Duck Noodles

I’m not saying it was superb, but still tasted good, and worth 4 out of 5 stars (^^)
In fact, the soup was really nice, I’m a soup person and love herbal soup very much!! At least, it was up to my standard. hehe…

My All Time Favorite – The Scrumptious Golden Toast

Another Favorite – Toasted Bun

Teluk Intan Chee Cheong Fun

Surprisingly, Teluk Intan Chee Cheong Fun also got it there.
It tasted good. Well, I think it was as good as the famous one in Teluk Intan =)

There are actually two cafes in Imbi market which are equally well known for the Hainan coffee and roti bakar (toasted bread). Another one is Ah Weng Koh. Honestly, I prefer Keng Swee Cafe the most. It has my 4 stars rating, out of 5  (^0^)-☆

In 2010, we went on a Hong Kong trip together.
We popped in to this tiny patisserie and wanted to try some decent French desserts.

Creme Brulee and Chocolate Blueberry Dome

Yummy Creme Brulee!!

Was very much enjoying it, you can see it from my face (*^o^*)
 

But then, it was quite unpleasant to found out that the macaron topped on this Chocolate Blueberry Dome, lost its crisp and crunch…, minus point.
 
A Decent Tiramisu

“The art of making Xiao Long Bao is a delicate process. The flour wrap must be of a certain consistency – too thick and the dumpling is doughy, too thin and it will break easily. Even the soup within cannot be too abundant or too greasy; nor can the meat be overcooked. At Din Tai Fung, each piece of Xiao Long Bao is wrapped in fine – yet firm – translucent skin, and each dumpling has at least 18 exquisite folds. The meat within, steamed to perfection, is plump and juicy to the bite. Each Xiao Long Bao is made fresh when you order.”      - Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐

My Groupon deal last year. English Afternoon Tea for 2 at David Brown’s Restaurant & Tea Terraces for RM39 instead of RM88.16

If looking for some cool places to escape, this would be one to consider. Compare to Suffolk House, the food here wasn’t really that great and the service was kinda slow and disappointing. So, here’s my rating – 3.5 out of 5 stars.

If you haven’t try Suffolk House, then you should plan a day to enjoy a wonderful afternoon there and if you dun wish to sweating under the hot sun, ask for the table inside the restaurant as what I did. The staffs were friendly and attentive =(^.^)=

Finally!! Oh Sushi is here in Penang. It was my usual hang out place with my gal pals in KL and we would normally go for the ramen, a must order. There was one I particularly like but too bad, it was really long time ago thus I’ve forgotten the name

Salmon Sushi, RM23

Kani Tamago Maki, RM5.80

Spicy Soft Shell Crab, RM15

Hotate Ramen, RM18

Unagi Gozan

Suppose my rating for Oh Sushi is 4 out of 5 stars but the egg for the ramen was really disappointing. The egg yolk was fully cooked!! No way, I’m expecting egg with runny egg yolk in my bowl. So, I’m giving them 3.8 stars.

My fav is the Seafood Spicy Olio Pasta. It was really really good, consistently good W(`0`)W

Couple of weeks ago, I got a lunch date with my Japanese classmate at Bullring

You know, I was excited because I had been long craving for ramen (^-^)
Obviously, this is not an authentic Japanese restaurant, but I was rather satisfied.

Teriyaki Chicken Donburi

Wagamama Ramen

I give 3.5 out of 5 stars for the food. Worth a try. I had the ramen (yea, you knew). Fresh ingredients and tasty soup but the noodles weren’t really good, a bit soggy.

Mount Fuji, is another Japanese restaurant in Bullring. I would definitely pay a visit one day (^_-)

All right, a bit of story telling and then the sharing of mouth-watering patisserie.

I had stopped blogging for a super long while and was thinking and thinking should I continue or just quit.

And now, a person that I would like to specifically mention here who owns the blog - Yummy Station

He was the one encouraged and inspired me to join the fun in blogging world. One day, we chatted online and I told him that I was in a dilemma and bla bla bla… He then said, “keep going, why stop?” and bla bla bla…

Thank you, my dearie. I got you.

So, what I’m up to recently.

With the strongest support given from my loving family, at age 29, I quitted my job and went back to school. I got nothing left, but the guts and strong wills to take the major leap.

Well, I’m now an MBA student, studying in UK…shame to mention it as I’m still speaking broken English and showing poor writing skill. boooo…

Ok, no more story but something spoiling to share. Enjoy!! Happy Weekend (^-^)
