cakes, desserts
Here is my continuation from Part 1. The photos above are bite-size of various flavored cakes coated with cream. There are the strawberry pink cakes, pandan flavored green cakes and the normal vanilla yellow cakes with colorful rice bits. Right at the top tier, not so obvious in the photos are chocolate bon bons or similar to the praline chocolates, but they are cakes as well.

buffet dinner
Here’s the delectable buffet consisting of mushroom cream coated steamed salmon, fried nestum prawns, fried mantis prawns in marmite sauce, some fresh vegetables and of course baked crabs. Being careful of my weight, I just had 1 plateful for the round of main dish and another round for fruits, cakes and Haagen Daz ice-cream.

flower crab
Recently I had buffet dinner in The Cafe in Midlands One Stop or Berjaya Hotel. The food has improved a lot since the Chinese cooks took over from the Malay style of dishes. Here are some photos that I like to post for my own fond memories where I can look back in my old age and pottering around with a cane (hopefully it won’t come to that stage so soon).

Above is the place of flower crab with slices of lemon. They are baked, chilled on ice and served cold. I love the white tangy seafood flavor of the crab that’s tantalizingly smooth. A picture certainly is worth a thousand words and let the photo above speaks for itself.

Buffet breakfast in Plaza Hotel
Here’s my buffet breakfast in Plaza Hotel. I have stayed here many times as there is easy road access and there are higher chances of getting a room here. Also, I had my usual glass of orange juice with the breakfast spread of “nasi lemak”, veges, hash browns and fried eggs.

Buffet Dinner
The above photos were taken from my old collection that I dig out from my PC. They were taken in October where I went to The Cafe Restaurant in a local hotel in Penang for its buffet dinner. I loved the free flow of Haagan-Dazs ice-cream with different flavors. There were curry prawns, broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, fish, chicken and much more.
Hari Raya Dessert
As the photos were taken around the Hari Raya celebration recently, I have taken some photos of the dessert, mango pudding, cakes, some traditional cookies and others. All in all, the buffet was quite worth is as there were many selection of epicurean food.

Beautiful Condominium
The combined photos above shows the beautiful condominium where we met up with an associate. I do not wish to disclose the name or the location but some of the scenery is inviting. Photo 1 shows the entrance with the swimming pool, Photo 2 is another shot nearer to the condo with huge fan-like palm leaves. Photo 3 is a close up shot of fuschia pink bourganvilleas or paper flowers with 3 petals each. Photo 4 is taken near the sport court behind the condo.
restaurant food
The combo food photos were taken from Grand Star Restaurant in Grand Continental Hotel. There was a wedding at the same time, so we took a table in a section for the public diners. Photo 1 is another table next to ours and I thought this should make a nice photo with the pretty pink curtains by the window. Photo 2 is our order of stir-fried vegetables with XO sauce. However, nothing beats Penang’s Maple Gold Restaurant. Photo 3 is my soup of chicken with ginseng roots. The chicken were removed for the shot of the ginseng roots. Photo 4 is the most expensive dish of cod fish with soya sauce and garnished with parsley and julienned ginger. That’s my dinner with my boss for our trip to KL.

I guess I am blessed to join this revolutionary program where bloggers get paid to review products and link to their blogs. Since joining PPP from 20th October 2006, I have earned up to USD$960 as of today. I plan to used PPP money to treat my parents, sisters and my boyfriend a good X-mas dinner on boxing day as I will be in Genting Highlands from 23rd to 25th December 2006. PayPerPost really rocks and is a very groovy program to join. Sponsors can get to advertise on blogs and have their products linked to many websites in a jiffy. I hope PPP will continue to prosper and keep getting venture capital.

Tim Sum in Penang
Every Sunday morning it is my ritual to have tim sum either in Global Bay in Batu Ferringhi or Bali Hai Tim Sum Market in Gurney Drive. I personally prefer to have my tim sum in Global Bay which opens from 10:30am if I am attending the 11:30 church service near my house. But recently I have also gone to Bali Hai’s Tim Sum Market in Gurney Drive which opens much earlier if I am attending an earlier church service in Georgetown Baptist Church at 10:30am.

Photos 1 and 4 show the wide selection or our tim sum order with lotus paste buns, red bean buns, ‘har kow’ or prawn dumpling for my overseas friends. Photo 2 is ‘lor mai kai’ or streamed brown rice with black shitake mushrooms, pork, dried prawns and Chinese sausage. Photo 3 is known as carrot cake or rice batter deep fried with some dried prawns inside. The photos are tantalizing and the tim sum tastes scrumptious. Tim Sum originated from Hong Kong and served in steamed bamboo containers as shown in the pictures above.

Tim Sum in Global Bay
The photo on the left is my usual order of scallop hor fun only from Global Bay at RM5 per plate. On the right is chinese tea where you drink from small tea cups.

Won Kok Restaurant
Just last night, I dined in this new restaurant known as Won Kok which was opened last week in Gurney Plaza’s basement floor. It was my second time within a week and I ordered the same “emperor’s” dish, being someone who appreciates good food.

Let the above picture speaks for itself. As you can see, it was full of black shitake mushrooms, my favorite, and real tangy white crab meat with bits of dried brown scallops sprinkled generously. Also added were four big prawns and also mock red crabstick. The noodles were Hong Kong style of fried hard crispy yellow strands poured over with the thick oyster sauce gravy like any local hot plate noodles. It was pure ambroisia! No wonder this little restaurant is always crowded with diners queuing up since its grand opening.

My friend also ordered the same dish which came together and I had their boiled special drink with ginseng and red dates but I thought it was too sweet for my liking; so the next visit, I ordered mineral water!

Fishing Village Restaurant
Last night, my boss and I had our dinner at this obscure hidden restaurant by the beach in a village. We got to know this little restaurant by word-of-mouth from my sister’s Intel colleagues. It was supposed to be my treat to my boss, but he ended up paying RM95 for the meal. I ordered frozen lobster which sells at RM10 per 100gm as compared to fresh live lobster at RM18 per 100 gm. So they prepared 700 gm frozen lobster thermidor as shown in Photos 1 and 2. It was full of lobster meat, creamy cheese, button mushrooms, onions, spring onions and crispy bits sprinkled on top of the lobster meal. The meal cost RM70 and the succulent white crustacean meat tantalized my taste buds. It was pure ambroisia! I also order plain stir-fried brocolli (photo 3) and chinese ‘sar hor fun’ (photo 4) which is rice batter layer cut up and fried with vegetables, garlic and prawns. Let the above picture speaks for itself.

The address of Fishing Village Restaurant is 765, MK2, Teluk Bahang, 11050 Penang and the telephone number for reservation is 604-885 2084.

Chicken Rice Shop
Recently my partner boss and I went for dinner at Gurney Plaza’s Chicken Rice Shop at the basement beside the food court. I have taken some pictures as shown above. Photo 1 shows the roasted chicken that comes in a set with rice, soup, dessert (Photo 3), ‘taugeh’ (or bean sprout), pounded ginger and chilly sauce with a drink that my friend ordered. I had ‘pie ti’ (Photo 2) and ‘kailan’ or chinese kale (Photo 4). I hardly take rice so as not to add to the carbohydrate intake. I guess my selection of dishes are healthy and mainly vegetables.

‘Pie Ti’ is a cup shaped fried batter filled with julienned turnip, carrots, onions and shitake mushrooms stir-fried into a mixture, seasoned with soya sauce and oyster sauce.
