Field report: Teluk Kumbar seafood

In the outskirt of Penang, there lies a very special village that will hold the greatest memories in my mum's heart. The place is none other than Teluk Kumbar, the place where she was born and raised up.

Anyway, just to skip the nostalgic part and the reminiscent of this fishing village, let me introduce you to the seafood village located just opposite the chinese school.

You'll have to drive in to the beach to eat.

The location is about 15 minutes from the Penang Airport if it doesn't jam.

We went there on a rainy Monday night.

Most of the dishes here are fantastic but one of the must-order dishes will be the fried squid.

The crab cooked in toamto or chili taste excellent too.

The fried kuey teow is also very tasty.

This will be the dishes we ordered although not in totality. Didn't managed to capture the fish and Nestum prawns. Sorry! Busy eating by then. Rainy day, you know lah!

Anyway, after the meal, notice the grin on my left...

...and on my right!

My sincerest appreciation to Edy, Chandra, Andie and Janice for forcing me to make my way here to enjoy the seafood.

Oh ya! Take note on the satay too. A must order although it costs 70 cents per stick.

Field report: Penang Road Chendol

Let me ask you a question...

...what's green, slimy, swims in murky liquid but is tasteless yet cooling and sweet?

The answer is Penang chendol!

Show me a Penangnite who doesn't know about this chendol and I'll show you an illegal immigrant.

Boy, I love this show me sh*t.

Anyway, back to the topic, here goes the picture:

You can either choose to sit in a designated shop or stand to enjoy your ice beverage.
Note the award winning background:

This shop is also found in the Rasa Rasa Penang food guide:

Thank you Penang for your neverending wonderful unique food.

Just a special mention, there's also a rojak stall outside.

It consists of mixed fruit with tofu and cuttlefish blended with a special kind of sauce.

Try it today!

Field's report: Dynasy Tang

Hi again everyone!

After a brief absence due to busy working life, the JJ team is back.

This time we will try our best to update the blog weekly to appease our fans

and to avoid backlog.

Back in September, we went to a very sweet place called the Dynasty Tang.

This place is a thong sui shop located near the Argyll Road (New World Park).

Attached is some of the goodies on the menu:

There's also a food menu. I've tried the Wan Than Mee before. Trust me, it's good!

There's also a drink menu for those who wants to just quench their thirst:

Thong sui is served under 5 minutes:

Yummy! After eating it, you will be....

...grinning with delight!

Our sincerest appreciation to one of the finest thong sui shop in Penang.

Prices are very affordable.

Field Report: Make a guess

It was an important day fo the year. Someone would have been very dissappointed if the day just passed without anyone noticed it. Having this said, I planned to bring him to a place where none of us ever been there before.

Guess where? Hint: The flag

Looking out from the windows of the lower ground

The wooden windows and the floor give a country side feeling

The dim yellow light hanging on the wall soften the atmosphere. I'm sure it is definitely feel better to be here when night time falls

This is the lower ground restaurant where we chose. Looks good?

Does it ring a bell as where it is? No? read on.

Wooden roof with dim yellow light and soft music

Daisy flower on top of each table is the perfect match to the settings of the room

Here comes the salad of the set lunch which Johnny ordered. Cucumber and tomato cubes top with cheese and mint leaves

Crispy bread which serves with the set lunch too

Here comes my meal. Grilled fish never taste so good to me ^^

A set lunch with pork, chicken, mashed potato and Broccoli

Herm... This dessert is best. Imagine, for people who do not like pumpkin dessert nor dishes like us, just can't stop fighting each other to get the last bite (It tasted like pudding with pumpkin and chocolate sauce)

A cup of black coffee at the end of the meal sparks up your tongue buds, if you like black coffee

To reach here, we didn't need to take flight nor cruise. You don't need to spend thousands to feel the Bulgaria's atmosphere or taste the Bulgaria's specialties. All you need to do is to take 30 minutes drive to Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant in Tanjung Bungah. The food is delicious and the environment is relaxing. You should expect the price to fall within fine dining range. Try once in a blue moon, pampering yourselves, it is just fine.

Field Report: 32 Mansion

Being one of the famous restaurant in Penang, 32 Mansion is famous for its delicios food and more over its fabulous interior designs. I had a team dinner last week in this restaurant (shame to say that living in Penang for so many years yet this was my first time visiting this place).

Thanks to my boss, Frank who visited us from San Jose. If it was not his visit, I guess I will be just spending another night at home, after a day of tiring works.

From the outside, the British-like building is painted in Orange color and when the night falls and the lights are on, wow.. it is indeed a breath-taking scene. Wait, this is not the end of it, not until you enter into the building.

There are a few main partitions with different theme designs. I'll show you how they look like.

This is the main lobby. The way it is shaped is the mixture of old British and the modern one.

I like this cystal lights. It reminds me of the "Beauty and the Beast" story (erm.. don't ask me why).

Let me bring you into another partition. Does it look like a formal meeting room? For sure, if all company meetings are held in this unique environment, I guess it will boost up employees efficiency and brain-storming sessions. Ha~

Herm... take a few steps walk, here we are in another partition, where they are a few hanging Tang Lung with a little light bulbs inside, turning the atmosphere into a very relaxing and romantic place.

There are also the pictures of several famous artists (once upon the time) hanging on the wall.

Nonetheless, the menu of the day is displayed on a blackboard for you to make the toughest choice of the day-- erm..what to order? Spagetti? Lamb? Steak or Salmon?

I ordered a Salmon set dinner. A set dinner comes with an appetizer, a mini bread, soup, a main course and a dessert. This is the salad appetizer...

And the pumpkin.... (Opps, this picture is a bit 'artistic')

Yeah~ This is my main course...Salmon! The taste is fantastic. It was so fresh that you will wonder if it was caught from the sea behind the building? (Erm.. better not...)

Here comes the dessert time! Tiramisu~ There are a variety of cakes which you can choose, be it Blueberry cheese cake, chocolate almond, strawberry cheese etc etc. For coffee lover, you can choose to have one too.

Last but not least, let's take a photo as memories. Smile~ Whiskey!
