Finally had the chance to pay them a visit last week. There aren't many tapas bar here in Penang and this is one of the first ones known to me. The Spanish dish I recalled most is the Paella (pronounced "pa e ya") which was introduced to me by my Spanish classmate during Uni days.<br />
<br />
Tapas are a wide variety of snacks and appetizers, therefore don't expect huge portions.<br />

Walaa...this is the wine cellar! Not much of a choice but I found myself a nice vino. The wine list is concentrated on new world regions with light to full-bodied varietals from major wine producing countries of Australia, Chile and Argentina. I wished there were more variety, after all their cellar looks quite empty. </div>

Ordered this 2006 cabernet sauvignon from Famiglia Bianchi of Mendoza. At rm130+ I must say it is value-for-money. This wine has a nice aroma, well-balanced with a pleasing finishing and even though it is full-bodied, it paired well with our dishes. If only they can decant the wine to let it breathe slightly and serve it in larger wine glass bowl :(</div>

Looking forward to another visit to this place sometime in the near future. Wanting to try the Sangria in a jug and other tapas variety. Oh ya, Tong Pak Fu is nearby so leave some room for a sweet dessert. Muchas gracias :)</div>

What I liked is there are many side dishes like pork ribs, crisp pork, porkballs, fish balls and many more. There aren't many hokkien mee here with such variety. Prices starts from rm4 for a large bowl with surcharges for its side dishes ranging from rm1-rm2. The outlet is still new so cleanliness and comfort is not an issue. Staff are friendly unlike the 888 hokkien mee nearby. Another new place to add to my lunch list.<br />

It is one of the many stalls operating at the corner coffee shop just opposite central park apartments. <br />
<br />
I've read reviews that their hand-made meatballs are a must try! It's fish-based soup is sweet but the ginger a bit too much for my liking. The sukiyaki sauce is good but is not the best I've tasted. <br />
<br />
The coffee shop is breezy and ventilation is excellent. I would avoid the seats under the tree if I were you. <br />

<br />
Fancy having scones and tea in cool climate with a view to behold?<br />
<br />
Then you should make the trip up Penang Hill to dine at David Brown's restaurant. With the new funicular completed, it will take only a 5-minute trip to the peak as compared to a 30-minute ride before. The only annoying experience is the permanent long queues at the ticketing booth.<br />
<br />
Of course, english afternoon tea at elevated locations comes at a premium. At rm78++ for a couple's tea set, it is not cheap. But that is the price that people is willing to pay to experience the environment and to taste the quality delights.<br />
<br />
The scones and apple tarts are good though. My advice is to avoid the peak seasons and always carry an umbrella with you :)<br />

Nestled along the ever busy Burmah road, just beside the 1926 Heritage Hotel this Taiwanese diner is always packed to the rim. Parking spaces are limited but there are ample spots along the neighbouring street. <br />
<br />
The mini steamboat soup is surprisingly sweet without the hint of MSG. At less than rm25 per set, it can easily satisfy the palate of 2 light eaters. Of course there are other choices on the menu. But this for me is my favourite pick. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLVbmyRr_sarMv6Mp4uA27MfCzIw7VEHPShFSBDDuDr9s3K9x2FvZk7O89hyphenhyphen1dRDXujENXl9I70mkhTUnzBwDi7XpwMYRxqlvw9EwbCs4OEAuTPhZlfwD0upQ5ByHOCMrRDm0Q0npxq-Q/s640/blogger-image--300704545.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLVbmyRr_sarMv6Mp4uA27MfCzIw7VEHPShFSBDDuDr9s3K9x2FvZk7O89hyphenhyphen1dRDXujENXl9I70mkhTUnzBwDi7XpwMYRxqlvw9EwbCs4OEAuTPhZlfwD0upQ5ByHOCMrRDm0Q0npxq-Q/s640/blogger-image--300704545.jpg" /></a></div>Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13284328696115858132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798077901219611029.post-63438458171426589682011-03-16T12:25:00.000+08:002011-03-16T12:25:53.690+08:00MLTR is coming to town!

Good news to Micheal Learns to Rock (MLTR) fans as the famous Danish are dropping by Penang as part of their World Tour Live in Malaysia. Expect a sell out crowd at PISA on 22 Apr, so be sure to book your tickets early. This is one live act I wouldn't want to miss.<br />

Of course it is a bit exaggerated but this is the kind of feeling I had every time I visit Khun Thai restaurant at Permatang Tengah.<br />
<br />
To me the food and variety is only average but the reason I keep coming back is because of the price and the atmosphere. On average, the prices are 20-30% lower compared to Thai restaurants on the island. Of course, the petrol and toll for the trip may set you back a bit but imagine if you could enjoy dining in Thailand without making the trip there. Only thing is they don't accept Thai Baht.<br />
<br />
My favourite dishes are the tanghoon prawn, thai-style fish and prawn fritters. I've seen people ordering the seafood platter which is even more economical but I have to give that a skip. Too bad many of the famous thai dishes has been pulled out of the menu especially the famous dessert Tub Tim Grob. Maybe this is part of its efforts to maintain its excellent TAT.<br />
<br />
Give it a try, you won't regret it.<br />

This 5 & 6 Mar, the most coveted trophy in European football will set foot in Gurney Plaza Penang. Set among the lush landscape of Gurney Park, it is the perfect spot for a picture perfect moment with the trophy for footy fans.<br />
<br />
A UCL football legend was also said to be making his appearance at the site to greet fans. If not mistaken, it is the legendary Chelsea striker Gianfranco Zola. Besides the trophy itself, a series of activities had been lined up for fans, including a chance to win tickets to watch the UCL finals 2011 in Wembley.<br />
<br />
So grab your jerseys and head to Gurney Plaza next weekend.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Hola Amigos, this January is the month of español. Not only is winning the world cup boosting their popularity but Spanish food seems to be so ubiquitous nowadays. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">So it is not a surprise when Hard Rock Penang throws a Spanish themed buffet at their famous Starz Diner restaurant. Additional perks on Saturdays with fresh succulent seafood swimming on the menu. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Hmm, I still can't decide. Spanish or Japanese? Yea, Lionel Messi might have just walked away with FIFA's Ballon d'or and yes he plays for the Barcelona. And yes my fav player is Fernando Torres. So the choice is easy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are two basic types of laksa, curry laksa and asam laksa. Curry laksa is a coconut-based curry soup while Asam laksa is sour fish based soup. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is a version Thai version of curry laksa based on green curry. It is quite popular now in Penang and can be quite widely found. I've tasted the Thai laksa located at Swee Hong kopitiam at Pulau Tikus and also Tesco Glugor foodcourt. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Spicy, Hot, Sweet is what I used to describe this laksa dish. If you're not used to the authentic Thai cuisine, then get prepared as you will most likely end up with Rihanna's lips. Recommended to have 3 cups of ice water ready as back-up. Seriously it is damn hot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you are a seafood lover and have a huge appetite, then you shouldn't miss the opportunity to sample the Seafood Buffet Dinner at Parkroyal's Tamarind Brasserie. The range of seafood is pretty impressive with a list that includes salmon belly sashimi, fresh oysters, tiger prawns, mussels, unagi, cod fish, black-pepper fried crabs, scallops and cray fish to name a few. For those that prefer some carbs, there are chicken lasagna, pizza mozzarella, sushi, beef ribs and penang char koay teow. The hotel makes a lot of effort in attention to detail especially on food quality and also presentation. For example their fresh seafood is laid meticulously on a wooden ship placed on ice cubes with coral reefs lined up to complete the decoration.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The atmosphere is not as lively and noise-level a lot lower as compared to E&O Sarkies corner. Therefore the ambiance is very suitable for a private, romantic dinner or those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. There is a 3-stringer band playing oldies but only limited to the concourse area. So you may choose to be seated at the other areas if you prefer a quieter dining experience.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">At RM108++/pax with a complimentary wine or beer, it is absolutely value-for-money for seafood lovers. There are more perks if you are a Citibank, CIMB or UOB credit card member, with discounts up to 20%. </div><dl><dt>PARKROYAL Penang Resort</dt>

Lately there has been some dispute between Penang and Melaka over who has more tourists. Both states received the Unesco World Heritage Site awards in 2008. If we refer to the statistics of hotel guests by state published by the Tourism of Malaysia website, Penang has 5.96mil tourists as compared to Melaka's 3.76mil tourists in year 2009. Interesting to know the top 8 states as below.<br />
