Warung Puteri @ Jalan Sylvia, Miri.

Apart from the afternoon tea break that I blog before, we opt for another place to try their food. 

We chose some deep fried chicken wings and assorted deep fried beancurd, sweet potatoes and cucuk udang in front of the coffee shop.

Then we seated and look around that many people ordering mee goreng which  looks very delicious therefore we came up with the following order.

Food that we savour:

Deep Fried Chicken Wings

Long time that I did not have any deep fried chicken wings. Eventhough our home cook meal, we hardly have any deep fried chicken wings on our menu.

This deep fried chicken wings taste very crunchy at the outer part and very tender and juicy.

Assorted deep fried beancurd, cucuk udang and deep fried sweet potatoes.

This platter is also very delicious. 

Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin - RM6
While this is being served, my sister and my girl are laughing non-stop as they cannot imagine that their salted fish fried rice is divided into two plates. Fry salted fish with, onion and chilies in one plate and another is just purely fried rice.

The fried rice is very delicious and nice aroma. But the salted fish is too salty for their liking.

Mee Goreng Special - RM5.50

Mee Goreng Mamak Special - RM6

FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:

Overall the food serves here is very delicious. Both mee goreng special and mee goreng mamak special has a nice aroma and one with beef another with chicken.

If you are not too hungry during afternoon tea, you can try their deep fried chicken wings and assorted deep fried beancurd, cucuk udang and sweet potatoes.

Sarkies Corner @ E & O Hotel, Penang.

It's been quite a long time that I did not blog about Sarkies Corner. The last time I blog about them was few years back, where their's buffet was still at Sarkies Corner. Review can be viewed here. As for now all the buffets were moved to new wings - Sarkies. 

Today, I am going to blog about Sarkies Corner. But this time I am going to elaborate more about "The Bakery", Weekend Local Specialties and some of the ala carte menu.

SARKIES CORNER - THE BAKERY

The bakery is just located on your right at the entrance of the Sarkies Corner.

It's operates daily from 11:00 am  to 9:00pm.

What is the special deal for THE BAKERY?

Normally you will get a slice of cake for RM12++. If you like something extra to go with the cake. Like a cup of hot beverage, just pay RM18++. (applies for DINE-IN only)

Another good news, you get 50% off bakery items from 6pm onwards.

Let me show you what kind of cakes, pastries and muffins that are being served from the pastry counter at THE BAKERY during my visit.

This choc banana cake has a very rich banana flavours. If you are banana lovers, you will love this. The chocolate itself does not really empower the banana flavours. I like the white chocolate coated nuts on top of it. It is very crunchy and nice as well.

Their Tiramisu is a bit special. As the outer part of the Tiramisu is cover with layer sponge cake. The layer sponge cake consists of different spices. Which remind me about the Indonesia layer cake. Something different and special.

The dark choc mousse will attract those who loves dark chocolate. I think I can classify myself as the dark chocolate lover category of person. The chocolate use in this cake is imported from overseas. My gal told me that it is not too bitter nor sweet. She said she loves it. Guess may be can order this for her birthday cake this year. 

Pavlova......... oh it's been quite sometime that I did not had this. Pavlova always reminds me about my years back in Melbourne. All the memories flew back. This mini Pavlova is quite nice. Give it a try!

They also served different type of scones, pastries and muffins. You should be able to get something that suits your taste buds here.

Chef Naza is the chef that bake the above different types of cakes, pastries, muffins, scones and etc.

LOCAL WEEKEND SPECIALTIES

Every week they will have different weekend specialties which I am going to elaborate further in the following post.

Week 1 - Roasted Chicken and Duck Rice, Popiah and Pie Tee

I was told that their roasted chicken and duck rice are on of their famous best sellers food. After I tried it, indeed I am agreed with them. While writing this post right now, I still cannot forget the chicken and duck meat. It is very tender and juicy. hmm...... perhaps I am going back soon over the weekend to fulfill my wish. Hahahahhahahah.......

I am actually not the popiah fan. But the popiah is quite nice and as for pie tee, it is very crunchy at the outer part and inside it is very juicy. My friends just put all that into their mouth in one go. They said its nice with the combination at one go.

Week 2 - Laksa Lemak and Bubur Pulut Hitam

Are you the lemak laksa fans? If you are, you will definitely like this. It is very lemak and spicy.

Week 3 - Penang Prawn Mee and Rojak Buah Buahan

Week 4 - Nasi lemak and Ice Kacang

WEEKEND LOCAL SPECIALTIES IS ONLY APPLY ON EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. FROM 12 NOON TO 3PM. COST: RM 20++ PER DISH.

ALA CARTE MENU

Beef Rendang served with steamed rice

It is basically local spices beef stew with coconut milk, chilli and lemongrass.

Mamak Mee Goreng

Fried yellow noodle with prawn, chicken meat, chicken egg, bean sprout, bean curd, potatoes and peanut sauce. I quite enjoy this mamak mee goreng as it has a rich aroma of peanut sauce use.

GRILLED GRASS FED BEEF SIRLOIN

Grill beef served with wild mushroom ragout, tomato relish and shallot sauce.

KOAY TEOW SOUP

Flat rice noodles served with rich chicken broth, fish balls, fish cakes, chicken meat and choy sum.

Spaghetti Pomodoro

TAGLIATELLIE CARBONARA

Tagliatellie served with roasted chicken breast, mushroom and cream.

You can choose to use chicken egg or duck egg for this the Char Koay Teow. I usually will opt for the duck egg as I feel that it is more favourable. The Char Koay Teow was presented with cone shape wrap with banana leave. When being served, they will just open right in front of you. It's like you are waiting for something special to review.

AMERICAN BEEF BURGER

It consists of Cheese, mayonnaise, tomatoes, cucumbers, onion rings, gherkins, lettuce, chicken egg, beef and served with sesame seed bun plus French fries.

To wrap up my blog, I would present you the following collage shots of  E & O scenery. It is quite a nice strolling place after coffee break/weekend local specialties or any ala carte food from the menu. Sometime, it's good to stop, sit back and just relax!

Ho Ping @ Kampong Malabar, Penang

We have been wanting to try Ho Ping for quite some times but the problem is to get a car park there. But during one weekend, we are so fortunate just to get a car park near Ho Ping in Kampong Malabar.

Ho Ping

It is located @ junction of Kampung Malabar (Japanese Street) and Penang Road.

My main purpose is to try their loh bak as Gill Gill recommend me to try it out when I posted about lor bak last year.

The coffee shop is full of people when we were there. We managed to get a table but hard to find chairs around. ^o^ Anyway.... we were quite lucky to get that sorted out in just a minute. After seating, I asked hubby to order some loh bak first as many people is ordering that. And hubby orders the following:

Bean curd, Spring Roll and Prawn Fritters

When this is being served, I asked hubby where is the loh bak? And he recall that he forgot to order. ^o^ Then he went back to order another plate of loh bak. My gal enjoys the prawn fritters.

Loh Bak

The loh bak is very different from the loh bak I tried before. As this loh bak is very crispy but it is not the same loh bak that I was after. But this loh bak is not bad. I am glad that I make an effort to try it out. ^o^

Sauce

Normally you will get the black colour loh bak sauce and this is in clear colour.

Chili Sauce

Chicken and Char Siew

We saw many people is after the chicken rice and each time I passed by Penang Road, I saw the Chicken Rice stall always full of people. So we give it a try!

The chicken and char siew is very tender.

Soup

The soup is quite nice too.... very mild type though with chinese herbs aroma in it.

Mee Goreng

My gal is after mee goreng. My hubby did not see that another stall is offering fried noodles. As he thought it is only Char Koay Tiaw and also fried rice. We should have ordered from another stall as my gal finds the mee goreng is too spicy for her even hubby asked not to put chillies. ^o^

We would like to try the Char Koay Tiaw, Char Mee and Fried Rice from another stall for our next visit as we cannot resist the aroma.....^o^

Peace and Joy Coffee Shop @ Lebuh China, Penang

During one weekend while we were searching around to have our breakfast, we recall that there is a coffee shop located in Lebuh Cina that always fill with people. So we wonder why there are so many people patronise the shop. So we try out ~

Kedai Kopi Peace & Joy Coffee Shop

When we enter the coffee shops, we were busy looking right and left, to and fro...... to see what people ordering. End up we come to conclusion and ordered:

Mee Goreng

You must be wonder why this mee goreng did not have chili on it. Well.... hubby asked the Indian boss not to put any chili for him. Hubby comments that the mee goreng tastes good. I had a try and I reckon, it will taste much more better with the chillies. ^o^

Bee Hoon Th'ng

My gal opts for the bee hoon thn'g and it is very mild in tastes but the bee hoon texture is good.

Hokkien Mee

Hubby ordered this for me and the tastes is just so-so only. But out of surprise, many people came and order this.
