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.
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
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 )
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.
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
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
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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).
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
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 :
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,
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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,
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.
