O Chean!!!

O Chean (oyster omelette) is Penang famous delicacy. Although you may get it in many places, but i would say the Penang's has it speciality. Erm, is it their oyster bigger and juicer? Erm... Maybe... I say special then special la, don't push me a!

Ok, this 2 stalls are famous, according to a blog that i read recently online (forgot who the blogger is, paise). The 1st shop is Seng Thor (成都) Coffee Shop at the junction of Carnarvon Road and Kimberly Street. Carnarvon road is also known as "coffin street" and the landmark of Kimberly Street is the biggest "colok" shop i never seen in other states, "Bee Chin Heong".



The next one will be "Bee San Coffee Shop" along Jalan Air Itam, near the "Chung Ling Secondary School" (also very near to Kek Lok Si and Bukit Bendera).



This 2 stalls are actually run by Brothers (Lim's brothers). Their oyster omelette is more to Malacca style, where they put "sambal" to fry along with the egg, but their oyster is far more bigger than Malacca's. Surprisingly their "tepung" (薯粉) are very less, unlike what we have at other stall, you can actually taste the lovely egg and oyster.



So, between this 2 stalls, whose better? I will say "Bee San" at Jalan Air Itam. Thumbs up! For your info, the O Chean stalls in "Seng Thor" start in the afternoon, while "Bee San" at night.

Dim Sum!!!

Ok, now everybody know our convocation is coming, 17 August 2008. It's a big day, your parents are coming, then you start to get panic. Erm, except Penangite.

Panic bout what? What? Are you kidding? Don't ask me such a silly question! Of course where should we bring our parents go to have Penang local famous food! Alright, i know many of you are now in overseas, or no longer in Penang, so for this few weeks, i will review some of the so-call famous "makan" place.

Our first destination, Dim Sum house in Jalan Anson. This place is famous because they have a wide variety of Dim Sum, and most importantly, they are cheap!



The place is damn damn crowded (i went on 10am Sunday). So bear in mind, be an early bird!



I had ordered 8 type of Dim Sum, just for 2 person. Ok, it's too much for 2 people, i just need to "dabao" some of them. Money spent, RM 19.20 nett.



As a conclusion, if your time is tide, you may not want to go Dim Sum House to have your breakfast. The reason is simple, the Dim Sum is average, Pekaka Dim Sum seems better than it.

The Ultimate Mega Mac

Despite i was running out of my money, as i haven't get my monthly pay, i had gone to Mc D to have my very first Mega Mac.

I was quite regret that i had missed out the chance to win a Mega Mac last time, where you just need chanting their stupid slogan within 4 sec and you will get a free 1. It sounds idiotic but you can save up RM 9.90, darn, who cares?

So i had ordered myself a Mega Mac, ala carte, RM 9.90.



With great hope of getting great taste, as great price comes with great food, i take my very first bite... hmmm...



Genius in this world always encounter their famous formula or sciences theory in their routine. So do I.

Mega Mac = Mega Sucks
Therefore, Mac = Sucks
Mac D = Sucks D

For the sake of the mankind, i hope the "D" means Donald, but not Dickinson (Dick). Or else, in future, when you want to invite someone for Mc D, you will have to say, hey bro, wanna go to Sucks Dxxx? My god...

Unexpected Lunch

There is a museum restaurant beside my company. i received a flyer from a Vietnamese during my lunch time. It called The Sire, sounds like it can fulfil all your DESIRE! They were having promotion, you just need to pay for the main course.

So, i went there with my colleague, as the term "museum restaurant" really stir up my curiosity, despite it might make my wallet suffered "internal bleeding".

I am really surprise with the restaurant... Its ID and conservation works really made me impressed!









This old house was previously owned by a Peranakan, tha's why it look like old houses in Malacca (Jonker Street).

The appetiser, a garlic loaf for each of us, and some vege seasoned with cheese powder.





Damn little! Anyway, i shouldn't complain as they are complimentary appetiser.

The curry chicken spaghetti. Taste "mama"..



The seafood spaghetti. An ordinary seafood with spaghetti. Need to put some pepper or it would be a bit tastless.



The cabonara spaghetti (mine). If you are cheese addicted, try this one.


Why all of us ordered spaghetti? It is simple, it is the cheapest main course in the restaurant! lol. Poor people like us can't afford fancy lunch.



Ice cream and coffee on the house. Good.



The spaghetti is always better than many fast food restaurant like Swesen, Pizzahut, etc. And the price is reasonable for dining in such calm and romantic environment.

By the time we finish our lunch, it was already 2pm. Darn, late for work!!!

For fancy version of The Sire, please visit to Lingzie's blog, which is far more better experience than mine.
