Hat Yai: Log Terrace Thai Food Restaurant

Click here for more posts about my Hat Yai One-Day Trip.

Hat Yai Food: Log Terrace Thai Food Restaurant – Here’s another restaurant that I’ve visited in Hatyai, Thailand yesterday and that is the Log Terrace Thai Food Restaurant. Well, this place has a theme and which is a loggy feeling with lot’s of artificial log in the interior and entrance which gives a jungle feeling.

The location of it besides a river stream add a sense of nature while dining at there. The restaurant was very famous but then it’d become quiet nowadays, but still it’s introduces in tourism website. According to my Thai’s relative, this restaurant has been operating for about 8 years +.

Thai food is awesome and I couldn’t resist myself from it. Though, eating too much of Thai food will feel weird and uncomfortable. At that time of dinner, I was still craving for Thai food, but at the moment of writing this, I am not already. HAHA.

The restaurant has a nice set but then it’s quiet, on a Sunday evening. Check out the place here and food after the break.

Hat Yai: Saban-nga Restaurant

Click here for more posts about my Hat Yai One-Day Trip.

Hat Yai Food: Saban-nga Restaurant – Sorry if I am posting many food pr0n lately which seduces your taste bud and hungriness, I just couldn’t stop myself on sharing them with you guys. Haha. Yesterday, I went to a one-day trip to Hat Yai and the most interesting stuff at there to me was the food!

I went to this restaurant called Saban-nga Restaurant which serves authentic Thai food. Most cool is steamed rice was in purplish colour! It’s located somewhere near to the university area and it was a Thai relative who brought us there.

The restaurant has a nice and comfy interior with nice garden garden outside. Well, I don’t really know how to introduce the food, so I’ll let the photo speaks. The tomyum, the vegetable, the omelet, the pork leg (not really my favourite), the petai, were good!

Purple steamed rice. The dye is from a kind of flower.

Thai loves pork leg, which I don’t really fancy about it.

Tomyum goong! With lots of shrimp and fish.

Petai fried with onion, prawn and sambal. I realised that restaurant in Bangkok does not serves petai.

Pickled mango cut into small strips, tasted sour.

Thai-style omelet. Do you know why Thai’s omelet is so good? It’s because when they cook, they add in a little bit of milk, so it looks fluffy.

Nam-prit, a kind of Thai’s sald which you eat raw vegetable with Thai-style spicy sambal.

Fish cake which tasted like otak-otak.

Fried kangkung or known as phak bung in Thai.

Fried fish with meat cut into small pieces.

A glass of ice blended watermelon to end up the meal and also to freshen up the day.

Are you feeling hungry now? =D

Meet Fresh Taiwanese Desserts At Gurney Paragon

Meet Fresh Taiwanese Desserts At Gurney Paragon – Who say Penang doesn’t have Snowflakes? Ya, Penang really doesn’t have Snowflakes, but then Penang has Meet Fresh & Blackball Taiwanese Desserts. Forget about Snowflakes already, because I am now in love with Meet Fresh Taiwanese Desserts at Gurney Paragon.

Now, Penang people has no need to jealous of people eating Snowflakes in Klang Valley, because you can head to Gurney Paragon and Gurney Plaza for Meet Fresh. Opened about 2 months ago, Meet Fresh is currently my favourite and the location of the outlet is perfect because it’s near to my place. Haha.

Meet Fresh serves a variety of Taiwanese desserts like grass jelly with pearl, red bean, and more. Besides, they also serve beverage and some little snack food which is pretty cool.

Same like Snowflakes, you get a vibrating device which will vibrate when your desserts are ready.

Milk for your Signature Herb Jelly. I like this.

Signature Herb Jelly – Cold.

My current favourite Meet Fresh’s desserts is the Signature Herb Jelly Cold (RM6.90). The taro balls are so chewy and there’s many pearl. Adding in a small cup of milk make the desserts taste sweet and superb. If you have a member card (RM10/signup), you can get a 10% off your total price. You can also collect 10 stamps and get a free desserts too.

Beancurd Toufu Fa With Red Bean.

Signature Herb Jelly – HOT. The grass jelly is too waterish which I don’t like but the taro balls are chewy enough and I like. =D

I guess I’m gonna try other thing from their menu, any recommendation? I just realised that Gurney Plaza also has an outlet on the 3rd floor, so those who are lazy to walk to Gurney Paragon can straight eat at Gurney Plaza.

Chicken Cordon Bleu At Max Deli Western Food

Chicken Cordon Bleu At Max Deli Western Food – Max Deli Western Food is a food stall located in food court of Tanjung Bungah area, just right opposite of The Cove Condominium. They actually serve affordable Malaysian-style western food and I found it kinda good.

I don’t really have a favourite western food corner in Penang now, last time I used to like James Foo’s Western Food at Fettes Park, but after upgrading to a better outlet, there have always been crowded and taste wise is not as good as before. It doesn’t feel comfortable eating at there because there’s always very many people. The one at Mount Erskine is not bad too.

Back to this Max Deli, I find its Chicken Cordon Bleu is not bad, crunchy enough with thick filling of cheese and sausage. Presentation might not be good but it costs only RM9 per plate.

Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor)

Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor) – When we talk about Teochew Porridge, it’s actually white waterish porridge with a few small dishes that to be eat with the porridge. This is the Teochew-style. Cantonese-style is porridge that has taste and cook with pork or chicken.

Many people like Teochew Porridge because it’s refreshing, it’s affordable and you can pick a variety of dishes. It’s just like eating mixed/economy rice, just that you don’t eat with rice but with white porridge.

At Presgrave Street (Lebuh Presgrave), also known as Sa Tiao Lor to the local, there’s a kopitiam that has a Teochew Porridge stall that operates throughout noon to the afternoon. I went to try out last week and it’s pretty good. There’s a variety of dishes for you to choose like salted egg, mui choi, fried fish, omelet, vegetable and more. What I like is the porridge which is watery and the rice is soft.

Check out the map for the location. It’s located in a coffee shop at the corner of Presgrave Street. At night, the coffee shop sells Hokkien Mee and Char Koay Teow.

Lunch At Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice

Lunch At Wen Chang Hainan Chicken Rice – One of my favourite Hainanese chicken rice stall in Penang is this Wen Chang Chicken Rice that’s located in the UNESCO World Heritage City of George Town on Cintra Street. It had over decade of history and it serves authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice. Wen Chang is actually a district in Hainan, China. The owner of the restaurant is also a Hainanese.

Dad and I always dine at there during lunch time. Wen Chang Chicken Rice is also very famous as it has won before in a chicken rice competition. What I like about Wen Chang is the rice and the white steam chicken which is so tender and smooth.

One thing that must not be missed at the Wen Chang Chicken Rice is the Hainanese Kopi-Peng (Ice Coffee) which has a good blend of condensed milk and local coffee powder.

You can try out the chicken feet with mushroom in soy sauce too which I think it’s pretty good. But for the Loh Bak, it’s not crunchy enough. Every set of chicken rice comes with a bowl of soup. You can pick between white steamed chicken or roasted chicken.

Bangkok Food: Delicious Pork Burger & Sausages At 7 Eleven – One of the must eat snack food in Bangkok, Thailand is the pork sausages and pork burger in 7 Eleven convenience store. It’s their specialty that all of their 7 Eleven sells pork sausages and pork burger. It’s cheap, it’s nice and it’s delicious.

They have a variety of pork sausage for you to choose, there’s choice of black pepper sausage, sausage with bacon, foot long sausage and more. It costs from only 15 Baht.

Besides, pork burger is another must try. They actually just heat the bread and the pork patties, as well as egg for you, then your burger is served. It’s fast and so cheap in price at only cheapest 20 Baht too. You can then enhance your burger by adding various vegetable like onion, lettuce, tomato slices and sauces like tomato, chilli and mayo.

Bangkok: Famous Somboon Seafood Curry Crab

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Trip: Famous Somboon Seafood Curry Crab (Day 3) – After eating chicken rice, we actually went back to shopping at Platinum Fashion Mall until our foot cannot stand the tiredness. Mom was really powerful as she can keep exploring and hunting for clothing even though the feet sores. Haha, girls really girls, when it comes to shopping, they can ignore everything.

We went back to hotel for a rest later, went to foot massage then we headed to Ratchada area for dinner – Somboon Seafood. Somboon Seafood is a very famous curry crab restaurant in Bangkok located at Ratchada area.

One tips for you is that don’t get scam by taxi driver who offers to bring you to famous curry crab restaurant, Somboondee Restaurant. Some will thought it’s the same restaurant, or it’s the branch but it’s a complete rip off of the real Somboon restaurant with a ‘dee’ added to the name, the price at Somboondee is blood sucking expensive and I’ve been there few years back.

But now we are clever already, we know the real curry crab is Somboon Seafood. We took a cab there and costs 100 Baht. You can also take MRT to there and get off at Hwai Khwang station.

Somboon Seafood is a very famous restaurant in Bangkok, specially famous with their “Bangkok’s best fried crab curry”, so it’s a place that must no be missed when visiting Bangkok. The restaurant is so big that it spans 3 floors of seating. The dinner was awesome and love the curry crab.

This is the curry crab. It’s nice to eat it with steamed rice. If you are lazy and want to skip the haze of eating crab, order the one without shell.

A kind of vegetable that tasted old, and crunchy. Like it because there’s many garlic.

Noodle with goose feet.

Desserts! It’s the yummy mango with glutinous rice. A famous Thai desserts.

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Trip: KuangHeng – Famous Chicken Rice (Day 3) – When you are in Thailand, you will think about Thai food like tomyam kung, pad thai, mango with glutinous rice. Those are authentic Thai food. But have you heard before that Bangkok has good Chinese-style chicken rice? Yes there is one that I know which is located right opposite of Platinum Fashion Mall.

We went there during our shopping break at Platinum Fashion Mall for lunch. In fact, every time mom and dad go to Bangkok, they will visit this chicken rice shop. The chicken rice shop is called Kuang Heng.

It is an old restaurant and has opened for more than 70 years, since 1932 and quite famous among the local. Same like our Hainanese chicken rice, the rice it self is chicken flavoured and they serve steam white chicken. What’s special about it is the chilli sauce which taste a little spicy and sour. The sauce is nice to eat with rice and the chicken.

They even have a Facebook page too! That’s our lunch for day 3 in Bangkok.

Outside of the shop.

Steamed white chicken hanging on the hook.

The black thing is chicken liver.

This is a special dish like our chai kuay (vegetable cake) but with chicken inside.

The special chilli sauce.

Must eat on Pratunam Road.
