Azuma Japanese Restaurant @ Queensbay Mall

Went for lunch at Queensbay Mall today. Belanja my mum and sis eat. Decided to go Azuma since we've never actually been there before. Heard from my aunt that the food there was pretty good so decided to give it a try.

Reach Queensbay about 11.30am then went straight to the restaurant. The food was pretty good and so was the service. We ordered lots of things. Among them was my mum' s favourite, the Dobi Mushi which is the Japanese teapot soup. Well I'm lazy to list down all the food that we ordered here so why don't you just take a look at the photos below and start salivating. Oh yea, we were even given free desserts. Ice cream with mango syrup. Compliments of Azuma Japanese Restaurant. Cheers!!

Chilli's Grill & Bar Restaurant @ Gurney Plaza

Went to Chilli's Grill & Bar Restaurant at Gurney Plaza on Thursday(18/2). This was only my second time going there. Went there about 6.15pm and there was already a waiting list of about 5 families... Wow... They seem to be really popular. More and more people began to show up and I was so relieved that I came earlier. Finally got our table at around 6.40pm. The wait was considered good already as some of the latecomers were made to wait almost an hour before getting their table. One thing I do admire about the people working there is that regardless of who you are, you still ahve to wait your turn. There are no special treatment.

Well on with the food. My family ordered a few things to be shared. Among them were the Classic Nachos, Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crisper, Southwestern Jalapeno Steak Quesadillas and the Bowl of Chilli.

I especially enjoyed the chicken crisper and quesadillas. The chilli was also pretty good.

Canton-i

This morn went kayu for breakfast. Then after that went some no-so-close relatives house to visit. Turned out to be quite a nice visit as their house was air-conditioned and they had a labrador retriever that I spent most of the time playing with. Lol..... Has anyone noticed how hot Penang has been during this CNY period? The heat wave is giving me frightful headaches...

Anyway went for lunch at Queensbay. Was suppose to go Dragon-i but ended up in Canton-i. Less people. Had the beef koay teow while mum had the Szechuan seafood noodles. Sis had the fried XO yamcake while aunt had roasted duck and roast pork with porridge. Picture time!! Oh yea one really interesting thing was the flower tea that my sis ordered. It looks so pretty and when the cup is filled with water, the flower will float to the surface. Really something unique..

Happy Belated Birthday to Mr Foo

We all surprised Yonn Weih on his bday this year. As usual we maintained our tradition of having odd birthday cakes for birthdays. This time it was a Hot Dog King bought from Relau, his favourite. Marcus and Alan went to buy it while the rest of us were studying at INTI.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to get him a substitute birthday present which happened to be an Xperia 1(display set only la....haha..what you expect.We ain't that rich). His real birthday present would be delivered to him later.

Anyway, Happy birthday again dude!!

Reunion Dinner

Reunion dinner with the family was a quiet occasion as usual. Went to my aunts house for steamboat. Didn't really eat much cause I had a really heavy lunch and was feeling pretty tired actually.

Second Visit To Spring Chamber Restaurant

After 2 weeks of intense stress with 4 test, finally it was time for a well deserved break. Chinese New Year is tomorrow.

Day started off with me waking up late... Feels so nice not having to wake up early in the morning. Went to fetch aunt from Copthorne Hotel and headed to Spring Chamber Restaurant. Second time going there. This time I took a few pics of the surrounding as well. Nice quiet place to have your meal if you ask me. Price is very reasonable as well.

The entrance

Interior decor of the restaurant...very cosy

Unique water feature

The courtyard

There's even a lounge where you can have coffee and snacks!!

Starter....Cream of pumpkin soup

Mum had the Thai glass noodles with calamari

Main course... Butter fish with tom yam cream sauce...Very very nice!!

And for dessert... Marble cheesecake!

After lunch, we dropped by at Gurney cause mum and aunt wanted to shop around. They bought stuff while I didn't. Sadly. But at least I got to eat to eat gelato at Gelatissimo. Very nice. A must try if you ever had the chance. I had the "Biscottino" and "Macadamia and Caramel" flavour.
