Al Medina - Moroccan Food @ Tanjung Bungah

 Moroccan Restaurant
                         523C Jalan Tanjung Bungah11200 Tanjung BungahPenang

Please note ...
They used to be next to Copthorne Hotel
Now they have MOVED OPPOSITE

 Ambience it's nice and quiet.
Takes a while for food to be served so it is good if you want to catch up and just chill for the evening, take your time and chit chat.

Best part is they allow BYO with no extra charges.

 Vegetarian salads are nice and refreshing ...

 Food is healthy looking
Not oily, couscous, Tajines...
First time having Moroccan so it is difficult to compare and comment.
Overall, it was a nice and new experience




 Food is fresh :-)
Beware of mosquitoes ...

Why is Harvest Inn On The NO GO List ???

 The food is ok with good presentation ...
The price is reasonable ...
The service is fast fast fast ...
What is your problem ?
Why is it on the NO GO List ???
  

 Here we go ...
Very Bad Ambience
It is always noisy here.  You can't even here yourself what more the person you are dining with.
If you wanna come here for a quick lunch then yes, this is the place, fast in, fast out, best you come alone so you don't need to shout and strain to listen.


 You just feel pressured to LEAVE ...
Well they may not say it right at your face but before you finish your meal, your friend's plate has been cleared, they have already wiped off the crumb your friend left on the table.
Woosh ... woosh ... woosh ...
Long black is OK but the milk is COLD !
Cappuccino SUCK ! BIG TIME !
Don't believe ? Go try it.
 Your car gets BLOCKED !
Well it is not a big thing if the customers double park, right ?
But if you tell the waitress and she tells you ... "er ... just HONK and the owner will come out"
then it is not very nice to make annoying noises when others are having their meal.
Here is the BEST part.
YOU Have To Pay For SUCK Coffee !
This one is the last straw ...
So we sent back the coffee and they come back saying, our cappuccino tastes like that.
How bout you choose another type of coffee.
So we chose another long black.
And waiter said WHAT !!!
Even though you choose long black, we still have to charge you cappuccino price!!!
Ok, it is only RM 1 difference so we decided making a fuss is just a waste of time.
POOR POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
Would have made hell of a difference if the waiter said ...
"So sorry, for the inconvenience, please choose another coffee from our menu, it would be on the house, have a nice day (smile, smile)
Wake up ! I was just dreaming :-p

So in summary, 
Noisy-Rush-Suck Cappuccino-Poor Customer Service
This is why Harvest Inn is on the NO GO list.

Well, all said, the choice is yours.
If you still wanna have a try here is where it is :
Have a Nice Day :-)

Passions of Kerala

 The worst time to eat Chinese food is Chinese New Year ...
Why ?
Lots of people crowding in to the little island to get a taste of its very best during the festive season and the holiday craze.
Food will be overpriced and may not be as good and as fresh as it is.
So Foodie has decided to recommend a Southern Indian option.

 Try Passions of Kerala at New World Park.
Along Burma Road in the front and Hutton Lane at the back.
Also ample carpark for all.

 Deep fried bitter gourd slices is a must order.
 Lamb Masala is superb.
Also very well known for it's fried fish.

 So here is how we do it ...
Order the banana leaf rice set and feel free to as for more portions of rice and veg.

 Pretty reasonable as well.
This is a bill that fed 7 pax in mid last year.






They also have a  branch at Island Glades.
Same owners.
City folks prefer it here due to its location.
Both are as good ...
Happy welcoming the Year of the Horse !

Best Japanese Edo Ichi

 It is indeed another festive month with lots of holidays this week.
Nice ambience.
Nice food.
Reasonably priced.
No problems with parking.
 Well known for its soft shell crab salad.
This is a must try.

 Agadeshi tofu is superb.
By the way, this is a halal venue :-)

 Sashimi is fresh.
Hand rolls are yummy.
Spoilt for choice with hand rolls.
A big favourite for kids.



 Good place for a nice family outing ...

Oh by the way, please do not forget to leave some space for the yummy black sesame ice cream !
