Eastin Hotel Penang Ramadan Buffet Dinner

Last Thursday, was the fourth day of fasting month, I was lucky to be invited by Eastin Hotel Penang to attend their Sajian Selera Ramadan AL- Mubarrak at Swez Brasserie. It has been a long waited food review of mine! Damn excited of it! Credit to Jacgyc !

Eastin Hotel Penang, as all of you know, is the latest edition to the presigious Eastin Hotel Chain located just beside Queensbay Mall Penang. Location wise, it is simple to find! You couldn't miss it! However, it's shame to say that due to traffic jam, Elina and I were late to the event. We missed the opening ceremony! OMG, I am pissed of about this. =( We were late ,we were warm welcomed by Eastin staffs though. From this case, Eastin hotel really do provide impeccable service and care! 

Apart from Ramadan Buffet, Eastin was also presenting the cheque worth RM5180 to the Tun Sardon Foundation as part of the CSR project. The objectives of this foundation, founded by the late YAB Tun Datuk Haji Sardon bin Haji Jubir, are to assist the poor and needy and providing scholarship for students. At the same time, Kids from Rumah Harapan Bakti are also with us on this special day. 

After all, we started to explore our food journey like hungry ghost as it is hungry ghost season now! =)  To me, Eastin Hotel Penang is here to provide me a memorable experience I will treasure.

This is called Kurma, which is a MUST before Buka Puasa.

Their desserts really did catch my eyes! They are fragrant and yummy! Hmmm~

Arh Har! What's this?? Cheese?? Cake?? 

It's actually a fried white Brokoli! OMG! 

Feel wanna ride on this bicycle! Haha!

Overall, the food is not bad, the ambience is nice, their staffs are friendly. Why don't you guys pay them a visit? 

Besides, they are now doing Ramadan buffet promotion, buy 3 free 1 from 1-7 august, 22-29 august 2011!

✿ Carpenter Street Cafe✿

As good time pass faster, one of my colleagues is leaving us today as she is going to finish her internship period. Thus, a farewell lunch was organised by all of us for her. 

After discussion, as suggested by Jacgyc--- Sarawak food restaurant, we decided to go to Carpenter Street Cafe which is located at Bandar Bayan Baru. This shop is famous with its Sarawak Kolo Mee and Sarawak Laksa. We were all there for these!

The ambience of the restaurant is quite comfortable with warm lighting, however, it was really packed during lunch hour. Many people were waiting for tables sadly.

Below is the signature original Sarawak Kolomee.A must try for Sarawak food=)

Ordered by one of my collegues, i think it turn out not bad as she finished it fast =)

Does it look like our Wan Tan Mee??

From the Sarawak Tourism Board,

The difference between Kolok Mee and the Wantan Mee, that is popular in Peninsular, is that Kolok Mee is not drenched in dark soy sauce and water is not added to the noodles when served. But the taste is

still pretty amazing.

This is the signature original Sarawak Kolomee .RM5.90

The taste of Sarawak Laksa is totally different with Penang laksa, it is more to Penang Curry Mee , where Sarawak Laksa served with lime, sambal, juicy prawns and tender chicken slides.

Curious about it? Have a try ^^

Sarawak Laksa RM7.90

Sarawak Wantan Soup RM4.50

This wantan soup surprisingly turned me down as it was so normal=(

XO Fried Rice RM 6.90

Highly Recommended by me~ This fried rice serves with XO sos is extremely fragrant and tasty!

Sarawak Tomato Noodles RM7.90

Sarawak Fried Kolomee RM7.90

Ginger Chiken rice RM8.90

This is ordered by one of my collegues who does not eat vege at all =)

Sarawak Red Kolomee RM 5.90

Overall, the Sarawak original dry Kolomee is not bad and the food served is reasonable priced. I will definately pay my second visit for it. To date, Carpenter Cafe do not offer any set meal at the moment.

On the other hand, the food served was slow as they cooked it one by one.

Do pay them a visit!

✿Ecco Cafe✿

Ecco cafe, an old style coffee house located at busy Chulia Street which serves Italian dishes such as Italian pizza, snack and pasta. This coffee house had actually interviewed by 8tv Hoe Chiak crew and many bloggers. This has left me a big question mark in mind and i was wondering what is so special with this kind of coffee house?

Finally, I knew the answer after my first tried  it. I was addicted to their Truz spaghetti serves with banana! As I am the white sauce spaghetti lover, i can say that this is the best white sauce spaghetti that i had ever eat before!!  

This is the interior with old style coffee shop

Decoration

This is what my friend tasted, it has heavy garlic flavour, suit to garlic lovers.

Lemon Infused chicken RM18

This is what I highly recommend to all of you! The white sauce is thick and fragrant compared to other. 

Truz Paste- RM17

No comment because i dun like red sauce pasta=) 

Pomodoro

Banana Shake

Garlic Bread

Overall, the ambience and food were nice but its overpriced ! However, I will still pay my second visit to them as I said, I am addicted!!!

✿ 广州饼家✿ Guang Zhou Biscuit

Last week, after my lunch with my boss--Jacgyc, his friend--Criz and my beloved colleague--Elina at Chin Bee restaurant, we went all the way down to Carnarvon Street as suggested by Criz to look for the secret "Ma Lai Go". Credit to Criz that we got to eat such special "Ma Lai Go" (Steamed Chinese Sponge Cake). ✿ =)

I can still remember clearly in my mind that it was raining heavily at the afternoon before we get to reach the shop. However, Jacgyc and Criz insisted to get down from the car  for just the cakes. How desperate were they ^^


Now, Let's see how is their cakes =)

✿ Coconut tart--- Hao Chiak ✿ 

There are three different biscuits on the plate below which are (Clock wise) Siew Bao ,  Ham Dan Sou and Pineapple biscuit. The Siew bao and Ham Dan Sou tasted nice when you first bite on it, the flavour will come after this while the Pineapple biscuit is just too sweet for me.

This is the chocolate "Ma Lai Go". Special right? The chocolate of the "Ma Lai Go" with sunflower seed is fragrant enough until you want more.. 

This is the green tea "Ma Lai Go". My favourite!!! Its special and taste nice ^^

This is the coffee "Mai Lai Go"

The egg pudding 

 ✿ These "Ma Lai Go"  really taste nice to me and it's highly recommended by me to all  of you ✿
