Have you ever wonder how it feels to dining on a toilet bowl, eating on the sink and even eating from the toilet bowl or bathtub?

We went to Queensbay Mall in Penang and stumbled on this shop and decided to try it out. It’s something unique that you don’t get in Kuching. This is a concept restaurant/cafe. There were so many people dining there, maybe it’s new that’s why.

T.Bowl Concept Restauran is the name.

Everybody sitting on the toilet bowl and enjoying their food.

I’m sure it’s something that attract the youngsters to come here. The price for the food is a bit on the higher end though.

We went to a village somewhere in Balik Pulau for very late lunch. We were told that the Penang Assam Laksa there is one of the best one. The place is very seclude and we got no idea how to go also. Furthermore, our friend got lost when looking for it also.


This is the infamous Penang Assam Laksa (RM2.50). It was indeed delicious. So many people went there to have their fix of Penang Assam Laksa. The place was full, there’s never an empty place. Once a table was cleared, another cutomer would come and sit down.


I think this is called Har Mee or I think it should be Hokkien Mee, not very sure though, there’s many prawns and tasted “prawny” too. It’s also RM2.50.

Waiting for Ten Ichi’s November promotion? Here you go. There is only one daily RM9.90 promotion though. There are two Kaizeki sets this month, a sushi set and a rice dish.

Kaizeki Set A

Original price is RM42 but now you can get it at RM28.90, only in November.The set consists of Braised Salmon in Chef Special Sauce, Beancurd in Light Ankake Brooth, Crab Roll Salad, Stir Fried Japanese Kimchi, Miso Soup, Rice, and Fruits.

Crab Roll Salad is very unique, this is the first time we came across it. The crabstick is not the type that you can get in the supermarket though. The fish roes on top gives it a very nice bright colour.

The salmon is braised with special chef’s sauce. Salmon lover will defintely love this!

Beancurd in Light Ankake Brooth.

Stir Fried Japanese Kimchi, it’s very appetising.

Next up is the Kaizeki Set B. The original price is RM56 but in November, it’s only RM36.90

Sushi lovers will surely be very happy with this set. This set comes with Kaizeki Sushi Combination, Beancurd in Light Ankake Broth, Ebi Salad, Miso Soup, and Fruits.

Very nice presentation.

According to them, this is not the traditional type of sushi but it’s modern sushi. If you would like to have something different instead of the traditional ones, this set is a must-try. Great for sharing with your friends too.

In fact, just order the 2 Kaizeki sets and share with 3-4 friends will be a very great choice. Just split the cost among yourselves and you will get to eat good quality Japanese food with a fraction of price. Not to forget, the free flow of high quality green which you only need to top up RM2 per person.

This is the one and only RM9.90 meal. Deep Fried Salmon Belly with Rice. You can get this everyday.

Lastly, Aburi Salmon Maki (RM18.90).

We highly recommend this. It’s only RM18.90 and you get quality sushi. We couldn’t even gulp down the sushi in one go, it’s quite big unless you got a big mouth ;p

All the food is available for lunch and dinner. Hope you enjoy your meal this November at Ten Ichi. Reservation is recommended because they are always packed during meal time.

We went to Tropical fruit Garden for our tea break. You can order many fruit dishes or fruit juice there. The furits are from that garden itself.

This is the mixed fruit platter. Don’t remember the price.

Ice dessert with mango puree. very refreshing on a hot day but it was raining when we were there. I don’t remember how much is this also.

My conclusion is that, the things here are definitely not cheap. We bought the nutmeg sweet for RM6 per packet and we later found out at airport that they sell much cheaper but forgot how much. Very bad memory.
