Xuan Xin Restaurant

I knew this Chinese Restuarant since it first opening in Tg. Tokong. The first XuanXin is in Steamboat instead of chinese cuisine. The second XuanXin was opened in Gurney Plaza which is in Chinese cuisine. The third XuanXin was in Queensbay Mall. My colleagues told me that XuanXin is not bad. Well, today we go and try it in Queensbay Mall.



Alfonso commended that this English sentence has something wrong. You guess, what's wrong is that?



Fish soup.. prepared by Master Liang. Taste: 3/5


Pork liver soup... also prepared by Master Liang. Taste:3/5


"干炒牛河"... Taste: 3/5


"石斑清蒸河粉"... Taste: 2/5


Their food is "out of my expectation". From their renovation, service, price and opened few branches, I expected their food is reach to certain standard. Well, it turns out not. Anyway, I think their "叫菜吃饭" is better than a single plate order.

Muntri Mewa Hotel & Restaurant

I knew this restaurant from Newspaper. So I would like to know how this restaurant look like and the taste of their food. We follow the GPS, but we could not find it. We decided stop the car and walk along the street. Ha... it is there! Not very obvious. We never notice this when we were drove along.

When we enter this small restaurant only know that this is a guest house. Well renovated and nice decoration... very unique. I thought this is a budget hotel but check online, I know I'm wrong. I take a look around this area, only know that here do have a lot of guest house and motel. A lot ah mo hanging here.

Well, our target is trying their food. Look at their menu, I'm very disappointed... not much choice and pricey. No choice, we already sat down... just order la~

 Fish and chips... Taste: Nothing special... same as any western food stall in food court


Salad with chicken breast... hmm... no surprise.

 
Tong Sui... sweet... nice? Hmm... so so la~

 
I know his heart is bleeding... :p

Kirishima Japanese Restaurant

Date: 12 Feb 2012, Sun
Venue: Cititel Hotel, Georgetown, Penang
Environment: 3.5/5
Overall: 3/5

This year V day was fell on Tuesday. Well, we celebrated it in advance... Sunday. 1st, easy to manage time... 2nd, avoid any traffic (restaurant/transport)... 3rd, avoid cozy food.

This restaurant was opened many years already which located inside of Cititel Hotel. Some of my friends also have good impression on their foods. Thus, we decided to try it out as our V day celebration. Actually, I have another new Japanese Restaurant on my mind... just open recently which is Sushi Zento, located at Precinct 88, Jalan Tokong. Well, I keep it for next time :)

CNY decoration in Cititel Hotel... Giant dragon which make by a lot of mineral water botel.

Due to it is make with the beef... it is tasty than those make with chicken. Japanese curry... it is not spicy at all... it just smell like curry.

Our bill... out of my expectation (cheaper)... better than go and eat western food :) Actually I feel that the price here is reasonable than Hisago.

I still think that Miraku and Edo Ichi but both prices also consider high.
