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 !!!

It's yummylicious ....

Somewhere Classy For Christmas ???

Loads of budding cafes and restaurants has appeared over the past few months ...

 

I would like to bring you back in time ... reminiscing our good old Equatorial Hotel.

While the hype continues along the tourist belt of Tanjung Bungah, let us not forget The View.

It's semi buffet style where you can linger freely choosing your starters and appetisers.

Choice of soup, fresh oysters, salads and sashimi ...

Not forgetting its all time favourite smoked salmon.
Credit given that for a buffet style in Penang, there is always enough helping for everyone.

Choice of dressing and sauces to go with your meal

Sorbet served before your main course

Nicely done steak - nothing to complain about.

Do make sure you don't over do on the buffet spread, not leaving any space for the main course.

Not a very classy thing to do but I suggest you go easy on the buffet spread ... have the main course and if you feel like another round of the spread ... why not ?

Dessert people ... leave some space for the sweets ...

Your are game for a romantic Christmas dinner ... live music as you dine :-)

Merry Christmas Foodie Fans

&

A Happy 2015 New Year !!! 

Best Hamburger

So what is the best thing to do after a long days work?  Sit back, relax, have a hamburger and a couple if beers :-) why not ?

Do you remember a restaurant called Audees in Pulau Tikus, Burmah Road, sometime back ?  Well the same owner is now running a hamburger outlet at the Jalan Tanjung Bungah in the evenings.  It is at the compound of Sunflower Bakery. If you happen to pass by Tanjung Bungah and you are a burger fan, this is a MUST HAVE !

I know we have the Ah Pek burger at Hillside and it also has been highly featured it his blog by Foodie some time back.  Well, if we can put it this way ... There are many categories of hamburger.  If we can say Hillside Ah Pek burger is similar to Ramli burger, Tari burger etc ie. stall burger category, tasty in a different league if it's own.

This one in the other hand is premium burger with all the quality goodies.  If you take beef the pate is nice and not full of flour, it really has meat inside and if you choose chicken, you get the full drum.  Home made pickles are really nice, very different from the extremely sour ones you have in your Mac Donalds or Burger King beef burgers.

So ... Current price for premium burgers is super reasonable and if you have a small stomach, share it and you will still be pretty full with the side chilli fries.

Side chilli fries is a Must Have it's super yum !

If you are a very busy person, call in order first, less waiting :-)

A little complicated for the newbie cause you get to choose choice if bun, my favorite is the bagel poppy seed.  Charcoal is light, English muffin is heavy, whole wheat??? Err... Did not try cause how can you match something healthy with the not so healthy ha ha ... If you wanna indulge, let's do it all the way ...

Sk the best option for Foodie is the Take Away so you can go home and relax, place ya feet on the coffee table, sit back, open ya can if Asahi and enjoy ...

These are the reasons why Hamburger is in the Best List of Penang Foodie and below are the MUST HAVES ...

The Beef Hamburger 

Moroccan Lamb

The Yakuza

Chilli Fries

Oh yum ...

My Voice Cafe Hits The NO GO List

Maybe someone can tell me why this place is packed all the time cause I just can't seem to figure it out ...

Just for laughs ...

Anyway there Foodie heard of the recent crowding at My Voice @ Bay Avenue and decided to check it out.  

This mango fusion roll was recommended by the very enthusiastic waiter.  Unfortunately it was a disaster, tasted neither savoury nor dessert like.  The rice was not properly cooked and chilli flakes on some sweet mango sauce ??? Fusion??? No thanks, worst roll ever, two words, Don't Order !

So we ordered the all famous ramen supposedly comes in a huge bowl.

Besides the gimmick of eating from a really huge bowl ... Really ...

Nothing great ... 

Jelly like dessert with ice cream so-so.

Ok let's talk about these flower tea

What ??? Tea ??? Huh ??? Where ???

OMG !!! Unlimited refill but it's so blend even with refill No. 1 :-(

We also had the gyoza but it was soggy and nothing great, really.

Enough said ... 

First and last visit for Foodie

Money not well spent ...
