Middle of nowhere assam laksa @ Balik Pulau, Penang.

During Chinese New Year, we got visitors all the way from Melbourne to visit Penang. We spent few hours with our guests to bring them around Balik Pulau and try out some of our local foods. We stop by Middle of nowhere for some Penang Laksa.

Nutmeg juice - RM3
Actually, personally I prefer this nutmeg juice compare to the white nutmeg juice. I found that the white nutmeg juice is too strong for my liking.

Penang Laksa - RM5/bowl
Our guests are actually one of the chef at an Italian restaurant in Melbourne. After he savour ed the Laksa, he and his partner felt in love with it. They loved the soup very much and was told to go back and try out his own version of laksa.
Overall, the laksa is quite nice and love the relaxing environment during this visit. The last visit was too crowded with full house customers.

Hai Wei Restaurant @ Tanjung Bungah, Penang

The restaurant that I am going to blog about today is a place at Tanjung Bungah. Most of the people who stay at Tanjung Bungah area would have known this place.
Actually we heard about this place for quite sometime. But we only visited this place few months ago and the latest was weeks ago.
Business was really good during our visit. The first visit we did not had the chance to try out their crab rice. So the second time we called for reservation of the crab rice. 
During our first visit, we tried:

Cincalok Prawn
All of us love the prawn very much. This is the first time for me to try savouring prawn cooked using cincalok. The prawn itself is very fresh.

Curry Tumis Fish
This dish is very appetising. It is actually tastes a bit like Penang laksa soup. A balancing of sweetness and sourness from the soup. Fish were very fresh too.

Crab Rice - RM79
If you would like to try this crab rice, you better call them and pre-book. I was fortunate on that day. I call around five something and was told that they still have crab rice for the day. Sometime, you can try your luck on the spot to see if you are lucky to get it.
Well, this crab rice is for 4 of us. Which off course including my princess. We were very full after savouring it. No wonder we were told that having crab rice would be enough. 
Well, we managed to finish all the crab but still left some rice.

Cincalok Squid - RM12
Well, we tried their cincalok prawn before and loves the sauces. So we decided to order cincalok squid. It was equally delicious for cincalok squid and cincalok prawn.

Jalan Jalan Cari Makan at Balik Pulau, Penang - Part 1

After the great Christmas dinner get together with my friend and family. We woke up late this morning. So we went to grab a quick bite at Georgetown area and doing some errands. After that hubby decided to visit Balik Pulau for a leisure walk around.

Balik Pulau Tau Fu Fah

First stop, we stopped by the famous tau fu fah stall which already moved into the car park area. (They were suppose operate on the main road - Jalan Balik Pulau.) You can park your car here if you were lucky to get some car park. Normally it's quite easy to get one but with a long weekend holiday + school holiday, you have to try on your luck!

It's a very hot day today at Balik Pulau but this does not stop me for having this hot tau fu fah. I am having this just standing beside the stall. You can opt for soya bean drink or others as well.
It's been quite a long time that I did not had a nice and rich aroma of tau fu fah. This stall is considering having quite smooth tau fu fah with the gula melaka syrup.

Have you ever tried vegetarian sushi before? I mean pure vegetarian and no sashimi or tuna. I never tried it before. This is my first trip to Sushi Kitchen. And I get to savour different types of sushi that make from healthy organic foods. Lately, you will see many people are going after organic foods for a healthy life style.

Interior of Sushi Kitchen
Which is a place where you get to relax and enjoy yourself. I think it is quite a nice place to catch up with friends, families and relatives. There are books, magazines, chess and...... that you could borrow to reads and play while you dine in there.
For the night, we ordered the following foods to try:

Nutmeg Juice ~ RM2.50
Since my companion are not so adventurous to try the nutmeg juice which the waitress recommended. So I am the one to take the courage to try. As the waitress told me that the boss of Sushi Kitchen make it himself. So off course..... I would like to try it since it is recommended, right? And I am glad that I did as the nutmeg juice are very nice and tasty. But I think a bit sweet for me though. As for my two companion they opt for green tea as it has free refill. But no refill for my nutmeg juice. hahhahahaa..... but end up I have free refill of green tea (RM2.00) too! :P
Happiness Family ~ RM26.80
Since it has 3 of us. So we ordered one of this to try since there are different types of sushi in there. And we are glad that we ordered this. As all the sushi are so tasty. We don't even used the wasabi at all. As the original taste is good enough to satisfy us. lol
Low Beauty Roll ~ RM6.80
This is one of the recommendations from the waitress that took our order. After some discussion, we decided to order this to try. And it is indeed a nice try. I believed that it is some combination of sweet potatoes, yam and......... It is deep fried and coated with some mayo. If you like potatoes, you would definitely love the textures of this dish.
Seaweed Fried Rice ~ RM10.80
This is an order by Allen as I think he is a "rice" person. Cant go without rice. Anyway.... he make a nice choice and a healthy one. As the rice used is brown rice. So you will taste something different from our ordinary fried rice. Some might find it a bit blunt. But it's ok for us. And the seaweed fried rice came with a small bowl of miso soup. The soup is quite tasty.
Sweet Potatoes Noodles ~ RM4.00
This is an order from Carrie. This is a sweet dish. The sweetness came from the sweet potatoes itself. We were hurry by her to take the photos of this dish ASAP as she told us that this dish had to be eaten while it's hot. Then we have to rush taking the photos of this sweet potatoes noodles. The dish name resembles to the taste of the noodles. It is sweet. Something different that I never tried before. The noodles are ok. Thought it would become lumpy after a while. But the textures still there. Give it a try if you are adventurous enough to try sweet noodles.
Fried Udon ~ RM7.80
This is my order that I asked the waitress to recommend. And she asked me to try the fried udon. I like the textures of the udon. It is not salty and have a nice combination of various vegetables in there. And the nice cutting shapes of carrot and heart shapes are adorable. One thing that I have to comment about this dish is to be aware that it is cook with deep fried ginger slice. If you cannot take ginger than perhaps you could omit this dish.
Golden Age (3pcs) ~ Rm8.80
Last but not least the last dish that both Allen and I savour is this plate of Golden Age. We were recommended by the waitress to try this and she loves it very much. And when she describe that it was topped with mangoes, I knew Allen would agreed to order this. As both of us love mangoes very much. And it comes with 3pcs or 6pcs I think. I decide to order only 3 to try. As good foods does not need more right? Hahahhahaa.....
And it is indeed very refreshing and nice combination. It is mouth watering...... If you love mangoes you would love this. You can give this a try.
Comments from customers were written on the wall. (Can you spot ours?) Also some healthy tips were paste on the wall and information about the boss of sushi kitchen can be found on the newspaper that was paste in the wall.
*****If you are interested in trying out the foods offered by Sushi Kitchen, please hurry and make a booking to try it since they are going to close down end of December. So the time are clicking...... pick up the phone and call them now for reservation. There are 8 more days to go........*****
