Good day Penangites! Venturing into RMCO, everyone is now practising the new norm. Some of us are affected by the rising cases in Penang. As grey as things could be, we have something to brighten up your day. As of 29th July 2020, Penang remains the only green zone in Malaysia.

Penang Is The Only Green State In Malaysia As Of 29th July 2020

While this is definitely a silver lining and a piece of great news to Penangites, it doesn’t mean our work is done. As a friendly reminder of the new norm in Malaysia, several practices are mandatory. They are, wearing masks while you’re out (especially in crowded places), keeping a good sense of hygiene as well as practising social distancing.

To most of us, those are already habits that we’re putting into practise every time we leave home. According to MalaysiaKini’s Covid-19 website, Penang is the only state that remains as a green zone as of 29th July 2020. The statistics measure the active cases in the past 14 days and not the total active cases.

Allow us to reiterate the fact that the work isn’t done here and we shouldn’t relax despite this good news. However, it’ll be okay to give ourselves a pat on the back for this joyful news.

#StaySafe

As a united nation, we can all work and strive to make our respective states green, albeit with some hard work. So, together, let’s do our part and abide by the SOPs. Stay safe, Penangites!

Soo Guan Restoran 思源茶室 @ Lebuh Presgrave, Georgetown, Penang.

July 27, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

This blog post comes courtesy of kenhuntfood.com. Great reviews backed up with some great photos too.

Originated from Kangar (Perlis), Soo Guan Restoran 思源茶室 is a long established restaurant specializing in dishing out Hainanese delights since 1950’s. The place is known for its classic, traditional Hainanese eats… their Hainanese Chicken Chop is especially popular amongst the other dishes. In its 3rd generation, the proprietor decides to open a branch in Penang… with the restaurant located at one of the heritage houses along Lebuh Presgrave. The food offering still revolves around Hainanese delights- from Chicken Chop to Hainanese Toasts and Stir Fries etc. Nothing spectacular about the interior decor but comfortable enough for a quick fix.

Soo Guan Hainanese Chicken Chop (Rm 17.50)

Colonial Hailam Style Beef Stew (Rm 28)

Mee Hailam (Rm 12.90)

Home-Style Mushroom Soup with Garlic Toast (Rm 10)

Soo Guan’s Mushroom Soup was lovely… thick, rich with bold earthy flavor; an instant differentiation between quality ones and watered down ones. The accompanying Garlic Toast was a lovely add-on. The highlight of the meal was probably Soo Guan Hainanese Chicken Chop… boneless Chicken thigh with batter fried till perfection and served with home-made Hainanese sauce…. which carried the unique, discernible Worcestershire sauce with a hint of Tomato. We were happy to see Onion slices on top of the Chicken Chop… which is deemed to be one of the important elements for Hainanese Chicken Chop. Great flavors, juicy Chicken but the portion can be a little larger. Equally delicious was the Colonial Hailam Style Beef Stew… a rich stew believed to have been cooked for hours; everything was cooked to fork-tender and carried a flavorful punch, would be even better if a puff pastry is served on top (to make it a pie). Lastly the Mee Hailam, classic stir fried noodles… the sauce was a little watery but the flavor was there. A pleasant surprise that they replaced Yellow Noodles with another type of noodles… which turned out to be firmer and less-soggy.

J Garden @ Belissa Row, Pulau Tikus, Penang.

July 24, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

This blog post comes courtesy of kenhuntfood.com. Great reviews backed up with some great photos too.

With an overwhelming Japanese food options across the Penang’s landscape, it can be a challenge to reconcile and think of which one to go to. But if you are looking for a place with modern, relaxing ambiance without putting a dent on the wallet to enjoy a quality Yoshoku (Japanese-styled Western Food), head to J Garden. Celebrating its 5th anniversary this coming August (2020), the Japanese-styled restaurant has moved from its previous location (Persiaran Bayan Indah) to its current place at Belissa Row (Pulau Tikus). Like its previous setting, the restaurant has a simple but relaxing atmosphere. On the menu, it carries all the well-loved signature dishes with over 50 unbelievable dining deals await, offering a wide spectrum of classic and contemporary Japanese meals.

Many Thanks to J Garden for hosting us.

Tender Chicken Nanban (Rm 25/ top up Rm 6 for set)

Authentic Cha Shu Don (Rm 22)

Melted Cheese Doria (Rm 24)

Starting with some of J Garden’s best sellers- the Tender Chicken Nanban is a dish not to be missed. It is definitely a dish that cannot be found else where… juicy, tender Chicken meat coated with airy batter being fried till perfection and topped with sweet-savory-sour, addictive caramelized Onion sauce. Good on its own or even better to enjoy with their creamy home-made Tartar sauce. While it is contenting to enjoy the dish alone, it is more tummy filling and palate-pleasing to make it a set (additional Rm 6)… with Japanese Rice, Miso Soup and various condiments.

Equally promising is the Authentic Cha Shu Don… home-made Japanese Cha Shu, cooked and braised for hours… is a dish ideal for someone who enjoys the pockets of fats melting in the mouth, accompanied with sweet, alluring J Garden’s special sauce. Fancy a Cheesy dish? Not an issue, the regulars’ all time favorite- Melted Cheese Doria is a dish to go for. Similar to Gratin, the Japanese-styled Doria is a way of cooking rice with white sauce on casserole, finished with baked Cheese top. J Garden’s own Béchamel sauce is addictively creamy and milky in flavor, rich but not overly cloying. The Chicken Rice beneath the Cheese blanket is flavorful on its own but strangely moreish if eaten together with the baked Cheese.

Seafood Soup Spaghetti (Rm 33)

Taste Omelette Curry Rice (Rm 23)

Pork Hamburger Steak with Demi-glazed Sauce (Rm 27)

Gorgeous Smoked Salmon Salad (Rm 16)

Romantic Tiramisu (Rm 16)

The Japanese-Western fare continues with Seafood Soup Spaghetti… al-dentely cooked Spaghetti served in a clear Consommé and topped with butter-fried Seafood (Prawns/ Scallops/ Fish/ Squid). The dish may seems bland at first but the Consommé packed a bunch of flavors. The soup is reasonably seasoned but backed with a clean but discernible vege-sweetness. As comfortable as it goes with the Spaghetti, the Seafood with a bold buttery aroma adds in another dimension to the dish. Fans of Japanese Curry will be happy to know that J Garden’s Taste Omelette Curry Rice is a good testament as to whether the restaurant serves good Japanese Curry. In this dish, a sheet of soft, pillowy Omelette is blanketing Japanese-styled Ketchup Fried Rice. Whether for the sake of balancing the daily diet or to assuage the guilt, J Garden’s Gorgeous Smoked Salmon Salad is a good choice. The dressing can be either Balsamic Glaze or Japanese Goma sauce… simple, straight-forward but delicious timeless combo. Put the meal to a complete stop by ordering their Romantic Tiramisu, one of the few sweet meal enders. The creamy Italian Coffee cake has a bold presence of liquor, a gentle cut to the sweetness and providing another layer of fragrance. While it may not be suitable for kids, it is certainly an indulgence for Coffee and Dessert lovers.

French Toast (Rm 10 for original/ Rm 12 for Sour Cream/ Rm 12 for Matcha Sauce/ Rm 12 for Orange Sauce)

Fruit Sandwich (Rm 14)

Japanese Curry Toast (Rm 9)

J Garden has recently rolled out its Tea Time menu, offering an array of Toast and light meals. Amongst the highlights are fluffy French Toast served with different options of sauces- Sour Cream, Matcha and Orange sauce… a change from the usual Honey combo. Japanese-styled Fruit Sandwich is also one popular item under the Tea Time menu- ecstatically pleasing and toothsome. Takeaway is also available, food items will be carefully packed in specially designed packaging… definitely a good idea for mini parties or gatherings.

Frandy Beach Bar at Batu Ferringhi, Penang

July 1, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

Another blog post freshly published by What2SeeOnline.com. I hope you enjoy!

There are quite a number of cafes and bars along the beach in Batu Feringghi, Penang and they can make for a rather relaxing and enjoyable visit, akin to a mini getaway from the bustling urban areas.

Frandy Beach Bar is a hidden gem of a place, popular among tourists and locals. The drinking and dining place with the vantage point of the Lover’s Isle not only sets the tone for a nice sunset but also a convenient place to enjoy leisurely beach activities.

Just take a step out of the place and you will find yourself on the sandy beach. You can take a sunset picture of yourself while taking a quiet stroll and perhaps venture out on activities like horse ride and fishing.

At Frandy Beach Bar, its open layout creates a relaxing atmosphere. Bar seating is available both inside and outside on the beach. If the weather is optimally sunny, it is best to grab a table outside.

The casual ala carte menu has something for everyone, with plenty of friendly priced dishes from East and West.

A group of us opted for several Malaysian specialties and Western dishes such as chicken parmigiana, lamb chop, nachos, calamari rings, and salad. The Malaysian dishes are clusters of savory bites and mains with options including satay, pandan leaf chicken, spring roll, and fried rice.

As for beverages, the menu has a selection of beers, wine, cocktails, mocktails, and fresh juices. We complemented the meal with glasses of wine and fresh fruit juices. All in all, this place is an ideal getaway place for a lovely feast among friends complemented by the sea breeze and calming seaviews.

To get to Frandy Beach Bar, take the right bath just after the Bayview Beach Resort. This hangout place serves food and drinks daily from 10am till 10pm and offers parking at RM2 per car.

Kitch Garden Cafe @ Rangoon Road, Georgetown, Penang.

June 29, 2020 By Keith Leave a Comment

This blog post comes courtesy of kenhuntfood.com. Great reviews backed up with some great photos too.

Another option for those who practice plant-based diet, Kitch Garden did not originally offer a plant-based menu when it first started but recently, they have converted into a vegetarian cafe, offering only a plant-based food menu. While the menu is not too big, it ranges from both local delights (like Assam Laksa, Curry Mee) to international dishes (Japanese Curry, Quesadilla etc). Budget watchers would be glad to know that all food items are reasonably priced here at Kitch Garden Cafe. Nothing overly fancy about the dining hall or restaurant setting… just a comfortable, air-conditioned space for a simple, fuss-free vegetarian meal.

Assam Laksa (Rm 13)

Japanese Curry Rice (Rm 14)

Taiwanese Burger (Rm 8)

Soy Milk (Rm 6)

One of their best sellers is Assam Laksa… which ticked most of the boxes right. The sourness was apparent and the unique Assam flavor was bold, the heat was there too (presumably from the Bird’s Eye chilies)… though we did not get the sweet seafood aftertaste in this. The rice noodles were nicely cooked with a silky smooth texture as well. Equally nice was Taiwanese Burger, fluffy bun sandwiching some seasoned Bean Curd covered in slight-sweet sauce. With the contrast of crunchy elements, the combo was a pleaser. Japanese Curry Rice on the other hand, was less-impressive. The rice was not Japanese Rice and the Curry was a little watered down… or not as thick, creamy as we would have hoped, though the Japanese Curry flavor can still be tasted. We washed down the meal with the lightly sweetened, creamy Soy Milk.
