Still in the mood for Chinese food ? How about May Garden ?

If you are an old timer, you will remember the best suckling pig is from May Garden.

Not sure if this has changed.

But if you are looking for a good suckling pig meal, this place will never let you down.



Here is also one of the rare restaurants in Penang which serves roast on a normal day.

And they do it pretty well too.

Tried this menu sometime back ...

Nothing to complain.

Plenty for everyone.

Again with festive season now, advance booking necessary.

Prices may have gone up though.



Happy Chap Goh Meh !!!

Chinese New Year Delights @ Starview Restaurant

Chinese New Year is just round the corner ...

Welcoming the year of the Goat.

Time to spend good, quality Food Time with family and friends.

Here is one suggestion.

Instead of ordering a 10 course meal, why don't order only the best or maybe we should put it the all time favorites ...

And where else to go during the festive season ?

How about STARVIEW ?

Make sure you make your reservations earlier cause they a frequently overbooked during this time!

Another trick is make sure you have these yummylicious dinners with only people you like and familiar with, don't invite too many so that there is plenty left for second rounds.

Don't invite the greedy and inconsiderate who keeps one filling their own plates with no consideration for others :-)

Sumptuous Chinese New Year dinners must be delicious and overflowing, so no one must go home with a half full stomach.

So let us start off with the large prawn salad.

Followed by the yummy chinese style seafood chowder.

Yup NO sharks fin, you heard me right, not even on Chinese New Year...

Save the sharks!

Below is the recommended menu

And of course we must have the all time favorite Suckling Pig.

Healthy cod fish after that ...

Some light dishes to go with the heavy duty ones.

Good balance ...

Have to say the noodles is just so-so.

If you are superstitious and noodles is a must have then must order it.

Happy Pre-Chinese New Year folks !!!

Foong Wei Heong - Most Affordable Chinese Restaurant

Foong Wei Heong
If you are local, you will know this place.
With its humble beginnings of 1 shop lot, it has successfully expanded itself to 3 shop lots at Sri Bahari Road, Penang.  Tel - 04 2626918
If you can't find the place, it's diagonally opposite The Ship Restaurant.

With inflation kicking in at rocket speed, this place from Foodie's survey seems like this is the best value for money place for good Chinese food.

The suckling pig is superb and succulent, reasonable charged.

And to save the sharks, we don't order sharks fin soup, we order a Chinese seafood chowder which tastes better than the sharks fin soup :-)

and it is cheaper too ...

This duck dish is a must order.

It first dish comes as crispy skin with pancake wrap.

The the remaining of the duck is used to make mango kerabu which is really refreshing and does not make you feel that you have over eaten too much red meat for the day, although you really have over did it :-p

Talk about cheating lying to yourself.

Vegetables ... the all time favourite '4 kings of vege fried with sambal'

Pork leg, pork knuckle, whatever you call it ... our chinese version is as good as the German ones ...

If you are celebrating a birthday, this is the traditional way of doing it, instead of the usual birthday cake.
This is really nice for a change, what more if you already had so many 'rich' dishes.

Well, if you are at Foong Wei Heong and you have no idea how and what to order,  this is the person you should look out for.

Miss Jenny, a very friendly captain, who will have no problems recommending you something that will suit your taste buds.

Ending with a sweet note, here are some choices of dessert available.

If you are a Chinese food fan, this is a MUST visit restaurant.

You can get good quality and yummy Chinese food without blowing a hole in your pocket.

Happy Eating, Happy Father's Day :-)

This place must have gotten something right.
It has been here for decades.
And I remember as a kid I followed my parents here for breakfast.

Not surprising ... at 730am ... this place is packed with people ...

Well, if you are not a dim sum person, you can start ordering dishes from 11.30 am onwards.

Keeping up with the Jones' ...
A recent TVB series was highlighting the yummy salted fish buns and there you go, De Tai Tong is selling it.  This is a new 'bun on the block' and you have got to try it.
Sitting here from 7am onward till almost 9am, there is always a customer at the queue waiting to be served one of these yummy buns.

Well, loads to choose from.
But as for me, why am I here so early on a Saturday afternoon.
This is a MUST try if you come here for Dim Sum.
The all time favourite, Century Egg Pork Porridge :-)
For me, it is the reminiscence of my childhood.
Happy Dim Sum-ming Folks !!!
