Chai Leng Park 煮炒

2008-07-20T15:25:00.000+08:00

I’ve been lazy to blog, perhaps I’ve got this ‘lazy bug’ in me.

Anyway, I’ve been even lazy scout around for food and review too. I wonder what’s wrong with me. Anyway, this is one of those post that lying around in my draft box for ages, guess it’s time to publish now.

Well, Chai Leng Park is a place where you can see lots of people, people are busy buying food from the market in the morning, or at night busy looking for food to fill up their stomach.

Whenever am home, if mom decided not to cook. We’ll just hop into any of the coffee shop that have one of those ‘Chu Char’ (煮炒). Nothing fantastic, but honestly it’s kind of convenient for those people that staying surrounding this area.
That night, we have one curry fish head. Nothing to shout about, it wasn’t spicy nor aromatic scented.
A plate of stir fry vegetables. Simple, yet full of ‘wok hei’ (鑊氣).
A plate of paddy frogs stirs fry with spring onion and gingers (薑蔥田雞). This is honestly thumbed up for this dish. It’s tasty, it’s good!!
And, a Guinness Stout Pork Ribs (黑啤排骨). Not many can make this dish as tasty as this. I’ve been trying many places that offer Guinness Stout ribs or chicken. But none of those places that could cook such a good one like this.
In fact, apart from the curry fish head, majority of the food that we’ve ordered for the night, isn’t that bad at all. As for the damage, honestly can’t recall… cuz, this was way some time ago.

Tiger Koay Teow Th'ng 亞虎粿條湯

2008-07-15T20:49:00.001+08:00

You know it’s kind of frustrating when you need to eat something yet you do not know what to have, and if you have the money of course, you will lavishly spend on it, otherwise, you will be thinking what to eat, what to eat.

Anyway, we were running out of idea what to have for breakfast one of the weekends, and also wonder where to go for breakfast, or where to have breakfast which is nearer to the destination where you need to run some errands. And you know why were we so particular on that, reason is very simple,… that’s due to fuel hike which we both don’t want to travel unnecessary.

If this happened to those days, we’ll have breakfast in one end and run errands on the other end of the island. Well, those lavish and luxury days no more exist, anymore.

Well, let’s not bog down by these negativities that will spoil our appetite.

Those living in Georgetown (which recently has inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage list) will know this stall used to be in Kimberly Street. And I heard they also have another stall which operates at night in Farlim one of the resident area too.

Anyway, this stall is located at the end of Carnavon Street, and it’s actually located in one of the shop which is triangle in shape. This shop used to be wholesale cutleries and plates, but now has turned into a coffee shop. To be more specific, this stall is located opposite the police station and diagonal opposite a wet market.

Ok, now back to the main attraction – Koay Teow Th’ng.

Look at the bowl of Koay Teow Th’ng, didn’t it get you drooling over and bite it and get it swallow?? Hehehehe… that’s very bad of me, huh?

Anyway, we waited almost an hour just to have a bowl of this. Cuz, I can tell you their customers base is really huge and I could see many level of people patronize this place for breakfast, even a white collar, blue collar, uncles, aunties and etc.

It’s hard to find any stalls right now that give intestines. And when you’re there, you wouldn’t care about cholesterol. Most important is to fill up the stomach!!

Hot Wok, Tanjong Tokong

2008-07-11T08:33:00.000+08:00

The other day, I passed by Tanjong Tokong and didn’t know Hot Wok have moved; only know they will be opened another one in Burmah Road. Thought that could be the branch, didn’t know they moved out from Tanjong Tokong.

In fact, the one in Tanjong Tokong is more spacious, and that can park many cars in that compound. After I noticed they have moved, I realized I have a post on them has yet to publish.

This post is kind of long enough, this was taken sometime in December last year where we do not know what to take for dinner, and we drove all the way to Tanjong Tokong for Nyonya food.

In fact, we ordered quite a lot of dishes the other day and I can’t recall how much we pay for it too.

We ordered a tom yam soup, of which I don’t understand why we order tom yam soup in a Nyonya restaurant. Anyway, it wasn’t that good; it was just ok to me. But yet, can’t tell what went wrong too.
They also recommended this dish to us; they will deep fried the fish and pour their special sauce on to the fish. First taste was ok to me and this is something different. But after a few bites, I think I prefer those authentic Curry Tumis.

When you’re into Nyonya restaurant, you wouldn’t want to miss their ‘Tau Yiu Bak’ (Dark Soya Sauce Meat). I believe this is their authentic dish.

We also have a Belanchan Fried Chicken in case their serving is small.

With all the meats, we have 2 plates of vegetables.

Stir fry bean sprouts with salted fish.

And, a mixed vegetables.

The dinner isn’t that appetizing to me, guess I prefer others Nyonya restaurant. I remember once I went to Mama Nyonya in Abu Sitee Lane, their food was excellent, unfortunately at that time I was yet a blogger. Well, it gives me a reason to visit them again, huh?

Oh yes, this place is famous of the antique items, like sewing machine, tiffin carrier, pictures, etc. It gives their customer a pleasant place to dine in. Yet, I have not explored how the new one looks like. I hope I’ll visit them soon.

Chicago Rib House (revisit)

2008-07-08T08:24:00.000+08:00

Have anyone had come across any roasted port meat pizza??? I personally have not, and not even know there’s such pizza till I re-visit Chicago Rib House on June 21.

When my family scan thru what they want to order for themselves, my brother-in-law and I were filtering thru the menu and wonder what to order. The last time we came was on Mother’s Day, and have had some pork ribs that were recommended by their outlet manager.

So, this round we are going to have something different, other than those normal stuff that we had order.
I have myself a Hawaiian Chicken Pizza, though this is kind of normal among the others, but taste wise I can say it’s some how better than Pizza Hut. But, I realized they put lots of onions on it.
Hubby got himself a BBQ Pork Chop. I was kind of sceptical when he ordered that. But, to my surprise, it was so delicious. The meat was tender too.
And, sis ordered a deep fried mushroom as a starter for everyone to munch. To our surprise, the mushroom is not just filled with batter, but, it’s tasty too. It comes with a bowl of English mustard, which is completely nice to accommodate with these mushrooms.
Another sis of mine, have herself a BBQ Chicken. Well, that to me it’s kind of normal, but yet, the meat are tender too. I wonder did they put anything like soda bicarbonate.
Ok, here comes the Roasted Pork Meat Pizza!!!!

Look at the dough; it’s thin, and crispy. Needless to say more about it but grab one and eat it!! Cuz, I would tell you it’s yummy, delicious, tasty!!!

Home Cook Food

2008-07-05T17:56:00.004+08:00

I’ve been really busy at work, even Saturday also got to work too. However, am going to post something simple and short for this weekend.

One of mom’s best foods is her way of cooking baby octopus. This dish could actually get an order from her sisters from other states.

Though I am not really a fan of baby octopus, but honestly, with her style of cooking, this is really the best.

Many restaurants will have the baby octopus boiled or steamed. But mom’s version of cooking baby octopus is stir fried with chillies paste and curry leaves.

First she’ll stir fry the chillies paste till fragrant, and also the curry leaves. Then only add the baby octopus to the wok.
She said needless to stir fry for a long time, but till it’s cooked. This is best to eat with steam rice.

Day 2 Breakfast at The Taste, Westin Langkawi

2008-07-01T09:23:00.000+08:00

This is our day 2 breakfast in Westin Langkawi, and it’s also the last breakfast that we are going to have it here.

Don’t know am I missing home or I am missing Pangkor Laut Resort, the feeling that am having down here, is so much different from what I had in Pangkor Laut Resort. I can still remember that vividly.
Oh yes, have anyone come across buffet breakfast serves sparking wine? Well, I personally have not come across, in fact, this is the first hotel that I ever discovered. Surprise to see that, huh?

Again, we didn’t have much for day 2. We took something that could fill up our stomach then after we proceed to check out.
Since day 1 I didn’t have porridge for breakfast, I had one bowl for that day morning. Of course, all these can’t compared with our home cook porridge, however, it isn’t that bad with our own adds on like salted egg, spring onions, sesame oil and so on.
After that, I had a sunny upside egg, with chicken sausages, baked beans and potato. The potato isn’t taste nice at all… and the colour is some kind of weird to me. Or was I adventurous enough to get one to try on, huh? [LOL]
Croissant is always hubby’s favourite. He’ll never give it a miss.

In fact the buffet in Westin is the same, there’s no change on those things that they served. Thus, hubby didn’t really into this buffet in fact.
He got himself a Roti Canai, and he was commenting that he could make better than this. I was really laughing out loud on that.
And a plate of dim sum that ends our breakfast in The Taste, Westin Langkawi.

Buffet Dinner at The Taste, Westin Langkawi

2008-06-29T11:27:00.000+08:00

After a long walk at the beach front, that will definitely boost up the appetite for food. In fact, when we sign in for the Dream Holiday Package in Westin, it comes with 2 complimentary breakfast as well as 1 buffet dinner for 2.

So, here it is the complimentary buffet dinner that we are going for.

Do you realize, I kept taking the desserts pictures?? The desserts really really caught my attention. It’s colourful, and it looks delicious. If you have a sweet tooth, you wouldn’t want to miss anything out of it. Right?
Oh my God!!! Look at the chocolate fondue! Too bad, they don’t have many fruits to dip into it, what they offered is marshmallow and butter cakes. If you have dined in Spies Garden in Rasa Sayang, you would definitely compare this and that.
Here are the seafood section, where they have flower crabs, prawns, mussels. All these are got to accommodate with these sauces, pickles, lemons and so on.

The ice cream area where mostly children will eye on it. Look at the ice cream cone, isn’t it creative?
I realize one thing, I don’t see papaya in their fruits choices. What they offered is basically honeydew, dragon fruit, pineapple, watermelon and pamelo.

For the hot dishes counter, you will see a corner on noodles. That night was a beef noodle, however the soup base is chicken stock according to the hotel. Thus, I have one for myself. The taste was unexpected awful. I can’t even tell is this Penang Lor Mee or what?
Hot dishes area are offering mixed vegetables, garlic prawns, coffee chicken, black beans steam fishes, etc. I didn’t quite enjoy it, that can tell from the plate that am taking.

However, hubby is enjoying every food that he took from the buffet line.

Oh yes, how could I miss this out. They also have starter before the main course. And these starters are mini in size, cute and tempting. I particularly like the shred duck with green chilli, that taste good.
Another mini starter is cut tomato, capsicums, and other shredded meat. That taste like salsa.

Chicken wrap (chicken lobak) with red chilli is something unique too.

And this bean curd skin wrapped with fish meat, also another unique starter.

Apart from these mini starters, they also offered a variety of salads, I believe this is a must for many buffet dinner. As well as soup section. That night they have 2 types of soup, one of them is the shark fin soup. Taste wise, that can be compared with big restaurant like Overseas in Imbi Road.

Overall, I don’t find this buffet dinner is value for money, as it costs RM98++ per person. But with this price, you could have variety of food in Sharkies Corner of E&O Hotel & Spies Garden of Rasa Sayang Resort. Well, am not bias, am sure many agree with me.

Teo Seafood Restaurant 潮海鮮飯店, Langkawi

2008-06-23T13:41:00.000+08:00

After visited Four Season Resort in Tanjung Rhu area, we gotta rush back to Westin and return the car rental which we supposed to return and also attend the SPA appointment that we have made a day before.

So, before returning, we had a quick lunch in Kuah Town again.

This time, we had something really really simple. I had a Langkawi Char Koay Teow, which is similar to Penang one; except the fact that they are a bit oily. As for ‘wok hei’, Langkawi one is very much better. After eating for nearly 15 to 20 minutes, the plate of CKT is still burning hot.

Hubby ordered a Pork Ribs King Rice (排骨王飯). It was good and simple.

We actually wanted to order some other dishes, they even have lobster, geoduck, crabs, mantis prawns, prawns and many others.

Unfortunately, we are time up for returning the car and SPA appointment.

Breakfast at The Taste, Westin Langkawi

2008-06-20T16:24:00.001+08:00

We both have had lots of luxury hotels & resorts buffet breakfast, and one that could really have us enjoying it, I would say is Mandarin Oriental Hotel in KLCC. Well, too bad at that point in time, I was over enjoying the food and totally forgot about taking pictures of it.

Well, this time, I’ve learned the mistake and here are the pictures that I’ve taken from my recent trip in Langkawi. Buffet breakfast is charged RM50++ per person in The Taste Restaurant.
A very nice environment, where you could enjoy your breakfast with over looking the sea and the 2 swimming pool, that’s one infinity pool and one baby pool.
Buffet line that will consist of all types of corn flakes and milk.

A line of fresh fruits.

A line of fresh yogurts.

A line of fresh fruit juices, waffle, pancakes, and also some smoothies, cheese corner.

A line of freshly bake breads, and some butter & jams.

A line of hot dishes like nasi lemak, porridge, egg corner, and so on.

I have never come a cross a corner where they serves cold meat for breakfast. Well, down here they do, and together with Japanese rice and noodles.

I always enjoy a bowl of corn flakes with lots of milk for a start. And, follow by others, egg omelette, pancake with assorted berries.

But this time, I have something really light for the day, cuz, planned to go for a Spa session. [wink]

Hubby will never miss some breads.

An egg, a chicken sausage and his favourite baked beans will be his second round.

And, of course his cup of coffee and chocolate milk to accommodate all these wonderful food.

A quiet environment for a healthy breakfast like this, it’s definitely a must for any holiday. Right?

Wonderland Food Store, Langkawi

2008-06-18T18:02:00.001+08:00

After a long day out, we had a simple dinner out of the resort.

As I mentioned before, hubby is pretty well know about the routes and roads in Langkawi. Thus, finding food in Langkawi should not be any problem for him. We both supposed to have seafood dinner in Pantai Cenang, unfortunately I was on diet due to certain allergies that couple of days, ended up we had our dinner in Kuah town.

Though Kuah town is a small town, but I bet when you see those seafood restaurants surrounding the town, you will be cracking your head which one to go. And this is what we found, Wonderland Food Store. When we were there, honestly, it’s almost packed of people… and I could see Bumi customers there too. I wonder is this place halal, well, I supposed they are, huh?!
Told hubby I have no appetite for rice, why don’t we have something like fried noodles, thus we order this fried noodle & vermicelli.
A plate of vegetables, they called it Kai Lan (清炒芥蘭/Chinese Kale). But it doesn’t look like one.
And a plate of meat, they recommended their Black Pepper Chicken (黑胡椒雞) is one of the best. They also de-bone the chicken for us as well without us requesting it.
Overall, I like their noodles but not their recommended Black Pepper Chicken though they highly recommended. The food serving time is absolutely express and also lots of 'wok hei'. A good place to recommend to friends whom visiting Langkawi; but then, one thing that got to take note, they only operate for dinner.

Guess how much for the dinner that night? It’s only RM25-00. Cheap?

Oh ya, if you’re ever down there, do order their crabs and prawns as well as clams. Cuz, I see lots of customers ordered that, unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to have it.

The Loaf, Langkawi

2008-06-15T17:34:00.000+08:00

Japanese baking has evolved over many centuries and now these delicious premium breads and pastries are available in Malaysia. Developed by award-winning Japanese Master Baker, Chef Yukichi Matsubara all items produced in the Loaf are made daily from the finest imported ingredients.

While many are available as take-away items others can be consumed in the restaurant. The Loaf also offers a full á la carte lunch and dinner menu for those who appreciate international cuisine served in a relaxed ambience.

Start the day with the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee and tasty breads and pastries hot from The Loaf’s ovens. Afternoon teas are also specialty of The Loaf.

The Loaf is situated along Perdana Quay facing the colourful Telaga Harbour Marina. The picturesque setting with Mount Machincang as a backdrop is one of the island’s most popular tourist destinations. Luxury yachts line the waterfront and several restaurants, cafes and bars combine with The Loaf to provide a lively place to enjoy a delicious meal or snack.

Located just 15 minutes drive from the airport. The Loaf is also a popular stop for visitors travelling to the Langkawi Cable Car, Telaga Tujuh Waterfall and the resorts around Buray Bay. ~ The Loaf, Langkawi

With the above illustrated content, am sure you will have the urge of trying how good The Loaf is.

First day arriving to Langkawi, after checked in to our hotel The Westine Langkawi Resort & Spa, we both actually hired a rental car and drove around in the island. Driving around in Langkawi will not be a problem for hubby as he’s been visiting Langkawi many many times. This is my 3rd visit after 8 years, I could see lots of developments in Langkawi. And many things have changed in Langkawi… lots of seafood restaurants, lots of luxury resorts, and lots of yacht harbours too.
I’ve heard a lot about The Loaf, and never had a chance to try it. Thus, The Loaf is one of our destinations to visit. Driving all the way from Kuah Town (where the hotel located) to Pantai Kok, honestly is a quite a long way. But, with the beautiful scenery along the way and less traffics, the drive was pretty enjoying. I could see padi fields, buffaloes, cows, goats,… the typical old time Malay kampong life style. It was so relaxing.
When we reached Pantai Kok, lots of luxury yachts sitting along the harbours, that scene was so perfect with a cup of coffee and a slice of bread from the oven. The ambience is so good and I really have no words to describe it.
Though we reached the place is rather late, but it didn’t stop us from getting our late lunch. Both of us ordered a cup of hot chocolate and a cup of café latte respectively, and some breads first while waiting for our ‘main dish’.
Hubby loves croissant a lot, unfortunately they had sold out for the day. But, they recommended their The Loaf’s Club Sandwich to hubby. The sandwich comes with slices of bread that filled with eggs, chicken and beef bacon, which accompanied by salads and tomato slices. Since we both can’t take beef, they made him more chicken meat with their special salad sauce.
As for me, I have myself a Smoked Salmon Bagel, a few slices of smoked salmon dressed with mustard mayonnaise on salad and a sprinkle of capers over a bagel. It was marvelous and delicious!
What can I say more with these mouthwatering breads!!?? Mama Mia!!!

Vacation

2008-06-11T10:24:00.002+08:00

Dear readers,
I'll be away for vacation for these couple of days, thus, I will not be able to post any posts for the mean time.

But, I would wish you will visit this small little corner of mine after my vacation.

So, please stay tune for more updates after this break. :D

New Day Porridge 新園清香粥

2008-06-09T14:02:00.000+08:00

New Day Porridge 新園清香粥 is a place where you can have Teow Chew porridge, and economy rice or even ‘chu char’ (煮炒). The shop is located in Lorong Selamat, it’s one of the off road of Macalister Road.

Along this street – Lorong Selamat, you can find lots of good food here. The famous and expensive Char Koay Teow is also selling down here. Well, this time, am not going to share anything about Char Koay Teow but Teow Chew Porridge.

Teow Chew porridge unlike Cantonese porridge where it takes longer hour to cook, and further more, Teow Chew porridge is like those cooked rice that boiled in a water for a short while. The texture is more of like cooked rice soak in a soup, Cantonese porridge is more liquidity.

Anyway, Teow Chew porridge must have it together with some light dishes like Salted Egg, Fried Fish and so on.
What we have down here is their famous, Dark Soya Sauce Pork Meat. I don’t know why their Dark Soya Sauce Pork Meat (aka Hokkien called it “Tou Yiu Bak” 豆油肉/豉油肉) is so sticky, perhaps they added honey or malt (麥芽). I actually quite like this.
Another dish that accomplish to this porridge is, Dried Radish Fried Egg (Hokkien called it “Chai Por” Egg 蘿蔔乾). Of course, never miss Salted Egg (鹹鴨蛋).
Hubby likes Fermented Beans Steam Fish (豆豉蒸魚); down here, they deep fried the fish first then after steam with these fermented beans.
Another hubby’s favourite is Dark Soya Sauce Stir Fried with Roasted Pork with Chili Padi.

With these dishes, both of us could have 2 bowls of this porridge. Hmmm… yummy yummy!!

Junction Restaurant 檳城角頭餐廳

2008-06-07T22:52:00.001+08:00

Once we were driving around and looking for food, we drove into Chow Thye Road where lots of old houses with nice decorations. We spotted this place call 檳城角頭餐廳.
At that point in time, I was asking hubby shall we check it out, after all, we both have not had anything. So, we were ambitious enough to walk in just like that.
The surrounding was pleasant to me, and it’s full of greens and the owner had placed some bamboo chairs and wooden tables as a dining table.

In fact, this place was being interviewed by Kwang Meng Press, I supposed this is consider a well recommended place.

After viewing through their menu, we both decided to order something simple and yet could fill up our tummy.

First we have their ‘Signature Tau Foo’ (招牌豆腐) which is home made.

Sweet & Sour Pork (咕嚕肉). Honestly, I don’t quite like it, due to their taste was kinda weird to me.
And, a plate of Salted Fish Fried Bean Sprout. To my surprise they do not just fry only beans sprout but also mixed with other vegetables like carrot.

Oh ya, we both order a Kiwi drink and a Honey Lemon. Honestly, I guess I made a better Honey Lemon. It wasn’t really a honey that mixed with Lemon juices. I believe they use one of those pre-pack bottle type of honey lemon.

Overall, I don’t quite like the taste, but I like the surrounding. On top of that, the damage isn’t that great too, if am not mistaken it’s about RM40 plus.

Uncle Lim's Cafe, The Curve

2008-06-05T01:09:00.000+08:00

This is the first time I brought my family here for breakfast some time last year end. Apart from bread toast, they have nasi lemak and KL curry laksa.

I supposed this is a typical kopitiam style of business.

What my family had was nasi lemak. Mom said it was pretty lemak and the curry was pretty good as well.

As for the KL style curry laksa, dad said it was very big bowl and he doesn’t advise for small eater to order a bowl. Taste wise, dad said it was just ok. Knowing him, I guess he prefers Penang curry, and not something like this.

While others were enjoying those nasi lemak and curry laksa, I was having my favourite popiah. Though this is not as good as I like most in Ipoh Old Town, however, this is consider one of the good one already.

Hmmm,... after 2 rolls of popiah and a cup of black coffee. What a great day ahead!!

Bee See Heang, Kampong Benggali

2008-06-03T09:40:00.000+08:00

Jalan Kampong Benggali is actually a short straight road from Jalan Heng Choon Thean across to Jalan Telaga Air. This place you can find good Hor Fun, Hokkien Mee, and other food.

This place is famous for their curry prawns, their deep fried fish with dark soya sauce, and many other more. If you come during lunch, the prawns that they served, I can tell you are huge in sizes.

What we had the other night for dinner was only medium size, as for the freshness, no doubt about it!!

Pan fried egg, a simple dish yet it’s difficult to make. Cuz, the surrounding is crispy and it’s delicious.

Stir fried Kai Lan vegetables with assorted meat.

Last,… Deep fried fish with dark soya sauce. This is a must to order whenever you’re here.

All in everything that we had was so satisfying. And the food here as what Cantonese said, ‘wok hei’!!

Garden Ferringhi

2008-05-31T01:04:00.000+08:00

Heard from What2See on Feringghi Garden not long ago as well as my other colleagues on the ambience and surrounding. Thus, with our special occasion the other day, we decided to give it a try.

We drove all the way from one side of the island to the others just to find out how good is this place. Despite the traffic jams and the long journey, we both take it as enjoying the sceneries’ along the way. However, when we reached Feringghi area, I was very upset and sad to see it became so developed. I see lots of developments up there on the hill, eg. Moonlight Bay, Shamrock, etc…

Anyway, let’s talk about that later in my other blog.

When we reached Feringghi Garden, I was a bit sceptical about it, cuz, it doesn’t look that nice to me. While we both were debating should we give it a try or should we go back to our favourite spot Feringghi Grill in Rasa Sayang; one of their staff came to us and direct us to their private car park.

Hubby & I were telling ourselves, let’s give it a shot, if this doesn’t up to our expectation, we’ll not come back that’s all. After all, we have nothing to lose. Thus, we drove in to their private car park, when I saw the back yard decoration; I know this is the place for our anniversary.

I was excited taking pictures every where of this place, but hubby was busy scrutinizing their menu.

I told him, What2See was the one that recommended this place and also recommended the garlic bread too. Without second thought, hubby ordered the mixture of their home made garlic bread and tomato bread.

It turns out to be some differences compared with lots of restaurant in the island. I believe they were slightly toasted the bread, and you would need to apply those garlic sauce and tomato sauce on the bread yourself.

I have mushroom soup for myself, where else, hubby has the mixed salad for starter.

We both quite like the mushroom soup and the mixed salad that they prepared for us. Though it’s not anything different, but it tastes good.

Here comes the main course.

I made a mistake by getting myself a baked garoupa and other seafood. It turns out to be a bit bland, and it turns out to be not to my liking. In fact, I did not finish the entire plate.

Hubby got himself a Char Grilled Lemon Grass Chicken. His plate of chicken is definitely looked much better than mine, isn’t it?

We didn’t order any dessert then after, cuz, it’s kind of full to me.

After meal, their staff was kind enough to take us for a walk and also explained to us when was this established and things like that. He was telling us that this place has been established for 16 years and some phases were only established few months ago. For example, the place where we were just now was only 6 months old. Another corner of the restaurant is about 3 years old, things like that.

This place is definitely for couple that are into courtship, cuz, the ambience is absolutely amazing and cozy. And it’s a good place for proposal too. [wink]

Look at the decorations... it's so Balinese style, right? It gives their customers a pleasant dining experience.

68 Kelawai

Dear all.... especially for Penangite.....

Does anyone know who took over 68 Kelawai?? It's been demolished, and it's been closing down for almost 2 months?!

Everytime I passed by, I'm sad to see this place is knocked down. There's no notification or giant board that placed outside the famous eatery outlet.

This place is one of the best fine dining restaurant in the island...

If anyone knows what's happening, pls drop me a line, ya??!!
