蜀甄阁火锅 (Shu Zhen Ge Steamboat)

I didn't know since when I keep on have this craving for steamboat or lok lok. I used to be a regular customer at Pulau Tikus market hawker stalls lok lok where I would usually visit there 3 to 4 times a week.

I spotted this steamboat shop after 2 months it opened , so my mom and bro decided to give it a try. 

When I sat in the shop, I realized that I can has my own individual steamboat pot and NOT shared with others ! =D Me likey it that way! Not because I'm acting super hygienic by disliking the act to drink the same soup others had already used their spoon dip in with their saliva. It was because I don't like the fact that MSG from processed food will enter the soup after boiling them.

 The menu *click to enlarge*

 The good thing I like it about here is that you order what you want to eat and not by set as I usually don't eat processed food like fishballs and what ever balls. I like to eat real food for my steamboat, real as in like vege, meat slice, mushroom etc

 I ordered yin yang soup where I can choose 2 types of soup, Nourish Beauty Pot (left) and Tom Yam (right)

 Mon's choice of Kimchi soup. Not recommended as it does not goes well with steamboat.

 Bro's Searing Pot (malak soup,super spicy after it boils a while), recommended if you order a lot of meat dishes.The spiciness and aroma from chili's powder makes the meat flavorful . Good and also oily soup haha

 Best beef roll, beef roll and mutton roll. The best beef roll tasted like normal beef roll,nothing special.

Eating halfway *nom nom nom nom nom! Slurrppsss*

The thing I dislike about here is that you want sauce, you pay extra! They only provide you free red chili's ,minced garlic, sesame oil and soy sauce @@ We had the shacha sauce and it was pretty good. From the menu, you can see they also provide seafood juice and I didnt ordered that because it sounds funny and weird to me haha seafood juice! 

REVISITED here again for supper. This time I had Nourish Nutrition Pot (left) and Fat Bear had Nourish Seafood Pot(right),the seafood one has scallop and shrimp.I prefer Beauty Pot than Nutrition Pot. 

The chicken slice and pork roll that we ordered suits me well ! No fatty parts!

Location :No. 163-A, Lebuh Melaka,Penang, 10400 (same row and near Yoyo KTV)

Tel : 016-484 4048

Open from 5 pm till 4 am (not sure when is the off day)

Air-conditioned shop (hardly sweat)

Good place to fix your steamboat craving ! Not to pricey and the auntie here is very friendly and serves us well in my first and second visit. The problem is the parking , very very limited space as the shop is opened at residential area.

乜都撈 La Gourmet Desserts

I have been wanted to be here ever since I know such place that serves huge size of shaved ice are available. My first time in Johor , I did not get to visit here due to my exam is on the next day before we leave JB for Penang so no time,gone my dessert!

After 1/2 year passed, I visit JB again and this time I insist I die die also must visit here if not imma die in frowning whole day hahaha

Before we had our dessert , we settle our lunch there too. I ordered this for my lunch ,it may look normal in size in photo but in reality it's not! I forced myself to finish the dory fish *bloated! should have ordered chicken because the chicken is smaller but fish comes in 2 pieces and I don't really like to eat dory fish.

After meal, here comes our desserts!

The height of this yummylicious dessert is about 30 cm. The strawberry were huge and also sour! -.- It came along with a bowl of pearl and we found out the bottom of the shaved ice has pearls and mini sago too*pearls overload but not bouncy. 

The dessert itself is sweet enough as the condensed milk are melted to the bottom. If you prefer it to be sweeter, you can increase ur sugar level in your blood too and get diabetic as they do provide you condensed milk, gula melaka and brown sugar that comes in bottles.

 The another side of the shaved ice ☃

 

While we were happily digging in our shaved ice, a huge Mango Ice Mountain which is crazily high were order by the group of family members sitting next to our table.

 What's so special about it was the height and only mango fruits and nothing else except pearls in the middle of the ice which is the reason why I did not order this.Not worth it as both signature ice is about the same price.You want more ice,I give you less fruits. You want more fruits, I give you less ice LOL Of course more fruits and less ice more worth it la,well ice is just frozen water ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was thinking, by the time the 5 of us eating this halfway the ice would have already melted. The uncle who ordered this was kind enough as he saw me struggling to take photo of their ice from my table. He welcomed me with a smile to approach his table to take photo *paiseh!

Sunnyside Up Restaurant

Sunnyside Up restaurant were open last year , around 4rd quarter of the year replacing Figo's restaurant. The first time I dine in there was for dinner , I remember I ordered Pork Gordon Blue and FatBear ordered BBQ Soft Ribs (RM 15) and they had me waiting for an hour even FatBear has already finish eating his.

 We had late dinner , we reach there around 9 pm so you do understand how I feel at that moment,hungry and waiting foolishly . In return, I was given a complementary of 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream :)

Since the price of the food is reasonable so we decided to give it a visit again for our lunch .

Forgot the name of this salad.The dressing used was pomegranate and some herds. RM5 and not really worth it. The triangle thingy was actually some pastry crust and I dont like it

Opssie for the not-so-appealing photo , as I forgot to capture and has already slurps in

Followed by Pumpkin soup served with diner roll and butter.RM 3 if not mistaken as the menu did not mention about the price.The taste was well so-so as the pumpkin taste does not really stands out, couldn't really taste any pumpkin @@

 Main course has arrived !!! Roasted Pork Knuckles (for 2 pax). The meat is tender which I like but sadly the skin is not crispy at all, Y is it not crispy since it is roasted?? The gravy sauce that came along ermm has nothing to shout about. The mashed potato was made in instant, and found out that salad served is actually the same salad that I ordered earlier. This cost RM 39 (around there)

We're both so full at the end ! I will most probably visit here again for the set lunch .

Address : 3 , Jalan Sungai Kelian Tanjung Bungah, Penang 11200 (near Domino's and Esso)

Fat Bear birthday

Spend our 2012 christmas eve in Nicole house before heading to sixty9 mansion.They are exchanging gifts in nicole's house,BBQ and thai food there! 

 I got a bar of chocolate in exchange of my lion plushie gift.Luckily it has almonds! Me lovess hehe

 

Fat Bear's birthday falls on the 26th! The day after christmas,he came out a little too late,if not it would be awesome to celebrate his bday on christmas.

 Fatty coursemates secretly give him a surprise cake 3 days earlier before his actual birthday at his friend's house in Parit Buntar(I was starving all the way to their house,so far! and lost! and hungry!) well I did not even know what they were doing until I reach there then I was informed by fatty friend about what's they were planning to do.

Food not even ready or cooked when we reach,so here comes Fat Bear usual task to set up the fire and yeahh BBQ on the floor!! yea on the floor

Bear's silly face

1 friend plays birthday song on piano,a few of them walk from the kitchen to the compound with cakes while my job was to avoid him from entering the house as they were bringing the cake out and tadahhh LOL nothing suprising actually haha

-------

Before FatBear actual birthday , the decision to bake a cake or not to bake is still _____a YES/NO.
As baking cake for him had me planning and thinking and wondering and procrastinate on whether should I /not bake fatty a cake for weeks !

If I don't bake him one, no big deal as fatty shares the same bday with his uncle Richard and I know they for sure! 100% confirmed they WILL buy cake for this 2 guys who stays under the same roof.

Another things that mah fan me to bake or not was also this,so near until cannot be near anymore, so bo akai a bit my college set my final examination date 4 days after christmas, which is 3 days after fatty birthday, enough time to study or not ? after cut down the time not studying and wasted for christmas. Due to this exam, which explain why in previous post why I spend my whole new year eve night studying in Genting hotel room instead of sleeping syiok syiok in syiok wheather like a pig

YesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoyesnoYESNO?? So fan leh! End up,I did made him a cake, 4 level high cake! surrounded by delicious moist chocolate cupcakes topped with peanut butter frosting(got mini cupcakes also), are you hungry now ?

Since it was 2 person bday, my cake cannot be simple abo my cake paiseh and no face to face people LOL

FatBeat(left) , Uncle Richard (right)

We had dinner with his family in Sunshine Bay Seafood Restaurant and my cake moved from here and there like homeless cake.From my house to fatty house( found out everyone already left house for sunshine bay),so from fatty house to restaurant.Then after blowing the candles and all after dinner.Homeless cake moved from there to fatty house again then only pity homeless cake can be eaten. After the candle was blown, kids all were rushing to stuff in as much gummy from the cake as possible in there mouth...gummy were all gone in seconds!!!!!!!!

My prediction was 100% accurate. They bought cake for them. White is uncle's cake and Black is Sean's cake.

After feeling so full from dinner , we ate 3 cakes at home. EAT AGAIN !

See my CAKE!When I mention about cannot be simple , I mean the rainbow cake .Description of my cake ;

1. The highest level is from the mini cupcakes
2. Then I use the normal size chocolate cupcakes
3. Third is Moist Chocolate cake filled with peanut butter filling and chocolate ganache
4. BASE! Rainbow cake filled with peanut butter filling alternate with strawberry jam ,layer by layer
5. Surrounded by normal and mini size chocolate cupcakes frost with peanut butter cream and top with chocolate chips! 

Hello Rainbow cake! Nice or not !? Haven't eat also feel happy already looking at the multilevel rainbow cake =D

Happy birthday annoying fatty! Love you more than I love my rainbow cake kay XD

That's how I end 2012

I remember I end the year 2011, having BBQ at bf's house and was still in the middle of having my college final examination. Well , I spend my new year the same way as it is like the year before...with the same shit which is stuck in examination duration but different venue,not at bf's house but counting down to the new year on top of the hill,Genting  ;)

Grab a quart of Baskin Robbins from R&R on our way to Genting since it's *sing* BASKIN ROBBINS THIRTY ONE. Upon opening this heaven,I couldn't find any spoon in the bag. BR dude didn't put it in for us,how dumb

Luckily I did bring along my reusable spoon and chopsticks ! or else I think I might be licking them from the tub hahaha eww . The first time I ate ice cream using chopsticks,the so called chinese version of eating ice cream.

 Had late dinner at around 10 PM after checking in our hotel rooms and wait and wait and walk and look around and walk just to kill time while waiting for the countdown fireworks.

 It started to drizzle while I was waiting for the fireworks and thus explain why my sweater is placed on top of my head like the red black riding hood LOL

Happy 2013 ! So far I havent set any new year resolution yet ermm dont think gonna set any ,most probably gonna end up in failure I can foresee

With Sean

Fruit cocktail fresh cream cake

After countdown, celebrate Denessa birthday time! Turning 15 this year!

Vain in hotel room while studying

Well, after celebrating Denessa birthday....celebration still goes on,in hotel room having wild party. Instead of having a good night sleep, I was having a good night staying awake till 8am studying for Marketing Research paper while looking at Sean sleeping so soundly like a gigantic baby =X

study study study

I was so so sleepy that night as on the day I went there,I was sitting for Law paper in the morning and didn't sleep the whole night studying law.Same goes to that night in the hotel room didnt sleep the whole night studying marketing research. Wanted to switch off the light and sleep so badly but I couldn't do it ._. as i'm sitting for MR paper in the morning the next day =S

 Bought myself a container of popcorn to snack while studying to avoid myself from falling asleep.Even after drinking coffee and eating popcorn, I still feel so tired and sleepy due to staying awake the whole night the previous day

Even I found myself falling asleep for a few seconds while eating popcorn.It happened a few times.I was eating while I was sleeping ,instead of getting sleep-walking , i'm sleep-eating hehe

while waiting for shuttle bas

Slept at 8am , Sean woke me up at 10am to meet his family and friends for lunch. It's amazing i'm able to wake up and walk not like zombie

The weather was so-so when we were there,the temperature was just like in my room? When we are about to leave Genting in the evening, then the weather that I want was there, dafuq the weather so nice when we're about to leave ._.
