Set dinner menu

Their dinner set menu came with drinks + soup + main course + dessert.

Drink - Citrus Grapefruit Punch

Soup - Creamy tomato with sweet corn

Grilled White Tuna with Chessy Mushroom Sauce - RM29

My princess is having this. At first she enjoyed it very much but after she finished half of the plate, she told us that she was too full due to the cheesy sauce and the white tuna that are very rich.

Grilled Red Snapper with Butter Watercress Sauce - RM30

My sister in law is having this and she reckon that with the value of money, it is still acceptable.

Grilled Lamb Shoulder with Black Pepper Sauce - RM32

I am having this for my dinner. Basically, the lamb was grilled and top up with black pepper sauce. The lamb shoulder that I had is very nicely served. Each plate came with mashed potatoes and poached brocolli, snow peas and carrot. I have to stress out that they served very generous amount of mashed potatoes. But all of us feel that it has too much butter on the mashed potatoes though. 

Roasted Chicken with Chile Salsa - RM25

This is actually the second preference for hubby. The first one that he ordered was told that they run out of ingredients. So hubby settled with this. It turns out to be acceptable for hubby. 

Desserts - Pineapple Volcano

They really need to improve with their pastry. I suggested perhaps they can put into the oven and baked a little while before they served with the pineapple and ice-cream. 

FoOd PaRaDiSe review:

Overall, the set dinner is value for money. Which included drinks + Soup + Main Course and Dessert. Although during our dine in session they are lack of man power but they still try their best to serve every customer.

Some menu on the wall

Business hours: 7.30am - 2.45pm and 6pm - 11.30pm

Since, it's our lunch time and my gal would like to have some bah kut teh as she saw people ordering that. And she told us that she would like to have some too. So we order:

Bah Kut Teh

Zoom version of Bah Kut Teh

The Bah Kut Teh is dark in colour compares to the one in Song River Bah Kut Teh. My gal enjoy having the soup. And half way through we were top up with more hot Bah Kut Teh soup. My gal is so happy and sip more and more. The pork is very tender.

Yew Char Kuih

Deep Fried Chicken with Special Sauce

Hubby would like to order some chickens for our gal. And the person who took our order that told us it is only "little' spicy. But when the chicken arrived, both hubby and my gal said it is very spicy for them. So I am the one have to finish all of it. ^o^ For those who cannot take spicy food should omit this dish.

Deep Fried Fish

Hubby eyes went "BIG" when he heard that they have this deep fried fish. As it's been very long time that he did not eat this kind of fish. The reason being that I never prepare deep fried food in my kitchen. Unless some one do the deep fried job. So most of the time we get to eat deep fried stuff when we went back to my MIL place.

Hubby enjoyed the fish so much and we (my gal and I) are fortunate that hubby help us to take out the fish meat. lol

Stir Fry French Beans

French beans again???? Yes.... my gal loves it very much. And it looks similar with the Song River Bah Kut Teh stir fry french beans, right? That's what we said when the order came in. Anyway.... it's equally delicious.

We had a very full lunch after that and will come back when we need some "Chu Char" as they have extensive menu for us to choose. lol

Song River Bah Kut Teh @ Gurney Drive, Penang

During one weekend in February. We are thinking what to have for our breakfast in town area? Then we passed through Gurney Drive and hubby suggested that we try

Song River Bah Kut Teh

Location: 65 Persiaran Gurney, 10250 Georgetown.

Tel: 012-4088345

Since we never try the foods before, we decided to give it a try. ^o^

And since it is a cooling morning, we decided to order:

Bah Kut Teh

Well.... from the pictures, you can clearly see that their soup base is quite clear compare to the other bak kut teh. The tastes is a bit milder and you will hardly smell the Chinese herbs aroma. Which is quite good for people who don't like the herbs aroma.

Actually, when I am watching some cooking programme, I learn from the shows that the good bah kut teh soup base is very clear and no Chinese herbs aroma. ^o^ But I guessed it is up to individual tastes bud, right?

Claypot Fish Meat Bee Hoon Soup

We also ordered another fish meat bee hoon Soup to try. And my gal loves it very much. And she and my hubby finished the whole bowl. Lucky that I get to savour some before they finished. ^o^ However, I feel that the bee hoon is too soft for my liking. The fish meat is ok.

Stir fry french beans

The auntie took our order asked if we would like to have some vegetables. So hubby ordered one of these as my gal loves french beans a lot. And the tastes is very nice and off course my little gal ate most of this dish. lol

Overall..... the foods are not bad.

Most of us doesn't like the fish meat as the fish texture is too soft. lol But we finished it all.

Steam Garlic Prawn

The prawn is very nice and fresh. Yummy!!!!!

Stir fry tiny french beans with "boey Chai" and meat

This is quite a nice dish. We finished it very soon. lol

Seven Taste Tofu

This tofu is very nice too. Different tastes from what we had b4. If you never try this b4, may be you can try it out.

Stir fry black pepper ostrich meat

The ostrich meat is soft and tender. And it has a rich black pepper aroma. Yum! Yum!
Overall, we were satisfied with all the foods for the night. lol

Not too bad....... we tried the baked cheese prawn b4 and it's too rich.

Braised Sea Cucumber, Fish Maw, Mushroom and Brocolli

Overall, it's not bad. Worth for value for this dish.

Fry Spring Onion with Fresh Top Shell

The fresh top shell is too soft. And when you consume too many, it make you feel sick.

I forgot to snap the photos of fry bean sprout. But it was very salty. lol
