Penang Day 2 – Part 5: Dinner and a Birthday Party

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Penang Day 2 – Part 5: Dinner and a Birthday Party

We went back early to have a rest and dinner before heading to a birthday party. After freshened up, played some simple boardgames, had a nap, off we went out to hunt for dinner.


The night view of part of Batu Feringghi. Lots of eateries there. There’s also night market along the whole stretch of road.


We reached Long Beach, recommended by our friend. Also asked us to looked out for the grilled buttered prawn.


We ordered grape ice blended, orange ice blended, pineapple ice blended, and watermelon juice. The ice blended in only RM4, and the juice is RM2.50(if not mistaken).The fruit juice is extremely cheap!


Left: A type of popiah, quite nice. No idea how much ;p I heard it’s Hainan Popiah but not sure.

Right: Mushroom soup. No idea how it tasted but I heard it’s so-so hahaha…


Left: Garlic Chicken Chop, very tasty! I’m the kind that don’t really like garlic but this is really tasty!

Right: O jien aka oyster omelette. Lots of oysters, very generous portion of oyster. You definitely can’t get this portion in Kuching with such price. I have no idea how much but it’s so much cheaper than what you can get in Kuching. Still, I prefer dry type ;p which I didn’t see any in Penang.


Left: Cha kueh tiaw, the only cha kueh tiaw we had during our stay there ;p

Right: The grilled buttered prawn that our friend recommended, I don’t remember how much but this kind of prawn won’t be cheap in Kuching. The price there is so much more cheaper than Kuching but I have no idea how much ;p It’s very salty but not bad.

After our dinner, we went back to our place and it rained! WAH! Lucky us! Else we’ll be WET as our car parked so far. It rained so heavily the whole night. Off we went to Minny‘s birthday party. This is the only blogger I met in Penang hehehe…

We reached there and there were so many people. Hung out and had some junk food. When the clock hitted 12, everyone sang birthday song and series of camwhoring started hehehe… She is TALL! She had to kneel down a bit to have photo with me. I’m so short… ;p At around 12.30am, we left as we need to wake up early the next day for our day 3 “adventure”.

Didn’t manage to meet other bloggers because of time constraint and worst still no contact number given to me! 😛

Finally end of day 2 hehehe… Don’t worry, you will get more parts in day 3(I think… ;p)

Penang Day 2 – Part 4: Back to Nature, Tropical Spice Garden

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Penang Day 2 – Part 4: Back to Nature, Tropical Spice Garden

Not as promised, I can’t add in the dinner and birthday post because it’s too long *LOL* So you will be expecting a part 5 coming tomorrow.


Was hungry after visiting the dam and Penang Forestry Museum. Went to an islamic coffee shop at Batu Feringghi for tea break. We had roti canai and teh tarik. I thought I had captured the name of the coffee shop but NO!! All I can tell you is that it’s opposite Kahleel(I hope I got the spelling right ;p), a food court runs by the Indians and they have so many branches around Penang. You will sure not miss it. It’s near End of the World seafood restaurant(will blog about it in other post).

The curry was not bad but the roti canai wasn’t in very good presentation ;p Price wise I think it should be much cheaper than Kuching. No idea, I didn’t pay hahaha…


After we’re done eating, we went to Tropical Spice Garden. I’m not sure whether you need to pay to go in or not because I saw the signboard but we didn’t see anyone paying. Hmm… No idea, or our friend had paid for us? The entrance is definitely not cheap. It’s RM13 per adult. We didn’t go to the garden and trailer ride, I guess this means we don’t have to pay unless we are going into those two places.


View of the Spice Museum, so small -.-” Smaller than my house.


Left: Cinammon on sale at the Gift Shop. Thought of buying something from there but at the end, went back empty handed because no idea what to buy hehehe… There’s many type of potpourri and even spice soaps that are nicely wrapped.

Right: Some equipments hanging on top of the museum’s ceiling.

Hmm… So, do you think RM13 to see this kind of thing is worth it? I don’t think they did pay for the entrance fee. If they did, we should be visiting more places there but we were only at the cafe area, the shop and the little musuem.


The view from across the road. Nice view but at the same time really scary. Honestly being greeted with this view everyday was making me a bit sad thinking of the tragedy that happened last time since part of Penang was hit by it before too.

Anyway, I do enjoy my stay in Penang especially the food. Part 5 will come tomorrow.

Penang Day 2 – Part 1: Brunch @ Kang Hoe Coffee Shop

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Penang Day 2 – Part 1: Brunch @ Kang Hoe Coffee Shop


Left: The place we’re staying. On the 15th floor.

Right: The morning view of the place we stayed. Just looked out of our windows from the bedrooms, this is what we got.

Armed with a car, the 4 Kuchingites that got no prior planning on where to go went out on their own to look for a place for breakfast. Went to many places and were mostly not opened, as for those already opened, we didn’t even want to go try them out *LOL*. We even tried to go to one of the shopping malls(don’t remember which one) to look for breakfast but to no avail. Hahaha… The breakfast ended up became brunch.


Left: We just drove around and ended up at Kang Hoe Coffee Shop. It’s more like a market to me, sort of like the market at Tabuan Jaya. Many stalls were not opened and we just made do with whatever we could find. Frankly the place is quite dirty hahaha… Still we just ordered and ate. Don’t ask me where this is. I have no idea at all. *LOL* We were driving without any plan.

Right: Soya bean milk with gula melaka. Don’t remember the price. ;p Never bother also.


Left: I’m not so sure what is this, if not mistaken it’s wantan mee. Portion was big! The price is not expensive at all but I don’t know how much hehehe…

Right: Don’t remember the name but it’s just like cha kueh. Very cheap too! Taste wise, ok la…


Left: Chu Chang Fen, it’s different from what you can get in Kuching. These got no fillings and topped with prawn paste, the paste tasted like jiu eng chai‘s paste except this is so much more thicker and sweeter. It’s also topped with sambal. The sambal is heavenly! Sweet+Salty+Spicy=YUM! However, this is not the best chu chang fen in Penang, that’s what my friend said. The price for this plate is RM2.60

Right: Fried bee hoon, only RM1!!! Portion is standard portion enough to feed an average eater. Where can you can get this kind of portion with this kind of price in Kuching? RM1 food in Kuching extinct already *LOL*

After breakfast, we head over to Toy Musuem. You’ll see the post tomorrow ;p

Trees Can’t Dance

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Trees Can’t Dance

Trees can’t dance because they are rooted ;p Actually just wanted to share with you about Trees Can’t Dance sauces from UK.
The one on the left is Sweet Chili Sauce. It tasted like Thai chili sauce. Great for Thai fishcakes, stir-fry and rice dishes. Also can be used for roast chicken or baked ham glazing. Not very spicy but those that can’t tolerate spiciness will feel that it’s very spicy.

The one of the right is Plum Dipping Sauce. It’s just plum sauce. Great for freshly cooked prawns, salad, for toast and many more. It’s up to you. It can be used anywhere you like.

What is so special about these sauce? They only use natural ingredients and maintain an ethical approach to every aspect of production. Their ingredients are planted without the use of pesticides, or herbicides and without any chemical or artificial fertilisers. They are licensed by the Soil Association. WAH! Got this kind of association.

Duc d’O Truffles

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Duc d’O Truffles

Continuation from the previous Duc d’O post…

This is Duc d’O truffles. Don’t you think it looks gross? ;p

It was supposed to be some nice chocolate shavings coating the chocolate but imagine the journey it went tru’ for being in the luggage for more than 12 hours from UK to Kuching.

I thought it’s small in size like the previous ones but the size doubles those. Taste wise? Milk chocolate with don’t know what kind of filling. Everything just melt in your mouth. Not so bad.
