Happy Chap Goh Meh 2012

First of all, I would like to wish everybody “Happy Chap Goh Meh”. This year “Chap Goh Meh falls on the public holiday for school in Penang. So some might took this opportunity to celebrate Chap Goh Meh with families back in their home town. Whereas for me, since my gal has tuition, so we decided to stay put in Penang. ^.^

Following were our steamboat dinner @ home during CNY. So enjoy your Chap Goh Meh!

Goh Teo Kee Restaurant @ Sungai Nibong, Penang

Today, I am going to posts about Teo Chew cuisine. We went to have someTeo Chew foods in June at

Goh Teo Kee Restaurant

Location: No.2 Jalan Bukit Kechil Satu, Taman Sri Nibong, 11900 Sungai Nibong, Penang.

Tel: 04-6465072

They have another branch at Sungai Ara but my family and I personally prefer this branch than the other. ^-^

Braised Peanuts ~ RM1.50

After we were seated we were served with this braised peanuts.

After browsing through the menu, hubby went and ordered the following foods:

Seaweed Fish Ball Soup ~ RM6

The seaweed soup is nice. I think my gal finished most of the soup.

Stir fry bean curd and leek with bean paste and prawn ~ RM9

Well, this is one of the dishes that you will find in Teo Chew cuisine. Overall, the dish is quite nice and not too salty.

Fry Cod fish with soya sauce ~ RM29

The waitress is asking us if we want to have some fish and since my gal wants to have fish, so hubby ordered the fry cod fish to try. And it turns out to be great. The outer part is very crispy.

My gal eats lots of it which is good as cod fish has important source of Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and Vitamin A and D. So each time she is having cod fish, I will tell her, you eat lots of this, you will become very clever. So, she always eat as much as possible. ^-^

Curry Kapitan Spare Ribs ~ RM12

This is actually the first dish hubby ordered as he knew that I like curry kapitan very much. And the curry kapitan is quite nice. It has rich aroma. For the spare ribs it is very tender and juicy. It is not spicy for me though. So my gal gets to try this too. Her verdict is not bad. ^-^ As if she is like an expert.

Complimentary dessert ~ Green Bean with Sago Soup

This is the complimentary dessert for the day. Tastes ok but too sweet for my liking.

Steamed "O" Nee ~ Teo Chew Yam ~ RM12

This is one of the Teo Chew cusine desserts. Please ordered this when you placed your other orders as this take sometime to steam. But we ordered this when we about to finish our meal. So we waited quite sometime for this.

But we were glad that we waited. As this turn out to be nice. As it is not too sweet just perfect for our liking and furthermore, it is not so "jilat" in tastes. As previously, we tried the steamed "O" Nee in Goh Huat Seng Restaurant, their version is a bit rich. ^-^ But it depends on what kind of steamed "O" nee as different people have different requirement. ^-^ But however, I like the deep fried yam served in Goh Huat Seng restaurant.

This time we had 5 adults and 1 kid for steamboat. So we order MYR80 steamboat. Following are what we get:

I purposely take a photo of the modified fan by the restaurant owner. It helps to heat up the fire faster. Isn't it cute?

Steamed "O" Nee

Last visit we did not get the chance to try out this as I only saw that after our dinner and we were told that we need to wait for 15-20 minutes to be ready. So, this time, we order it b4 we start our steamboat.

Hmm..... I prefer the deep fried "O" Nee. This steamed "O" Nee is not too bad and they included water chestnut and gingko in it. But it make you feel full after a few spoon. LOL

Well...... everybody enjoyed the steamboat and every one is very full after the meal. LOL
