Mee Sotong, Hameed ‘Pata’ Special Mee @ Padang Kota Lama,Pg

27/11/2012 2 Comments

[Remark] Its just so funny to see how I write a food blog post 3 years ago as this post was written 2009. Because of the pictures was deleted in blogspot now I have re-visited this place to make it available again. One of my favourite mee goreng – Mee Sotong place.

This is one of my favourite mee goreng stall or I would rate the best Mee Goreng in Penang, came back a few times, but did not manage to eat it, cuz it was close on Sunday and usually came back for the weekend and today, the crowd was suprisingly alot. I mean DAMM alot. I have to wait for 1 hour and 15 mins for this because it was holiday season. Wrong timing to eat.

The pricing consider one of the very reasonable that they are offering with the portion being served. There is usually a queue when you go at, wrong timing. This is the crowd that ta pau, have not include the crowd that are dining in.Those people that ta pau were at least 4 packs and above. Celaka

Tadaa…this is the ‘Mee Goreng Sotong‘ that been served. My favorite. Tambah Pedas pedas. Even though I cant really take spicy but to the hack, it taste bloody nice. The first 3 mouth I am already sweating like crazee, it is just worth the taste. Alot of sotong on top, taste a bit sweet and you have to stir the whole plate up. It has the ‘wok’ taste, not too dry compare to those like eating dry noodle. It only cost RM3.50 for this. (Now RM4)

To those who could not take spicy noodle yet would want to enjoy this famous mee goreng, you can go for one without chili. Usually anything without chili is quite blend in taste. This plate of noodle is flavorful as they are fried with their own special sauce in it and mixture of sotong pull up the taste.

With the noodle served, you people must not miss this stall. directly beside it. Their Signature drink which is…………………..

‘ Coconut Shake’, it doesnt taste so sweet, have a very strong coconut juice taste, with vanilla-ice cream and of course the coconut meat in it. Only RM 2. It is very famous among all the patrons there.

and for this last drink as being regular, the taukeh very nice, make me 1 very special refreshing juice which is called ‘Limau Shake’ which not many people know about it. After having those spicy food. This will be the perfect drink to go along with it. You will have the feeling ahhhh…so satisfied. RM1.50 for this wonderfull drink

Besides those, Ice Kacang in this stall seems a hit to many people, just that I do not really prefer it. Different taste bud.

Great party at H-Artistry Finale 2012 @ MIECC

21/11/2012 No Comments

On the 3rd of November a sensational culmination took place at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre making the trilogy ended with a big bang. The Global Art of Mixing Trilogy is the event that took place on the day that I have been always looking forward for this event and never miss it for the past 3 years. Its a event with an extraordinary mix of stellar musical acts from across the globe, a trademark H-Artistry atmosphere along with their signature drink.

It was a rainy day and it never stop all party people from flocking this place. I am surprise that this year, many people are early. This year the surely have slightly different set up compare to last year and forgive me, I forgot to take picture on their best service of all is they are subsidicing taxi service for party goers which I am totally impress.

Grand entrance to the Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone is pretty cool making it so 3-D

This round Robert change his look, So Korean . .

At Photobooth with the siau poh’s

After walking out the photo booth area, I am like Whoaaaa. . Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone is so packed~ Never knew that so many people came this early and found out that the main arena actually have not open to public yet and every one is here drinking and mingling.

Nowdays girls are picking up DJ-ing and its so coool . ..

Usually people will kill of their thirst at the counter first . .

best part of all is their 360 degree cam. This round I decided to skip cuz the queue is so long.

Free flow Hennessy till 12am babeh~

Then main arena open for access and one thing I am stunned for a moment is the stage with 4 frontage. I am totally amazed! We are shifted here as the act is starting soon .. .

Alot of Hennessy counter being set up around the area. . .

Head to our blogger Zone O to park ourself there. Of course I found a spot this year by being early.. Kekeke . Love my spot with perfect view of the stage and I love those waiter and waitress that night keep serving alcohol to us till no place to put any more cups. They are so nice that once see our empty glass and replace for us. They also know what we drink.. Wkakakaka. . .Auto refill mode on at my table. .

Nicole is the early bird that reach the area and happy to see her around.. a person that really hard to date. .

Caroline is the person who always come to event early sit and rare gold fish for the rest of the night. This round she with her best friend Nicole also.

Saw along Frank, Kelly then drinkaholic Anna. . and me

With Li Ping

Great party like this how could not have my best friend around with Evonne and Karen

Other party kaki and always to have this bunch around henry, Anna, Chou Yin, Kelly and Benjamin (behind)

My friend that havent seen them for quite a while ..

At the stroke of 10pm, the crowd quickly shifted into the party arena, and energy levels were pumping in sync with the crowd’s excitement, shrill screams of the female K-Pop fans in the crowd were Block B, who immediately broke into song and dance with their infectious track “Nilili Mambo”.

Showcased their rap, vocals and dance prowess to put on a stellar demonstration of the quality and showmanship of K-Pop music is.

As Block B bowed out, the next artist to take the stage was Alexandra Burke, who immediately stamped her vocal authority as the prima donna of the night. Among the highlights of Alexandra Burke’s performance were live renditions of “Heartbreak on Hold”, “Elephant”, and her hit track “Bad Boys”, featuring Flo Rida. However, the crowd exploded in exhiliration when Alexandra Burke invited Block B up on stage for an exclusive H-Artistry collaboration.

Along some other performance, I am seeing more and more familiar faces arriving the scene with Samantha . . .

Simon Seow

New faces at this party zone Yuki, Don, Me and Joanna . .

Hehehe, and my best friend Karen bring her signature lighting cube to light up our drink with blink blink that making so many people envy on our table. That’s how we got our extra attention . . :p. We even crack a joke to people that main bar is giving away and there are actually people went to ask for it. :d

with 2 awesome fellow that we got close so quick that I know them not too long but it feels like I know them for ages. Me, Nate and fiancee Yuki . .

The main public floor is getting more and more pack as it hit 11pm . ..

Then Evvone found her best friend and found out that actually P zone is more happening and we shifted down and only head back to my table when need drinks .. kekke~

How can this party be complete without my old timer hard core party pack goer for 3 years already. Jennifer and siau Eric.

Another surprise with my lovely Esther and her best friend Shantee. . .

Weet, great to see Simon around too as he disappear for quite a while ..

As the night flowing, with more act and performance coming up only set back is I have to leave early for my next day early photoshoot. This is the first time I walk away from this scene walking straight.

This year H-Artistry finale is just awesome and they really never fail to impress with this amazing stage and they have set themself a great new height to us for party goer and I really love the staging. Cool friends, best friends, new friends in this party scene, what can I expect for? Only one thing, Looking forward for more in year 2013. :p

In the end we took their taxi service and price reasonable reasonable as heading back to friends place at rate at Old Klang Road for RM 38 if I am not mistaken, without fear of getting drunk and stop by road block .:p

Balik Pulau Best Laksa @ Penang

20/10/2011 10 Comments

I have read alot bloggers or my friend mention that we should go to Balik Pulau for laksa. I cannot even remember when was the last time I head there for meals. All I know that Balik Pulau Best Laksa do have cheap meals which is like 30-40% cheaper than normal hawker food available in Penang, there is certainly one of the destination to head for.

It was until few weeks ago, decided to head there again to visit the small little town located at another side of Penang.

When we reach,I just got to know that the market is under upgrading work and the laksa stall have move to the corner kopitiam which purely sell only laksa that located right at the T-junction if you are coming from Paya Terubong direction.

Looking at their stalls, with some advertisement, they had been feature food guide and newspaper.

Like any other laksa, the stalls is fill with lots of noodle, and other ingredient to be added in.

Its hard for you to find table in the shop, as there are many people that purposely came by for this Laksa only.

One of the signature drink you must try in this coffee shop is that ‘Fresh Nutmeg Juice with Asam’. I used to hate anything related to nutmeg as I dislike the smell and taste of it. Slowly I learn to drink and overcome hate of this drink.

Well, this drink is very refreshing, fresh and its pure whereby I think they used at least 3-4 nutmeg to blend in it. It was a hot day and this drink was a thirst quencher, that this drink is also good for health. I had 2 cups anyway. . 🙂 Recommended!

You can do take away for the fresh nutmeg juice, which is very pure blended and need to be add on with some water. cost RM4 & RM 8 if not mistaken.

In this stall we order 2 version of its laksa, One is ‘Siam Laksa’ which is a bit more creamy or lemak as they added in coconut milk into it and I one of the catch in this the noodle, which is soooo smooth and a bit chewy.

Next is the normal ‘Asam Laksa’ that I like about it is, the fish are smash into very tiny pieces then every mouth you drink on the soup, you sip along with the fish. I prefer this version rather than clear soup with big piece of fish added on top.

Among those 2… I prefer Siam Laksa as not many places can cook very nice siam laksa, as the normal laksa, I had better ones. For me, I would recommend their Siam Laksa if you do come so far. . .

More details of the shop and history you can read in this blog: mywisewife.com

Taiwanese Bubble Milk Tea – Gong Cha (貢茶) @ The Gardens

20/07/2011 No Comments

It seems that Taiwanese bubble milk tea seems like the latest trend to hit in Malaysian shores. First was Cha Time to boom in the market, then few months down the road, next brand that my friends talk about is this latest brand in the market Dong Cha which is also origins from Taiwan, also I realize that there are a few more brands opening up within this 2 months. . Gong Cha (貢茶) which origins from Kaohsiung in Taiwan since 2006 then start from 2009 they have bubble to Asians countries like Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and a few more. Hit to Malaysia few months ago

This is how Gong Cha outlet looks like in The Gardens, Mid valley which located at 1st floor if I am not mistaken it is located on 2nd floor on Paparich/Digi/Maxis that wing.

This on the wall would be their signature drink and its the same like all Taiwanese bubble milk tea, you get to choose your level of sweetness level – no sugar, 30%, 50%, 70% and full sugar.

Seems like they are quite famous for their Signature Milk Tea and the ways to drink it:

Milk moustache – without stirring, sip the freshly brewed tea from top layer of milk foam.
Tea off – without stirring, slurp the tea from the bottom with a straw to savour the freshness and complexity of the tea.
All in one – Stir both layers together and enjoy a perfect blend of milky froth and aromatic tea!

So I ordered and tried their signature drink which I am quite satisfied when I order in their another outlet in SS15.. Since I want to intro this to my friend we decided to try out this branch . .

I would say that I am just very disappointed with the drinks that they have in this branch compare to the one I tried in SS15 as the taste differ so much. My friend just had her Oo Long Tea a few sips then she gave me the whole cup and I tried it, its like putting milk in plain water and stir it.. Then I throw it away. The Green Tea I had was quite disappointing as well . .

To me I find it weird that how can the quality differ from both branches? I guess that their worker did not train well to mix the whole ingredient well . . Well well, I should give them another try on their Gardens outlet again . .

Besides that, some of my friends prefer Gong Cha over Cha Time. . Depends on your preference oh~

Enjoy Hong Kong Desert at My Honeymoon Desert @ Kuchai Lama

19/04/2011 No Comments

I remember when I came back from Hong Kong for holiday few years ago, and I was craving for Hong Kong desert after that, until I saw one of the outlet that started back in 1-Utama and from that moment the interior was very nice yet the desert was not impressive. Over the years, they have grown stronger and now, that they had a total of 6th outlet with the latest laid in the heart of Kuchai Lama.

My Honeymoon Desert is known for their using finest ingredient to make this Hong Kong Style Desert.

When I walked into the shop, I thought I walked to the wrong outlet as I didnt know they have redesign the whole concept and with this their latest outlet is one of their latest design to be more vibrant, cozy and more young and tredy which we really like the new look of it.

Trust me, you can just go empty stomach in this shop and flip through at this massive range of desert which I think offer more than 70 types of desert.

As I saw in the menu, the special tea section sure do caught my attention with its photo in it, then I ask the lady to recommend me what is special or what is her favourite then comes this ‘Only You Tea’ @ RM 4. When was served that time, we were very curious what is this bebola so special then the girl just smile and ask us wait patiently, few minutes later, the whole bebola like bloom with other flowery ingredient in it. . .Taste very refreshing, sweet and nice in aroma. . .

Frames Cafe @ Sunway Pyramid

23/02/2011 No Comments

Usually in a mall we do not really know what to eat, as in Sunway Pyramid I do have a few favourite restaurants in this mall especially on their Asian Avenue side and last week, my friend had organise a makan session at this outlet called Frames Cafe that located directly at the main entrance or infront of Starbucks. . .The last time I came here for yum cha with friends this cafe was still called Friendster Cafe which I am very sure most of you would know it. .

Now they cafe do have outdoor area which is perfectly suitable for smokers and not only that, they do served beer too and have happy hour for that. Do drop by to find out more. .. . ..

The interior of the cafe is simple and nice as they decorated their whole wall with pictures in Frames that’s how their name came out. We also got to know that those actual pictures were not bought or download from internet as it was actual piece of photographer that they known or their friends of the owner of the cafe.

This sofa area sure look comfy to sink my butt on it.

Check out their price for beers to test on your eye . . .:p

At the strech of the photo or any photo around the cafe that you actually feel that you really like the picture and want to purchase it, they do sell and just ask for assistance.

Food range is very simple yet I saw quite a few dish I have in my mind to order which mostly their Chef’s Recommendation. 😀

Signature G Frost @ RM 8.90 which is one of their signature drink and with your Malaysian summer weather heating up, it is indeed very refreshing yet not too sweet. Nice.

Watermelon Lychee @ RM 8.90

Mango Lychee Kaffir @ RM 8.90 is one of the unique that combines with Kaffir yet not many people enjoy the taste of it and I find it quite okay . . . If you are advanturous, you should give it a try.

If you are a chocolate addicts and I would want to Recommend this drink Choco Berry Shakes @ RM8.90 that it is so addictive yet very nice aroma of berry in it, not so thick as I chat with my friends and keep sucking on it and the glass got emptied in just less than 5 minutes.

Fish Burger – which is their signature range comes with Deep fried dory with homemade tartar sauce, cheddar cheese, bull’s eye egg and caramelized onions. Served with tomato salsa and steak fries RM22.90 Good~

Beef Burger – Homemade beef patty with cheddar cheese, pickled gherkins, bull’s eye egg and caramelized onions, served with tomato salsa and steak fries @ RM 22.90

Chicken Burger – Homemade chicken patty with cheddar cheese, pickled gherkins, bull’s eye egg and caramelized onions, served with tomato salsa and steak fries @ RM 22.90

Diablo – Spaghetti tossed with olive oil, coriander, chili flakes and sautéed seafood is something healthy yet giving your taste bud a test on holding on the spiciness of it. It was not that bad afterall and comes to I quite like the simple taste of it @ RM18.90

This Chef’s Recommendation is also going to be my Recommendation as I have always love Carbonara range but I have never tried on or seen one before that have Spicy Seafood Carbonara – Spaghetti tossed with cream, chili flakes and sautéed seafood @ RM 19.90. Just perfect sauce texture which is not too salty that can coat all the sauce along with every spoonfull of spaghetti that I eat. Lurving it~

Trio of Pan Seared Tuna, Mediterranean Lamb Ragu and Crusted Salmon

Affagato @ RM 7.90

After a perfect spaghetti would always love to have coffee to go along before ending my meal and if you love ice cream to be inside your hot strong coffee then this is one of the option.

Cappuccino @ RM 8.90

Iced Cappaccino @ RM 8.90

Chocolate Brownies is so addictive with its powerfull chocolate taste and add on with the chocolate fudge and top with Ice-Cream is definately hard to resist. Recommended~ RM12.90

Chocolate Mouse @ RM 12.90

Sticky Date Pudding @ RM12.90 .
