myElephant Ipoh Thai Food Restaurant

September 6, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

Congratulation to myElephant Thai Restaurant on their grand opening of the 6th myElephant Thai Restaurant located at Ipoh, Jalan Lau Ek Ching. The new myElephant Ipoh located at the heart of Ipoh City close by Restoran Foh San, which bring the first branch outside of Klang Valley. My Elephant Thai Restaurant is a pork-free traditional Thai cuisine restaurant started at SS17, Petaling Jaya from 2007, now they have restaurant at Sri Hartamas, Aman Suria, USD, Subang and Ampang.

myElephant Thai Food Restaurant Ipoh created a restaurant with great ambiance and emphasize on simple family/friends gathering restaurant. Fully air-conditioned restaurant with table and chair painted with white color that gave a clean feeling.

During the launch, Kenny Loh, Head Chef of myElephant showcase their signature dishes such as Yum Som orr, Tod Man Plah, Tom Som Seafood, Snow Fish, Gaeng Phet Yaeng which are their signature dishes since the very first day of myElephant opened for business.

Tod Man Plah, handmade Thai Fish Cake always a tasty choice of appetizer which are made from blended fish meat with assorted seasoning then deep fried to perfection, it has mild kaffir lime and curry flavor.

Yum Som Orr (Pomelo Salad), a tangy salad that surprise all of us. Great use of Pomelo to replace green papaya since Pamelo has the “pop” texture instead of papaya crunchy texture which has better texture and flavor, season with deep fried shallot, onion, peanut, spring onion and lime with sweet and spicy sauce is just awesome.

Tom Som Seafood, a combination of clear galangal, lemongrass, lime soup and Thai herbs served with seafood. Immediate after a spoonfuls of the soup we can feel the spicy and sour taste, it is pretty strong in flavor and inside the bowl of soup are squid, fish meat and prawn.

Snow Fish (Salt-Baked Fish), salted-baked whole Seabass served with signature green chili sauce. In Ipoh Salted Chicken is very famous but in myElepahtn Salted Fish is their signature dish, gave it a try and compare whether you like Ipoh Salted Chicken or myElephant Salted Fish, share with us which is better.

Gaeng Phet Yaeng (Roast Duck Curry), very creamy curry sauce served with roasted duck. This is the very first time we ate roasted duck served inside curry sauce, normally chicken are use but in myElephant roasted duck are added and it is surprisingly good. Roasted duck itself are flavorful, dipping inside creamy curry sauce making it taste even better.

Bringing home a goodies bag that came with a pack of Kangkung seed, I really love the idea of giving away seed.

July 25, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

Tan Jetty Thai Food is one of the famous Thai food that is well known among Penangkia. It has been established since many years back but only recently we pay a visit to this shop, just within a week time we visited twice as we addicted to the nice Tomyam soup.
Parking are available next to the restaurant but limited, you may park your car at opposite entrance of Tan Jetty and walk inside. It just few minute walk, just be sure to respect the neighborhood by not making noise.

Seaview from the restaurant, it is a little bit smelly during low tide but it is perfectly fine during high tide. If you are lucky you may see people taking wedding photography at the wooden road. It is public road lead to a Chinese temple. Nice view for photo shooting.

Lemon grass drink, it is very healthy drinks that has strong lemon grass flavor and not too sweet.

Fish Cake

Tomyam Soup is our favorite, the soup is spicy and sour. You can choose to have mix seafood or prawn. I can finish one big plate of rice with this tomyam soup, it is really appetizing.

Fresh Fruit Juice, assorted fresh fruits mix and match. Highly recommended the Dragon Fruits mixed with Apple and Orange, although the price is slightly on the high side but consider the amount of fresh fruit blended it still worth the value.

Sukhothai is one of our favorite restaurant for beef noodle, we start visited their shop since day 1 their established business at Burma Road.
Beef Noodle never disappointed us, it has great beef aroma and the beef meat is to tender and delicious.

Char Koay Teow, a big surprise to us. We never expect the Char Koay Teow to be that authentic consider the lack of pork lard, the big portion of Char Koay Teow is so delicious.

Tab Tim Krob, we had 3 big bowl of this dessert as it just too good.

Tom Yam Noodle, instead of chili red tom yam, we try the clear soup tom yam that has stronger lemon grass flavor and sourish with mild spiciness.

Kung Poh Yee Mee from Penang Wok, nicely cook yee mee has the “wok hei”, it taste really good.

Assorted Dessert

Chili Pan Mee is one of the best dishes we had, the noodle is perfectly cook to nice texture and the sauce is flavorful, I enjoy the crispy “ikan bilis” and runny egg.

Beep Beep Q Barbecue Buffet Restaurant Bangkok Lane Penang

April 17, 2015 Enqvist 2 Comments

Beep Beep Q Restaurant located at Bangkok Lane where the famous mee goreng located. Ample of parking space available along Bangkok Lane on evening time, remember to put parking ticket. The restaurant are fill with automotive part where the owner get it from friends and himself has great interest as well. The restaurant offer a-la-carte or buffet, buffet are made-to-order for just RM60 with wide selection of protein, vege and seafood.

Outdoor seating area.

The Barbecue Buffet for Adult RM60 nett and RM30 for Kids (6-12 Years).
Barbeque are done by the owner, customer just wait and eat. Great service.

Free flow of water, soup, mash potato and salad.
Onion and Celery Soup

Mash Potato that grind with potato skin, i love the rich flavor and a little bit salty taste from the potato skin.

Fresh Vegetable Salad that came with carrot, purple cabbage, lettuce and tomato.

Mix Grilled Vege, this plate came with crispy yam, brocolli, eggplant, zuchinni and sweet corn. We love the crispy yam as it is really crispy and topping with sweet sauce making it taste like a snack. Eggplant also my favorite where outer part crispy and soft inside.

Grilled Mango & Banana, top with sweet honey sauce. That is something new that we never try before, grilled mango seem to be odd but after first bite the sour and sweet mango make some good flavor after all, big surprise to us.

Bacon Wrapped with Enoki Mushroom, I voted this as the best dish of the night where the bacon is perfectly cook to flavor and the enoki mushroom texture make both a great combination, it is very good.

Thai Style Fish *Pre Order*, another highly recommended dish where the fish is cook with a lot of lemongrass and salt as seasoning. The fish is pretty big in size and perfectly cook, fish meat very moist and absorb the lemongrass flavor, topping with the special made dipping sauce make it taste awesome. *Not included in buffet, RM30 each*

Special made dipping sauce that has garlic, chili and lemon in it.

Barbecue Wild Mushroom season with herbs.

Porkloin Chop, grilled with homemade sweet honey sauce. Personally the sweet sauce apply on the pork is way too much, the sweet sauce overpower the pork flavor and too sweet for my liking.

Spicy Chicken Wing coated with a lot of herbs, the chicken wing is nicely marinated and tender soft.

Grilled Prawn, simple but delicious. Although the prawn is a little bit small but it is not overcook, well maintain the prawn juiciness and the special made sauce play into a key role again, we are just in love with the sauce as it goes well with all dishes.

Sirloin Steak

Grilled Squid

Grilled Chicken Thigh with black pepper and barbecue sauce, debone chicken grilled to perfection then top with black pepper and barbecue sauce.

Barbecue Lamb Shoulder, very generous portion of lamb served to our table, well cook lamb shoulder top with the sweet sauce and pineapple. The lamb is tender and not chewy, great amount of sauce apply make it taste very good.

Jumbo Sausage with barbecue sauce, I like the long sausage compare to the smaller sausage as it flavor suit my taste bud more.

Grilled Fish, dory fish top with garlic butter sauce.

Sweet Potato, we can smell the potato fragrance from far. Sweet potato is my all time favorite, normally I wrap with aluminium foil and put in into oven, rarely got a chance to barbecue. Seem like barbecue sweet potato taste as well. Yummy.

Last but not least the star of the shop, cute little doggy.

Patsa Thai Thai Boat Noodle near Gama Jalan Dato Keramat

March 23, 2015 Enqvist 1 Comment

Recently Penang has so many boat noodle restaurant where each bowl of noodle are sell for RM1.80 to RM2 each, surrounding friends always show they eating 10 to 20 bowls in Facebook and that make me wanna try as well. It seem like a new trends to served in small portion. Today we visit Patsa Thai Thai that located at the same stretch as Gama for a “couple” of boat noodle. Parking can be found beside Gama or at the road side, there is plenty of car park available at night.

Patsa Thai Thai doesn’t served Pork or Beef as they are targeting to Thai Muslim customer, with that said Chicken is the only sauce of sweetness and they make a good use of it.

Typical Thai sauce with sugar, you can add this to your bowl for extra flavor.

3 type of drink available and 2 of them are 100Plus and Coke, for sure we try the last option Matum Water RM2, the water is special cook by chef for many hours, according to him this is a very healthy drink.

Papaya Salty Egg Salad RM20, you can choose the level of spiciness but i highly recommended Level 3 which is a little bit spicy but not overpower other flavor. The owner recommended we to try the Original Thai flavor which maybe taste a little bit fishy due to Fish Sauce but if you can’t take the fishy taste then you can ask for the Local version. Anyhow, for us we try the Original Thai version with Level 3 spiciness and we think that is the perfect combination, spicy, sour with papaya crunchy texture making it taste good.

Fill up our table with Boat Noodle.

The menu for Boat Noodle is pretty straight forward, one type of soup based, dry or soup with 3 type of noodle namely Kuey Teow, Mee Hoon and Glass Noodle. The ingredients include are chicken ball, special make chicken that blended together with soft bone to give it some texture. The soup is rich in flavor and exactly the same taste as the one we try in Bangkok road side.
