Rejuvenation at The Six

 After two consecutive weekends of gruelling events I willingly signed up for , my body finally threw the towel in on me . I went down 5 kilos within 3 days and boy was I worried . No I wasn't looking forward to such quick weight loss . I looked at my fingers and an almost skeletal frame was staring back at shocked me !

 Such sudden weight loss is a HUGE no no .

Time for nourishment . Time to put back some fat .

No chu char stall for the moment . I want something more pleasant to the eyes please . Thus we headed straight into The Six Cantonese Restaurant for dinner . 

Nursed this portion of Double Boiled superior ham soup with fish maw , mushrooms , and baby bok choy , like my life depended on it . Was good , not mind blowing great , but I'm here to reap the benefits .

Sticker by the side of the plate , shows the name of the Chef who made it .

Master Wilson it states there .

Nasi Dalca Briyani - Kampung Masjid

Nasi Dalca is uniquely Penang . It's not as famous amongst out of state visitors but it sure has a hungry hoard of local fans right here on the island .

Assam Pedas Premier - One Precinct

In the Bayan Lepas district alone , there are 2 Assam Pedas Premier outlets . One on the topfloor foodcourt inside Queensbay Mall and the other here in One Precinct .

Foong Yean - 6 course feast

Best to make a booking before you arrive , as even though the restaurant is not that large , yet this venue is extremely popular due to the remarkable prices and generous portions .

Without further ado , I'm gonna plunge right in and introduce you to the items we picked off the menu .

Take note that all these cost us just 200 ringgit , rice and Chinese tea included .

First up , Indonesian prawns .

Tried this at another place near Bukit Jambul ( they've since shifted to Lembah Permai area ) and I absolutely hated that . However , this is so heavenly , you'll want to suck the roe , inside of the heads and the shell dry of the divinely spicy curry sauce , I'm afraid I'll have to give this a 5 star for amazing freshness ( the meat is packed so tight ! ) and fabulous taste !

Waterfall under a flyover

 So glad I went for my spa session yesterday and really so thankful that the weather was just so beautiful for me to snap pics of 

because whaddaya know , it's been pouring the entire day today .

Anyway , we went ahead and carried on as usual despite the strong winds and all that .

As we were making our way towards the airport , past the Tun Dr Awang Roundabout , this " waterfall " appeared right under the flyover .

The water didn't go through the downpipe but instead it flowed out from the expansion joint .

Green Island Western ( PF )

1-world is an upcoming area filled with eateries and restaurants and this is my first foray into this charming little enclave .

Drove round twice, before deciding on this one as it seemed to be a crowd puller.

888 Hokkien Mee ( NH ) - Lorong Mahsuri 2, Bayan Lepas

The long line of cars parked illegally by the roadside show that they are open for business, ready to satiate your night fix for a steaming hot bowl of hearty Hokkien Mee.

 

Although they share the same name, the food here, in my opinion, tastes different from their original Sar Tiao Lor stall in Georgetown.

Four Seasons Tea Restaurant - Bayan Lepas (NH )

This restaurant remains a firm favourite, while their other branch in town has faltered .
However, don't expect much from their service crew and you'll emerge just fine.

Diners, while mostly casually attired, are here for the reasonably priced , good food.
Some of them act like its their own home, hoisting 2 feet up onto the chair as they dig into their favourite dishes.
You may have to close one eye, to not only that balkingly rude behaviour, but also to the beat up fixtures that have seen better days.

( U ) Satay Ah' Basri - Bayan Lepas

I have to say I was a bit apprehensive before stepping into this satay outlet.

From the outside it looked like a cafe but once inside it resembled a fast food outlet .

Oh oh.

On top of that, it was also clean, brightly lit,with sweet, well mannered staff....hmmm.... I was truly prepared for the worst.

( U ) Cargas Cafe - Killer Fried Chicken, Bayan Lepas

This is the most famous Nasi Kandar on this side of the island.

It's so famous that at anytime you arrive, this is what you will see.

( PF ) Joo Leong Cafe, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah

If you are on the way to the airport, and you come across a long row of cars parked on the side, with a hive of activity and people, from morning till night, it's got to be the one and only Joo Leong Cafe.

In business for over 50 years already, they are reknowned for Teochew seafood noodles and porridge cooked without monosodium glutamate.
