December 2, 2016 Enqvist Leave a comment

Gurney Paragon extend their food court to even bigger and more vendor, with that said, more food variety are now available at one of the best food court in Penang mall. Great variety of hawker food can be found here such as Laksa, Lobak, Chicken Rice…etc, other than that Korean Food, Japanese Food, Mediterranean Food, Chinese Food, Thai Food…etc all available here.

Appetizer such as Cup type Jiu Hu Char that has crispy cup that hold stir fried vegetable with dried squid, the cup itself is edible and it taste real good.

Another appetizer is Popiah, deep fried to crispy skin and dipping with chili sauce is the best.

Roasted pork that is juicy with crispy skin, it has the right level of saltiness and best to eat together with Char Koay Teow.

Yummy Yummy Char Koay Teow, Penang signature hawker food that should not miss. Normally food court Char Koay Teow taste just normal but the one found here are pretty good, i won’t say the best but it is a decent one.

If Char Koay Teow is not enough then get a bowl of Laksa, sour and spicy soup noodle is a must to try in Penang. It is very appetizing and delicious. Continue reading Gurney Paragon Food Court Just Food →

Tori Tori Yakitori at Gurney Plaza

December 23, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

We all love Yakitori but why? Well, Yakitori is a simple yet delicious dish especially the sweet sauce that make the ingredients taste sweet and flavorful. It is also very convenient where you can eat almost anywhere, anytime. Tori Tori located at basement of Gurney Plaza, offering wide range of Yakitori ranging from Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Vegetable, Mushroom, Salmon…etc. A stick of Yakitori starting from RM2.50 to RM7 only or set meal starting from just RM11.90.

Good News! On 26th December 2015 Saturday 1PM onward you can get a complete meal for just RM1. Yes RM1 ONLY!
This is really awesome, for just RM1 you get either Set A – Chicken Thigh + Chicken Skin + Salmon or Set B – Chicken Thigh + Unagi. Again, just RM1 each. *Limited to 100 sets only, 1 Set per person per order.

Yakitori are grilled on the spot to ensure freshness, they will grilled again once order taken to ensure food served hot. The kitchen is clean and transparent where you can see them prepare your delicious food.

If the set meal doesn’t have the combination you want then you may choose to have any 4 sticks with add on RM1.99 for Japanese Rice and free green tea. We have tested so many different ingredients of Yakitori and overall satisfied with the freshness and flavor. We love the sweet sauce that was dip multiple time during barbeque, it make the ingredient to fully absorb the sauce flavor. Chicken Thigh are nicely cook to flavor and maintain the soft and smooth texture, it is extremely flavorful especially with the add on of pepper that add on crunchy texture to it. Japanese rice portion are pretty big as well, one complete bento is good enough to fill a big eater like myself.

Set C – Chicken Thigh + Chicken Thigh with Pepper + Sweet Corn + King Oyster Mushroom served with Japanese Rice and Green Tea.

Set D – Beef + Beef Sausage + Shitake Mushroom + Chicken Thigh with Pepper served with Japanese Rice and Green Tea.

Set E – Lamb + Lamb Sausage + Shitake Mushroom + Chicken Thigh with Pepper served with Japanese Rice and Green Tea.

Set F – Unagi + Chicken Thigh with Pepper + Squid + King Oyster Mushroom served with Japanese Rice and Green Tea.

Shitake Mushroom RM3, Chicken Thigh RM3.90, Salmon RM4.90, King Oyster Mushroom RM3. Mushroom are surprisingly good, initially we though that mushroom might not be good at absorbing the sweet sauce but we are wrong, they are nicely cook to flavor and it is very juicy as well.

Chicken Thigh with Pepper RM4.20

Salmon RM4.90,

Since there is not much seating area hence take away is the best alternative but don’t worry as they have a proper box with utensil for you to take away. It is so convenient.

Viva Italiano Buffet Promotion at Garden Cafe Golden Sands Resort Hotel Penang

September 7, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

We visited Sigi’s Bar & Grill On The Beach Restaurant few months back and now return for Italiano Buffet at Garden Cafe. There is an ongoing promotion for Italian Cuisine Buffet Promotion until end of October 2015, priced at RM78nett for adult and RM39nett for child. Compare to other hotel buffet, seem like Golden Sands has one of the very best pricing for buffet in Hotel.

Garden Cafe located next to Hotel lobby, it is an open air restaurant surrounded by trees and open spaces. Nice table arrangement with huge spaces in between, comfort chair with clean utensils. Although it is an open air restaurant but no mosquito was notice throughout our dining time.

Over to the first counter nearby to entrance is Appetizer and Salad Bar, assorted fresh vegetable with great variety of dressing available. Cold dishes such as Caprese Salad, Poached Half Shell Mussel, Grilled Trio Color Pepper with Drizzle Pesto, Cold Cut Ham, Marinated Tomato…etc.

Assorted dressing for baguette such as Olive, Tomato, Jalapeno Pepper, Onion Rings…etc.

Next to Salad bar is Soup Counter where two type of soup Minestrone Casalinga and Crème de Pomodoro. Minestrone Casalinga taste very close to “loh song tong (罗宋汤）” sour, sweet with a little bit of sweetness. It is my favorite soup, very appetizing.

Freshly Baked Bread and Grissini with Salted together with butter and margarine. Tested Grissini which taste pretty much like cheese stick which is crunchy with a little bit salted taste.

Deep Fried Squid and Prawn are found next to Soup station.

A big chunk of Roasted Beef with Caramelize Onion Brown Sauce next, it is nicely marinated and roasted to perfection. Beef still pinky as it cut and extremely flavorful and soft, it is not chewy at all. Adding on Caramelize Onion Brown Sauce making it taste even better.

Over to Hot Dishes counter, there is loaded of dishes ready to fill our stomach. Risi e Bisi, Pasticio, Milanese Style Osso Bocco, Baked Pesto Chicken, Pan Fried Fish with Dill Cream Sauce, Potatoes Gnocchi with Green Peas served with Cream Sauce, Grilled Lamb Cutlet with Thyme Garlic Gravy, Sautéed Broccoli and Carrot and Grilled Prawn with Parmigiana Paprika Cream Sauce.

Italian Cuisine must have Pasta and there is whole lot of Pasta available for selection (Penne, Spaghetti, Fusilli) with different sauces such as Carbonara, Bolognese, Marinara and Napolitana.

Fresh Fruits available such as Watermelon, Honey Dew, Papaya, Pineapple and hidden fruits such as Mango, Apple, Orange…etc. Why i call it hidden? just because you need to peel yourself, it is not really hide under the table. LOL!

While on dessert counter there is lot of whole cake available, to name a few such as Apple Pie, Cherry Cake, Panna Cotta, Fruits & Nuts Cake, Tiramisu, Peach Cobbler…etc. Many selection for dessert but if you notice there is lack of something, something that every buffet and “Italian” related, Yes…Ice Cream. We can’t find any ice cream in the buffet line which we hope to complete our meal with a cup of Gelato.

Let start eating….

August 28, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

The RM50 million project to revive Penang iconic Komtar from Only World Group (OWG) has slowly surface and the upper floor of 59th and 60th is completed with Seafood Buffet Restaurant and Lounge. We have the chance to visit 59 Dining Room and truly impress by the awesome 360 degree view of Penang Island.

Lower ground entrance located beside Maybank and parking slot available at Komtar Parking or opposite multi level parking but honestly it is not so convenience and safe. Parking should be one of the improvement to carry out as it play a very key role for customer experience, parking lot close all lighting at 10.30pm and only kept a few light for those floor that still has car. Honestly it is not so pleasant experience collecting car at dark.
Anyhow, we are greeted with smile and escort by security to the lift that bring us up to 59th floor.

We are greeted again at 59th Floor Entrance with a wet towel and big smile, proceed further to the main hall of 59 Dining Room and all of us are shock with the awesome view. It is spectacular!

Iconic view from Komtar 59th Floor. Highly recommended to be here before 6pm to catch the awesome view before sunset, take a round walk of the building to view 360 of Penang.

Assorted cooking sauce such as Butter sauce, BBQ sauce, Cheese sauce, Spicy Chili sauce or KamHeong sauce.

Chili Crab

Chili Prawn

Butter Prawn

Kam Heong Crab still my favorite, the sauce has very strong dried shrimp taste and it taste even better than some seafood restaurant.

Miso Station

Roasted Duck and Chicken with Chicken CharSiew and Steamed Chicken.

A big bowl meat, Chicken Char Siew taste so good that can easily beat Ayamas while the roasted Duck and Chicken are very moist and flavorful as well.

Fresh Local Fruits such as dragon fruits, papaya, watermelon, honey dew and longan.

Local food, is this for decoration only? Seem like no one dare to eat anything here, i wish to try the mangoesteen.

Big section of Dessert to finish up our meal, whole lot of different kind of dessert available and on top of that they do served fried ice cream and chocolate fountain.

Overall we are impress with the variety and food quality served here although we have heard some negative feedback before visit but seem like they have listen to customer and improve on it. I really enjoy dining here especially the great service from the crew, they really care for you and clean our used plate fast.

I am the lucky guy to be born on August and they even sing birthday song and gave me a big birthday cake, I feel so awkward and excited. So complicated. This must be the “highest” celebration I have so far. Thanks for the crew for your wish and birthday song, it truly memorable.
