Lamb Madghout

 A few weekends ago, masa tercari2 where to have lunch, Hubby suggested Restoren Qasar Hadramawt. Kalau ikut the princesses memang McD & KFC je dalam list diorang. I pulak dah muak dengan fastfood ni. Kebetulan pulak kitaorang nak ke Jusco which was near this restaurant.
 Restoren ni kat Bandar Perda. Masa tengok menu, memang Hubby & I tengok menu Lamb. Rasa macam nak makan nasi. So, ada a few choices. Lamb Mendy, Lamb Khabsa & Lamb Madghout. Lamb Mendy dah biasa makan kat Restoren Arabian Mendy, Sg Petani. Lamb Khabsa nampak tak menarik coz rebus je. So, we decided on Lamb Madghout.
 When lunch was served, memula I ingat macam tak habis je coz servings 1/2 kg tu macam banyak je. Tengok2 Alysa tambah 3x. Adik pun bertambah. Bay finished off her portion. Even Airis meratah lamb. The lamb was so soft. Nasi pulak guna beras basmathi panjang tu. It was served by a lady yang berpurdah. Rasa macam kat Arab lak..
 For my taste, lamb madghout ni lagi sedap dari lamb mendy. The price here is so reasonable. Memang recommended...They also serve variety of menu eg kebab.

Nice layout

Kambing

 Haha.. nak sangat tajuk pendek... Tapi tempat yang kitaorang pegi last saturday memang famous dengan kambing pun. Diaorang ternak kambing & ada cafe yang served mainly kambing dishes.

Yup, as most penangites would know this place, Hubby & I went to Puncak Mutiara Cafe kat Kg Pelet tu. Tempat ni dah jadi macam eco tourism dah. Ada homestay tak jauh dari situ. Lepas makan boleh bawak anak2 melawat ladang kambing, tengok ostrich & bagi makan ikan. I like the ambience. Tp foodwise ok la for my taste. Hubby had nasi beriyani paha kambing & I had sup kambing & roti benggali. For me, nasi beriyani dia mmg tak leh lawan Beriyani Gam Batu Pahat. Tapi, cendawan goreng dia sedap.

Actually, dah lama nak try tempat ni tp tak berkesempatan. This time pegi mkn dgn Buyung & family for late lunch. Kitaorang tak bwk pn the princesses. May be nx time blh bawak diorang tgk ostrich..:-). Cafe ni beroperasi from 10am to 2 am. Ada surau yang besar. Tempat makan yang ada privacy coz ada individual gazebo. Ada juga tempat makan ' kayangan' kat atas bukit yang boleh nampak semua gazebo tu..

Anniversary

 Last nite Hubby tanya " u nak makan ke or nak somewhere romantic?" :D. Apa le punya soklan..Actually, he was referring to our anniversary dinner. Since I pun lapar coz I only had ABC for tea, we decided to go to somewhere near & tak yah tunggu lama utk makan. Just the 2 of us. The princesses tinggal dgn Cik Jun. This year tak boleh masak special coz dapur tak siap lg..Huwaa..dah 3 minggu dapur tak berasap! Tp dah in final stage.

Kitaorang ke this Chicken Chop restaurant in Teluk Air Tawar. Dah a few times nak try sini tapi tak berkesempatan. Since I tak nak dissappointments on my first visit here, we didn't order western food. Dah a few times makan western food at various cafes & restaurants yg I rasa dissappointed with the quality of food. I ordered Char Hor Fun, & Hubby tried their Nasi Goreng Mak Tok. Both sedap with good presentation. Tapi since I mmg tgh kebulur masa tu, I ordered mihun sup pulak. Waiter tu tanya take away ke? Heran kut tgk org kurus je tp makan 2 pinggan. haha..

We tried to get home early coz the princesses ada exam hari ni. All in all the food here is yummy & the ambience is nice. Suitable for dining out with family. Service pun cepat. Rasanya 1/2 hour kat situ I dah siap order & makan my 1st dish eventhough orang tgh ramai masa tu.

To Hubby, Happy 12th Anniversary. Thank you for always being there for me.

A Disappointing Food Experience

We normally spend our weekends going shopping or to picnic spots. Tapi since weather kat Penang ni is so hot nowadays, alamatnya kepanasan & kehitaman le the princesses kalau pegi picnic gak. Panas & macam nak terbakar je especially kalau tengahari buta. During weekends le we normally try out new eating places coz during weekdays I masak je.

Since kitaorang diamanahkan oleh mak untuk jemput few friends & sedara ke kenduri kawin anak sedara I , Ismadi on 14th Feb, so, kena le menjalankan tugas. But, before that kena le lunch dulu. We picked a new cafe to try out at Pusat Bandar Bertam. We are so sick of fast-food restaurants ( Hubby & I je..) coz kat sini le Alysa & Ayra selalu request nak pegi during weekends. Tgk cafe / kopitiam ni nampak decoration macam menarik je. Tapi heran gak sbb tak de orang lunch kat situ. So, hubby said why not we try out this restaurant without judging from the lack of customers. After eating, then we knew why there was no customer from the moment we step in until we finished our lunch. I ordered mee sup which was so bland & tasteless. Hubby ordered mee kari which the colour & smell made me so scared of trying it out. Nampak tak cedap langsung! For the princesses we initially ordered chicken chop but they ran out of it. So, I ordered fish & chips. Tapi fish tu macam keropok coz it was so dry & over fried. So, conclusion mmg le kitaorang tak kan ke cafe tu lagi..& wouldn't recommend to friends..:-) Sometimes rasa disappointed betul bila cuba kat restoran baru & the food was prepared by the so-called chef tapi food tak sedap. Even I yang tak de culinary skills can prepare much better than that! ( Perasan lak..hehe..). Food tu punya le unimpressive sampai terlupa nak amik gambar.

Baby tengah tunggu our lunch

That nite I had a tummy ache, a symptom associated with too much MSG in food that i ate. So, I told Hubby, next time if I ordered mee sup again anywhere, please forbid me coz I had a tummy ache too when I ordered mee sup in Kuala Kedah a couple weeks ago. Lagipun kat rumah we never buy mee kuning. Takut masuk boric acid le ni. Tapi kat luar bedal gak...haha.. Kat rumah guna spagheti je ganti mee.

Sometimes it's soo difficult to choose a place to eat where everyone can really eat. Kalau pilih ikut tekak we all, the princesses tak makan le pulak. Like last week we tried restoran nasi Kandar near Jalan Raja Uda... Diorang tak jamah langsung. Minum je. Dah le mamak2 tu asyik datang dekat diorang nak main. Lagi le hilang selera diorang..hehe.. So, lepas tu we headed to Jusco & pegi Chicken Rice Shop. Baru le diorang makan. Dah buang masa kena pegi 2 tempat for lunch! Kalau ikut choice diorang manjang KFC & McD. Tapi good thing gak pegi Jusco. Dapat le ke Library ( while bergilir solat dgn Hubby coz library tu just next to surau ) & shopping clothes & shoes for the princeses.

"K.Ngah baca apa tu?"



Alysa & Ayra with books that they chose

Kasut kat atas ni ada cerita..:-). Not mine, but Alysa's. Macam kasut adult je kan? Ni CNY Promo le ni. Buy 1 pair & get the second pair at RM0.88. So ni le rega kasut Alysa..:-) Actually we've given up on buying shoes for her in Jusco. Susah nak cari kasut untuk kaki dia yang chubby tu.. So, after dah beli kasut kat Baby & Adik, kesian lak kat dia tak beli. Masa tu Alysa cuma dapat new pants je. Nasib le jumpa kasut ni..& it's soo..cheap. Boleh beli berpuluh2 pasang kasut Adik & Baby..hehe.. & I pun dapat sepasang to get kasut Alysa at that price haha..Good deal huh?
