QEII Restaurant

Fancy a beautiful restaurant with majestic sea view and nice food? Wanna have a romantic get-away with your loved ones? Well, consider this restaurant in Penang, QEII. It is located near the Penang Ferry terminal. The food? Western :)

Was there the other day with my friend, PY for dinner. You can choose to either sit outside enjoying the scenic view and the cool sea breeze.......

or inside with the romantic settings and air-cond. We sat outside enjoying our main course but decided to move inside when we had our dessert :) (It was getting darker by then). Ha ha, we have the best of both places coz there was not much people at that time so the waiter allowed us to change our table :).

Wanna share the view we see when we were outside? It was beautiful. There was a pier with boats and yatches. We can see Penang Ferry and a cruise ship (it happened to be there). And can see Butterworth mainland from here too........

Oh, isn't it breathtaking? :)..ha ha

And yes, you may be asking for this already. We went there for dinner, so where is the food? Here they are :

From left : The starter (free), herbal grilled chicken for my friend and pan-fried cod fish for me

And there is a lounge too. So, the next time you come to Penang and you are tired with the hawker's food, why not give this restaurant a try :)

Lok Yuen Restaurant

KonTse visited us last Sunday at my parents' home at BW. We took them to this famous chu char at Bukit Tengah (near the Bukit Tengah roundabout) named Lok Yuen Restaurant.

Well, there are 2 shops, with one that has 2 floors. If you go at dinner time, you will be sure to see that all the tables are mostly occupied. The waiter actually took your order using PDA :). Eventhough there were a lot of customers, our food was actually served in less than 15 minutes. That is also what I like about this shop, they are fast! Besides that, their price are known to be reasonable as well.

These are the dishes that we ordered that day.....

Curry Fish Head
Pork's Leg
Belacan Chicken
Claypot Taufu
In cantonese, this is called 'Ham Yu Fa Lam Pou'. Err...literally translates to Claypot Meat with salted fish.
This is for me :). Stir-fry potato leaves.

They have other signature dishes like sambal prawn etc etc. So, if you come to BW, do remember to try this :).
