Dome Cafe

This are one of places which I need not introduce to Jonathan huh..? hehe..but Im introducing it to everyone else..although its actually an "old" restaurant,which is well known by everyone on earth..but somehow it is different to me..cause I used to work here at Dome Cafe located at Island Plaza in Penang..working there was a enjoying experience..and somehow tiring as well..during the weekends especially where we even postponed our lunch,..Remember that? hehe..

Well..above are some of the pictures of the food served in Dome Cafe..or rather a few of their specialties..Too bad there are no pictures of drinks..as they serve a variety of drinks on the menu which are really good..such as the Apple Crush and the Cranberry Cooler..both are my favourite while I was working there..hehe..

The first picture shown is the Spicy Olio with a choice of pasta of Spaghetti or Linguini,and also a choice to top off with Bacon Bits of Turkey Ham..this item is one of the most popular dishes in Dome..when I was working there..those new comers and also regulars will order that..and we mostly recommend it to our customers when they are asking for pastas..

Next one would be the Carrot Cake..which is One of my favourites..MmmmMmm..the Cream on top is the best part and goes well with the carrot cake..it is best served when its slightly hot and fresh..looking at it makes me wanna eat it now too..hehe..

Then there is the Nasi Lemak with a choice of Beef Rendang or Chicken..it comes with Rice,Prawn Crackers, Peanuts, two hard boiled eggs, sambal and cucumbers..this is one of the most worth it dish to order here in Dome..cause its very filling and appetizing..both the beef rendang and the chicken are really tender and i think i love the beef reandang..hehe..

There is also the Chicken Pot Pie..another famous dish in Dome Cafe..this cost around Rm19.90 per plate..if im not wrong..hehe..kinda outdated on the pricing..but somehow also worth it to order..it comes with a bowl of creamy soup with chicken,corns and mushrooms in it..and topped of with puff pastry,on the side dish..there are vegetables which consist of tomatoes,carrots and brocollies cooked in butter..Mmm..Sounds good huh?

The rest of the dishes served are The Lot Burger, the mix grain Sandwich, wild mushroom soup, Ceasar Salad which comes with a sour sauce which taste really good with the salad, and even some side dishes such as sausage rolls and puff pastries..

So peeps..go try it out..=)

THE FORUM Chinese Cuisine

Im back again..been so busy studying for exams..and no time for blogs..but today finally I have the time to write a post just after dinner..Had a great time tonight with my mum,dear,uncle and my aunt who is back from KL...its always nice when she is around..hehe..

Tonight we went to The Forum Chinese Restaurant located at Fourth Floor Island Plaza..Its a very nice place for wedding dinners..but at the same time..also a good place for dinner and breakfast,they do serve Dim Sum as well for breakfast..and maybe if I have the chance someday I will take pictures of the dim sum,cause nowadays I seldom go there for breakfast..hehe..but anyway..I might not be posting any of it too..will tell the reason later after I talk about the food..hehe..

We ordered a plate of Napa Vegetables which is called Nai Pak in Cantonese..for those who doesnt like vegetables like..ahem Jonathan,he should try this..it is different from other vegetables cause it is sweet when you eat it..and its juicy as well..normally vegetables are slightly bitter but those who wants to start having vegetables..should try it..especially here at Forum,it is stir fried with Garlic and goes well with steam rice..

Then my uncle ordered a Salad prawn,which is one of my aunt's favourite dish,it is deep fried prawns with crispy batter topped off with Mayonaise and Egg Roe (orange eggs used in Japanese Sushi) and at the bottom of the Salad prawn..it is garnished with Green apples in mayonaise again..Yum,..taste so good..and it can be a dessert too when you are finished with the prawns! Few years ago..they have even more fruits..like Kiwi,strawberries and mangoes,but now..I think they are cutting cost..and left with green apples only..haha

The next dish is one of the best,cause It taste sweet and salty at once..and it is a special dish too.. its called Lotus Roots(Leng gau) deep fried wtih Salted Egg yolk,Yum..its so crispy when you chew it..and it doesnt have to be eaten with rice..you can eat it as a snack too when you having Dim Sum during breakfast..Something worth it to try..cause it is different..

This dish that Im going to write about is a common one..Called Sweet and Sour Pork,in Cantonese we call it Ku lu Yuk,usually it is one of the common and favourite dish ordered when someone visits a Chinese Restaurant,one thing good about the one in Forum is that the pork pices are cut into small pieces..I dont like it when it is served in Big and chewy pieces..hehe..thats why I like the one in Forum..

The last dish we ordered would be the Beancurd with Brinjals and and vegetables..also another common dish ordered in Chinese Restaurant,but today it is slightly more salty than usual..the best one would be in The Midland Chinese Restaurant in One Stop,which also I would not be writing about in future..hehe..so too bad..however this dish is sometimes served in a hot plate(tee pan) style..which I think would be better...

Anyway..lets get to the part about why I wont be writing about food anymore..There are few reasons why Im going to stop blogging about food..but Im not going to tell..Actually I planned to close the blog but since Jimmy suggested I convert it...then I think its a good idea too..hehe..

However,I wont start about it until next year in 2010,cause my exams are coming up..and it will finish on the 15th of Dec,and might be travelling after that if everything goes as planned..but I already have an idea what to write about..hehe..and its a secret..so wait for it..for the mean time..I might continue to post about food..till the time comes when I should stop..=)

Dedication to friends and family..

Hmm..nothing much to write about food these days..or perhaps a good thing I should include something else besides food..as Jimmy is being haunted by my blog..haha..but thanks for reading my blog..Im *touched*...lets hope those fishes dont haunt you again..hehe..

Been wanting to post about Hard Rock Cafe..but didnt get the chance to go again..haha..somehow regreted I did not take a any pictures the last two times I went..but Its okay..Will write about it real soon..Stay tune Mr Jonathan..

Well..what Im going to talk about today is a call I received last night..its from my dear friend Cassandra..she told me she is coming back to Penang in December..but on the 12th and so on..Sobs..I have exam on the 15th..if only she can come back on my birthday instead..hehe..then we can go for lunch together and catch up..Honestly..I do miss her alot..Miss those times we hang out when she was in Penang..years and years ago..haha..Sounds like Im so old now..Hopefully I will be able to meet her when Im down to KL in November for a day..

Anyway..She looks and sounds happy to me last night..(because we were using Video Call)..I guess she is happy with someone now..and Im really glad for her..Cant wait to meet that person too..hehe..So cassandra..be sure to introduce your darling to me..=)

Okay..thats all for now..Im so tired from cleaning the house..and washing away..cause Mum's not around..Hope she is enjoying in KL..(and may God keep her safe,healthy and happy..Amen)..hehe..Im gonna get some rest now..till then..see you guys soon..!

45 Degrees at Summer Garden

Ahh..Been a few days Im away from my blog..Dont have time for blogs during weekends..hehe..
well..last week on Saturday, dinner was at Summer Garden,located at Lembah Permai,Tanjung Bungah,for those coming from vale of tempe, its on the second turning on the left,the restaurant is located just around the corner..you wont miss it..for my friends,its on the turning of entering Jade's old house..=)

Let me introduce a few of the food we had there..Mum ordered a Ceasar Salad for dinner and Carrot Soup for appertizers,Although you may say that salad is not enough for dinner, it is actually filling,cause there is chunks of chicken meat in the salad,and the Carrot Soup comes with garlic bread as well. One thing about the carrot soup..it has a touch of lemon flavour when you taste it..(before that, I was wondering what kinda taste is that..? Cause its yellow in colour!) hehe..
Apart from that,mum ordered a cup of cuppacino as well, It looks really nice..! MmmMmm..

As for me and my friend Jacquelyn,we ordered a plate of Fish and Chips,which cost not more than RM 18,the fish batter is crispy,something different from normal western food fish and chips,but one thing about the chips, I dont like it,cause its like a cheap cost chips..haha..if you get what I mean..

Then my dear ordered a plate of BBQ Chicken, to me..this is one of the best dishes served at Summer Garden,the whole part of the drumstick is served to you, and the BBQ sauce taste so good, sweet and tasty..hehe..I can say you will have a good meal if you order this..and it cost only RM 22..

As for my uncle, I cant really remember what he had, cause his was served the last among all,and I was busy eating AGAIN to take any pictures..hehe..think he had pork,and it looks good to me..hehe..

Actually the pricing in the menu, is a little funny or rather weird, cause there is a grilled lamb chops which cost only RM 28, and the BBQ chicken cost RM 22, just RM 6 difference..Isnt lamb suppose to be much more expensive..? They do serve other types of lamb,such as Lamb Shank,which cost around RM 40++,isnt there a big difference?

But for those who doesnt like Western Food..they do serve something else..which is Japanese Food,they have Unagi with rice, Nabeyaki Soba/Udon and a few more japanese dishes,or perhaps if you feel like having something light, the Summer Garden Sandwich is good too, served in small pieces with,turkey ham,cheese and vegetables..As for desserts,you should try the cakes,something different from other cake sellers, such as Kahlua With Ice Cream Cake,Tolberone(did I spell it right? haha) Chocolate Cheese Cake(this is the best) and Horlicks Cake..

The place is decorated with a jungle/forest feeling,on the outside of the restaurant, you cant see lots of plants around,its actually nice,but as long its free from insects(UGH!)..During the night,its actually kinda romantic to have dinner for couples..ooOoo..

Thank You! Praise the Lord..

Ahh..actually I wanted to post this before the KoFu Loft thingy..haha..Anyway..just wanted to say thanks to the Lord for answering my prayers yesterday..hehe..well..what did i ask for..? Thats a secret..=) So for those who never believe in God, you Should try praying and asking Him for guidance..He really did help me..and made yesterday one of the best for me..

And another two person would be my friends, Connie and Khai Sin, thanks to them for hearing me out the other day..hehe..although I dont think they read my blog..haha..its ok..this post is to thank them..and of course..Mr Jonathan as well..thanks for the encouragement all this while..always ask me to "smile..smile.." haha..now Im Smiling..thanks alot..keep following my blog aite..hehe..thanks for those comments and support on my blog..

Ko-Fu Loft

Yesterday night..dinner was at Ko-Fu Loft,located in Gurney Plaza on the fourth floor of the old wing..for those who had been to The loft previously..should know where its located..The price of the food is reasonable for a restaurant..in total..we only spent around Rm 93..The food they serve reminds me of Sesame at G Hotel and Xuan Xin restaurant at the New Wing in Gurney Plaza as well..Im not gonna write anything about that..although I've been there before because personally I dont really like the food there..but for those who like to know more..refer to my friend's blog (evonlai9966.blogspot.com)..=)

Now..lets talk about the food..Actually you can find varieties of food in the menu..but mainly..its all Chinese food..they have dim sum too..and wide range of choices as well..but me and my family felt like having rice..so..no dim sum for us..haha..but please..do try out..the dim sum if possible..seriously looks good..

So..we had rice with a few dishes instead..sort of a "Chu Char" style..The first dish we ordered was the Oriental Stir Fried Apple Chicken..I must say this is the best among all the dishes we ordered..the aroma of the chicken is so tempting..and it goes well with the chicken..its the first time I had something like this..and when the chicken is served..it looks exactly like how its shown on the menu..*applause* for that..hehe

Next we ordered a Stir Fried Beef with Onion..hmm..looks good..but taste quite normal to me..still prefer the one served in G Hotel..because this one..the beef is not that tender..but its still chewable and edible of course..but one thing..the beef is not cut into pieces..its all joined up..and we gotta cut them ourselves..haha..but still..i can say overall..the beef was not bad..

For vergetables..we had Tofu cooked with Needle/Straw Mushrooms and carrots..this mushroom is one of my mum's favourites =)..again..this is a normal dish to me..but its taste good..well..at least its tender..haha..of course it is..its tofu..and another one is Water Convovulus(Eng Chai) Sambal Style..this is a common dish..but compare to other places..the sambal is delicious..really goes well with the vege and rice..but I didnt take a picture of this..cause it was a dish we ordered later on..and Im busy eating..hehe..

Then my mum ordered two bowls of soup..Its actually for one person per serving..but we share it instead..First one is the Water Crest(Sayong Chai) with dates soup, this one is my uncle's favourite, and the other one is the Old Cucumber Soup, which is good for cooling the body..and its more than enough to share among four people..

For desserts, there are many choices..there's Chendol, Ice Kachang and many more..but we ordered the Jumbo Mango,which is also enough to share among four..So dont be greedy while ordering..hehe..lucky I wasnt greedy..else we cant finish it..erm..this dessert actually reminds me of Kim Gary's Snow dessert..but this one..is only serve with mango compare to Kim Gary's they have more choices there..thou its not as good at the one in Kim Gary,this one is not bad too..as they put milk in the ice..and at least its not tasteless,and its nice when you eat it with the mangoes..hehe..

So,my friends,go try it out..previously when it was The Loft,I wouldnt recommend you to go..but this time..the food is different..taste even Better too..!! thats the major difference..=) I wouldnt have tried it if it wasnt for my Mum, cause I came across the advertisement in Gurney many times,but never bother to try it out..but..I guess..no regrets..glad I finally tried it..

And also for those who would prefer to have individual meals instead of sharing..you can order fried rice..they also have noodles like those "wan tan mee" style and also porridge as well..
