Ben's Restaurant@Sunway Tunas

Location: Sunway Tunas, Bayan Baru. (Not the one in Gurney Paragon ohh)

Date: 25 Dec 2012

Merry Christmas!!!

This year X'mas we did not plan to have any special or anything to celebrate. Maybe we are too tired... I'm tired on my work and pregnancy... hehe. Thus, we just went to the nearest restaurant which close to our working place to have a dinner.

This is just a simple and cozy restaurant. Family business I believe. We did not make any reservation because think that people will go to somewhere high class restaurant. Well, when I open the door... it almost full house. Luckily, the peoples from another table are going to leave.

The foods are taste good with reasonable price :)

Even thought we did not purposely go and celebrate this year Christmas but I won't forget to get him a Christmas present :)

Ceramic mug from Parkson. Initial plan is buying a watch storage box for him but it not yet delivered. Thus, just on the spot buy him a mug when we were shopping in 1st Avenue Mall :)

That Little Wine Bar Restaurant

Restaurant: That Little Wine Bar

Location: 54 Jalan Chow Thye, 10050 George Town, Penang

Date: 13 Dec 2012, Thursday

Our 3rd anniversary!!!

With our 1st BB... who still sleeping inside mummy's tummy :)

Ordered from my ex-colleague, Oritta Cakehouse. It is just a fruit sponge cake. Taste is light... suit me :)

This is the restaurant 'look'... I found it from food blogger website. Comment is not bad from them. That's why I decided go and try.

Waiting for our foods...

Wild mushroom soup RM28... saw it from food blogger. The taste... hmm.. not our cup of tea.

Mushroom quiche RM28... also saw few bloggers ordered this. The taste... hmm... ok-la~ small portion.

My order... homemade sausages RM32... again..small portion... but enough fill in to my stomach... Taste... so so.

His order... Rack of lamb RM48... menu of the day... looks good. But after eat some... he feel jelak already...

2013 New Year Menu...

If you ask me... will I come and visit this restaurant again? My answer is... NO!

  The taste of food is under our expectation... and some more the price is high if base on such quality and quantity of food. Don't fully trust what the food blogger comment :p

Sakana Sushi Bar & Cruisine

Location: 252, Jalan Penang Georgetown, 10000 Georgetown, Penang

This restaurant located near by the Polis Station at town, starting point of Campbell street, famous Cendol or same row of Eden restaurant... corner unit. You can see it at the Penang road (main road).

 

Surprisingly... Not much choices...

Sushi plate price from RM2 - RM6

Not much sushi selection...  maybe is weekday. Their 'hand roll' skill is not good as I can see. The taste is normal.

Spicy pepper squid... not bad... some sort like Taiwan famous salty chicken popcorn... portion is not big actually...

Chicken Ramen... the taste is very light. Note that the soup is not in teriyaki taste. The udon is a bit too soft and not so firm for me. I need to add in some chili power to light up my appetite. Rating: 2.5/5

Beef teriyaki set... the rice portion is not big... just good enough. The set meal is come with 1 scoop of ice-cream. Rating: 3/5

Overall, the food taste is not meet my expectation. Sakae Sushi franchise is better than this. The staff there mostly is young people.

GokuRaku Ramen@GurneyParagon

This Japanese restaurant has been operated for a while already. Today I just have a chance to try it out.

Not much choices from the menu. Their signature food is ramen I guess. 1st, choose soup type...2nd, choose your size (small, medium, large)... 3rd, choose your topping...

Standard seasoning...

Tonkotsu Ramen... I have choose original soup type + small size for myself...

The soup is 'thick'... and the ramen is not too soft... suit for me... Rating: 4/5

Tokyo Ramen... original soup + medium size for Alfonso...

The soup is 'clear' if compare to Tonkotsu original soup... His comment is "the taste is normal"... But I feel OK. Rating: 3/5

Gyoza... wanted to order another type of Gyoza which recommended by one of the food blogger. But that was not available. The waiter told me this one is similar to that Gyoza.

You only can see the entire Gyoza when you flip it. I feel that this is 'boiling' Gyoza, after that grill the bottom side of the Gyoza. The taste is BAD honestly. The Gyoza which selling in the CF food court (RM1 per pc) is much more better than this. Rating: 0/5

The drink only come after the ramen was served... and I need to remind the waiter... too bad.

Our bill... Overall the Ramen is not bad.. just not much variety...

Now they are having a lucky draw (I'm not sure it will last until when). If you got "congratulation" means you can have a free meal of your current dining. Plus, they also have a stamp collection system for every RM25.

My New Smart Phone-Note2

Date: 20 Nov 2012, Tues

Finally, I got my brand new Samsung smart phone Note 2 from Digi store@Queensbay Mall. I had been to Digi store twice yesterday,Monday during lunch time and after work. But go back home with empty hand.

One of the Digi staff who served me since yesterday, he automatically free me a protector screen which worth RM49 and help me to install it. Between, he also gave a RM49 discount on the original Samsung flip cover which normal price is RM199. Why he so nice? No no no, this is the way they show their apology on me about the yesterday incident. OK, I happy with it already.

My HTC Touch 2... I think I bought it in 2009. This cost me ~RM1500... even expensive than Note2... Of cause HTC is without sign up for any data plan or package with any phone operator. If I'm not mistsken, 1st time purchase a new handphone without any strong reason to replace the old one. My 1st hp was Nokia 8210. Sub-sale from my friend who found the phone left in public, RM250... I like it ->2nd was Motorola 1st color screen, E398. Kena water while having fun on kayaking -> 3rd was Samsung, SGH-E840. I believe I lost it in Tg. Tokong food court. I like this also... very slim. My cell phone "evolution"...

                      

His Asics Running Shoe

Date: 17 Nov 2012 (Saturday)

Today plan to buy a Samsung Note 2 which Alfonso promised to buy for me as pregnancy gift? anniversary gift? Whatever~ Went to Digi store@Queensbay Mall, due to I'm a Maxis user... need to switch the line to Digi, it needs to take ~2days only can the line can be activated. Well, I also cannot get the phone yet... no stock for white color (stock only available at afternoon... but not my turn yet). No choice, just do the necessary switch operator process first. Will back to collect the phone and pay the advanced credit on next 2 days.

Today only Samsung? No no no... Alfonso also has a purpose to come here. He got a 25% Asics discount voucher which got from 2012 Penang Bridge Marathon... so we just go and have a look. Normally, the Asics store not many people walk in... today... wow... a lot. Because tomorrow is Marathon day... a lot people from over state come and collect their goodies... of cause, discount voucher is on their hand now. Even thought we have 25% discount voucher, but those running shoes very expensive. Since we decided not to buy the Samsung Galaxy Camera which we buy it as our 3rd marriage anniversary gift (Last year was iPAD2), and now he will buy Samsung Note 2 for, I treat it as anniversary gift... then what should I buy for him? OK... Asics running shoe la~. Staff recommended few pairs of shoes for him which suit to his foot shape. Due to only few choices and sizes available, he choose this one. Sharp in color... look young! :D

25 Nov 2012, Sun... wearing his brand new running shoe to... TESCO! Haha!

My Pregnancy Portrait

Date: 11 Nov 2012, Sunday (P:ww31.1)
Location: Beach street@Georgetown, Penang & Summer Place@Jelutong, Penang

Thought to take a pregnancy photo by professional studio. This is a precious time for me. But Alfonso not really willing to take a picture with me. Only left me alone in the picture... what to do? Hmm... cincai la... ask him help me to take for me. Better than none... just for memory la  ^^

For outdoor picture... They are taken at Beach Street. Why Beach street? Because no car allowed in this street at every Sunday (til1pm). Wanted to take with those Wall Pictures, Botanical Garden and Fish Village... 1 day can't cover all and I lazy to do the makeup for next day. Hmm... Never mind la... As long as I have some pregnancy pictures before I cut my hair short :)
