the night, you will be shot by cupid in da house with ‘Strawberry Parfait with Star Anise Sauce’ that brings the meal to finale.
