Goodbye Maybell!

This is a scheduled post. :)
Exactly ten days ago, we had a small farewell dinner for Maybell at a small restaurant named Nordsee Bistro.
It’s located behind Hock Choon, Jalan Ampang.

Let’s just say the price is a bit WOW for a student like me. But if you want to have a quiet dinner with your friends and family, I guess it would be an okay choice.
I was quite surprised when they gave me the menu. It’s only one page O_____O! The options were too limited but haha good for fickle people like me.
Anyway, Maybell is going off soon! Gosh everyone is leaving the country soon. And she is the first one among us.
Who’s next?
Cass or Kyun first?
Since the food was a bit expensive for us. We all decided to share haha!
Then there comes Maybell saying
"I’m very hungry, I don’t wanna share!” LOL

Our mushroom soup served with garlic bread.
The soup is really thick and creamy with big chunks of mushrooms! Totally not stingy with the mushrooms!
P1050259[1]
This is our deep fried fish with remonade sauce. THE SAUCE WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
The rest of the photos are what the rest ordered so I’m not really sure is it good or not. Just for you to drool at! LOL

Hungry now? Haha.

I haven’t post pictures of dessert yet!
The group wanted to have dessert and the place we were eating have limited choices. So Delicious it is!
But I guess it was a bad choice to go there. RM5 parking per entry pft and the place was full with people!!!

I didn’t eat any of them! Yeah I said no to desserts? Too full from dinner earlier. Anyway, they said the mango cheesecake tasted weird.
All the good desserts were sold out. :(

Penang Food NYUMMMM!

23rd Dec @ 7.37pm

Oh gosh! I lost focus! I seriously can’t study today IDK why. I just can’t look at the book for more than a minute. I guess I’ll just blog about the Penang trip and study later. OK DAMN I guess I’ll leave this post for later. Cause I feel real guilty for choosing blogging over my studies. BAI!

Firstly,

Merry Christmas everyone!

I was detached with the internet for a period of time cause my aunt is in London and she forgot to pay the bills –.-

Anyway, continue with my Penang trip! Hah yeah I took crazy loads of photos in just a 2D1N trip that I had to separate them into so many posts.

Remember on the first post I mentioned about the food we ate at some random restaurant cause we couldn’t find the Kek Lok Si famous asam laksa? The food there was wet and blerghhh. Thank goodness the rest of the food during the trip isn’t like that!

On the first day, after all that swimming and taking photos at the beach. We were all super hungry so we head down to Gurney Drive.

P1050126[1]
It’s like a big food court with many hawker stalls. Char kuay teow, cendol, apam balik, asam laksa, cockles and lots more.

P1050127[1]
From the top: wan tan mee(on the left), fish ball glass noodles(blue bowl on the right), cockles!!!, leong cha and rojak.

The wan tan mee was just so-so to me. Okay actually I kinda forgot if it’s fish ball or meat ball but inside the ball there’s mince meat and it’s really juicy! When you bite the fish/meat ball, there’s juice leaking out! *thumbs up*

The cockles were too clean for me. –.- I think the seller is really hygienic. I don’t like cockles that are too clean haha! The rojak is just normal, nothing much to shout about.

P1050130[1] 
The char kuay teow that took my brother almost 20 minutes to get it. There’s so many char kuay teow stall there but that’s the only one with a queue.
If you wanna try, go towards the end of Gurney Drive(the end which is towards a shopping mall). I think you’ll see the queue.

Didn’t take much photos cause we were all very hungry haha!

After filling up our stomachs, we went to a night market which was along the road on our way back to the hotel.

Saw a few stalls selling all this pretty lantern lights. :)

P1050136[1]

P1050138[1]

P1050139[1]
Look at all these pretty Chinese looking boxes. So pweeeeety! :)

P1050140[1]
Just some random bullshit I took haha!

***

The next morning, we had complimentary breakfast at the hotel. Nyum nyummmm!

P1050169[1]
I wanted Honey Star!!! But they only provide corn flakes and some weird looking cereal blerghhh. Mummy never let me buy cereals so that I could eat for breakfast whenever I walk pass them in the supermarket pffft.

P1050170[1]
I saw the ang moh behind keep looking at my dad. He must be wondering why do they read newspapers during breakfast. Not only my dad does that. There were a few Chinese men doing the exact same thing. HAHA! Our culture.

Later in the afternoon, after checking out. We went to this famous row of shops that sell Penang manufactured food. Mummy wanted to buy some back to London to give her cousin. The shops were all selling similar stuff. We just didn’t know which to buy from. Just randomly choose this!

P1050232[1] 

Just look at how much junk they sell!

P1050228[1]
Assorted pickles!!!

P1050231[1]

P1050234[1] 
Guess what this cooling powder is for? For beauty purposes! Haha mummy told me that my great grandma use to make her own cooling powder and put it on her face.

Anyway, after that we went to a small shabby restaurant for lunch. It’s somewhere near the row of biscuit shops.

P1050227
That man on the left of this picture is the owner of this place. There was a really young picture of him selling cendol inside the restaurant.

The place may be small but many celebrities came all the way just to eat here. And hah only RM3 for one bowl of laksa. Where can you get that price in KL?

 P1050239[1]
Look at the thickness of ‘har gou’ in the spoon :DDD

P1050238

P1050237[1] 

Done with the Penang trip. I’m now hungry after drooling at all the food pictures –.-

GTG eat now

Penang: Hard Rock Hotel.

We decided to stay in a nicer hotel since it’s just one night heh! So Hard Rock Hotel it is!
P1050143[1] P1050148[1]
Lightings on the ceiling at the entrance. :)
P1050146[1]

P1050163[1]
I did take pictures of the room when it was still clean and neat but I think the room looks nicer at night with the lightings. :)
P1050035[1]
OK nvm. I should just post up this picture and show you why I prefer the one on top.
P1050161
A 32’ inch LCD TV with a DVD player sumore. Daddy bought some chinese DVD to watch later that night. Gosh that movie is so sien.
P1050167
The toilet was open concept. Haha so you can brush your teeth and not miss anything on TV. Of course you can choose to close the toilet just by sliding the mirror when you wanna bath.
