Maricosa Restaurant (Pacific Rim & Hawaiian)

Location: Straits Quay, Tanjung Tokong, Penang
Date: 15 Feb 2014, Saturday

This restaurant was started operated on 2012. We celebrated 2014 Valentine's day in conjunction with Chap Goh Mei Day ( last day of Chinese New Year) at here. We celebrated the day after the actual V'day because it is more convenient for us since our boy just 13 months plus it is weekend, less expensive and avoid for traffic jam.

Logo of Maricosa... Pineapple...Tropicana feel~.

Outdoor seat... Nice design. Can enjoy your meal in front of boats, blue sky and partial tooks the sea.

Interior design and decoration

There have corner selling some stuffs... I believe is something related to Hawaii goodies.

My men and my boy... my men feeding my boy his porridge. I like their fan design... Very unique.

Hawaiian margaritas, RM21.90. The quantity can serve up for 2 persons. I thought that is juice plus champagne... Well, it contains alcohol. I can take much, hehe.

I ordered their salmon set which under salmon fair. Pumpkin soup and charcoal buns. Taste of soup is normal. The buns... Hmm... I feel only portion of buns is soft and tasteless. I'm not sure it should be this taste since this is my first time having charcoal bun.

Homemade squid sausage, RM18.90. The taste and texture are horrible! The meat is dry and not juicy at all... Hard to bite. Regret to order this... I should listen to Alfonso to order the clamp as appetizer.

My grilled salmon with butter, RM 33.90. Portion is small. Tiny slice of grilled salmon serve with potato mash. Very simple display. Taste: 3/5.

Honey pork ribs, RM42.90. Appearance looks good. Juicy if compare to the Morgan Field pork rib in Queensbay Mall that we had for lunch. If I not mistaken, it is teriyaki taste. My hubby said not bad. To me, ok-la. Taste:3.5/5

$$$$$$$$.... Overall the food is just ok, ambiance nice. If base on the portion and taste... I feel it is a bit overprice. I think customer is come for the ambiance instead of food. If you look at the menu, food display in picture looks yummy.

'Side dish' of his V-day gift... Give him on the actual day. Even though we already said we will choose our gift on the next day but how can I do nothing on the actual day le~
His v-gift is a sun-glasses with classic frame shape+blue reflection 'cermin'. No photo taken because he put it in his car already.

Surprise V-day gift from him. Actually I was looking for waist bag which needed during our traveling where we bring Lucas along. So it is more convenient for me to carry my boy. We walked into 'Country Hide' shop which having 70% off.I have no intention to buy any, only because I saw a watch storage and stopped by have a look. Well, sale lady told me this bag is made by the leather which same as Prada bag and now have 70% off which from RM839 become RM251.70. Alfonso said he buy this for me as v-day gift. How can I say NO le~ hehe :)
