Eastern Garden Restaurant, KL

                   Eastern Garden Restaurant specializes on Chinese cuisine and does not serve food with MSG. Miss Tan, one of the proprietor and chef is fastidious when it comes to preparation of the food and seeks to prepare healthy, tasty dishes. If you are use to the taste of MSG in your food, then it will take awhile to acquire a taste you might deem lesser but it is actually the opposite. Everything will taste as it is without the mask of MSG. 

                 Occasionally they have dishes that are not mentioned in the menu and one of that dish that we had was Dragon Fruit chicken. Instead of the usual orange, mango sauce we usually have else where, dragon fruit was definitely my first and it was really good with the chicken. My other fancy is the homemade beancurd with pumpkin sauce. 

                Even though my trip to KL was a bit tight, was glad to be able to drop in a friends restaurant. Thankfully it wasn't too far off from where I stay. And having a friend who is good with driving around KL was a blessing.

                       There are ample parking spaces along the road and they are open for lunch and dinner.

                       For more information, details are at the end of the post.

Kim Hee Chinese Restaurant, Prai, Penang

A drive to Prai for a church meeting would definitely be accompanied by dinner and an opportune time to try a place I have never been. Like my blog motto says, " she don't seek them out, it's part of her lifestyle", truly it is as it is. So here we are at Kim Hee Chinese Restaurant taken by one of the church member, Lai Khoon from Peniel Church. 

Here is the setting as we walk in and obviously it's a place where wedding functions are held in this area. A typical nice layout of the tables and stage area. 

Here's their information right on the napkin.

I practically drenched my small portion of rice with this curry as it was so appetizing. Love it!

Claypot Curry Fish

Nothing can go wrong with asparagus and it's fresh and nice.

Asparagus

We were eating healthy dishes that night, steamed and good choice of protein and carbs yet as simple as it is, it was also very tasty and we finished with some complimentary fruits. We were stuffed! In a good way.

Hot plate Tofu

Steamed Egg Dish

A good place to try if you are in Prai, a great place for company functions and so on and the prices are reasonable and food is commendable.

Yummy Cuisine Sg Ara [ Invited Review ]

This is a place you would like to return often to when you are at that area in Bayan Lepas.  First of all, the food is great and fast. I have been there a number of times however this time the proprietor May invited some of us to taste some of her best selections. I did a post on my last quickie meal at Yummy - yummy-cuisine-sungai-ara-penang, some of what i like as well especially the belacan chicken.

We had lots of laughs and even made new friends with the next table and of course our individual taste comments were one of our main topics over the lunch table. We already had lots of food in the morning yet this lunch could still spur us on so my write up is based on all the talks we had that day.

The entry to Yummy Cuisine. It is just a road away from KFC.

Bamboo prawns is delicious beyond compare. Fresh big prawns covered with its gravy that just speaks of alluring Malaysian taste yet not too spicy for the spicy stricken people. I have also tasted their butter prawns last year and it was very appetizing as well. Oh yes, so is the assam prawns and like I said I have been here a number of occasions.

Bamboo Prawns ( Tekong Haei - Hokkien translation)

Here we have Kuchai Pia and I think in English the vegetable is a sort of chives based on my google research. This is something different and with its crisps, you can just dip into the chili sauce and eat it on its own.

Another deep fried dish tofu , soft on the inside, which also goes well with chili sauce. 

Chiau Pai Tau Fu

Now here comes the fishes, this nyonya fish has a unique taste of different spices and with its tinge of sourness, the whole combination was superb. Love it! And May said it is called 'Ikan Senangin' in malay.

Nyonya Fish

This Tippan fish is spicier than the Nyonya fish and its crispy sides are nice to chew on and I love that they included one of my favourite vegetable- 'kacang botol' in English it is called winged bean which i read it is good for reducing high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The whole dish just whets my appetite.

Then we had the pork dish and though it looks dry but the meat is tender and nice. Goes well with all the fishes. One of my friend enjoyed this very much, and it is something she used to eat during her growing up years.

Yummy Cuisine, Sungai Ara, Penang

This was a quick lunch after an early morning outing and dropping a friend off at the airport. We were being indecisive about lunch places so we decided to drop in Yummy Cuisine after awhile. I have been there a few times but it's been awhile since my last visit. It's interesting that they do not have a menu presented to you but I suppose who needs it when the lady boss can recommend pretty good stuff according to your liking. So this is what we had, simple scrumptious glorious food. Love all to bits. 

Prices are quite reasonable, some might be a bit wee high but it is not uncommon. Free Wifi is provided and I observed that alot of working people comes for lunch here. They served all types of rice sets and mee so I believe it is convenient for some working people. 

The place is cosy and cooling though there are no air conditions but with sufficient strong fans thank goodness. Try it if you are around the area and want some chinese dishes. Map provided below.

My Home Style, Tanjung Bungah, Penang

My Home Style Restaurant was opened this year and this was my first time. Situated at a quiet residential area opposite a field, this was not easy to find unless you know Tanjung Bungah well. This area is quite new to me though I have cycled most parts of Tanjung Bungah  during my childhood days. Fret not, I have the map for you right at the bottom.

My sister has been there for three times already so I was thinking the food must be good. So she went ahead with the orders quickly and what i fancy about this place is the arrival time of the food was ideal. After a few chats and before you know it, they are laid out before you.

Wheatgrass Honey  (I love it)

Chicken dish (Pek Cham Ke)

Siakap fish curry- oooh..the taste and the thickness of the gravy was just right.

Bitter Gourd with Egg - I do not particularly like bitter gourd but I kind of like this.The blend of the bitter gourd,eggs and its sauce makes me forget I am eating bitter gourd.:)

French beans with dried shrimps

   Another dish to try is Zeng Kong Pork, it was a tasty dish unfortunately the picture was lost in motion, I can't express how disappointed I am.

Our total bill came up to around RM120 inclusive of drinks and rice. They have 3 categories which is small, medium and large with their prices accordingly. The receipt was not itemized and we were in a hurry to go off that I was not able to confirm the names of these dishes. Coincidentally my sister has no recollection either. Overall,the pricing is reasonable and the taste is good. No air-conditioning but its comfortable.
