Dragon Nine Restaurant, another Hong Kong style restaurant which is located at Bellisa Row. The name of the restaurant got me assumed that it serves food as Kim Gary or Canton I, but to my surprise, it’s not. The menu consists very limited choices of dim sum but a variety of cantonese stir fried dishes.

Let’s go for malay food today! There are a few malay ikan bakar (grilled fish) restaurants located opposite the Police Marine Batu Uban. It’s just located at your right hand side not long after you exit from Penang Bridge. We were just lucky to pick this restaurant (Nurul Ikan Bakar Special). It’s located at almost at the end of row. We picked it because it has the most customer at the moment comparing to others.

Allie is back in action cos she’s being attacked by caffeine. 
This is a MUST read post for all coffee lovers! Don’t miss this or you’ll miss out something real GOOD!
My new favourite hang out place on Friday night: Full of Beans at Straits Quay. Full of Beans provides a very relaxing environment for you to enjoy a cup of your favourite coffee. I like that they provide sofas. The environment is cozy. Since it’s located at one end of the mall, it’s very peaceful. I can laze there all day long with a cup of coffee, some macarons and a book! It’s also a great place to have a few friends get together and gossips!

If recently anyone ask me, “Which place would you recommend for a romantic dinner?”, I’d definitely suggest The Sire Museum Restaurant. Are you getting any confuse; is it a museum or a restaurant? It’s both actually.
The Sire Museum Restaurant is previously the house of Yeap Chor Ee. His grandson ‘transformed’ his house into a museum based restaurant to commemorate Yeap Chor Ee’s birthday. The restaurant has a very cosy and romantic environment. The moment I entered this restaurant, I’ve fallen in luv with it. It was warmly lighted with soft music playing in the background.
As we were being seated at the inner part of the restaurant, I noticed that there is another hall which lead to the museum. The museum of peranakan (baba & nyonya). In the museum, there are a series of facts on how Mr. Yeap Chor Ee begin his career. It was very inspiring! There are a lot more things to be seen in the museum, guess you’ll enjoy it more if you find if out yourself then I describing it here. 
Birthday girl chose to have her birthday dinner at Manila Place, Gurney Plaza. Initially I suggested Chili’s hoping to give her a birthday surprise where the Chili’s Restaurant’s staff will sing her a birthday song and compliment her a birthday cake just like the Hard Rock Cafe Birthday Dinner.
But Birthday girl wanted to have light dinner and she prefer Manila Place. Well, birthday girl is the queen of the night right. So Manila Place it is.
Browsing thru the menu, I got attracted by the 100% fresh fruit juice with NO sugar added.
Birthday girl and me ordered Pineapple + guava + orange + lemon (if I remember correctly). It tasted sourish with minimal sweetness. So tasty yet healthy!
The carrot + lemon juice tasted weird Carrot taste does not blend with lemon.
Ki Xiang offers 2 types of bah kut teh; bah kut teh soup and dry bah kut teh. Dry bah kut teh is not very common or popular in Penang but is already common in KL. Another stall that is selling dry bah kut teh is at opposite Tesco Extra Penang.
My trip to Taiwan last month was a great one! We fly to Taipei with Air Asia and landed at Taoyuan Airport. It was on early Dec, therefore the weather is cooling (minimum temperature during our trip was 12 Deg C).
One of the food that make my family members screamed for is Yilan Spring Onion Pancake (Cong You Bing). Yilan is famous for cultivating spring onion, therefore you can imagine how fresh the spring onion can be.
Our driver recommended us this stall for the Cong You Bing; “San Xing“.
