Sotong Boat - Gurney Drive ( U )

There I was in Gurney Drive. About to start on this yummy sotong bakar below

When all of a sudden .... whoooshhh......the wind came. "Lai liao lai liao !" the hawkers yelled as they looked in the direction of the roundabout

Things went helter skelter when the sky opened up.

My boat almost overturned, the filmsy sauces spilled blood red ketchups and bits of pounded peanuts onto the rickety plastic table.

Drat ! Had to sprint for cover.By the time I was in the car the sotong was limpish and not as crisp as when it would have been when it was hot. Damn it.

Chicken Nuggets - GSC Cinemas

Came here to watch Men In Black 3 tonight.

That was just the pretext.

This is the real reason why I chose this place over others.

Chicken Nuggets

Can't get enough of the hard, crunchy, puffed up crust.

Large size please.

We settle into our seats in the cinema hall .

Noom noom noom....until we realise that we've finished them even before the show has started.

A quick run outside for a second order, soon fixes that.

Happens that I was seated next to a girl with 3 kinds of odours. That kind of spoilt it for me.

Till it didn't matter if I thought Josh Brolin's acting was like kayu. Nor that Will Smith's timing seemed a little off.

Everytime she bent forward, she released the heat from the drawers she had soaked for 3 days before washing.

And when she lifted her right arm,every now and then, I smelt car freshener.

She also bought a box of popcorn with her.
I was ok with that.
It was when she opened her mouth to pop one in, that the right side of my body wilted from her garlic breath.

Maybe next time we should get Premier Class tickets.

Either that or she was really Boris the Animals sister in disguise.

( NH ) Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant - new look

It's been ages since I've been here. They've closed for renovations for so long, I've almost forgotten they even existed on this floor .

We followed the waitress into the area where the cushioned seats were.

Nando's Cataplana feast, Gurney Plaza ( PF )

Penangites have fallen hopelessly in love with this Portuguese chicken franchise from day one.

Us included.

 We want to try out their signature dish, served in this very cute but strange looking copper/brass like container.

( NH ) Euro Deli Biergarten, Penang

 

How wonderful it is, to be able to watch their progression as the years go by.  I've been a fan, from the time they first infiltrated our supermarkets to the exciting dining options they present to us today.

Take a look at this unbelievable All day long offer .

We don't need convincing since we know, just how smooth the dark Erdinger beer here is.

4 course meal at Song River Cafe - Gurney Drive ( NH )

If you are looking for a place where you can enjoy a fairly cheap chinese dinner in Gurney Drive, this is it.

All of the dishes you see below, from 2 different operators, cost less than $50..drinks,rice and roasted chicken wings included. Extremely filling, I tell you.

Song River Seafood is located at the back, on the right hand side of this bungalow.

Penang Otak-otak - Health benefits ( PF )

Out of state visitors rarely attempt the Otak-otak dish ,let alone consider it a treat.

Perhaps the name itself acts as a major turn off.

Directly translated from the Malay language it means "brain" and it doesn't help that the package opens up to look like utter mush.

The Penang version is markedly different in size,colour,shape and taste, from those found in the southern states and beyond.

Made from a paste of whisked eggs,coconut cream,small slices of freshly deboned fish,turmeric and herbs,till it reaches the consistency of a soft custard like brulee,before being skillfully cocooned in a banana leaf origami ,the yellow paste is steamed in parcels rather than flat grilled till red.

Portions are larger and fresh herbs such as,wild betel and kaffir lime leaves,are an indispensable part of the recipe.


 

When consumed on a regular basis it acts like an internal douche in helping to keep the female reproductive organs healthy,while easing flatulence and constipation.
Addition of the fresh turmeric helps tighten the vagina,which loosens with age or childbirth.No need for invasive surgery.
Just relish every spoonful.

To me,I like the ones sold in Lam Heng Cafe,based on the fact that it is hotter than usual till my eardrums feel they are about to burst.

Loke Sok Seafood,Public Cafe - Gurney Drive ( NH )

This restaurant is located along the famous Gurney Drive .

I have to mention that they are rather inconsistent and it can be quite frustrating as your favourites dishes today may be completely different next week or even non existent at all.

Yet,I always harbour a glimmer of hope, that perhaps on that day,the one dish that I want, WILL finally be on the menu.

As an example,I've never been able to try their stir fried siew yoke with chives flowers till today and only managed to enjoy their pak cham keh once.

We arrived with the intention to have white oyster mee.

No stock.Sigh.
