Perut Rumah Nonya Cuisine @ Jalan Bawasah, Penang.

We brought our guests from overseas for some nonya cuisine. We opt to dine in at "Perut Rumah". Guests were quite thrilled with the interior setting.

Beverages

Ambra drink

We suggest our guests to try their ambra and sour plum drink. It is rather a refreshing drink which I love it very much. And usually I will reckon my guest to give this a try.

Honey Lemon

Food that we consume:

Sauces for Jiu Hoo Char, Spring Roll and Loh Bak

Spring Roll

The spring roll is very crunchy as you can see from the photo and the filling was very nice that suits my guests liking.

Acar Awak - RM16 (Medium)

Kari Kapitan - RM20

The curry kapitan chicken has a nice spice aroma and I was worried that it was a bit spicy for one of my guests as she cannot take too spicy food but it turns out that she loves it very much and the chicken is very tender too.

Jiu Hoo Char - RM20

There is nothing left in this jiu hoo char and the lettuce. It's all gone in minuets. This turns out to be one of my gal favourites food for the night. 

Loh Bak - RM9

The loh bak served here is what we like. I like the loh bak that have a very firm texture. 

Hong Bak - RM22

Assam Heh

Overall, food served here was very nice and my guests were so happy with the food. The service are very attentive and we were taking care very well during our visit.

Auntie Gaik Lean's old school eatery @ Bishop Street, Penang.

During one of the visits from a friend from Ipoh, we went out for a dinner gathering at the nonya cuisine restaurant at No.1 Bishop Street, 10200 Penang. Contact Number: 04 - 2638121

Although it is a rainy night but still there are lots of patron. 

FOOD THAT WE SAVOUR:

Hot Barley - RM3, Nutmeg Juice - RM4 and Honey Lemon - RM5

I had the nutmeg juice which I think it is something special from other restaurant as they blend the nutmeg. So you still can feel the blended nutmeg at the bottom of the glass. Normally, they will serve just the nutmeg juice. You can give this a try if you like nutmeg. As for my family, my gal and hubby do not favour nutmeg juice.

BABA DELIGHT - RM28

We were introduced to try this platter as it has the combination of spring rolls, lor bak, cucur udang and acar awak. Which was a good choice for us. As everyone enjoyed it very much and my guest loves their acar awak. 

KIAM CHAI ARK - RM20 (Small Serve)

We ordered a small serve of Kiam Chai Ark. Which eventually distribute to 5 bowl of soup for the five of us. The soup does not have the strong duck flavour. 

CURRY TUMIS - RM58

You can choose the type of fish that you love and we opt for String ray during our visit, The fish is fresh but the curry tumis does not really suits our liking.

SAMBAL PETAI - RM25 (SMALL)

This is one of the popular dishes of the night. Love their sambal petai. Nice blended sambal.

KERABU PUCUK PAKU - RM16 (SMALL)

This would be my love for the night. The kerabu pucuk paku. It is actually hand tossed fiddlehead fern (Paku) with aromatic herbs, I think if we ordered another plate of this, it would be gone in just few minutes. Really recommend to try this if you like paku.

Jiew Hu Char (SMALL) - RM22

PENGAT - RM6
To end our meal, we ordered pengat for dessert. Actually we were full from the meal so we just ordered one to try. 

Cowboy Street Cafe @ corner of Lebuh Victoria and Gat Lebuh Armenian, Penang.

During one of the outing with hubby, we stopped by Cowboy Street Cafe for breakfast. We noticed this cafe for few times when we passed by Lebuh Victoria. There are lot of shops opening around in Penang for the past few months and years.

The banner actually attracted me few weeks ago. Not many shops around in Penang selling Foochow Red Rice Wine Mee Sua. Some stalls do sell it but after a while either they have moved or they stop operating.

After we arrived at the shop, we were given a menu. After flip through it. We decide to choose the one with the recommendation. Well, guess that's the best way to try. They do serve some western foods as well.

Following were what we have chosen for the day:

Bee Hoon Thn'g with Home Made Fish Ball

This came first. Hubby had this. From the look it does not seems appealing to me though. So I'm waiting for hubby reaction. Hahhaahah...... Then he commented that it is not bad. It's like the home cook style bee hoon th'ng. He told me it is actually like the way that his granny cooked him when he still young. 

The fish ball is a bit different. Some of the hand made fish balls that we tried in some stalls are a bit too soft. This shop, the fish ball texture is quite ok.

Foochow Red Rice Wine Mee Sua

Hmm...... I waited for quite some time for this to be served. This shop do sell mee hoon and noodles to go with the red rice wine if you are not fancy with the mee sua. I chose mee sua as I personally think that is the traditional way to have the red rice wine mee sua. Hahhaha............ 

When I first saw the mee sua...... I told hubby..... oh no..... it's look very soft! As personally I am not fans of mee sua. I do take it though. Fortunately...... it looks soft but was perfectly done. This bowl of red wice wine mee sua consisted of two big chicken breast. I have to give one to hubby. And it also consisted of the home made fish ball as well. The red rice wine was nice....... and rich in aroma. 

Lor Bak

From the menu, it also had lor bak and guang chiang. We decided to give lor bak a try. Hubby like the lor bak but as for me, it's just ok. So you should know who ate most of this? >.<

Oh ya..... I quite enjoy the hot tea at the shop!
