Oh Sushi Japanese Restaurant @ Straits Quay, Penang

04/04/2012 No Comments

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!

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 . .

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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~

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

SPicy Soft Shell Roll @ RM 25

Sanma Mentai Yaki @ RM 17.50

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

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

Agedashi Tofu @ RM16

Beef slices for our Sukiyaki . .:D

Sukiyaki @ RM 48

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~

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.

Chok Dee Thai Restaurant

20/01/2012 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. 😀

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.

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

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

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

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.

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~

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.

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

Mango Sticky Rice

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.

Starting from tomorrow, muslims around the world will start fasting for one month and most of the restaurants are taking opportunity to offer best food at the right price. One of the place that we came across which is hidden at Ampang (seriously hidden) which is Intai-Intai Restaurant. Intai-Intai Restaurant Ramahdan Buka Puasa Buffet RM 48 nett. I was curious and ask the owner why this name was chosen, as he said, intai means peek therefore you need to take a peek to know where is the restaurant,the restaurant served Halal Thai food .. . .

Intai – intai offers customer to enjoy in their natural environment with sound of cricket, birds chirping yet a romantic ambiance during at night.

Let’s intai (peek) what does the restaurant have to offer and the nature of the area and a quick tour of the restaurant.

A pond was originally there.

During this festive month, many of the restaurant owners are doing buffet dinner (eat all you can) to offer to all the Muslims and non-muslims to dine and relax at such a great environment.

If you do have a big family, Intai-Intai Restaurant do have a big area to cater up to 30-40 people for one section.

Tables are well decorated too.

If you do go there early, you sure do can take pictures around restaurant.

With me and Ester being there early, decided to camwhore a little.

JoJo Little Kitchen, Pan Mee @ Kuchai Lama

03/06/2010 16 Comments

It is not easy to find something cheap and nice to eat for lunch or dinner, but when me and I my friends keep trying restaurants around Kuchai Lama area, I could not help to notice this shop JoJo Little Kitchen Pan Mee which is always sardine packed with people during lunch time, and according to my colleague, its cheap and nice, that is why its always pack.

Not until recently already do not know what to eat around that area, decided to give it a try at this shop since its recommended by them and read quite a number of good reviews on this shop and they have been opening branches in a few places.

We reach the shop early and nearly all the tables are already occupied. A simple interior, that decorate the place with wooden tables and chairs, walls painted with colours to look cheerfull.

When I look at the menu, the price is reasonable cheap with a standard selection.

If you are a fan of pan mee and chili lover, you will know what mixture of chili should be added into your noodle.

‘Fried Pork’ @ RM 6

A big slice of pork being fried and cut into slices after its done, that the outer layer is crispy and find it that it is a bit overcook, and if they were cook not that long, the pork will definitely taste good, not a bad dish after all.

‘Hot and Spicy Pan Mee’ is something that most people would not want to miss if they are out of idea what to order. The look itself is not does not feel spicy as comes with mince pork, with half boil egg and added chili flakes ourself. Then you mix all the ingredients together, turns out to be very nice, with noodle cook perfectly and the taste of mince pork and chili flakes with sambal did not over power each other. RM 5.80

‘Curry Laksa Pan Mee’ been always one of my favourite and this taste pretty good too, with curry soup is not so thick, chicken is very soft and juicy, and overall it suits my liking. RM5.80

‘Traditional Pan Mee’ that will serve with slices mushroom, anchovies and mince pork. RM5.50

Then we decided to go for something adventurous by trying ‘Herbal Chicken Pan Mee Soup’ which turns out to be pretty good. Soup base of the herbs which is just nice (not very strong in herbs taste) and together with the noodle that cook till just right, my colleague drink till the bowl clean. RM 7

A place that worth a try and recommend for the price, portion and quality, I surely would not mind to come back again.

Please do come early to this shop as when we left around 12.45pm, there are already a lot people waiting outside and waiting for tables during lunch hours to avoid disappointment.

Hung Kee Wan Tan Mee @ Jalan Loke Yew

03/12/2009 No Comments

Hung Kee Wan Tan Mee is one of a classic restaurant that have been operating for more than 40 years in the market. When you talk about such duration, not many operating restaurants are able to maintain that long in recent market. Therefore, it had been a word of the mouth thing from near and far that quite a number of people recommend me about this place or even sometimes in a conversation, they are people mentioning about it too. Even though I pass that shop daily but it did not came across my mind that I wanted to try out until last week, I ask my brother about it and he said it was so so only, but since A lot of people recommend so just try it out.

The classic type of kopitiam style with its marble table and wooden chairs yet if you feel that you need air condition room, it is next to this shop but with very limited place.

‘Kam Kat’ drink is very nice, as it was squash first then add in and created a very nice flavor in it. I had 2 glass of this.

My brother recommend that this is a must order dish ‘Mushroom Chicken Feet’. I cannot deny that what he recommended was good, as the chicken feet and mushroom was cook till very soft. It was flavorful that it taste a bit of Chinese herbs taste yet soak well it. I enjoy eating it.

You can order ‘Sui Kow’ by how many pieces you want as there is not limitation in a bowl. The taste of the soup do not have the wan tan mee feel but the filling in it quite compact yet just taste so so .

‘Char Siew Wan Tan Mee’ is the very normal version of it, if you order this, you must tambah order of char siew as it taste very good. Fats of char siew is 1/3 of the whole piece of meat yet it taste very nice cover with char siew sauce, soft and juicy. I did order another place with extra char siew. The noodle is not that springy as it has to be but it definately have their own ingredients for it as it is quite thin yet not bad.

They were pretty generous with the wantan given on each place as it have 5 pieces in each bowl.

‘Duck Meat Wan Tan Mee’ is not bad too me as my brother like it. To me, I do not like the duck meat as it is mild in taste yet the meat is a bit hard not juicy.

As I remember that most of the stalls have curry version, so I order another extra bowl to try out their ‘Curry Wan Tan Mee’. I love this very much, as the curry is spicy yet not to the extend is flaming hot(I added the curry chili given) , yet the soup base serve is at near boiling point(which I like my noodle soup base to be hot that can burn your tongue). This definitely is recommended by me~

The food there is quite okay and we did enjoy our meal. Total bill came around RM23. It is advisable that to go there a bit early on weekend as the crowd can be crazy yet the parking space is very limited, you can park directly behind the shop alley.
