New World Park (新世界) part-II @ Penang

Having lunch at this place again, after met friend to exchange vouchers.

Back to same place (where I always be), but ordered stall that I never spot.

After final decision, decide to order something different for my blog.

Taiwan cuisine

宝岛之味

This stall is stand with 2 workers, 1 take order and served, another 1 is cook.

While standing there to see the menu board, decide what to eat for lunch today, the worker politely and nicely waiting for my eye contact.

What I had ordered is Taiwanese food.


台湾盐酥鸡

Taiwan salted chicken

RM4.80

The taste is different compare to fried chicken.

It’s fried, not so crunchy, but the taste is special and I feel like am in Taiwan now.

The taste is same like what I had eaten in Taiwan.

The staff told me that the meat is chicken breast meat(雞胸肉), compare to chicken chop is chicken drumstick meat.

The meat is soft, not so salty and just nice.


台灣擔仔面

Taiwanese noodle (soup)

RM3.50

Special mee I ever had.

The Mee is soft and smooth like Kuey Teow, but the taste and “chewing feel” is different, a bit yellowish color.

It comes with 1 full egg (滷蛋) and divided into 2.

There’re also some meat balls, like 滷肉.

The sup is mixing with some sauce and it’s matching with this mee.

I don’t know what sauce are they used but it’s nice in overall.


Drink… still the same like previous, my favorite… ABC and add topping with ice-cream.

RM3.20

Next time should order after finish the food. Or else, the ABC is very fast to melt and end up, is like drink ABC rather than eat ABC.

Rendezvous Restaurant @ Penang

Experience the 1st & only Mediterranean & Arabic Cuisine in town with Chef Abel Top Class.

Sounds great, right?

Haha… this is the 1st time I had been rewarded with such a great prize by Ezi.


Feels like this restaurant is so high class and luxury, look from outside.


It’s just opposite Penang high court.


If you have ur dinner on Saturday night, there’ll b something special entertainment while u enjoy your meal.

Every Saturday Night, there’ll b Belly Dancing entertainment… wau…

But due to some technical error on my schedule, I had to schedule on non-Saturday for my dinner.


Initially the waiter thought we had 2vouchers, thus they give us 2bowls soup of the day

This soup is different compare to other western restaurant mushroom soup.


Tuna Salad

It had lots of tuna on this salad.

Taste nice and perfect match, where I never eaten before.


Coffee

Tasty and not like “bancuh pocket kopi” where I always heard on the roadside.


Tahdaa… this is the main course for my dinner… Mix Seafood Grill

But this portion is too much for 1person, so I had to share this meals only I can finish it.

The seafood is fresh, tasty and juicy, but slightly salty.

Got scallop, prawn, green clams, cuttlefish, fish fillet with thousand island sauce, small okra (which I never seen before because it’s so small), cucumber, potato, mustard sauce, and French fries.


Chocolate Ice Cream for my dessert.


Nice environment, with beautiful state-of-the-art decoration and surpassing beauty scenery, so romantic.


Looks like old stuff too.


Other menu that u can choose:


Address: 1 Green Hall Georgetown, Penang

Coconut Stall @ Jalan Perak, Penang

This is short but special blog I ever written.

While walking along the Jalan Perak @ Penang, see this special phenomenon in front of my eye.

Perhaps u might be familiar what’s this.

It’s Coconut Stall on the roadside, so good business~!!

Decided to try it out.

Just ordered a coconut, the boss simply take 1 coconut and open a small hole on the top by using his sharp cleaver or called “Parang”.

Natural and refreshing coconut juice without add any sugar or ice, it’s so nice even when u are under hot sun.

After finish the juice, u can ask the boss to halve the coconut for u to enjoy the flesh inside.

And what was amazed to me is the original old style scoop which is made by coconut coir.

The price consider reasonable, only RM2.20 per coconut.
