QEII Restaurant

This restaurant has been operating some times ago. Read from food bloggers, the environment there sounds very nice... 

"Built on stilts over the water, the club-restaurant combination is next to the Penang jetty overlooking the marina. As night falls, the venue converts from a fine dining eatery to a large alfresco club buzzing with vivacious house and dance music." -- by Timeout.com

OK, today is my little boy 1st B'day. So I decided to visit this restaurant as celebrating his B'day. Hehehe...

"Food From The Sea" Salad... RM18. It looks like soup, isn't? Haha...

Taste:4/5

Kataifi Bacon and Queen Scallops... RM23. Scallops not juicy enough. But overall is good.

Taste: 4/5

Scallops....!!! Rolled with bacon.

Lobster Bisque ... RM16. Too strong of "prawn essence". You must drink it before it get cold.

Taste: 2/5

QEII’s signature wood fire pizza...The Mafia... 8"... RM36. Imelda commented that it taste better than the Ferringhi Garden's pizza.

Taste: 4/5

Roast Chicken with Mushroom Herb Sauce... RM28. Imelda and Ah Pheng also commented that this is the best among the rest of the main course that we ordered. I would say the taste is just stronger then the rest one.

Taste: 4/5

Lamb Shank Osso-Buco ... RM42. Soft and nice if it is hot. But can't take too much... else you will feel... hehehe.

Taste: 3/5

Volcano!!!! Salted volcano...

Juicy Salt Baked Chicken. We thought that is similar with Ipoh salted chicken. No, it is not! Roasted chicken with some vegetable plus some herb sauce. Actually, not salty at all. I disappointed at all.

Rate: 2/5

OK... bill time... sweating~

If you would like to know their menu and price... go to this people's blog "http://kokcheehou.blogspot.com/2013/02/qe-ii-penang-waterfront-venue.html". He captured every single page of menu. Good! Haha...

The Sire Museum Restaurant

Location: 4, Lebuh King, George Town, Penang.

Opening Time: Daily, 11.30am-3pm, 6pm-10.30pm

Tel: +604 264 5088

Again, heard this restaurant long time ago. But yet to have chance to visit. This year anniversary, I did some "research" and decided to pay The Sire visit. Why and what I need to do some research? Actually, I was looking for some unique restaurant which opening at noon instead of only at night. Because day time is more convenient for us if wanna bring Lucas along, hehe.

The ambiance of this restaurant is nice. There have another partition is display the collection of antiques. But I'm not sure whether I can enter or not. So I stop my step there. After read from TimeOut website, only know that all these antiques is possession of the Yeap family for decade, and I think that I can enter to look those antiques. No wonder it called museum restaurant.Actually, the structure of this restaurant is similar as one of the Penang tourism spot which is Rumah Peranakan.

 

The ambiance of this restaurant is good, isn't? Christmas is around the corner. You can see that they have done some Christmas decoration in such Nyonya feel building.

Okay, let's focus on the food that we ordered. Their menu is similar as its sister restaurant, Ferringhi Garden restaurant.

Strawberry Milk Shake, RM11.80. The taste was too light for me and not sweet enough. Maybe they more emphasize on healthy.
Taste: 1/5

Carbonara Spaghetti, RM22.80. First few bites were great. More and more bite, then you will know how it feels if you use to eat such creamy type of spaghetti. Overall is nice and lot of ingredient.
Taste: 4/5

Norwegian Seafood Soup, RM28.80. Same as the time we ordered it in Ferringhi Garden Restaurant. Sour and Spicy. But this time is a too spicy and salty. We can't take all. Else, this is a very special and nice soup in the town.

Taste: 2/5 (due to too spicy and salty. My 1st time taste it in Ferringhi Garden was 4/5).

Neptune's Delight, RM79.80. Whole baked lobster and serve with 2 king prawns and veges. I love its creamy cheese sauce and the well cook lobster meat. But my hubby said that he totally cannot taste its fresh meat due to already been deep dried. Yes, I agreed with him. Seafood should cook by steaming, only can taste its fresh. But I still like this dish, hehe.

Taste: 5/5

What do you think about its price? Service and environment is good.
