Noor & Dean’s Kafe and Noordin Street House Georgetown Penang

January 22, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

Noor & Dean’s Kafe and Noordin Street House Georgetown Penang, one of the top ranking restaurant in TripAdvisor for Georgetown Penang. On top of that, it is a boutique hotel as well. The restaurant offer authentic local delicacy with some great western food in their menu, signature dishes such as Laksa, Satay and more are tourist favorite.

Being one of the heritage building, the structure and design is well preserved and maintain. Wooden chair and table are widely use in the restaurant with whole lot of antique vase and decorative item as decoration is just nice.

Noor Meets Dean RM12, very refreshing drinks that include pineapple, orange, lemon and berry.
Cool Mint & Lime Fritz RM12, combination of lemon and mint which taste extremely sour but very refreshing.

Street House Delight RM12, mixture of lemon, lycee and passion fruit cocktail.

Faux Champagne RM12, mixture of apple, pineapple, orange and other fruits.

Harwin Temper RM12, sweet and sour drink with salt cover on top. The specialty is the red color salt which I never see it before but it actually taste pretty much the same as normal salt.

Noor & Dean’s Platter RM35, a big platter combination of Stay, Chicken Dynamite, Cucur Udang and Pakora. Personally I live the Chicken Satay very much as it perfectly marinated and taste flavorful, most important still the Satay sauce which has whole lot of peanut in it and taste so good. Chicken Dynamite is something special here, it is actually green chili filled with cheese and chicken meat, at first I am pretty scare to try as I don’t like the green chili taste but I am wrong here, it doesn’t has strong chili flavor instead it taste fresh and the filling taste well balanced with the chili. The other two item Pakora and Cucur Udang are perfectly deep fried to crispy texture and taste good with the dipping sauce provided.

Satay

Shish Kebab & Pasta RM28, a very creative combination of Italian vs Indian cuisine into one plate. We enjoy the nice presentation of this dish as well, hanging Kebab with assorted vegetable while Paste are served on something like a flower pot.

Antique plate are use here.

Lamb Shank RM38, my favorite of the night. Big portion of lamb shank perfectly marinated and cook for long hour to fully absorb the sauce flavor, it was fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful. The Lamb Shank pair perfectly with the mash potato and fresh vegetable.

Bawal Goreng Juru RM16, this is one of the Penang famous delicacy where Juru is a small town located at main land of Penang, a lot restaurant served great Ikan Bawal Goreng in that area. Great to know that they have this delicacy as well, Ikan Bawal aka Black Pomfret is perfectly deep fried to crunchy texture and pair with a bowl of rich flavor curry.

Thai Laksa RM16, very creamy soup full with coconut aroma and various herb flavor making it taste sour and sauteed. Assorted vegetable such as mint leave, onion, cucumber and chili are bring added.

Sizzling Almond Cake RM12, I bet you never try this before as it is something new to us as well. Normally Dessert either served in cold or hot but in Noor & Dean’s Kafe they served cold ice cream and cake in hot sizzling plate. The cake still taste hot on our first bite, almond cake very moist and not too sweet which is nice pairing with vanilla ice cream.

Pandan Sago Gula Melaka RM6, well cooked sago that maintain it round and individual texture instead of stick together and the great flavor of Gula Melaka and Coconut Milk combination make it taste so good.

We are lucky to have a site our in Noordin Street House Boutique Hotel. The Boutique Hotel has 8 suites in which it has it very own design and decoration, building are perfectly restore to highest standard. Room are fitted with 1950s retro furniture and maintain to tip top condition.

Surprisingly there is a in house swimming pool.

We really enjoy sitting at the roof top, it is so comfortable and nicely decorated with superb view to First Avenue.

Spaces open area for book reading or Internet browsing.

Laptop is provided to in house guest for Internet browsing.

We really enjoy dining at restaurant and impress with the boutique hotel as well.

Mess Hall Western and Asian Cuisine Restaurant at King Street Penang

January 16, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

Mess Hall Western and Asian Cuisine Restaurant located at King Street which is just a few door from Heaven Gate. The restaurant not only serving food instead it is a small art gallery and museum as well. There is ample parking space available during dinner time and weekend while week day may have some challenge due to office area.

There is a big welcome sign right after the entrance with a antique Motorcycle which according to the owner he bought it from Kuantan.

Very nice table arrangement and high ceiling making the restaurant look spaces and big.

Passing through a small walk way, we came to another big dining area which really caught us in surprise. Nicely decorated bar and open ceiling design that allow sunshine go directly into the building which is very comfortable.

There is a big plane hanging at the end of the restaurant as well.

On the second floor of the restaurant there is a small art gallery with few table for dining.

Mix Flower Tea RM13

Caramel Macchiato RM10

Latte RM10
We really like the special design of the cup use here, it has two layer which help to prevent heat transmit to outer layer and burn your hand.

Frappe Green Tea Latte RM13

Frappe Vanilla Blue Sky RM13

Wild Mushroom Soup RM9.90, a mixture of 3 different type of mushroom cook together which has creamy texture and full of mushroom aroma.

Served together with mushroom soup is crunchy garlic bread.

Seafood al Pomodoro RM15.90, mushroom, muscle, scallop, fish, squid and prawn are the ingredients added to the tomato based spaghetti.

Grilled Salmon RM32 served with assorted vegetable and homemade lemon butter sauce which has some sourness and sauteed taste, it goes well with the perfectly grilled salmon.

Authentic Tomyam Noodle RM8.90, the soup is rich in flavor where spiciness and sourness is on the right level and the generous amount of seafood added for this price is well reasonable, the only complain I have is the instant noodle use which is not my liking.

Royal Curry Chicken RM14.90, one big pieces of chicken drumstick cook with thick curry gravy served with a bowl of soup. I love the thick curry gravy spiciness that has strong curry flavor with mild herb in it.

Stew Drunken Chicken RM14.90, very strong chicken and herbal flavor but lack of alcoholic flavor, in which a little more wine added should help boost it flavor.

Coffee Cheesecake RM10, nice platting with a smiling face and wording, smooth texture and not too sweet which just right for us.

Marble Cheesecake RM10

Guo Guo Le Tom Yam Steamboat Prangin Mall Penang

December 23, 2014 Enqvist Leave a comment

Prangin Mall famous for it Shua Shua Le Tom Yam Steamboat but now there is another Guo Guo Le Tom Yam Steamboat, according to rumor this shop owner previously working in Shua Shua Le Tom Yam Steamboat hence their soup base should be same taste. Both has pretty much the same menu and Tom Yam based soup. Guo Guo Le doesn’t has as strategic location as it located at somewhere not that noticeable. Anyhow, let review their steamboat and see who is the champion.

Even the steamboat bowl also the same type, the soup smell and look almost the same as the other shop as well.

Deep fried garlic which we like to add into our soup to give the overall soup taste a boost in flavor.

Steamboat ingredients which consists of prawn, egg, fish ball, dumpling, mushroom, instant noodle, tofu and thin slice meat. Honestly the ingredients is exactly the same as the other shops where you can get almost all this type of ingredients at local market, nothing special. Slices meat include pork, beef and mutton.

Prawn given is fresh big white prawn which is a plus.

Overall the taste and price is pretty much the same as the other shop. The tom yam soup very rich in flavor, spicy and sour which we love it so much.

April 3, 2014 Enqvist Leave a comment

Wang Thai Restaurant located in Pulau Tikus area and specifically along Burma Road, there is a couple of Thai food restaurant around this area and right opposite is Aroi Thai Restaurant. We heard very positive feedback regarding Wang Thai hence we come and give it a try.

Tod Kratiem Pla Angsai RM50, deep fried garlic fish with pepper powder is something new to us and we highly recommend this dish. Fish is perfectly deep fried to very crispy while the deep fried garlic gave a strong boost to it flavor together with pepper powder which make it overall taste extremely good, although the fish is deep fried but it still juicy inside.

Tom Yam Goong RM24.90, Traditional prepared spicy thai tom yam prawns. It taste pretty spicy and sour compare to local tom yam but it taste pretty authentic as it has similar taste like i had in Bangkok, the most important is the is fresh prawn.

Pad Kana Moo-Crob RM19.90, stir fried kailan with roast pork.

Yum Woon Sen RM14.90, hot and spicy Thai Glass Noodle Salad. A mixture of black fungus, squid, prawn, onion and garlic with glass noodle served in cold, it is definitely a great appetizer to start with.

Cha-om RM9.90, stir fried egg

Tub Tim Krob RM4.50, thick white coconut milk mixed with red rubies and jack fruits, it taste pretty sweet but full of jack fruits aroma.

Fooyo Fresh Fruity Dessert Prangin Mall

November 8, 2013 Enqvist 4 Comments

Heard of Fry Yogurt before? Well, there is a new dessert kiosk open in Prangin Mall where they fry yogurt with assorted fresh fruits. The idea is actually coming from our neighbor country Thailand where they fry yogurt instead of ice cream.
Fooyo Fresh Fruity Dessert is actually serving fry yogurt or ice vanilla with waffle, they are as well the only one in Penang now to offer such dessert.

The making of Fry Yogurt is actually same step as Fry Ice Cream just different ingredients, at first they put in the yogurt into extremely cold pan then putting in some fresh fruit and mix them together, mix it to perfection then flatten it and roll it up. Pretty simple!

There is two version either Fry Ice Yogurt or Fry Ice Vanilla which we found that Fry Ice Yogurt taste better as it has sour taste while the Fry Ice Vanilla seem to be normal as it only has sweet taste with mild vanilla flavor.
You can choose to have Kiwi, Strawberry, Mango, Dragon Fruit, Banana or Original flavor, we highly recommended Mango flavor as it has the best flavor compare to other and it mix well with both Yogurt and Vanilla.

Kiwi Fry Ice Yogurt rm8.90

Mango Fry Ice Yogurt rm8.50

Strawberry Fry Ice Vanilla rm8.90

Banana Choco Fry Ice Vanilla rm8.50

Dragon Fruit Yogurt Ice Blended rm8.50 is very refreshing and the mixture of sour taste yogurt with sweet dragon fruits goes very well.

Oreo Yogurt Ice Blended rm8.90, i found this to be a little bit too sweet maybe i am not Oreo lover.

Banana & Choco Home Made Waffle rm4 & Chocolate Chip Home Made Waffle RM5, special mix of waffle flour from the owner instead of bought it from the market making their Waffle somewhat different from others, it slightly more firm compare to other.
