Invited Review @ KO-FU- LOFT, Gurney Plaza, Penang.

Ah.... some of you might say... "Finally! you blog this!". ^-^ I am sorry as I am quite busy for the past few weeks as too many visitors at a time. So I keep postponed to write up this posts. As it needs extra time to put all the photos together and find a right time to do my "homework".^-^ And I told myself my dateline is the last day of June and phew... finally I do it on time.

Ok back to the post. First of all, I would like to thank Alicia Ng of KO-FU-LOFT, Criz Lai and Jian for inviting us to this review. And this is the first biggest ever food review gathering I ever attend.

Some of KO-FU-LOFT interior settings and also the three chefs postings for us to take photos. Since I am running a bit late (due to traffic jammed) , so I did not take much photos of the interior. If you still remember the settings of Food Loft, then it still maintain more or less the same settings.
KO-LU-LOFT located @ 170-04-59, Level 4, Plaza Gurney, Persiaran Gurney, 10250 Penang, Malaysia.
Contact Number: 604-229 5011
Business Hours: 10.00am-10.00pm (Weekdays) and 9.00am-10.00pm (Weekends)

Ko Fu Sesame Seed Ball ~ RM10.90
We start by having two appetisers. One of the appetisers is Ko Fu Sesame Seed Ball. It is basically meat stuffed with some ingredients such as capsicum, spring onion and..... in there and coated with white and black sesame seed. It is then served with some sauce.


Crystal Spring Roll Skin Stuff with Vege & Chicken Meat ~ RM6.90
Spring roll....... that's another appetiser we had for that day. There are lots of vegetables such as carrot, cucumber, glass noodles, chicken and...... in the spring roll. It is good for those who want to go for something light and healthy eating style. As some think that it is a bit tasteless if it does not go with the sauce provided.


Photos from clockwise are Pork Dumpling with Fish Roes (Siew Mai), Signature Steamed Custard Creamy Bun, Minced Squid with Crab Claw Meat and Steamed Fresh Prawn Dumpling (Har Kau).
Next, we had some dim sum. The dim sum that we had are Pork Dumpling with Fish Roes (Siew Mai) ~ RM5.50, Signature Steamed Custard Creamy Bun ~ RM5.50, Steamed Fresh Prawn Dumpling (Har Kau) ~RM5.50 and Minced Squid with Crab Claw Meat ~ RM6.90
Dim sum is best consume while it is hot. And since we took lots of time to take some pictures, all the dim sum turns cold. I personally love siew mai very much when I am having some dim sum. I found that the minced squid with crab claw meat cute. ^-^ The har kau that I had is a bit disappointed as the prawn in there tested not so fresh. But other's har kau is ok. Their signature steamed custard creamy bun is one of their attractions. And the custard cream is not so sweet. So it is suitable for people who take care of their diet.
Overall, I would say that it is best to test it while it is hot. As the textures might be different while it is hot.

Deep Fried Homemade Bean Curd ~ RM12.90
The textures of the bean curd that that they use is like the Japanese bean curd. It is very smooth and silky but it tastes very plain and lack of the bean curd aroma. It will go well with the sauce provided.

Szechuan Aromatic Duck ~ RM18.90
Have you try the Szechuan Aromatic Duck before? Well.... I have not try it before, I tried Peking Duck and also Jia Su Duck before and I like both very much. As for this Szechuan Aromatic Duck, I don't really like the duck slice that is being served because when we had our Szechuan Aromatic Duck, it is cold already. So I really can't comment much about this. I need to go back there and try it out next time when it is hot. ^-^

Deep Fried Five Spices Calamari ~ RM13.90
I personally love calamari very much. I usually love calamari in ring shapes rather than the shapes above. And the calamari here is added with some five spices and deep fried. I still prefer the original types of deep fried calamari. However, the textures of the calamari is still there.

Fried Seafood Emperor Noodle ~ RM12.90
Next, is the fried seafood emperor noodle. The noodle tested a bit mild. And I cannot feel any "Wok Hei" in there. I prefer my noodles have "wok Hei". The textures of the noodles itself is ok.

All in 1 Roasted Meat with Vegetables ~ RM19.90
Ah..... next is the "Poon Choy". Ah this is also another economy type of poon choy with the price RM19.90 only. The soup base is not consistence as some of the floggers tried out all the 4 pots of poon choy and they reckoned that the one in our table tasted the best. But you can always give it a try. As everybody have different taste bud.

Photos from clockwise - Deep Fried Yam Paste with Minced Pork~ RM4.50, Deep Fried Pandan Lotus Paste Dumpling ~ RM4.50, Sago and Water Chestnut in Coconut Milk, Jingdo Pork Ribs ~ RM14.90
Actually I found that the deep fried yam paste with minced pork and deep fried pandan lotus paste dumpling is quite suite my taste bud. And I quite enjoying having it. The lotus paste is not so sweet. As I don't like very sweet lotus paste. ^-^ The Jingdo Pork Ribs are ok but not the best that I have tested before. As for the hot desserts that we had are Sago and Water chestnut in Coconut Milk. I would like to try out their Mango desserts when I revisited them.
And with this review, we were given a RM5 voucher by KO-LU-LOFT . Once again, thank you KO-LU-LOFT for their arrangement and invitation. You can pop over to other attendee review:

Kedai Kopi Swee Kong @ Solok Moulmein, Penang

I have been busy for the past few days but still try my best to squeeze in some time to do some blogging. ^-^ And today, I choose to blog about

Kedai Kopi Swee Kong @ Pulau Tikus. The actual location is @ Solok Moulmein. Directly opposite the Police Station. This blog consists of two visits, one during breakfast time and the other during late lunch.

I found the way the boss prepare the Apom is so interesting. As the way, he can quickly move the pot from one charcoal stove to another with fast speed using one hand. I think for me, I have to use both hands and not with that kind of speed. ^-^

Hubby captured some of the photos from the stall as following:

The boss in action.

Apom

I usually love the crispy type of apom like the one that sell in Air Itam. But this one is a bit different. It is very crispy at the edge of the apom and soft in the interior. And it tastes great when serves hot. And we ordered twice from the owner as my gal loves it very much.

Wantan Mee

When I entered the shop, I saw the stall owner of the wantan mee is so busy and most of the table order this. And since my gal wants some wantan mee, hubby ordered one for her. She comments that the wantan mee tastes nice and she loves the wantan mee textures.

Hokkien Mee

I opt for the hokkien mee. The hokkien mee tastes not bad.

Ban Chang Kueh

This is the second visit to this shop and hubby told me that the ban chang kueh is very famous there. So he went and ordered. Then the stall owner told hubby, you have to prepared to wait as there are so many ordered. And there are lots of people standing on the road site and some wait inside their car for this ban chang kueh.

After hubby finished his late lunch, he went to the stall and wait. He still have to wait for very long time. However, my gal and I just sitting inside the coffee shop had our late lunch. ^-^

The Ban Chang kueh is very crispy and thin textures and it has many peanut fillings in there and hubby ordered one with egg. It tastes delicious when it serves hot.

Hokkien Char

Char Tua Pan

The hokkien char and the char tua pan came from the same stall and it tastes very delicious as the "wok hei" is there. We are thinking to order another plate but at last we decided not to as we still have the ban chang kueh. ^-^

Laksa

I am not too sure whether you will get the thick laksa soup when you order it in the normal hour. As when I start digging this, I told hubby that this laksa stall have a very thick and strong soup base. Hubby agreed with me when he savour some. Then I just realise that the laksa that I had was the last bowl. ^-^ As I overheard one of the customers sat next to our table want to order the laksa, he was told that it all sold out. So I guess I am quite lucky. ^-^

New World Park Food Court @ Swatow Lane, Penang

It has been quite a long time that we did not patronise this coffee shop. As nowadays, there are too many foods around to savour in Penang itself. But during one heaty afternoon, we decide to go to this place for some hawker foods. As this place have two kinds of sitting. One with air condition and one with fans. So we opt for the air condition seats as my gal is the one always complained of hot. ^-^

And we were so hungry at that time and we ordered many foods to share among 3 of us. The foods that we ordered are

Chee Cheong Fun

Every place chee cheong fun have different textures and the sauce and chili sauce that they used are different from one to another. One of my gal comfort food is chee cheong fun. So she loves to try out different kind of chee cheong fun and she found that the chee cheong fun is not bad. ^-^

Dry Koay Teow

Hubby opt for dry koay teow. Hubby comments that the dry koay teow is not too bad. And we were thrilled that the dry koay teow is with some bean sprout. And hubby loves it.

Majestic Rojak

As my gal and I are so fond of rojak few months ago, so every where we go and we saw rojak, we will order one to try. As we tested this before the 127 Food Court Centre Majestic Rojak, so we reckon that we prefer this one than the other. ^-^ But towards the end, it turns watery. ^-^

Hokkien Mee

My gal wants some hokkien mee, so she tries out the hokkien mee there and she find that hokkien mee is so spicy for her, so end up, i have to finish it for her.

Char Koay Teow

I opt for CKT as feel like having some CKT. And it tastes not bad.

Happy Father's Day 2009

Father's day in Malaysia falls on the 21st June this year. As some other countries celebrate in different month. I recall while I am studying abroad, father's day in that country is celebrate in September. So each year, I have to remind myself that Malaysia father's day is in 3rd week (Sunday) of June.

So I would like to wish all my readers and every one,

" Happy Father's Day"

I think most of you already have some things plan for you father, father in law, hubby....... where to celebrate Father's Day and wish every one of you enjoy every moments with them.

Following are some of the desserts that hubby prepared for my gal and me during boxing day last year. Hubby wanted to get rid of all the fruits that he brought for preparing Christmas dinner early on. So the following are hubby creations:

Hubby home made desserts

To make this post more interesting and surprise for my hubby, I request my gal to write something for her daddy for this father's day. The following are what she wrote:

" Dear Daddy, I love you very very much and you are the best daddy in the world ~ by gal."

Anyway......" Happy Father's Day" to everyone!!!!!! and don't forget to pamper your dad as the way you pamper your mum on "Mother's Day". ^-^

Chu Char next to Shell Station along Pengkalan Weld, Penang

Whenever we passed by this chu char stall next to the Shell Petrol Station in Pengkalan Weld, it is always full of people. Especially when it is at dinner time. So hubby and I marked down this place in our "makan list" for quite some time. Then during one weekend, my gal wanted to have chu char, so we decided to give it a try.

We are not sure what they are offering and ask for some recommendation and we ended with the following dishes:

Watercress Soup

Ah....... when there are watercress soup, my gal will automatically asked for one. And the watercress soup is very nice. As usual, my gal consumed most of this.

Stir fry vegetables with garlic

Deep Fried Promfret with BBO sauce

When hubby heard that they have deep fried promfret with BBQ sauce.....he looked at me and I knew that he wanted to try. As we never try the deep fried fish with BBQ sauce. Well.... the texture and freshness of the fish is very nice and indeed delicious. As for the sauce, my gal found it a bit spicy for her.

Tom Yam Bean Curd

This is one of their famous dishes according to the auntie that take our order. And since we never try tom yam bean curd before, we decided to try. Actually we are so curious to find out what is that. If you are fond of lots of herbs, combination of tom yam and bean curd, then you will sure to savor this dish. However, we found that the aroma is too strong for us. ^-^

Bayan Baru Market Part 2

This time around I am going to posts some food that are available from Bayan Baru Market in the morning session. Whenever we go to Bayan Baru market in the morning, we will either order one of this or from other stall. And this used to be hubby hot spot for breakfast many years ago before he off for work.

Prawn Mee and Lor Mee Stall No. 6

Hokkien Lor Mee

This is hubby order. This stall offers hokkien mee, lor mee, hokkien lor mee and you can add on extra chicken feet if you like it. And it is also depends on the availability.

This photo is taken while I brought my friend there for breakfast before she departs Penang.

And the following photos are photos that I took by using hand phone previously:

L to R: Hokkien Mee and Lor Mee

Curry Mee Stall No. 7

Curry Mee

Ah..... whenever I am craving for curry mee when I am in Bayan Baru Market, I will opt for this stall curry mee. It has a very rich curry aroma. And i like the way that they cook the noodles. As some tend to over cooked it but this stall never fail me each time I ordered from them.

Pin Seong Seafood @ Sungai Dua, Penang

During one outing, we went to Pin Seong Seafood @ Sungai Dua for dinner. We always passed by this shop but we did not dine in as most of the time we already had our our meals. And since my gal want to have some chu char over the weekend, so we choose to go for this shop and try out their chu char.

Pin Seong Seafood is located just opposite to Pekaka Square and next to Chia Chia Cafe.

After browsing through the menu stated on the wall and also some recommendation by the uncle who took our orders, we end up with the following dishes:

Claypot Curry Fish Slice

I am surprise with their curry fish slice. I thought it is just the normal curry powder curry. However, it has many different types of herbs in there. So it has quite a nice aroma. It is not very spicy. So my gal and hubby still able to enjoy it. ^-^

Stir fry mix vegetables

Egg Omelette's

Hubby order this for my gal as he worried that the curry will be too spicy for her. The egg omelette's has a very nice aroma when it was being served. But we felt that it is too salty for our liking. If the chef could reduce some salt in there, it would be great.

Deep Fried Belachan Chicken

This is one of their popular dishes. So we order this and try and it is indeed very nice. It has the fragrant of the belachan and the chicken is very tender and juicy. The outer part of the chicken is so crispy as it was deep fried to the perfect timing. Give it a try!

Apart from the chu char they also serves fried rice, noodles........... I saw many people patronise this shop while we were dining there. If you want something quick and easy, this might be one of your choice.

Invited Review - Hot Wok Nonya & Local Cuisine @ Burmah Road, Penang

There are several Nonya restaurants around in Penang. And today I am going to blog about "Hot Wok Nonya & Local Cuisine". I think most of you should have known this restaurant as it was located at Tanjung Tokong and Gurney Plaza before but now has move to a two adjoining double storey pre-war houses along Burmah Road, Penang.

Some overseas reader might not understand what is Peranakan or Baba- Nonya(峇峇娘惹). You can click here for more information. And also here for more write up. If you are in Penang, may be you would like to visit Pinang Peranakan Mansion @ Church Street, Penang to learn more about Peranakan or Baba - Nyonya.

If you run out of time and would like to see some of the baba-nyonya photos and others, you can always drop by Hot Wok Nyonya & Local Cuisine to savour some of the foods and look around at their collections.

Hot Wok Main Entrance

Some of the interiors.......

More interiors photos and HOT WOK has been awarded as the Best Restaurant by Malaysian Tatler Magazine in 1998 and 2004. Furthermore, it was featured in TVB Hong Kong food channel in 2007. You can see photo of Ella Kung (Hong Kong actress), Hugo Man (well knowned Chef from Hong Kong) and Kelyvn Yeoh (Director and Chef of HOT WOK) taken on 9 December 2008.

Some photos..... Hot Wok menu........

After some introduction to the interiors, let come back to the foods.......

Loh Bak

This is our first dish being served for the night. There are several different types of loh bak around in Malaysia as the ingredients use are differ from one to another. And the way where they wrap the loh bak is also another important thing. Some tend to wrap it to loosely while I like the firm type. And the Loh Bak that being serves in Hot Wok suites my taste buds. And find that it tastes very delicious.

Choon Pheah

This is another appetizer that we savour for the night. Some might wonder what is "Choon Pheah"? Well, it is basically spring rolls. If you want something juicy and crispy. This would be your choice.

Hokkien Prawn Mee

When you are around Hot Wok, you will definitely smell this fragrant hokkien prawn mee aroma. Once I was around that area, I can smell the aroma........ And this time round, I have the chance to savour it. ^-^ Well..... I think my gal will love this since it is not spicy at all. Will bring her there one day and try this. While I am doing this blog, she keeps asking me whether this hokkien mee is spicy or not. See..... she is so eager to try. ^-^

Kiam Chai Ark

While we were busy capturing the photos, some of us are eyeing on this soup. As the smell is unbeatable. If you like something that is not too sour you will certainly love this dish. By the way Kiam Chai Ark is Salted Vegetables Duck Soup. For me, I would wish that a bit more sourness will make the soup more perfect for my taste buds. However, I still enjoy this soup too.

Curry Kapitam Chicken and Tau Eu Bak

These two are my all time favourites. ^-^ I personally think that the curry kapitam chicken is not spicy. But it has many varieties of herbs in the curry. The chicken is very tender and succulent. The tau eu bak and the eggs are equally taste nice. Especially the hard boiled egg white. It is very firm. It's just like the way my MIL cook.

Curry Tumis Fish and Pork Cincalok

If you don't like lemak type of curry, then you can opt for curry tumis fish as this curry tumis is more towards the sweet, sour and spicy taste. The curry is served in a claypot which would help to sustain the heat of the curry tumis fish.

Next is the Pork Cincalok. Cincalok? what is that? Some might wonder. Well, it is one of the products of Malaysia. It is basically fermented tiny small shrimps. More details can be obtained from here. The pork is very tender and a bit salty. It is best to go with some white rice.

Or Kuih

Which is also known as steamed yam cake. It is served with sweet chillies, dried shallots, sliced chillies and spring onions. If you love the soft and tender type of yam cake, then this would be your choice.

Jiu Hoo Char and Assam Prawn

I always find that this dish is very hard to prepare since you have to grate all the ingredients into very thinly slice. It is very time consuming. (As I am a very lazy mummy) Many ingredients involve here such as turnips, dried squids, carrots, mushrooms....... It is nice to wrap it with vegetables. It is also nice to go with some rice too.

Next..... the assam prawn....assam means tamarind. So it is basically prawn cooked with tamarind and soya sauce. Although this sound easy but in order to get the right tastes, it is not easily done.

Desserts

What else should we have to wrap up the review? Off course.... the desserts. We are so fortunate to taste not only one dessert but 6 desserts. The desserts that we try are Ice Kacang, Sago Gula Melaka Sago Honeydew, Cendol, Mango Cendol and Sago Nangka. So I am sure that there are some desserts that suit you.

Yee Hong Food Court @ Sungai Nibong, Penang

During one weekend outing, hubby suggesting us to have some Pan Mee @ Yee Hong Food Court. I have forgotten all about this place. Thanks to hubby to remind me about the Pan Mee Stall.

My gal insists that she wants to have some fried rice so hubby ordered her:

Fried Rice

And this turn out to be mine as it is a bit spicy for my gal. After few spoonful, she gave up. The fried rice is just so-so.

Pan Mee Soup

Hubby opts for the soup version of pan mee. I asked hubby whether his bowl of pan mee still have the QQ textures since it is immerse in the soup. And hubby told me that the textures still there and he enjoyed his bowl of pan mee very much and he finished very quickly that I don't even have the chance to try. ^-^

Special Chili Sauce for Pan Mee

Soup for the fry Pan Mee

I love the vegetables very much and usually hubby will always tell the owner to add more vegetables for me. ^-^ and the fish balls taste nice too.

Dry Pan Mee

My gal has to take my bowl of pan mee since she cannot take the spicy fried rice. And once she digs in, her eyes grow big. Do you know why? Well, she fall in love with it immediately as the textures of the Pan Mee is so nice and QQ.

Curry Mee and Koay Teow Thn'g @ Jalan Samak, Penang

Thanks to Allie for introducing this place to me. After I saw Allie blog about this place, I told hubby about it. And we went there twice. During the first visit we cannot find it as we turn in the wrong direction and on our second visit since it's just hubby and I, we went to find high and low and we finally found it. ^-^ And we are so pleased and satisfied with the foods being served there.

Map Location

There are 5 stalls operating there. It consists of Wantan Noodles stall, Curry Mee stall, Koay Teow Thn'g stall, Buns Stall and also the drinks stall.

While we were seated, we saw many people buy buns from this uncle. And we were so curious, so hubby went and bought

Pandan Bun

to try as we still have to wait for our koay teow thn'g and curry mee. The bun is freshly make and it is still hot as just taken out from the steamer. And the textures are very soft. I saw uncles sold many varieties of buns too.

Koay Tiaw Thn'g

Hubby ordered KTT for himself and I get the chance to tastes the soup. And we love it very much and I am sure that my gal will love it very much and we plan to bring her there one day to try it out. The soup base is so tasty and yummy.

Curry Mee

Ah.... this is off course mine....... the curry mee is quite delicious. It has a very rich coconut milk in there. For me, it is not spicy at all.   ^-^ And I like the fish ball as it has the tangy textures and also the bean curd when it is immersed with the curry....... hmm...... very yummy..... ^-^

C B Yummy Cuisine @ Sungai Ara, Penang

There is one restaurant open up in Sungai Ara area 2 weeks ago. So we decided to give it a try since this lazy mummy did not cook dinner during one weekday. So we opt for some chu char. Once we entered the restaurant, hubby already saw the lady boss. When we were seated, the lady boss came and told us that they just moved to this place few days ago. They previously occupied the chu char in TYY Restaurant few blocks away. If you are the TYY chu char frequent customers, you will know them. As occasionally we will take away some fried rice or char tua pan from them.

Interior and Exteriors of Yummy Cuisine

Location: 308-A-1 Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim, Sungai Ara, Penang.

Since my gal wants to have some chu char, so we ordered some simple chu char for the night.

Stewed Mei Chai Pork ~ RM12

If you like fatty pork with mei chai, then I would suggest that you ordered this and try. Actually I prefer their mei chai chicken but the day when we dine in they don't have this dish. If you happen to drop by there one day, then I suggest you to try it as the chicken is so tender and succulent.

Stir fry vegetables with garlic ~ RM6

Deep Fried Fish with 3 flavours sauce ~ RM25

Since my gal would like to have some fish then hubby ordered this for her. And we decided to separate the sauce since the lady boss told us that it is a bit spicy for kid.

The fish is very crispy and yet delicious. As for the sauce...... beware of the chili padi. But for me it tastes not so spicy. ^-^

The cost for the night is RM 47.40 (including 3 rice and 2 drinks).

You can view my other review from here and here.

127 Food Court Centre @ Burmah Road, Penang

During one outing, hubby decided to try out the new food court outlet ~ 127 Food Court Centre. We passed by several times but we did not step in until one weekend during April. After we parked our car and entered the food centre, the rain poured heavily. So I asked hubby to order more foods since we need to wait till the rain to stop. So hubby went around and ordered:

Majestic Rojak

Both my gal and I asked hubby to order rojak for us as we suddenly craving for some rojak and since the rojak is just few tables away from us. Hubby ordered this for us. We tried the Majestic Rojak from the other branch before and we prefer the other branch rojak. But we found that it is a bit watery though towards the end. As we prefer thick rojak sauce. ^-^ But we do finished it.

BBQ Chicken

Hubby ordered some bbq chicken for us to try. If you like the burnt tastes.... than this will be your cup of tea. ^-^

Arab Fried Rice ~ RM3.50

I fall in love with this fried rice after having the first bite. And my gal cannot resist to try it out as she saw me enjoying the fried rice so much. And end up, we share the fried rice. ^-^ I recommended you give it a try!

Yong Tao Hu

Hubby ordered this to try. Tastes vice is so-so.

Hokkien Mee

Hubby ordered Hokkien Mee to try since he wanted something spicy.

There are lots of stall in the food centre to choose from and they even have chu char, Indian foods, Taiwanese foods, western foods and more........

Invited Review - Te Chang You Tiao Wang Enterprise

Apart from that, people always eat the you tiao with kopi 'o' and some might go with soy milk, rice congee and............

Some of us are honour to get invited by Criz to do the review of Te Chang You Tiao Wang. And thanks to Criz and TH. TAN.

From the photos above, it's show their Te Chang You Tiao which means extra long Chinese crullers fried bread stick. It is 14 inch long. And we get the honour to take photos of Mr. Tan with the Te Chang You Tiao.

From the shop, you get to see Mr. Tan make the you tiao on the spot. It is very interesting to see how Mr. Tan roll the dough, cut into shapes and ............ (You can see that in the above photos).

Then we tasted the honey + butter you tiao. I personally cannot taste the honey flavour as may be the piece that I try is not coated well with honey. If you are honey lovers, you can give it a try, Honey + Butter You Tiao cost RM2.00/pc.

Tuna + Mayonnaise is another choice that they offered. And their tuna is using Ayam Brand tuna. The You Tiao is coated with tuna, mayonnaise and some coleslaw.

This cost RM2.50/pc.

If you like sausages, then you can try their Sausage + Mayonnaise. This cost RM3.00/pc.

Chicken Floss lovers...... here something for you to try...... Chicken Floss + Mayonnaise You Tiao which cost RM2.50/pc.
