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.

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.

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.

Jumbo Delicious at Sungai Ara, Penang

JUMBO here we come! Been here a few times before when it first opened but here is the first time blogging about it. It seems pretty happening during dinnertime but we were blessed with one table left for us who were famished. My camera was left at home but thanks to JL again for the photos!:)
We made our orders, the servers were polite so far and customer centred, excellent!Ordered a jug of orange juice and it fills the most 4 glasses.

Orange Juice - RM 4.90 per jug
These garlic buns were hot! One of our favourite and it comes with the meals ordered and a small plate of salad. Look at her... she loves the buns and actually ask for more.




It was just after badminton so I did not want to waste the calories lost during the game so I ordered Caesar Salad. It has a bit of strips of chicken and basically veg with sprinkled cheese.
Chicken Caesar Salad - RM 7.90
The lamb was huge, I know I would need to be starving to eat the whole plate of it. With the sauce and mint, it tasted really good. Love the snow peas, perfect veg combination for me.
Grilled Lamb Loin - RM 18.90
Next came seabass and the sauce is so attractive by taste, it makes you want more of it. And you will probably wish there was more seabass to go with it. I am not sure what you called those sticks around it but it's nice to munch on than the usual fries.
Pan Grilled Seabass - RM 16.90

Do you like cornflakes? If you say yes, then try the cornflakes chicken, it is delicious. It comes with potato wedges as well as the snow peas and carrots.
Jumbo Cornflakes Chicken - RM 12.90

Last but not least, let me welcome the owners of Jumbo to the blog. We had the priviledge of meeting a bubbly group of people.
What's great is that no taxes charged. How cool is that? 
Many thanks to Jumbo management for the complimentary ice kacang with ice cream. It was supreme! A place I would dine in when I'm around the area.
