Da Mi at Sungai Long... nice Taiwan food

The restaurent I am going to introduce seems pretty famous. I found some newspaper cutting in their store.

It is situated at the commercial center in Bandar Sungai Long, a half shop sharing with Sports Toto.

The environment was very peaceful. Lite music, soft decoration and very cheerful feeling. The food served was something special.

I had a crispy pork noodle soup. The soup was very "healthy" as it was with lots of vegetables.

This crispy pork chop taste as good as it looks.

Another dish we ate, the "ma lak" noodle soup. Basically it was the previous soup noodle added with very spicy chilli powder. Wow!

I had a plate of toufu as my side dish. Yummy!

Girls must like this pot of tea very much. It is rose milk tea. I kind of find it strange. I thought rose is for decoration, or gift to pretty girl. Not to be eaten?

My "cham" ice was as good and unique as the glass it looks.

Penang food... nice and cheap!

Everybody knows that Penang full of good food. Even when you simply sit on a road side store you probably might find surprises.

I used to travel to Penang quite often for work. Friends took me to some food which make me want it again and again. I wonder if you know these foods?

The first food that inspired me when I first enter Penang 5 years ago was this mamak restaurant call Hameed Soup. It is located at Penang Road, few blocks away from Cititel.

People sit along the corridors and soups served as you request.

This is my favourite soup, soup kambing. I heard this is the best in Penang. I never agreed. I thought it is the best in Malaysia!

*****

Gurney Drive serve various local specialty for tourist. I don't think the food there is the best in that island. But I can have almost everything there.

Pasembur. I thought it is just another variance of rojak?

Pasembur is rojak with deep fried seafood, sausage, meatballs, etc. I love fried sotong rojak.

Never miss my Penang laksa every time I touch the island.

*****

This stall locate just opposite of the ferry jetty, in Penang island. It opens in the evening. Simple stall, serving great tea.

When I look at that pot of boiling ginger soup I immediately realise what a perfect cup I will have that day.

This is the best teh halia I had ever have so far. And it is cheap!

Big Plate Restaurent at Subang Permai... Wow!

When I heard about Big Plate Restaurant, I thought it is just like Papa Chop & Mama Grill, cheap western food that serve cheap. Furthermore, my friend told me that the price is quite reasonable. This strengthen my perception that it is cheap and serve tonnes of food to value your stomach.

We face no difficult to reach Subang Permai. However, it took us a while to find the restaurant as the sign was not bright and big enough.

Simple interial decoration with very deem lights double confirmed my previous thought. But, I nearly dropped my eye when I saw the menu. The price was about 50% higher than PapaMama. I thought somebody must have recommended wrongly and I was planning to write a negative review.

Sometimes man makes decision too fast. Or maybe when we are expecting the worst while receiving good things, it end up we are much appreciated the results.

Food served was fantastic. Simple decoration, low cost environment and all other cost cutting contributed directly to the main focus, the food. Food served were well decorated, well presentation, and taste even better than some very high end restaurants. The main things is, those plates were huge, and they are full!

Good food in very large portion, Big Plate, ain't kidding.

Restaurant looks simple and hiding in remote place. Crowd come from words of mouth.

Mushroom soup served in XXL size bun. Enough for 2 persons.

Tomato soup was better than mushroom soup. Equally large.

My sis ordered a sandwich plate, thought to have a light meal. But look at those tuna and the bread and all those chips, I can't believe it cost us only RM7.

Grill ikan tenggiri, local fish cooked with western style. Well done for the cook to married both local and west. You got to eat it to know it.

Pasta also very yummy. The greens was different from the Ayam Shah Alam. This serve with kiwi and dragon fruits.

Grilled chicken (Ayam Shah Alam) came with half chicken plus well decorated salad. All nicely cook and I could not resists to finish it all.
