This was my second time dining in a Korean BBQ restaurant. The only other so called Korean food that I tried was Seoul Garden, a typical buffet styled restaurant. Che Go Korean BBQ opened its first outlet in Penang at AEON Seberang Prai City, the largest mall in mainland Penang. Being relatively new, we decided to step in and give it a try.Apart from the ala-carte dish in the menu, they also

A friend from Kangar who had just came back from Japan, invited us to Kuala Perlis for a treat at a famous eatery called Lynda Ikan Bakar & Makanan Laut. Located along Jalan Kuala Perlis; it can be spotted right after the Shell station.We arrived rather early for dinner, so we immediately placed our order and was served right away. This place will be packed by the time the sun sets in. Terung (

Thinking of heading to Ipoh just to taste the famous Ipoh Hor Fun? Fret not, there is an equally good one here at Chai Leng Park and saves you the 2-hour drive up on the highway. This stall is located in Lao Di-Fang coffee shop which can be seen at a corner of a junction along Jalan Kurau.There was a huge banner hanging in front of the kopitiam that featured a newspaper article of this stall.

The only nasi kandar outlet in Penang that I would recommend going to is not Kassim Mustafa, Pelita or any other 24-hour mamak chain; but rather Abu Nasi Kandar! Initially, Abu Nasi Kandar started out selling in a hawkers cart by the road side along Jalan Sungai Dua (opposite Tesco Extra). Then, they moved into Bali Bali Cafe located just a few blocks away. Bali Bali Cafe houses many hawker

Black Canyon Coffee opened its branch at AEON Seberang Prai City last year, the newest mall in Penang. This branch was claimed to be the first in the northern region! Coincidentally, this is also my first visit to Black Canyon Coffee. The interior decor was contemporary and looked very elegant, with high ceilings. You can even see the kitchen which was enclosed in transparent glass windows. Iced

B Garden Cafe was located along Lintang Batu Lanchang. If you are coming from Lam Wah Ee Hospital, it can be spotted at the corner of the T-junction leading to Batu Lanchang wet market. B Garden Cafe is actually a kopitiam which has quite a number of hawker's stalls for you to choose from. The place was incredibly crowded at night.

The latest Kim Gary outlet was opened recently here at Queensbay Mall. My first visit to Kim Gary was some years back at Gurney Plaza. That long huh? After an unappetizing and forgettable experience, I vowed never to dine there again. Yet, there were long queues and hordes of customers at the outlet. I wonder why...

Day 3 of Chinese New Year and majority of hawker stalls were still closed. Surprisingly, Lean Gaik Hokkien Mee was opened for business. It is located at Chai Leng Park, a well known place in Butterworth for hawkers' food. When you are in Chai Leng Park, turn into Lebuh Kurau 3 and the kopitiam (coffee shop) is just opposite the wet market.They serve Hokkien mee of course, as well as Loh mee. For

There was this sudden craving for ikan bar (grilled fish) that landed me here at Hammer Bay Ikan Bakar Special. It was my first trip here after reading about it on other food blogs. It is located right behind Gold Coast Resort Condominium, by the seaside. You can either choose to dine 'al fresco' or dine in a small hut with thatched roof. The outdoor ambience is really cozy. What a splendid view

Chinese New Year's eve. We'll be ushering in the year of the Ox! How about some roasted duck for a start? When I was working in Kulim a few years back, the finest roasted duck within the vicinity was at Tan Kee Roast Duck Restaurant. Obviously, they are indeed very famous as throngs of people from Penang do not mind the journey to Lunas just to savour this dish.Try 'googling' up this place and

Since it was almost 11.00 pm, we decided to go for supper! There were only a few places which open way past midnight. So, to feed our hunger pangs we went to Dhoby Ghaut Cafe. It is located along the main road in Sungai Nibong. Going in the direction to the airport, you can spot it on the left, just after the T-junction.Given the limited space, there were a decent number of stalls selling a

The last day in Hong Kong and we had yet to try any fabulous dim sum meal here. Having said that, the hotel location was quite far from Kowloon or Central. So, we had to settle for a nearby eatery. We decided to go to New Town Plaza, a huge shopping mall located within walking distance from the hotel. Since it was only 8.30 am, there were just a few food outlets open for breakfast. Hence, we

The Festival of the Lion King show tells the story of Simba. A leading lady introduces the show, sings, and tells the story. She also has two monkey-like sidekicks by her side who translate the story into Cantonese.During the show, the stage itself adds some fire effects while the actors are tossing their batons.The finale of the show is great. All four floats move to the center of the stage and

It was a Saturday and there was a lovely cool breeze which is just perfect. The weather that we yearn to experience all year round back home. We planned to visit Central which is the business district of Hong Kong and we took the MTR from Sha Tin station. Although there were less commuters on weekends, we still had to go through two inter-change via Kowloon Tong and Prince Edward to reach our

We had our lunch at China Star Seafood Restaurant located in Energy Plaza, Tsim Sha Tsui East. We were seated at a table with 10 persons and sharing six 'chinese styled' dishes with rice. All the dishes were at most average in taste. Once we were done with our lunch, Freddy told us that Mr.CK would take us to Lantau Island for the cable car ride. Upon reaching the entrance to Ngong Ping 360 (

We woke up early to get ready for the planned city tour which was supposed to be only a half day's tour but it turned out to be a full day's. Anyway, the weather was mostly cool at around 18~20 degrees Celsius. Excellent for going outdoor and sightseeing. The tour bus waited for us at 7.00 am sharp and we took off from the hotel to pick up other tourists. Upon reaching Tsim Sha Tsui, a tour guide

Feeling very excited about my maiden trip to HK, I was up early and we proceeded to Penang International airport for an early check in at 12.55 pm.We arrived at KLIA at around 4.40 pm for the transit flight to HK and had a quick meal at Burger King before the flight. Haha.. just because we couldn't find any of this outlet in Penang. Our flight took off at 6.15 pm. Finally, we arrived at Hong Kong
