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.

I’m sure you all now this already. Hotdog 1901 is now operating in tHe Spring. When they opened, we were in Penang.

Haven’t try them yet. Just went there to take some photos to update. We thought they will set up a shop here but it’s just a stall. It’s located at Ta Kiong area.

Have you eaten them?

This post will cover our dinner, supper and dessert of day 3 in Penang.

We had our dinner at Yi Garden. It was so packed! It was not easy to find a place to sit. I’m not sure where is the exact area it located, it’s located somewhere around Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Centre if not mistaken.

The wantan mee that our friend said that it’s very famous. This plate cost RM3+ if not mistaken. The wantan were hiddden below the noodle.

This is just wantan with no mee. Very succulent wantan, no wonder it’s so famous.

Oh dear… What are these two called? They seemed like Cantonese Char. Anyone got any idea? :p Forgot to take note of the name and the price.

O jien again, RM5 only and the oysters were generous!

Pork spare parts porridge. Don’t remember how much also but it’s much cheaper than in Kuching and this is the kind that you can eat the every single grain of the porridge instead of the mushy type that we usually got.

Next round, we went to the food court next door. To try more food. This is bak chang.

Chu Chang Fen, this is much better than the previous one. The gravy is extremely sticky and thick! A bit too sweet for our liking. Still with the sambal, it’s quite nice.

Then, here came our pizza, very cheesy thin crust pizza. This is really recommended! Not sure how much but it should be below RM15(just wild guess).

Our last stop was a shop selling herbal drinks and tong sui that is very famous in Penang. Not going to let you know the name though. In fact, we forgot the name also. Very hard to read and pronounce.

These were some of the stuffs that we had. We spent RM40+ on all of them! It’s very expensive!!! The most expensive “meal” in Penang. Does this even consier a meal. However, the ingredients they used are pricey and good quality ones, that’s why you got such price.

Let’s see… The cup of drink is some kind of ginseng drink, the black one is guilingao, the yellow green with black sauce is di ya kueh(I hope I got it right), and the white one is tao hu hua, the brownish one is xuet kap(not sure how to pronounce it, it’s not cheap stuff).

So that’s the end of our day 3 food.

See the title of this post? That’s because we didn’t manage to get the name of the place ;p All we’re thinking of eating but it’s not hard to locate. It’s just next to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Centre Penang. If you are facing the entrance of Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Centre Penang, just walk to your left and you will be greeted with a small junction, turn into that junction and you will find it.

It’s a popular place for chicken rice, duck rice, pork rice or mixture of all those. Not to forget the char sio. Too bad we didn’t manage to eat the char sio because when we were there, it’s not ready it.

We ordered 6 sets and the meat given was very generous! Guess what? It’s only RM39.60 for 6 of us including drinks. SURPRISE! You think you can get this kind of price and this kind of portion in Kuching? NO WAY! You can’t but it’s possible in Penang. It looked little from this angle but I can assure you that this portion is usually what you get for like 3-4 people in Kuching. Imagine we are getting this kind of portion each in Penang.

According to our friend, ordering it set by set will get bigger portion compare to order a big set to share among each other.

The soup is really tasty. Quite big bowl too. It’s really worth it. Extremely worth it! *LOL*

Long Beach is situated at Batu Feringghi. It’s quite a popular place among the locals and the tourists. Our friend recommended us to have our dinner here.

The drinks we ordered: grape ice blended, orange ice blended, pineapple ice blended, and watermelon juice. The ice blended in only RM4, and the juice is RM2.50(if not mistaken). Very cheap right?

Following are the food we ordered but forgot about the prices.

Oh dear… Forget what this is called. It’s a kind of popiah, not sure is Hainan or Hokkien hahaha…

Mushroom soup.

Garlic chicken chop(I think this should be the name), very nice.

In Penang, their o jien is wet type. They are very generous with the oysters and the price is so much cheaper than what you can get in Kuching.

Fried kueh tiaw, Penang is famous for their fried kueh tiaw but this is the only fried kueh tiaw we had when we were in Penang.

Our friend recommeded us to order this. Not sure about the name. Maybe it’s buttered grilled prawn.

That’s all for our day 2 dinner.

We had our brunch at Kang Hoe Coffee Shop. So sorry that we have no idea where’s the exact location of this place. It’s somewhere on the way down from Batu Ferringhi. We drove around without knowing where to go for breakfast and ended up here.

Fried bee hoon, only RM1. Portion was not bad. Where can you get RM1 food in Kuching with this portion? This is something new for us.

Chu chang fen(RM2.60), it’s different from what you can get here. Theirs don’t have fillings and it’s served with sambal and very thick and sweet prawn paste.

Don’t remember what is this dish call but it’s something like our cha kueh.

Not sure what kind of noodle is this but it came with some wantan. It cost RM3 and portion was big.

So sorry for the lack of details. We were in a rush and didn’t take note of anything. More food to come.

Reached Penang a bit late due to flight delay. Since our flight was at night, the only thing we could do is eat but many places closed already. We had supper at a coffeeshop somewhere at Air Itam(if not mistaken), the name is called East Coast something-something. Can’t give you much details about the place because the locals brought us there and all we thought was eating ;p

The following are the food that we had, no price available but rest assure that Penang food is way so much cheaper than Kuching. Pork is used in many Chinese food. Most food you see here contain pork except the seafood.

Penang’s Kueh Chap. It is different from what we have in Kuching. The soup isn’t very thick. They even have duck meat in there. Totally different from what you can get in Kuching.

Mee Jawa, it’s cooked by the Chinese. You see the cha siew there? It tasted very different from what you can get from Kuching also. It tasted more like belacan beehon to me hahaha… We noticed that in Penang, as long that it’s mee dish, you will definitely get bee hoon along with the mee.

Duck rice, it’s just duck rice.

Tai Luk Mee.

Hokkien Char.

BBQ Fish, the sambal is really tasty. They BBQ the fish with curry powder unlike in Kuching which the sambal is directly BBQ along with the fish.

It seems like lala is everywhere in Penang. This is very delicious!

There you go… End of part one of the food. Part two will come soon.
