International Brunch Buffet at Rasa Sayang Resort's Spice Market Cafe

It was a quarter of an hour driving from town, but the distance was definitely worth the go. Nestled in the midst of Batu Ferringhi was this beautiful resort - Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa.

Western Breakfast at siTigun Cafe

It is dark, roasted, brewed, aromatic, bitter, and in the modern world it is one of the world's most consumed beverage and we're talking about coffee which was first introduced

Western Cuisine at Santorini Cafe

It was curiosity that led me to this place, a restaurant called Santorini Cafe. I think the name itself, Santorini, is really enthralling, and so I did a quick search on the web ( Google, Wikipedia )

Wan Tan Mee at Lye Lye Food Court

It was one of the moments where we were literally in the middle of nowhere, and just being thirsty for liquid after our morning walk, we chanced upon this coffee shop, Lye Lye Food Court.

Spaghetti Carbonara at Food Gallery | Times Square

Finally after almost half a year since the opening of Food Gallery in Times Square, and after somewhat 3 years of not going to Times Square (blame it on Gurney and Queens), we found ourselves parking our car

Fried Maggi at Abu Mamak Stall

So we were on the move again, in search of our good old place for supper at Abu Mamak Stall. We have been here for years now, and we learned that this place was called

Top 10 Rules for Fine Dining

Some people call them etiquettes, some call them customs, but most people call them rules. It is everyone's desire to be invited for a fine dining experience at an exquisite restaurant. But who could have thought that

Breakfast at Kopitan Restaurant

It took me a while to figure out why would this place be named Kopitan, which I think is due to the fact that the name itself is catchy and the name Kapitan has already been used for a nearby indian restaurant. It was on a Sunday morning,

Banana Leaf Rice and Tandoori Naan at Sri Ananda

From Little India, many of you might be wondering, why come up with such a name? To be honest, I think indian food has an authenticity that is truly unique. I believe not many of us penangites actually know more than a handful of indian food, wait, you're thinking about - roti canai aren't you?

Hokkien Mee at Green House Kopitiam

The time was ticking fast. It was getting late. At any moment from now, starvation would be killing us. Needless to mention that we were afraid that at this time, precisely at 11.25 pm, it'll be very hard to find a place to drug ourselves with food.

Top 20 Fruits You Probably Don't Know

Right genius, you probably know a lot of fruits, ate durians or your best friend's dad actually opens a fruit stall. But if you were to stop lying to yourself and adopt a more humble attitude, I would be very humble myself on sharing with you fruits that most of us have never heard of.

Tang Yuan at Sugar Dynasty

It was 9.30 pm and we were greedily hunting for desserts after finishing our dinner. As we were just in the town area, we decided to travel back in time to a dynasty where it is called - Sugar Dynasty (Tang Chao).

Invited Review : Tainan Restaurant at Midlands

I was invited by Chin Wai the owner of this Tainan Restaurant in Midlands Park Centre or popularly known as One Stop along with Dennis and Nick Chan. It was quite a surprise because ever since the developments

12 Facts about Tea

The following is a review by Master Leung Ka-Dong who has worked in a tea house in Hong Kong since the early 1970s. Here are 12 things about tea that no restaurateur (referring to dim sum restaurant owners) would have told you :

Nando's at Gurney Plaza

The first Nando's Restaurant was founded in 1987 in Johannesburg, South Africa. And today, Nando's has already been a worldwide franchise restaurant reaching out to places we have never even heard of - Austalia, Mauritius, Zimbabwe and etc. Reputedly famous for its spices and chicken or more specifically peri-peri chicken, and specializes in flame-grilled peri-peri chicken,

Jawa Mee at Seasons (Vegetarian)

The 1st and 15th day during each month of the Lunar calendar is celebrated by the Chinese simply by visiting temples, praying or practicing vegetarianism. The enigma in many people is that vegetarian food does not taste good or at least not as good as non-vegetarian food, and therefore people only eat vegetarian food when they need, especially during auspicious occasions.

Spaghetti Carbonara at Manila Place

We were lingering around in Gurney Plaza, wanting to celebrate our dear friend's birthday. We couldn't decide which restaurant to go on a Saturday night, and after some indecisive moments, we finally decided to go to Manila Place for dinner.

Laksa and Yam Rice at Seang Tek Road

People often think that in order to promote their food business well, one of the criteria is to have a good location, a hot spot, or a slot where all the commotion is in town. But in Penang, that's not always the case. Good location does not make a food good, but it is good food that makes a location good.

Durian Trip to the Hills of Sungai Ara

At this time of the year, most of us if not all Penangites have one food to hunt in common. Can you guess what is that ? Yes, it's durian and no doubt You Are Smarter Than A Fifth Grader :)

Seafood Popiah at Padang Brown

The wonder in Penang is the people here are very innovative, food wise that is. It's not about giving funny names like Khor Tsu Koon to the the durians, but innovating a local delicacy into it's own signature. And today, we're food hunting for popiah (fresh spring rolls), or more specifically Seafood Popiah.

Curry Mee at Air Itam Market

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, and we woke up early at 7am for something different, something we don't do so often - marketing. It's not business marketing, but grocery marketing to prepare a lot of stuffs for tonight's invited barbeque dinner by the beach. So we decided to go to Air Itam Market,

Wan Tan Mee at Genting

It was early Friday morning and the night before, my aunt and I planned to have our breakfast at our usual place. We have been customers - regular customers for Genting Kopitiam for a long time, dating back to the time when I was still in primary school.

Roti Bom at Sri Ananda Bahwan

It's always hard to find time for each other especially our friends, because all of us have our own errants to do, be it school projects, college assignments or our precious time with our family. The time we could only spend together on weekdays is none other than supper time, where we hit out to places searching of great food to eat and enjoy ourselves..

So that night, we decided to eat something different, something we don't eat so often. While on the road, the traffic was bad and my friend playfully switched the radio channel and all of a sudden, we found ourselves dancing to the music, to the beat ... it was the indian channel ! We all had a good laugh and agreed when one of our friends suggested to hit Sri Ananda Bahwan for supper in Tanjong Bungah.


the backdoor


It wasn't our first time here, but the lightings somehow seemed so different and interesting.





I wanted to order Banana Leaf Rice where you are given free refills of 3 different vegetables and fragrant rice with a piece of chicken on a banana leaf. This indian dish represents the culture of the indians eating with their hands, which is a local indian delicacy where the papadam (indian biscuit) blends so well with the spices and the rice. But too bad it was almost 10pm and the banana leaves had finished.


the menu



As I was quite hungry at that time, I ordered Nasi Goreng Ayam (fried rice with chicken) and additionally we ordered one of our all time favourites - Roti Bom (explosion bread ?).

While waiting for our food to be serverd, I ordered Sirap Limau Ais (lime syrup with ice) while the others ordered Teh Tarik Panas (hot teh tarik).





murtabak (bread with chicken within)


roti bom

The Roti Bom tasted very good, filled with the sweetness of susu tepung (condensed milk) within.


fried rice with slices of chicken


The food was served in about 10 minutes and I must say the fried rice tasted really great and the portion is adequate to be your usual dinner meal. It was a wonderful experience where we experienced food of different cultures.

Prices .
Roti Bom - RM 2.50 a piece
Fried Rice with Chicken - RM 4.50 a bowl
Sirap Limau Ais - RM 1.40 a cup


Bonus .
The place is really cosy and ideal for a more relaxed kind of dining, although I do find it hard to understand the way some of the staffs speak.
This shop is located in Tanjong Bungah, nearly the opposite of the Paradise Hotel.
It is open until 12am at night, and you can find yourself an easy parking slot if you were to park behind, and enter from the backdoor.
