2011-11-01T22:19:00.000+08:00

Before this Sakae Outlet at Autocity turns to sushi, it was named as Sakae Teppanyaki & Izakaya, which served an unique 2-in-1 dining concept under one roof. However, the outlet has dropped the concept Izakaya & changed to sushi, probably due to customer demand.

Agua Mediterranean Cuisine, Straits Quay // Penang

2011-10-28T11:03:00.000+08:00

Agua is no longer a strange name to Penangnites. This mediterranean restaurant serves good cuisine with flavors from Spain, Morocco, France, Italy and Middle Eat. It's also getting very famous as 1 of the must-go spot in Straits Quay, besides the famous Irish pub Healy Mac's and German pub Berlin's Bier Houz. However, below photos are the old ones, which snapped during year 2010. Instead of keeping these photos in storage, I might as well blog it as an info sharing (although not a fresh one, haha).

A nice decoration for every dining table.

The signature cocktail is very nice (but I forgot the name already). It's wine that mixed with lemon, a must-order drink in Agua.

As usual, salad as the starter. It comes with few tiger prawns and eggplant roll. The dressing with spice makes the dish become very nice!

Sober to refresh apetite and prepare for next cuisine. It's something like ice smootie that mixes lemon and mint.

Pork Rib as the main course. It comes with some vegetable, pumpkin, bean and grapes.

Baked Seabass dressed with mint source and serves with spinach.

Smootie dressed with brown sugar as the dessert to complete the dinner course.

Padang Brown Seafood Popiah, Hawker, Dato Keramat // Penang

2011-10-23T21:20:00.000+08:00

The popiah (fresh spring roll) in Padang Brown located at Dato Keramat is perhaps one of the best popiahs in Penang! To be precise, it is located at the junction of Perak Road and Anson Road, opposite Convent Dato Keramat School. The popiah stall is runned by an old couple and selling point is, the popiah is stuffed by a lot of crab meat. This is why people call it Seafood Popiah!

The chef of the famous popiah stall. His assistant is his wife anyway.

Besides popiah, this hawker centre is also popular for lok-lok, pasembur, soup kambing (available at night), char koay teow, and yong tau foo. It opens in the afternoons till late evening.

Lok-lok.

In Pengkalan Tambang area (near to the exit before Sungai Dua Plus Tol), there are many Malay stores that serve Mee Udang (prawn noodle in malay style).

Inaka Japanese Restaurant, Pulau Tikus // Penang

2011-10-14T13:25:00.001+08:00

Before Inaka moved in Pulau Tikus, it was located at Juru light industrial area. Many people may know this area has famos Yam Rice, Nasi Kandar, & Nasi Melayu (with special bawal goren). Probably the business in Juru was not so good, the owner decided moving out of this area. Many people may find it's not really special about Inaka, probably due to too many competitors in Penang. Anyway, Ramen & Katsu (Port Cutlet) Japanese Curry Rice served by Inaka are not so bad to try.
