Ben's at Gurney Paragon

Introducing Ben's Kitchen, Penang managed under The Big Group also known as Ben's Independent Group

A long awaited visit finally come to pass in one of the birthday celebration we had a few months ago.  Overdue post, I know! Better late than never.

Here it is, Ben's located at Gurney Paragon which is next to G Hotel. Here's some pictures of the ambience and all taken using Samsung Note 2 •

One of the tortilla dish and sadly the content was not too fresh and the supervisor was kind enough to replace it with Deconstructed Thai Beef Salad which was very appetizing indeed. Thanks for the recommendation, Derrick.

Deconstructed Thai Beef  Salad - Rm26.90

We all love the Pad Thai Linguine, the chili was an incredible mix that made it sweet and spicy. Highly recommended.

We also had Pie Wagyu Beef as well as Pie Moroccan Lamb however in my opinion, once you had a taste of  Pie Wagyu Beef, there is no point having the Moroccan Lamb.

Here comes our dessert, Choc Truffle Torte with a glass of milk. A lovely combination, literally craving for this as I blog.

They have table card games, question cards to be exact like the one below- for conversation starters and its great having those around for some interesting topics to get to know your friends.

The servers were very patient with our antics and demands, therefore they were given a good report. It's nice of us, isn't it?

There's a wide variety of food and drinks, but to quote my friend Celyn's recommendation, 

"The soft shell crab tortilla is so yum
The duck confit spaghetti
The carbonara
The pesto spaghetti
The lamb n steak both yumm
Ohh wagyu beef pie goooood
And for desserts ,gosh even I haven't tasted albut the macadamia cheesecake sundae is the bomb
Chocolate cake though a classic is soooooo good
Berry pavlova I love
N the rocky road"

Thanks!

Nextstop at Sunway Carnival

When you are looking for fast food, we usually think of McDonalds or KFC at the shopping mall, but now that I have been introduced to Next Stop, its definitely one to be thought of the next time I need get a quick good bite. Thats not all, it's also a place for family get together and as I observed, a hang out place for the teens too. Next Stop food chains are basically seafood themed. It was operating not more than 2 years ago and the first outlet was at Sunway Carnival Mall. We decided to take a road trip over the sea under the invitation of Golden Fresh Company.  Mr. Lee, the operating manager was kind enough to serve us that day. Giving us an overview of the company and its concept, we were also inquisitively asking Mr. Lee on other food preparation details which he was very open to share.

Burger fish was very tasty, crisp at the sides. 

 The traditional fish and chips were good, I enjoyed it. The fish and chips are served with tartar sauce and fresh tasty coleslaw. Fish sandwich was surprisingly good, as the usual fish burgers I eat did not quite suit me. The other alternative to fish and chips would be the crumb fish burrito. As its just as good. Cheesy stix is a great snack on the go. They used cheddar cheese ,oozing out as you bite. Cheddar cheese is always nice. All the fish served at Next Stop is either yellow tail snappers or Alaskan Pollock Fish.

 My friend liked the salt and pepper squid very much, I'm generally not a fan of squids so I can't say much. But I bet lots of kids will love it though.

Its surprising they served Tom Yam soup here nevertheless it's pretty good with the seafood contents. The spiciness of Tom Yam was just right for me though serving it with dinner roll(bun)didn't seem to jive nicely for me. Seafood chowder served with dinner roll was more of the popular choice among us.

Another dish that came was Creamy Mushroom Seafood Spaghetti and it was served with crunchy prawn twist. I thought the prawn twist was a nice touch to the spaghetti dish.

 Desserts time! All the way from South Africa, Mango-Orange Sorbet and Pina Colada Sorbet.Don't be surprise if it comes in different size packs and its simply because the sorbet is in the real fruit itself. :) 

Try it,its superb!
