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the Chicken Pot Pie..another famous dish in Dome Cafe..this cost around Rm19.90 per plate..if im not wrong..hehe..kinda outdated on the pricing..but somehow also worth it to order..it comes with a bowl of creamy soup with chicken,corns and mushrooms in it..and topped of with puff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..=)
