Domino's Pizza New Spicy Fling Menu

We Malaysians love Italian food right and the one that has become our staple besides pasta is pizza. In our country, the two most prominent pizza makers name Pizza Hut and Domino's Pizza. So have you tried the latter's latest menu? We have just sampled Domino's Pizza New Spicy Fling Menu and boy it was truly a "fling" that we all needed. 😋Domino's Pizza New Spicy Fling MenuThose who have a penchant for everything spicy must try this New Spicy Fling menu from Domino's. Personally, I love how rich and flavourful the spices are without truly burning your lips and tongue. In other words, the pizzamaker got the right balance for the spiciness of their latest sauce. Apparently, this Top Secret Sauce Spicy Fling pizza will only be available for a limited time only. So you got to hurry.Domino's Classified Chicken Pizza with their New Secret Spicy SauceWe ordered Mozzarella Cheese Tarik Classified Chicken Pizza and Mozzarella Cheese Tarik Chicken Pepperoni Pizza. The former was garnished with the mouth-watering spicy-chili dressing while the latter was our regular pizza that everyone could enjoy. Of course, we started our dinner by trying the new flavour of pizza first and surely it did not disappoint.Always "upgrade" your pizza to have cheese stuffed in the crust!Again, the chili sauce was just spicy enough for our liking and it complemented our pizza and its topping really well. So this new "fling" from Domino's it is a must-try for all pizza lovers! A usual, we will upgrade the crust of our pizza to have cheese stuffed inside of it. How about you? Nothing beat indulging in pieces of pizzas with delicious, gooey cheese right?Garlic Cheese Onion RingSomehow, there seems to be a lack of cheeseDomino's Fabulous Four Party BoxApart from Pizza, our order included Chicken Crunchies, Garlic Cheese Onion Ring, and our favourite Domino's Party Box. This time around we chose the Fabulous Four Party Box which consisted of roasted chicken drummers, Cheesy Mozzarella Stix, Chicken Crunchies (a la chicken "popcorn"), and mini cinnadots. We all sure love chicken, cheese, and of course dainty pillows of mini bread dusted with sugar and cinnamon.Do you love pizzas?So have you had any Pizza lately? If you are looking for Italian food and something spicy, then you really have to try the new Domino'z Pizza Spicy Fling Menu. They were really appetizing and scrumptious. It is a shame that I had forgotten to order the limited-time Spicy Fling Chicken Wings. I wonder why! Hmm...😅 All in all, our dinner cost us around RM100 which I thought was reasonable especially after I had ordered cheese to be"stuffed" into the crusts.

6 Different Food For Mother's Day Celebration

Last Sunday was Mother's Day and it was a day off for my wife, meaning that she did not have to cook not prepare anything for all of us. Instead, we were the ones who would be serving her with food. These are the 6 different food for Mother's Day that my wife got to indulge in. Though not the usual buffets spread that we have had, it was a great day to stuff her silly.6 Different Food For Mother's Day1. Chocolate CakeDespite our pleas for her not to do any cooking or baking on that day, my wife insisted that she wanted to bake a cake for our late mother to commemorate her on Mother's Day. Being the filial daughter-in-law that she is, she baked a chocolate cake using my late mom's recipe. I am sure that my mommy will be touched. We truly enjoyed the cake which was really chocolatey and scrumptious.Familiar homey recipe2. Kuih Keria Antarabangsa MelakaFirst up was her favourite Kuih Keria Antarabangsa which happens to be one of the most famous tourist food in Melaka. Yes, those who visit Melaka must try this sweet ring-like delicacy. Crispy and sweet on the outside and jolly soft on the inside. This is perfect for binge-eating sweet bites as we drive around, sightseeing in our beloved state. Certainly, my wife loved every bite of it as it had been a while since we last had some due to the Covid-19 pandemic.One of Melaka's most well-known food!3. Sushi WafuFor lunch, we had decided to dine in one of the more affordable sushi restaurants near our home. Though it is not the high-end Japanese restaurant that we enjoy patronizing, Sushi Wafu still serves delicious Japanese food that the whole family will love at cheaper prices. We particularly love the ambiance and the "bottomless" ice cream that we walloped non-stop. Wifey really had a feast as she is a Japanese food lover like all of us in the family. Ha 😁ItadakimasuWe all love Japanese food including oranges 😋4. Yomie's Rice Yoghurt DrinksAfter eating food from the land of Rising Sun, we headed to another favorite place of ours-Yomie's Rice Yoghurt. Those who want a healthier choice of beverages besides bubble milk tea really need to try the unbelievably tasty Yomie's Rice Yoghurt Drinks. Our number 1 choice is of course their best-selling Purple glutinous rice yogurt drink. Wifey was very pleased to sip the yoghurt and "eat" the purple glutinous rice from Taiwan. Burrpp! 😁5. McDonald's Nasi LemakAs for dinner, I had ordered my wife's favourite Nasi Lemak Mekdi. It was a delightful sight, seeing my wife enjoying her comfort food. She loves the lip-smacking sambal that goes really well with the rice and of course the crunchy and super-spicy fried chicken. Throw in some of the McD nuggets, a few burgers, and cokes, our dinner was Yum! Yum! Yum!6. Ice Creams To complete the day, of course, we needed desserts to sweeten our taste buds. After eating spicy fried chicken and fiery sambal, of course something sweet and icy was needed to douse off our tongues a wee bit. We had Chocolate Mint and Durian flavours ice cream for our desserts. Both these ice cream had really swept us off our feet with their savoury texture and flavour.These are but some of the more notable food that we had enjoyed on Mother's Day. Though it was nothing to shout about, we really had a great time indulging in morsels of yummy food that we love. My wife was beaming the whole day since she got to try all her favourite food. So what did you guys have on Mother's Day? Again happy belated Mother's Day to all the mothers in the world.

If you are looking for one of the "coolest" cafes in Penang, then you will need to pay Ice Cafe Penang a visit. Situated along Victoria Street in Georgetown, it is not only a cafe serving cold "chilling" desserts but also a place for you to cool off thanks to its icy room temperature. Yes! This eatery is aptly named Ice Cafe because you can enjoy your food in a freezing, cold ambience. It is also the very first ice-themed cafe in Malaysia!Ice Cafe Penang-The Coolest Cafe In George TownFor the uninitiated, Ice Cafe Penang is located on the 1st Floor of a building which is a stone's throw away from The Canteen-China House. That means you have to take a flight of steps before you could feel the drop in temperature. The moment you arrived at the doorstep, you will be greeted by a fantasy-like entrance. Push the door open and you are now in an icy, magical place that appears to be the craft of Elsa. We didn't see the Ice Princess though. 😂Are you ready to step into a Winter Wonderland?It is evident that we visited Ice Cafe Penang for its "icy" interior and to experience dining in a "freezing" cafe. We visited the cafe around evening time and it was indeed quite cold, probably around 20℃ with all the air conditioners blowing at full blast. Thankfully, we were the only ones and hence had the whole winter wonderland to ourselves.Ice Cafe Penang looks like an Ice Castle!We need to find an even "colder" spot 😋After admiring the wintry cafe for a moment, we started to order our desserts. Judging from the menu, Ice Cafe Penang does sell mouth-watering seafood. Unfortunately, we were only there for appetizers before heading to Chulia Street for local street food. After scrutinizing the menu for desserts, we made up our mind to try their Bubble Waffle With Ice Cream and Cream Puff With Ice Cream. We should indulge in cold food right to match the theme of our cafe. Ha 😁You can find a life-size Igloo and a few polar bears in Ice CafeJordan and Jasmine could not get enough of the IglooSay Hi to the polar bears 🙋In no time, we began to explore this Ice Castle. Our kids have a fun time getting in and out of the huge igloo which looks like the real thing. Standing next to the igloo were a few adorable, furry polar bears. We then checked out a big room filled with icy furniture and of course lots of Christmas trees. The Ice Bed and bathtub were really cold to touch. And there were even cubes of "ice" filling the tub for those who want a chilling dip. Ouh! There was a fireplace but no sparks were flying. Indeed we had a lot of fun and took many pictures in this amazing Ice Cafe Penang. 😊You Will Love The Frozen Ice-Themed DecorationsI bet this is where Elsa sleepsWhat is in this cage?There's even a fireplace!It's really cold *shivering*Who wants to take an iced bath?Soon, our desserts made their way to our table. Up first was the Bubble Waffle With Ice Cream (RM24). I love the waffles which were crispy and thanks to the ice cream and chocolate Hershey syrup, the whole plate of dessert was truly dainty and delicious. Though I am not a "fruity" person, I thought the Kiwi slices, strawberry, Attap Chee, and red beans truly complement the scoops of ice cream and bubble waffles.Bubble Waffle with Ice CreamCream Puff with Ice CreamWho wants some sweet treats?Up next was our Cream Puff With Ice Cream. Instead of waffles, cute cream puffs were the main attractions together with a few sticks of chocolatey love letters as well as 2 scoops of ice cream. This time around fragrant caramel was used to garnish our dessert, complete with (again) Kiwi slices, strawberry, Attap Chee and a few red beans. Both our desserts were equally enjoyable and pleasantly sweet. I bet being in a cold, freezing room did help to elevate its texture and taste huh!Ice Cafe Penang Desserts MenuIce Cafe Seafood MenuHopefully, we could return to try their seafood.All in all, my whole family enjoyed the desserts and definitely had an awesome time exploring this beautiful Winter Wonderland. We hope that we could return one day to try out their seafood platter as well as other icy desserts. Some say that the price is a bit expensive but I guess it is justified as you need a lot of electricity to maintain this Frozen Kingdom right? Those who love to take Instagrammable photos should really pay Ice Cafe Penang a visit. You will have lots of fun here. At least I know we did. So if you plan to visit Penang, Ice Cafe is definitely a must-visit for you and your family. 😋Ice Cafe PenangAddress: 193 (Level-1), Lebuh Victoria, George Town, 10300 Pulau Pinang.Facebook: www.facebook.com/IceCafeContact: 04-2621193Opening Hours: Daily (10:30p.m. - 7:30p.m.)Map of Ice Cafe Penang


Chinese New Year is just 2 weeks away and by now a lot of us are busy stocking up our food and snacks. One of the must-have during Chinese New Year is, of course, Bak Kwa aka Dried Meat! Enter Wing Heong Bak Kwa (永香肉乾) which is arguably one of the best bak kwa you can buy in Malaysia. Loyal fans can't get enough of their Bak Kwa which has been available since 1972. Now it is available in beautiful gift box known as Wing Heong Town. 😁Wing Heong Bak Kwa (Dried Meat) Town Gift BoxGet this limited edition Wing Heong Town Gift BoxA lot of foodies will still prefer the bak kwa from Wing Heong mainly because of its delectable taste. Do you know that each piece of Wing Heong Bak Kwa is created by smoking the dried meat over a bamboo mesh.

Though it might not be easy to grill the slices of dried meat over a bamboo mesh, the people behind Wing Heong Bak Kwa believes in producing the best bak kwa! Perhaps that is why their dried meat is unbelievably delicious.Learn about the history of Wing HeongMarinated with their secret family sauce, each slice of the Wing Heong Bak Kwa is made only from first-grade meat that has never been frozen before! What? So that means the premium meat used is fresh from the farm and straight to the grill. No wonder their bak kwa is so fragrant and juicy. Grilled to perfection over a bamboo mesh, each bite of the dried meat is incredibly succulent and tasty. In fact, there is not a hint of dryness at all even though it is supposed to be "dried" meat. Dayum! A perfect grilled piece of dried meat is indeed sinfully yummy food!Wing Heong Bak Kwa is Grilled To Perfection Over Bamboo MeshThis year, I have got myself one of the limited edition Wing Heong Town Gift Box for Chinese New Year. Do note that there will only be 1,500 boxes available. I am sure right now there is not many left.

Since we Malaysians are currently under quarantine because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of us could not dine in restaurant and hawker stalls. So besides home-cooked meals, sometimes we love to indulge in fast food as well. So yesterday we tried Nasi Atuk KFC, Zinger Stacker and Durian Balls (and of course more) for our dinner. After all we need to support local business right?Nasi Atuk KFC, Zinger Stacker and Durian Balls For DinnerReady to dig in!I have been wanting to try Nasi Atuk KFC for quite some time now. I wanted to know how does Nasi Atuk KFC compare to Nasi Lemak McD. McDonald's have been doing a great job with their version of Nasi Lemak which I would rate as great and even better than some Nasi Lemak being sold elsewhere. Of course the Nasi Lemak from McDonalds is pricier than the ordinary version.Nasi Atuk KFC-Is it good?Not bad I would say.We ordered 3 boxes of Nasi Atuk KFC. Each box consisted of 2 pieces of spicy fried chicken, hard boiled egg, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber, sambal and of course nasi lemak. I love how fragrant and creamy the rice was. The 2 pieces of spicy fried chickens that we had were crispy and of course juicy. My wife and daughter prefer the fried chicken from McDonald's but I have always been a big fan of KFC.Nasi Atuk KFC or Nasi Lemak McD?The spiciness of the sambal was just nice!Don't forget to eat your Nasi Atuk KFC with "Atuk" (Grandpa) Ok!Another interesting thing about Nasi Atuk KFC was the sambal. Unlike McDonald's sambal, the sambal for Nasi Atuk KFC is less spicy and came with a hint of sweetness. So if you cannot stand the spiciness of Nasi Lemak McD, you might want to opt for this version from KFC. So which is better? McD or KFC? It depends on your preference and it boils to the fried chicken and the sambal. My biased vote goes to Nasi Atuk KFC but then again they are mighty close and both are equally delicious. Nasi Atuk KFC comes with a price of RM17.99.Zinger Stacker For Burger LoversLook at the oozing cheese and mayonnaiseZinger Stacker is indeed sinfully lip-smacking!Besides Nasi Atuk KFC, I also ordered another gargantuan Zinger Stacker for myself! It has been a while since I last had such a huge burger for dinner. If you love meat, you will definitely want to try out Zinger Stacker which is made of 2 spicy zinger fillets which are super crispy on the outside and damn tender on the inside. Throw in oozing cheese and you will be getting a burger that will make you drool non-stop! I know I truly enjoyed mine! Dayum! Who cares about calories right? This reminds me of the all-meat Zinger Double Down. Durian Balls with premium D24 Durian FillingThese durian balls were heavenly!Besides Nasi Atuk KFC and Zinger Stacker, we also tried the Durian Balls from KFC. I was skeptical initially as it says that each of the Durian Balls contains 100% pure premium D24 Durian filling. The moment I sunk my teeth into my Durian Ball (there were only 5), the warm durian filling started to ooze out and oh boy! It felt so good that my taste buds were also dancing. Certainly, authentic D24 Durian had been used for the filling indeed. Even my wife gave her nod of approval, saying it was really great.The nuggets and fries were not bad at all!We all enjoyed our dinner from KFC!So which one do you like more? Nasi Lemak McD or this Nasi Atuk KFC?Of course we ordered the usual nuggets and cheesy wedges as our side orders. I noticed that the fries from KFC tasted better than the ones from McDonald's. We were filled to the brim as slowly indulged in our dinner while watching TV. Throw in some carbonated drinks and our tummies almost exploded. It is a shame that I have yet to try the tandoori chicken from KFC. Perhaps next time. But for this round, we truly enjoyed all our sinfully scrumptious Nasi Atuk, Zinger Stacker and Durian Balls. Have you tried them?


The Canteen at ChinaHouse-An Unforgettable Dinner in Georgetown, Penang

Many restaurants and cafes in Penang are amazing but the one that really grabbed our attention was The Canteen at ChinaHouse (唐人厝). To be precise the Canteen at ChinaHouse is a bar, bistro and a venue for live performance. However, since we visited joint during the Covid-19 pandemic, there was of course no live performance. Still the ambiance was spectacular to say the least. That alone warrants a recommendation from me for you to visit this place which serves amazing spread of delicate food.The Canteen at ChinaHouse-An Unforgettable Dinner in PenangBefore we look at what we had devoured, here's a brief introduction about The Canteen at ChinaHouse. Apparently, this bistro (Canteen) is just part of ChinaHouse. For the uninitiated, ChinaHouse concists of 3 buildings adjoined together by a central courtyard. There are 14 different sections and the Canteen is just one of it. For the record, ChinaHouse is the longest cafe in Penang spanning 400 feet (120 metres) from end to end. It is located between Victoria Street (Lebuh Victoria) and Beach Street (Lebuh Pantai).Stage for Live PerformanceAdore the splendid decorations in The CanteenIt is like an art gallery!The Canteen is located along Lebuh Victoria while the other famous cafe at the other end is Kopi C which you can access from Lebuh Pantai. It is amazing that ChinaHouse has different menus catering to different customers. There is also a fine dining restaurant in ChinaHouse known as BTB aka Bon Ton Bistro. Hopefully we will be able to visit ChinaHouse again to enjoy the food at Kopi C and Bon Ton Bistro. Now let's get back to Canteen, shall we?So what drinks do you want to order?You would want to indulge in these toothsome cakesWhat is underneath the table?The Canteen at ChinaHouse is the place to be if you want to enjoy live music while savouring your delectable food. The moment we stepped into The Canteen, there was a makeshift platform for performers to strut their stuff.  However when we visited the bistro, it was a shame that we could only sample their exquisite food. There were not many patrons yet as we were quite early.Love the vibe and music in The CanteenIt's a pretty romantic place for dates as well 😍Obviously, the Canteen was very popular with foreign tourists as we were the only locals there. I am sure they were there not only for the food but also the unbelievable backdrop. I must say that the ambiance in The Canteen was really soothing and vibrant, setting the mood for you to relax and unwind. The decorations were really full of vibe and colours with impeccable antiques and brilliant lightings. In fact the whole place looks like an art gallery with beautiful abstract paintings gracing the walls and different backgrounds for you to take those insta-worthy snaps.Our drink for the night-Lychee Cranberry LemonadeThe enigmatic Candle Apple Red colour took center stage here, illuminating the whole place and infusing with lively background music. Of course by then we had already ordered our food and beverage. Since this is a bistro where a lot of alcoholic beverages are served, we only ordered one drink that our little kids could enjoy as well-Lychee Cranberry Lemonade which I thought was refreshing and a bit different from what we usually had. Perhaps it was the cranberry. Nachos For AppetizerKids love nachos for sure!First platter to land on our table was my Nachos. The last time we had one was 5 years ago at Hard Rock Cafe Melaka. Certainly, this appetizer had immediately whetted our taste buds. I mean what not to like right? The crunchy tortilla chips, the combo of melted cheese, sour cream and salsa really complemented the jalapeno peppers and olive perfectly. Honestly, we wished that were more tortilla chips for our gaping drooling mouths.Pizza of The DaySomeone is digging the burnt cheese and tuna chunks 😁Our kids had pizza of the day which was a hand tossed tuna pizza. We really appreciate the generous chunks of tuna covered in melted cheese. The burnt cheese and tuna chunks really combined to give you that unmistakable mouth-watering fragrant. The basil leaves and chopped onions scattered on the thin-crust pizza also did wonder in elevating the flavour and aroma of this savoury Italian delight. I would rather it second to the Salmon Pizza we had at Fugo Ryori.Ayam Perchik Will Tantalize Your TastebudsWifey gave her nod of approvalThe ayam perchik was tender and flavourfulThe next main course for my wife's Ayam Perchik aka Coconut BBQ Chicken. Honestly, this was an eye-opening dish that even my wife gave her nod of approval. Served with cashew salad with loads of basils and green mango, the Ayam Perchik dish also came with bite-size roast sweet potatoes. The coconut (Santan) rice was so good that my wife even waxed lyrical about it. I tried a few spoons and couldn't agree more. Every grain of the rice was fluffy and tasty. The chicken was flawlessly marinated with the juice oozing out the moment you sink your teeth into it. I bet the green lemon sauce played a huge role to make the whole package even more scrumptious.Smoked Salmon BagelExquisite and yet delightful!It swept me off my feet for sure (especially the smoked salmon)The highlight for our (my) dinner was the huge Smoked Salmon Bagel. Of course I was the only one who savoured this "hamburger" as my wife and children found the combination of bagel, rocket salad and smoked salmon slices were too exotic for their palate. Being a big fan of salmon, I must say that I love the how well the salmon slices were smoked and they went really well with the balsamic and rocket salad of course. If was an acquired taste and one that I truly want to try again. 🤤Salted Caramel Cheese CakeLast but not least, we sweeten our already pleasant dinner with a piece of Salted Caramel Cheese Cake. It was rich, firm and of course with a hint of brine. I love how the nectarous caramel added more texture to our cheesy piece of dessert. It was so good that we almost forgot to take a picture. Guess we were craving for it too badly. LOL 😂Doddled this as I was in the moodIn the Chinese CourtyardWe will definitely return to ChinaHouse again!After our dinner we actually went to do some sightseeing and snapped some photos. All in all The Canteen at ChinaHouse is really a great place to have your dinner or maybe supper. Hopefully during our next visit, we could try out the food at their Kopi C cafe and Bon Ton Bistro. So if you happen to be in Penang or Georgetown to be precise, do pay The Canteen at ChinaHouse a visit. I would go as far to say it is a must visit cafe in Penang.The Canteen at ChinaHouseAddress: 183-B, Lebuh Victoria, George Town, 10300 Pulau Pinang.Facebook: www.facebook.com/TheCanteenAtChinaHouse/Contact: 04-2637299Opening Hours: Daily (9:00a.m.-2:00a.m.)Map of The Canteen at ChinaHouse


Being Japanese food lovers, my family and I enjoy dining in Japanese Restaurants to savour Japanese cuisines. So during our anniversary celebration, I decided to bring my wife to Fugo Ryori (富国料理) Japanese Restaurant Melaka which has been dubbed as the best restaurant to satisfy your craving for Japanese food. I have heard about this famous eatery for quite some time and I am glad I could finally say that I have dined in one. Established in 2015, Fugo Ryori was founded by a group of Malaccan chefs who want to prepare nothing but the best of Japanese food.Fugo Ryori The Best Japanese Restaurant In Melaka There are 3 branches of Fugo Ryori Japanese restaurants in MelakaUpon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a golden plaque which read, "World Top Gourmet Awards 2019" for the Japanese Cuisine Category. That award is a testament that we were indeed dining in one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melaka. Guess our tummies were in safe hands, right? Being located in a prime area, the restaurant is a wee bit small for my liking. Still the ambiance was really soothing and the classic decorations of using woods had truly made our dining experience better.A recognition to show that it is one of the best in Japanese cuisineSo it will be a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversaryOur two little babies...well they are no longer babies 😂Knowing that this is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Melaka made it quite difficult for us to choose what to eat. After scrutinizing the menu like forever, we finally placed our orders. We had to book in advance to dine in and surely this award-winning restaurant was brimming with lots of patrons in no time. Waiting time for our food is relatively fast. The first to land on our table was our crispy appetizer the Shake Kawa. Guess the Crispy Salmon Skin with a hint of saltiness had really whetted our appetite for more.Crispy Salmon Skin for appetizerLet's start our Japanese gastronomical journey!In no time, one of our main courses was served-Tori Kimuchi Cheese Rice. Since we love rice and cheese, we ordered this crispy chicken, cheese, spicy kimchi rice served with sizzling plate. I must say that the chefs of Fugo Ryori only used the best ingredients. Besides I must admit that they were not stingy in giving us lots of cheese for this dish, so much so that I felt that we were eating pizza. We enjoyed our perfectly cooked pearl rice which was spicy and dovetailed with the thick cheese really well.Tori Kimuchi Cheese RiceFor the love of gooey cheeseOur next order had something to do with cheese as well. Introducing Kamo Cheese Kamameshi which was of course "enriched" with cheese as well. We could not resist the smoked duck slices that came with the gooey cheese with hot pot fried rice. Mix everything together and you will get a fusion of flavours busting and then melting in your mouth, giving you that ASMR sensation aka SYIOK! I love the evenly cut smoked duck slices which were just of the right texture and thickness.Kamo Cheese KamameshiEqually cheesy and sinfully good!Up next we had Curry Katsu Don which is a must-order for if you love curry. As usual you will have cutlets of chicken served together with Japanese Curry on your rice. I love the fragrance of the rice and curry. The chicken cutlets were tender and went really well with the curry. However, I wish that the curry could be a tad spicier. Than again, since it was rather mild our children could also savour the flavoursome Japanese curry.Curry Katsu DonSo far so good right?Of course we need more!We also ordered something rather un-Japanese at Fugo Ryori. We had Shake Pizza which I thought was ironically better than the usual pizzas we ordered from Domino and Pizza Hut. The crust was thin and crispy, making every bite enjoyable and light. However the highlight had go to be the smoked salmon. They were distinctively scrumptious despite "swimming" amongst tonnes of cheese. Not bad really!Shake Pizza aka Salmon PizzaWe can't help but feel that this is the best pizza ever!No dining experience in a Japanese Restaurant will be complete without sushi right? Hence we ordered the one that really caught our eyes in the menu-Kamo Salsa Maki. We were totally swooned by the reverse sushi roll complete with crispy shrimp tempura, mango and topped the must-have smoked duck & tomato salsa. OMG! This combination will definitely blow your mind and get your taste buds dancing especially the fresh mango! Dayum! 🤤 This truly reminds of my Omakase at Miyabi Sheraton. By the way I was utterly impressed with the little artwork that they did with the wasabi. Kamo Salsa MakiThis is simply a work of artOh! Don't forget the wasabiLast but not least for our main course would be Tori Ramen as requested by Jordan boy. Apparently he wanted to have this Grilled Chicken with Ramen very badly thanks to the anime that he has been watching-Naruto. Guess he must have thought that eating a huge bowl of ramen will make him a great ninja too. He did enjoy his Ramen with grilled chicken though. I am proud that he could walloped the whole bowl which was bigger than his head. LOL 😂Grilled Chicken With RamenWhen the bowl is bigger than your head 😅Our anniversary luncheon will not be proper without indulging in sweet beverages that would fatten us up right? Jordan boy and Jasmine girl had iced blended chocolate and honeydew juice respectively. As for my and I, we opted to be a bit more traditional we the usual steaming hot green tea. To sweeten our palate even more for that day was something chilling-Vanilla Monaka. Guess we were so gratified by our meal that even the simple ice cream tasted heavenly. Ha 😁Dessert-Vanilla MonakaOur beveragesYou guys make my life sweeter 😍We will definitely return to Fugo Ryori for more good Japanese food!All in all, the four of us 7 different dishes plus 4 beverages and 1 dessert *burp* to celebrate this important day of ours. I must admit that the food at this Japanese restaurant has really met our expectations and tick all the right boxes. The ingredients used were incredibly fresh, the Japanese food served was by far the best in Melaka and the service was really outstanding. Thank you for providing us with such an amazing gastronomical experience for our wedding anniversary. Certainly Fugo Ryori Japanese Restaurant is arguably one of the best in Melaka when it comes to Japanese food.Fugo Ryori Japanese Restaurant (Melaka Raya)Address: 2 & 4, Jalan Melaka Raya 13, Melaka Raya, 75000 Melaka.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FugoRyori/Contact: 06-2926222Opening Hours: Daily (12:00p.m.-3:00pm, 5:30-10:00p.m.)Fugo Ryori Japanese Restaurant Map

After our trip to Entopia Penang, We headed to one of the most recommended cafes in Penang to enjoy our food. Enter Pik Nik at Nagore Penang which is one of the best places on the island to have lunch and dinner. After reading so many raving reviews about this eatery, we decided that this is a must-go cafe in Penang that we should not miss. Hence after our close encounters with some bugs, a tarantula and a snake, we needed scrumptious comfort food to replenish our energy and that was why we opted to pay this lovely cafe a visit.Pik Nik at Nagore Road, Penang-A Must Visit For FoodiesSituated along Nagore Road in Penang which is a prime area, looking for a parking can be a bit of a challenge. Still, we foodies will not miss this haven for food. After going round and round a few times, we finally spotted a parking lot. Judging from its exterior, we knew that this cafe would be an exquisite place to savour our lunch. The moment we stepped in, we were already in awe of Pik Nik's rustic and laidback charm. The combination of light music, soothing lighting and relaxing ambiance made us feel so at ease and comfortable.So what should you order at Pik Nik Penang?Those who love to snap selfies and pictures will appreciate the interior design and decor of the cafe. In fact, I would say that Pik Nik at Nagore Road is one of the most Instagrammable cafes in Penang. Within the cafe, there will be at least 5 different backgrounds for you to snap photos that you can share on your social media account. It's like the cafe itself is an art gallery with different settings for different corners of the cafe. Girls will love the pastel pink spot where everything was...of pink. I personally love the black backdrop with the huge lightning!Pik Nik is definitely one of the most Instagrammable cafes in PenangGirls and ladies will love the pink pastelYou will love the cozy and artsy ambiance in Pik NikOf course you do not come here only "for the gram" right? I must admit that the presentations of the food in Pik Nik are equally work of art. Altogether we ordered 5 different dishes and 4 beverages. They were not only visually pleasing, but also very, very appetizing and delectable. It is very rare that you will get food that not only looks good on the outside but taste equally good on the inside. We really have to applaud the chefs for dishing these ambrosial luncheon for us.Our Kimchi Pork Bulgogi Fried RiceSpicy Mala Smoked Duck Aglio OlioThe first dish that we tasted at Pik Nik was the tantalizing Kimchi Pork Bulgogi Fried Rice, served with a sunny side up. Every grain of the rice was really flavorsome and tasty with a hint of spiciness to it. Next, we had Spicy Mala Smoked Duck Aglio Olio which is a must try in Pik Nik. OMG! It was really lip-smacking and the spaghetti was cooked to perfection and the smoked duck slices were simply...heavenly. Every bite of it was unbelievably juicy and breathtaking. I wish I could have a second plate of it. You really have to order this when you are at Pik Nik, trust me!Mac and Cheese conchiglieAburi Smoked Salmon Waffle PizzaJordan boy and Jasmine girl had pasta as well-Mac and Cheese conchiglie served with irresistible chorizo and mushroom. Creamy and al-dente, the kids love their Italian pasta which really suited their taste buds. One of the reasons why we wanted to dine in Pik Nik was to try its interesting waffles menu. We tried the Aburi Smoked Salmon Waffle Pizza with scrambled egg which really got our eyes peeled in excitement! The smoked Salmon was really the standout in this dainty dish of ours. We really loved how they have fused the different ingredients together to dish out this wonderful waffle pizza that really whetted our appetite for more.Waffle Bae-con is a must-try!We love all the beverages at Pik NikLast but not least, the most highly anticipated dish that yours truly me had been waiting for was the Waffle Bae-con served with scrambled egg and maple syrup. I must say that this Waffle Bae-con is the best food I have tried in Pik Nik Penang thanks to the strips of bacons of course. The waffles were crisp and fluffy at the same time while the scrambled egg added that much-needed additional texture to the former. Of course, the highlight was the perfectly cooked bacon strips that I could not have enough of. They were so lusciously crispy and tender, melting in your mouth as your sink your teeth into them. OMG!Let's dig in!Wifey and Jasmine were so happy with their feast. 😄Of course we needed a few good beverages to complement our distinctive food right? And since we were rather thirsty, we needed a few sips to quench our yearn for liquid. The kids ordered vanilla milk and banana yogurt smoothie while wifey opted for something chocolatey-Dark Chocolate milk-based beverage. As for yours truly me, no food is perfect without coffee right? So I had the rich latte to help me seal the great aftertaste of the food that we have just indulged in earlier on.Pik Nik Menu-What To Eat & DrinkAll in all, we had a really pleasant and gratifying dining experience in Pik Nik. Besides the marvelous ambiance, we were also swept off our feet by the outstanding food and beverages.

If you are looking for a hotel in Melaka that can serve you lip-smacking food, then you really need to book your stay at Bayview Hotel Melaka. Instead of going to a nearby eatery for our dinner, we decided to to dine inside the hotel itself. After reading countless glowing reviews about the scrumptious food being served in Southern Court Chinese Restaurant, my wife suggested that we give it a try. It turned out to be a wise choice for our tummies indeed.Dinner At Southern Court Chinese Restaurant of Bayview Hotel MelakaFor the uninitiated, the Southern Court Chinese Restaurant in Bayview Hotel Melaka serves authentic Szechuan and Cantonese cuisines. That's right! So if you are craving genuine Szechuan and Cantonese dishes in Melaka, you really need to head over to this famous restaurant. It had been a while since we last dined in a restaurant which dishes out oriental food. We were there quite early after our swimming sessions, making us extremely hungry. I am sure this lovely restaurant is included in the top list of online ordering for restaurants in Melaka.Southern Court Chinese Restaurant follows the required SOPNo meal will be complete without coffeeUpon arrival, we were immediately in awe of the restaurant's classic and yet luxurious decorations. The courteous waiter immediately ushered us to our preferred table and even handed each of us a plastic packet to store our mask. All in all we ordered 5 different dishes to savour. I must say that the intricate wood carvings and the whimsical Chinese instrumental music in the Southern Court Chinese Restaurant really set us in the mood for our dinner. Yours truly me loved the sight of the traditional wooden chairs which made me reminisce about the good old days in my late grandmother's house. Shark "fin" soup was our appetizerAs we were one of the earliest patrons in Southern Court Chinese Restaurant, the chef could attend to us first and in no time, our  mouth-watering dinner was served. It pays to be early. 😄 First to land on our dining table was a huge bowl of "Shark Fin Soup". Ok! Do not be alarmed. No sharks were finned and harmed to prepare this delicacy. Instead we were served the so-called artificial (or imitation) shark fin soup as appetizer. I could not tell how close it tasted compared to the real shark fin soup as I have not had any for decades. Still, the scrumptious broth together with the ingredients inside really whetted our appetite.Up next was mixed vegetables with tofu. Though the dish might look simple, I love how flavourful it was together with the thick, savory sauce which really went well with our white rice. Another plate of stir-fried mixed vegetables was next on our list. The combination of long beans, ladies fingers, onions, brinjal and sliced chili was really bursting with flavours in my mouth. I could vividly scent the unmistakable Wok Hei fragrance in the dish which brought back fond memories of home-cooked food by my old folks.The fried chickens were crispy on the outside and succulent on the insideJordan and Jasmine really got excited when they saw the next platter on the table-fried chickens. Obviously these deep-fried chickens were so irresistibly enticing for both of them. I guess no one could fend of the temptation of well-marinated chicken deep-fried to golden crisp perfection right? They were really delectable; Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The moment you sink your teeth into these succulent fried chickens, you could not help but want more! Yes~it will be that insatiable!Chili Crab with mantouLast but not least was the highlight of our dinner at Southern Court Chinese Restaurant. In fact I insisted that we try this cuisine which was highly recommended. Introducing the exquisite Chili Crab with Mantou. Honestly I had never sampled anything quite like this. The luscious chili-coated crab meat together with the distinctive mantou was really rich and scrumptious. OMG! This dish was really lip -smacking! It was so good that I almost ordered another one. I am glad that we did try this signature dish of Chef Sum.Let's enjoy our feast at Southern Court Chinese RestaurantAll in all, we had a feast at this renowned Southern Court Chinese Restaurant. So if you are staying in Bayview Hotel Melaka, I highly recommend that you pay their in-house Chinese restaurant a visit and try their authentic Szechuan and Cantonese dishes. And don't forget the Chili Crab with Mantou. LOL 😁 It is definitely one of the best rated Halal Chinese restaurants in Melaka. I am looking forward to my next visit for another round of dinner.Southern Court Chinese Restaurant at Bayview Hotel MelakaAddress: Jalan Bendahara, Kampung Bukit China, 75100 Melaka.Opening Hours: Lunch (11:30am-2:00pm); Dinner (7:00pm - 10:30pm)Website: bhm.bayviewhotels.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/BayviewHotelMelakaInstagram: www.instagram.com/bayviewhotel_MelakaEmail: bayviewmelaka@bayviewhotels.comTelephone: +6062839888


A few days ago, Chinese across the globe celebrated Mid-Autumn festival with their loved ones at home.  It is the second most important festival for the Chinese after Chinese New Year and that is why on this day family and friends will get together for celebration. Besides colourful and dazzling lanterns, another mainstay of Mid-Autumn festival is the must have mooncake. This traditional delicacy will be savoured while family members enjoy their moon-gazing moments. So have you had any mooncakes this year?Homemade Traditional Mooncakes By Best Vegie Restaurant (慈園素食館)As usual, we have bought several mooncakes for prayers and for self-indulgence as well. We had also received quite a number of mooncakes from friends and family. From the traditional red-bean paste filling to the more exotic durian-flavoured mooncake, I got to try a variety of mooncakes this year. However  this year there are a few that really stood out compared to the rest the fancy commercial mooncakes that we had had.-2 to be precise.These are arguably one of the best homemade mooncakes in MelakaIntroducing homemade mooncakes from Best Vegie Restaurant Melaka (慈園素食館) that were not only dainty, but also surprisingly delicious. The first one with the rich salted egg yolk which was truly creamy but the texture was still smooth and pleasant. It was not too strong or sticky like some commercial mooncakes. The second mooncake in the box was the pandan mooncake which tasted equally scrumptious and distinct. Again, I love the flavour and its texture which whet my appetite for more.They taste even better than those fancy commercial mooncakesSalted Egg Yolk Traditional Mooncake for only RM5Pandan Mooncake for only RM4.50Like I have aforementioned, these 2 homemade traditional mooncakes really took cake for arguably the best ones I have tried this year so far. We appreciate the thin and crispy crust together with the delightful fragrance which really whet our appetite for more. They really dovetailed with the Chinese tea that we had. We devoured all 6 in one go. Guess we had to wait till next Mid-Autumn festival to enjoy more of these traditional homemade mooncakes. The traditional mooncake with the salted egg only costs RM5 each while the pandan flavour mooncake costs only RM4.50 each. At the moment the shop is still selling these 2 scrumptious mooncakes. For those who are interested, you can head over to:Best Vegie Restaurant (慈園素食館)Address: No. 663A, Jalan Bukit Melaka 1/6, Taman Bukit Melaka, Melaka, 75450 Bukit Melaka.Contact: 019-3946160P.S.: Apparently the shop is also one of the best restaurants serving scrumptious vegetarian dishes for vegan and health conscious diners.


Street Food at Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls Penang

Finally we got to enjoy the street food at Chulia Street in Penang. When we visited the island previously, we always seemed to miss this food paradise. This time we ensured that we made this gastronomical trip of ours. The Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls have been one of the attractions for foodies both locally and tourists. Yes! Even Penangites themselves could be seen crowding the stalls to enjoy their very own local food. This goes to show how delicious these cuisines are.

Wan Tan Mee is one of the top food at Chulia Street

It's a shame that we couldn't try the wan tan mee. Just look at the queue

Char Kaoy Teow

Hokkien Noodles

Before the sun begins to set, Chulia Street will come alive with hawkers setting up their push-cart stalls at their very own respective spots. Very quickly, the tables and chair will be arranged and in no time the crowd will start to gather. Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls will start at 6 p.m. daily and call it a day by midnight. You are advised to be there early or you will have to wait for quite some time before there will be vacant table for you to be seated. Knowing how popular this place would be, we departed from our beachfront accommodation earlier.

Ouh Mr. Lor Bak~Lor Bak!

Look at the glorious Lor Bak at your disposal 🤤

What beverages do you want to drink?

Make sure to be here early.

Once we arrived, we were rewarded with a vacant table right behind the famous wan tan mee stall. True enough, the whole place was brimming with hungry food lovers both locally and abroad. Soon, a lot of people were lining up to wait for their turn to be seated. Immediately, we headed to the different stalls and placed orders for the food that we wanted to try. I believe in total there were at least 10 hawker stalls selling food that evening. I understand that there should be more stalls no thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic and movement control order restrictions.

Indulge in the succulent pork satay

The peanut sauce makes everything taste better

All in all, we ordered 5 different food to gratify our hunger pangs. Our afternoon visit to Fort Cornwallis had really burnt a lot of our calories. The first food to land on our table was the famous Hainanese Satay. Having eaten chicken satay quite often, we tried their pork satay. However we did not just feast on any ordinary pork satay, ours were skewers of grilled wild boar meat. The meat was really tender and the peanut sauce really elevated the authentic flavour of the grilled wild boar meat.

You will love the Wok Hei of the Char Kway Teow

No menu in Penang would be complete without the household Char Kway Teow right? Our plate of wok-fried char kway teow was reasonably good. Every strand of the noodle and the 2 juicy prawns were well coated with the sauce. It was scrumptious we liked its Wok Hei fragrance. However we thought that the Char Kway Teow that we had earlier at Kedai Kopi Ho Ping was tastier. Still, I would say that the whole package met our expectations.

The Hokkien Noodles was surprisingly good!

We also had a plate of Hokkien Noodles which I thought was really great even though at first glance...it did not look appetizing at all. The moment we had our first bite, immediately we knew it would be a luscious plate of Hokkien Noodles. The texture of the noodles were just nice-al dente and while the broth was thick and bursting with that unmistakable familiar flavours. My wife was really full of praise for this plate of ordinary-looking Hokkien Noodles.

Duck Meat Koay TeowTh'ng (soup)

Our next dish was something that we didn't know what to expect as it we had never tried it before. Enter Duck Meat Koay TeowTh'ng (soup). Usually I had my reservations for something soupy. It was supposed to be bland, or so I thought. It turned out to be rich and very tasty. Generous strips of meat and fish balls were also added, much to our delight. Guess I should not judge my food too soon huh!

Lor Bak is a must-try food in Penang

Last but not least, we ordered the famous Lor Bak. With various ingredients for you to choose, you literally have to think twice or thrice what should end up in your tummy. Lor Bak is undoubtedly one of must-have food when you are in Asia right? Choose to indulge in the fried sausages, tofu, prawn fritters, pandan chicken and fish cakes just to name a few. You could eat fried delicacies with the mixture of cinnamon and soy sauce or the chili sauce if you want something spicier. Obviously Jordan boy and Jasmine girl really loved deep-fried food a lot!

All in all, our visit to Chua Street was a rewarding one indeed. Then again it was a shame that we could not try the famous wan tan mee as the queue was literally too long. Yupe! Whether you want to dine in or take away, you still need to line up to enjoy the wan tan mee. Guess it is really, really that good huh! Too bad our stomachs could no longer take in any extra food, otherwise we would love to try the highly rated "Muah Chee" and "Apom" as well. For those who are wondering what and where to eat in Penang, you really need to be here. In fact, I would say that Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls serve some of the best street food in Penang for dinner time.

Chulia Street is indeed a food paradise!

Chulia Street Night Hawker Stalls Penang

Address: Chulia Street (Lebuh Chulia), 10450 Georgetown, Penang.

Opening hours: 6p.m. - 12 a.m. daily


Mekdi-There Is Not Place Like It

We have just celebrated our 63rd Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) and right in the heart of every Malaysian is McDonald's Malaysia or more fondly known as Mekdi. This year marks the 38th anniversary of 'McD' in our country. The very first Mekdi signage made its debut in Bukit Bintang last year (2019) and now McDonald's Malaysia is proudly showing off the 'Mekdi' signage at 16 selected restaurants across various states in our country. Yep! Mekdi is ours-it belongs to all Malaysians. 😙

This idea of localizing the brand name McDonald's was a way to thank Malaysians for their continuous support for the quick service restaurant chain since it first arrived in our country 38 years ago. So Malaysians have cast their votes to choose their preferred McDonald's restaurants across the country to bear the very Malaysian name for their favourite fast food restaurants. Let's find out which 16 McDonald's restaurants in Malaysia have been given the owner to display the iconic Mekdi signage. I am glad that one of the restaurants in Melaka made it into the list. Woohoo! 😁

The 16 selected 'Mekdi' restaurants nationwide are:

o   McDonald’s Bukit Bintang
o   McDonald’s Titiwangsa
o   McDonald’s KLCC
o   McDonald’s Putrajaya, Presint 2
o   McDonald’s Kuala Selangor
o   McDonald’s Greenlane, Penang
o   McDonald’s Jln Gopeng, Ipoh, Perak
o   McDonald’s Stulang Laut, Johor
o   McDonald’s Kulai, Johor
o   McDonald’s Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan
o   McDonald’s Taman Buaya, Malacca
o   McDonald’s Teluk Cempedak, Pahang
o   McDonald’s Kota Bahru, Kelantan
o   McDonald’s Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu
o   McDonald’s Kuching 1, Sarawak
o   McDonald’s Api-Api, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

There is no place like Mekdi for sure!

Of course we Malaysians love our food very much as well. Just in time to celebrate our Hari Merdeka and Malaysia Day, McDonald's Malaysia has also enhanced our beloved Nasi Lemak. So now you can indulge in your Nasi Lemak McD with side dishes such as Rendang Ayam, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Cutlet or Grilled Chicken Burger (GCB) Cutlet. OMG! Being a big fan of Nasi Lemak, yours truly have tried all 3 and OMG~they were so unbelievably delicious and the sambal was truly lip-smacking! I don't know about you but my family and I just can't get enough of it. My wife and children absolutely love the new side dishes options.

OMG! Nasi Lemak~which one should I indulge in first?

Have you tried the Geng Nasi Lemak at Mekdi?

Interestingly, McDonald's has also infused local flavours into its dessert menu. Yep! You will be in for a surprise to find out that you can now enjoy the brand new McFlurry Cendol! Unfortunately, I couldn't get to try it as it is out of stock in all McD outlets in Melaka! 😓 Hopefully they will restock this dessert as soon as possible. Apart from that, you can also enjoy Corn Pie and Cendol-flavoured ice cream that will definitely put a smile on your face. I had the Cendol-flavoured sundae and it was truly scrumptious.

 Nasi Lemak McD with Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Cutlet

 Nasi Lemak McD with GCB Cutlet

 Nasi Lemak McD with Rendang Ayam

More often than not, we Malaysians can identify with McDonald's in almost every single aspect of our life right? This is especially true when we talk about food. It is really heart-warming to know that McDonald's menu has been localised to cater to our Malaysian taste buds with many ingredients being sourced locally. That is why we have the Nasi Lemak menu and sambal that can really whet our appetites. I guess that explains why we truly love all the food from Mekdi right?

#GengNasiLemak

McDonald's is a company that champions causes that benefits we Malaysians. One such cause is the #KitaBoleh concept which is a nationwide call by McDonald’s Malaysia in March this year – to herald the silent bravery of the frontliners who continued on their work as Malaysians stayed home during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Obviously the company cares a lot about we Malaysians and our struggle.

With over 14,000 employees in 300 restaurants across the country, McDonald’s Malaysia also prioritises talent and skills development among its assets-the valuable workforce. With plans to open 450 stores by 2025, McDonald’s Malaysia has also targeted to add 10,000 more employees to its workforce. This will allow more Malaysians to have job opportunities and career advancement options. This goes to show that the company intends to help nurture local talents and aid them in building meaningful careers.

Do take a photo with the new Mekdi signage to celebrate Merdeka & Malaysia Day

As we are all aware, McDonald’s Malaysia is also a strong community player. The company is constantly encouraging all its restaurants nationwide to give back to local communities by organising various initiatives such as meal donations to local charities, Teacher’s Day celebrations as well as flood relief efforts. Through Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), McDonald’s Malaysia continues to support programmes that directly improve the health and well-being of children and their families. Another initiative close to McDonald’s heart is the ‘Back-to-School’ programme, which has benefitted 53,000 urban poor primary school children since 2017.

Don't forget to try the Nasi Lemak McD ok. 😋

Truth to be told, McDonald's Malaysia has done a lot for we Malaysians. Besides rolling out localised menu that we love, the company is also providing job opportunities as well as giving back to the society through its various meaningful charitable events. So let us do our part now and visit one of the nearest McDonald's Malaysia restaurants to help ourselves to all those glorious Nasi Lemak with its mouth-watering side dishes (Rendang Awam, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe Cutlet or Grilled Chicken Burger (GCB) Cutlet)! You really have to try them all. I know I had.


Lunch at Kedai Kopi Ho Ping George Town

When we arrived at Penang it was almost noon and we were hungry after hours of travelling. After we alighted from our car, we immediately started our food hunt. We parked our car directly opposite a coffee shop called Kedai Kopi Ho Ping (和平茶餐室) but that was not here we wanted to have our first meal in Penang. Prior to this vacation of ours, we had already searched for the possible spots to begin our gastronomical journey in George Town. However on that day, the restaurants that we wanted to visit were all closed.

In the end this was where we ended up having our lunch. It looked kinda old right?

We walked for around 20 minutes and headed to our next destinations based on our list. One after another, the restaurants that we intended to have our lunch were not open for business. In the end, we returned to Kedai Kopi Ho Ping which we were reluctant to be. Still, our growling stomachs said otherwise and we dragged our tired feet into the old, dilapidated coffee shop.

Enjoying our lunch at Kedai Kopi Ho Ping

We ordered Wan Tan Mee,  Fried Kueh Teow, Curry Noodles and Roast Pork Rice. Honestly I was not expecting anything at all as these are the usual food that we would have in hawker center right? Then the moment we had our first bite, we knew the food was going to be amazing. The Wan Tan Mee that Jordan boy had was springy and the fried wan tan was crispy ad meaty. My wife ordered the fried Kueh Teow which was equally good as it had that good old "Wok Hei" fragrance to it. The prawns were huge and succulent, making the whole plate a delightful treat against our hunger pangs.

Wifey with her Char Kue Teow

The roast pork and char siew rice belonged to me. The roast pork was tender and crispy while the char siew which was sweetened with honey was really toothsome. Together with the flavourful gravy, everything went really well with every grain of the fluffy rice. As for my daughter, she ordered a bowl of curry noodles for herself. When it landed on our table, I was surprised as it was white curry instead of the usual orange red version. The thick and creamy curry really dovetailed well with the sambal and tofu puff. The unmistakable aroma of curry noodles really whet our appetite. Let;s dig in!

Jasmine girl with her white curry for lunch

It's time to dig in!

We had a pleasant lunch at Kedai Kopi Ho Ping for sure. Though at first we were not interested to have our meal there, it was definitely a good "plot twist" for us. As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover and Kedai Kopi Ho Ping certainly lives up to this adage. If you are in Penang and want to try something local and familiar, do head over to enjoy your meals here. It is highly recommended and is definitely one of the best places in Penang to have your breakfast or brunch. After enjoying our lunch, we went to check in at our 5-Star beachfront accommodation at Tanjung Point Residences.

Breakfast Buffet at Sheraton PJ That You Cannot Stop Eating

After having a good night's sleep at Sheraton PJ Hotel thanks to its luxurious Signature Sleep Experience, we headed the hotel's restaurant to fill our growling tummies. We were really looking forward to enjoying our breakfast buffet at Feast at Sheraton PJ. Expectations were really high after our scrumptious feast at Yue Restaurant and Miyabi Restaurant respectively. So did our breakfast buffet at Feast @ Sheraton PJ meet our high expectations? Let's find out.

Are you ready for your breakfast buffet at Sheraton PJ?

For the uninitiated, Feast is Sheraton PJ's modern signature restaurant which showcases international flavours at an extensive buffets with a range of visually stunning displays in beautiful colours and textures. Hence at the Feast @ Sheraton PJ you can enjoy breakfast buffet, lunch buffet and dinner buffet or in other words everything! We started our morning with their mouth-watering spread of breakfast buffet of course. When we arrived at the Feast, there were already a lot of other guests busy filling their plates with glorious food. Thankfully the restaurant was really, really big; It was spacious and there were still many vacant seats. Once we have settled down, off we went to grab our empty plates. 😁

Breakfast Buffet at Sheraton PJ is one of the best in KL and PJ

What bread would you like?

Donuts and croissants

Glutten-free cakes~how thoughtful

 Cereals for the kids or maybe you 😄

Bread pudding which was surprisingly good

Since we were having breakfast, you could expect an assortment of breads that you would not even know where to start digging. There were also around 10 jars of spread for you to smack on your breads ranging from jam to honey. I think Feast @ Sheraton PJ was really courteous and thoughtful as they even prepared gluten-free options for those who need it. There were also lots of colourful donuts and different choices of croissants for you to savour. Kids will love the various cereals in jars along with a plethora of dried fruits and nuts. Interestingly the restaurant also provided hot oatmeal and bread pudding which was made from stale bread, milk and egg.

Chinese Fried Rice,  Mee Mamak and Nasi Lemak

How about a bowl of Noodles?

How do you like your eggs?

For those who prefer heavier meals for their breakfast there were other oriental stalls with familiar local cuisines that they would make them happy such as Chinese Fried Rice, Mee Mamak and of course Nasi Lemak. Top them up with onion sambal, tomato chicken, prawn curry and usual condiments for Nasi Lemak. Want to try something else? You can also choose from Steamed Japanese Rice, Miso Soup and Salt-baked Saba Macarel just to name a few. Those who wish to grab a few spoons of noodles can head over to the noodles station. The egg station is a heaven for egg lovers there were just so many different versions of eggs for you to try. Do you want omelette, scrambled egg or poached egg?

Congee with its various condiments

We Asians love dim sum

Enjoy 5 different cheese for your breakfast at Sheraton PJ

Want something lighter for your breakfast? How about Chicken congee or maybe just plain congee. Of course you could spice your porridge up with the available condiments. There were also dim sum and local kuih for those who prefer traditional fix for their breakfast. If you want something crunchy and cheesy at the same time, grab a few cookies and spread them with the 5 different cheeses available. There were Cheddar Cheese, Edam Cheese, Blue Cheese, Emmental Cheese and Camembert Cheese for you to choose from. It was quite an exotic display of cheese if you ask me. After all, it is not like every day you will get to taste 5 different cheese at one go right?

For those who love salads

Health conscious diners could choose to fill up their hungry stomachs with salads and spice things up with the other special condiments that were just beside their leafy greens. Unfortunately I am not really into vegetables. Yours truly me prefer meatier breakfast such as chicken ham, smoked duck slices, smoked salmon and lots of sausages of course. I must say that the smoked duck slices were to die for-every bite was so sinfully delicious, succulent and flavourful. I couldn't get enough of the smoke duck slices which melted in my mouth. Awww....😘

Chicken hams, smoked duck slices and smoke salmons *drooling*

Look at how happy Jasmine girl was

How can get enough of sausages?

How about desserts for breakfast buffet at Sheraton PJ? You will be delighted to know that you can indulge in yoghurt and premium quality ice cream. On top of that, there were also fresh fruits and jelly to sweeten your already awesome breakfast at Sheraton PJ. As for beverages, you can get unlimited cups of Teh Tarik and Nescafe Tarik. Of course you could also craft your own cappuccino of latte with the coffee machine available.

Let's have desserts and coffee now!

Chilled delights-yoghurt and ice cream

 Fruits

Teh Tarik or Nescafe Tarik?

If you are looking for a hotel stay in PJ or KL with fantastic breakfast buffet spread, then you definitely need to consider Sheraton PJ Hotel. At Feast, my family and I really had an unforgettable breakfast that we could not get enough of. It is a shame that we only have one stomach to enjoy the glorious food. I am looking forward to trying Sheraton PJ buffet lunch and buffet dinner as well. Judging by our dining experience at Yue (Cantonese Luncheon), Miyabi (Omakase Dining) and now breakfast buffet at Feast, I am sure their luncheon and dinner will be equally amazing.

Breakfast Buffet at Sheraton PJ offers glorious spread for your family

When my family is happy, it is priceless.

Chicken ham and sausages!

Donuts, kuih and roti canai

 My wife gave her nod of approval for this breakfast buffet at Sheraton PJ
