Bayan Lepas Comfort Zone
Ahh~ what a nice carpet. The soft and smooth carpet makes you wanna lay on carpet instead of sofas. These are just few new additions in refurbished lounge @ Eastin Hotel Penang.
Do you want my sausage?
Eastin Hotel – a business hotel that Free Trade Zone (FTZ) managers like to allocate their foreign visitors here. Seriously I never visited their cafe, namely Swez Brasserie before. In October 2012, they are having new buffet theme called German Galore so we paid a visit to it (Chef above is Kelvin, the star of the day).
Muar’s Asam Pedas
Other than Otak-Otak, another famous food in Muar is Asam Pedas – a sour and spicy stew dish. Unlike north region’s version, Asam Ikan such as the one above (RM53.00 – market price) was simply sour and spicy. You will start sweating the moment you put a scope into your mouth. We went there for friend’s wedding and were fortunate enough to be treated by the bride in Yu Tou Wang 麻坡鱼头王 restaurant.
Buy 1 Free 1 & Free Flow Wine/Beer Buffet @ G-Hotel
My friends asked me what kind of buffets available in G Hotel – a famous business hotel in Penang town area? I suddenly recalled that I visited the hotel recently (for food sampling purpose only) and nice PR officers passed me a bunch of documents. One of it was the promotion for Sep – Oct 2011. Surprisingly they do have “Buy 1 Free 1” offer which looks tempting.
Anything healthier you have to cook it yourself
Update 16-Jul-2013: Sweet-i is moved to Taman Lip Sin, opposite of Super Tanker Food Court. See Google map at the end of this post.
Dessert houses are blooming in Penang island. Most of them emphasized on taste (e.g. sweetness) and appearance (e.g. served by pretty girls) rather than the desserts’ nutrition. Sweet-i, however, is an exception.

Ever wonder what is the top cancer for men and women? Is cancer related to things you eat?
Honey good for health. Period.
Ipoh Eating Trip: Foh San (again)
My rich friend bought a new Honda City and would like to try long distance drive so I took this opportunity to travel down to Ipoh with my friend. We started at 5am from Penang with the purpose of arriving there early for dim sum. Since my friend was first time there, we choose Foh San 富山 as it had better environment and we arrived there at 7am.
Langkawi Nature Discovery Package
Two weeks ago I joined a one-day “Langkawi Nature Discovery” package to Langkawi– an island north of Penang. The package was offered by Langkawi Coral– a Langkawi tour agent in Penang. It had been decades since I visited the island. Even though Langkawi is not as well developed as Penang island, it is in fact bigger than Penang, and even Singapore!
