Heavenly Delicious Rahman Satay @ 2828 Cafe, Perak Road, Penang. (Halal) 10 Jan 2012 10:26 PM (13 years ago)

I accidentally stumbled into this Rahman Satay when I was invited to a dinner at 2828 Cafe which is located at the T-junction of Perak Road & Lim Khoon Huat Road by my friend last year (i.e. 2011). My friend ordered a few dishes from one of the popular 'Chu Char' Dishes from Kim Hooi Seafood for our dinner. While we were waiting to be served, my friend ordered a few sticks of satay which were made up of chicken, mutton and beef flavors from the Rahman Satay Stall. We had the Rahman Satays as our starters. I found that the Rahman Satays were very tasty and delicious. The Rahman Satay Stall is located at the right hand side of the 2828 Cafe along Perak Road.

I always patronize the 2828 Cafe during the day time for the Beef Koay Teow Soup (http://eatoutsam.blogspot.com/2010/11/popular-beef-koay-teow-soup-2828-cafe.html).

After tasting the yummy Rahman Satay, I craved for it and went there again. This time I was well prepared and armed with a camera to take snaps of the Rahman Satays.

No. 08 : Ice Lemongrass Juice

RM1.50 per Glass

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

I love this Ice Lemongrass Juice and it was so pleasant and refreshing with a mild taste of sweetness together the fragrance of lemongrass.

It can be served as a welcome drink. I was given to understand that the stalks of lemongrass, slices of ginger and pandan leaves were placed in a pot with water and brought to boil. Slight sugar was added to taste. Too much sugar will drown the aroma of lemongrass, ginger and pandan leaves. Nowadays a lot of people claimed that the lemongrass therapeutic drink will bring health benefits such as detoxify the body, improve blood circulation, anti-cancer, high antioxidant, reduce blood pressure & cholesterol, ease arthritic pain and etc.

It is a kind of Thai Style Omelette with the usage of Cha Om.

It can be eaten raw too. Only the soft tops of the stalks are edible. Cha Om Omelette is also popular among the Burmese too. Some people claimed that it has a sulfurous smell but to my surprise when i tasted the Cha Om Omelette, it did not yeild that smell and was tasted like heaven to me. Perhaps when it cooked, the sulfurous smell has been eliminated. It is best eaten with . It is best eaten with a squirt of chili sauce (sauce prik).

This dish was filled with 3 sauteed prawns and celliphone noodles (glass noodles) in a special blended savory sauce which was mainly made up of minced garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce and dark soy sauce. All the sauce has been absorbed by the glass noodles. They were served semi dry and slightly sticky. Fresh cilantro was sprinkled on top.

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

If you are a meat lover, you will definately love this thick hunk of Grilled Rib-Eye Steak. It was well marinated and then grilled to accentuate the flavors. I did request the chef to grill the steak to medium-rare. The Rib-Eye Steak was grilled to prefection and so succulent. Oh! Boy! It was so yummylicious!

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The belly of Salmon was carefully grilled and not to be over cooked. A few drops of marinated sauce was added while grilling to make ensure that it taste delicious. In fact, it does not need much of it for condiment and is great to eat with a squeeze of lime.

Be warned - It is advisable to let kids or elderly people to miss this belly part of salmon because of the bones in it.

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

It is very similar to Chicken Cordon Bleu. Instead of using chicken meat, the chef used thin slice of pork to envelope the ham and cheese. Dipped it in beaten egg and coated it with breadcrumbs before deep fried until golden brown coloour. The melted cheese oozed out like lava when you cut it into half.

Within this year, surprisingly a number of Thailand Restaurants have sprung up in Pulau Tikus area and Sukhothai Beef Noodles House is one of latest.

Sukhothai Beef Noodles House is situated along the business two way traffic of Jalan Burmah.

Thai Style Iced Green Tea with Milk @ RM4.90 per Glass

Sweet & Sour Roselie Juice @ RM4.90 per Glass

The Drinks are not diluted and semi-thick. The taste of Sour Roseline Juice is very similar to our local cordial syrup drink 'Ribena Grapes'. It is very refreshing and thirst-quenching drink. Mixing Green Tea together with Milk which will give you a amazing taste.

No. 06 : Thai Sauces - Dried Chili Powder, Fish Sauce, Sugar and Wet Chili Paste

No. 09 : Sukhothai Beef Noodles (Original) served with Beef Meat Balls, Small Chuck of Beef Meats, Beef Tendons and Chopped Coriander

RM12.90 per Bowl

Note : Sukhothai Beef Noodles are available with 3 Choices of Noodles (i.e. Original, Glass Noodles or Instant Noodles)

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

I love the 3 different textures of beef. Be rest assured that the small chuck of beef meats and beef tendons are tender. Besides that it does not have heavy scent of beef. The soup is made of fish sauce, selected herbs and beef stock. I was told by the owner of the restaurant that a few pieces of rock sugar is added into it to make soup taste with mild sweetness. You may add Dried Chili Powder as condiment to the soup and also to make it more spicy.

The Americans call it by it's Spanish name 'Cilantro' while the English call it 'Coriander'. It refer to the same herb. The leaves are commonly used to garnish soups. Coriander yield a very strong smell and taste and I have found that not many people really love it.

No. 10 : A Basket of Raw Bean Sprouts and Thai Basil Leaves

A basket full of raw bean sprouts and thai basil leaves are provided for those who wish to add to their Beef Noodles or Fish Maw Soups.

No. 11 : Sukhothai Beef Noodles (Glass Noodles) served with Beef Meat Balls, Small Chuck of Beef Meats, Beef Tendon and Chopped Coriander

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The Chef is using the same soup base for this dish but with Glass Noodles ('Tang Hoon'). The taste is slightly very similar to Japanese Sukiyaki Beef because of mild sweetness but unfortunately you will not find any slices beef instead of small chuck of beef meats. The Cellophane noodles aka Glass Noodles go well with the soup and also are truely irresistible! Do not miss out this dish when you are dining there.

No. 12 : Fish Maw Soup

RM19.90 per Pot

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The taste of this Fish Maw Soup reminded me of the Thai Style Shark Fin Soup when I stepped into Hatyai Town of Thailand which is a city in southern Thailand near the Malaysian Border in the early 70s. Fish Maws are used instead of using Shark Fins which will save millions of sharks from being finned each year. Not forgetting to add Raw Bean Sprouts and Thai Basil Leaves into the mini pot.

No. 13 : Pad Thai

RM12.90 per Plate

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

RM12.90 per Plate

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

The Cooked Thai Rice is used for this dish. The look of this dish is very similar to the Chinese Golden Fried Rice by using egg yolks only to create this dish. While frying the rice, fish sauce was added and the result was amazing - bursting with flavour.

No. 14 : Thai Dessert - Mango Sticky Rice served with Slices of Ripened Yellowish Mango, Black Glutinous Rice/Black Sticky Rice (Chut-Bi - used to make Bee Koh Moy) and Sticky Rice together with fresh coconut milk (santan)

RM4.90 per Bowl

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Very Good)

This Banana Sago is creamy with coconut milk and sweet. If you love Bubur Cha-Cha you will definately enjoying eating this as your dessert after finishing your main course.

No. 16 : Thai Dessert - Durian Sticky Rice served with

RM8.90 per Bowl

Rating of the Taste : 4/5

Santorini Cafe @ Jalan Burma, Penang (Pork Free). 30 Jul 2011 12:21 AM (13 years ago)

Santorini ? What is that ? A lot of locals will start to wonder what is 'Santorini'. Well, Santorini is an island located in the southern Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey. During the thirteenth (13th) century, the Latin Empire named it 'Santorini'. Before it was known as Kallístē (The Most Beautiful One), Strongýlē (The Circular One) or Thēra. I assume that how the proprietors of Santorini Cafe have found a meaningful word for it and named the cafe after the island.

Santorini Cafe is located at No. 94, Burmah Road, 10050 George Town, Penang. It is situated on the left hand side of Burmah Road as you travell along Burmah Road from Penang Road. It is a few doors away after a tall brown building of Chew Thean Yeang Aquarium Sdn Bhd aka CTY Aquarium which is a Pet Shop.

Glossy, Soft & Chewy Jellies Chendol @ MPPP Tapak Penjaja Lebuh Cecil, Penang. 23 Jul 2011 12:07 PM (13 years ago)

Chendol is commonly sold by the street vendors or food court and also one of the most favourite desserts among the Malaysians. Chendol are served in a cold mixture of coconut milk, brown syrup made from the local gula melaka and shaved ice. It is thirst quencher and lovely dessert for hot and humid days.

I would like to share a delicious soft and chewy jellies Chendol with you. The Chendol Stall has been existed in the MPPP Tapak Penjaja Lebuh Cecil (Food Court) which has been located at Cecil Street, Penang, for many years and not many Penangites or others are aware of this Chendol Stall. Cecil Street is known as '7th Street' to the local.

You have to enter the last side entrance of the MPPP Tapak Penjaja Lebuh Cecil (Food Court) along Lebuh McNair or near the junction of Lebuh McNair and Lebuh Herriot. As you enter into the Food Court, you will notice a Nyonya Kuih Stall and the Chendol Stall is just right behind it.

How do you define a delicious Chendol ??? Well, for me I will look into the texture of the jellies Chendol. I would prefer not to have a lot rice flour the in jellies Chendol. Besides that they must glossy, smooth and chewy.

Durian Feast @ Stone House Plantation (Rumah Batu), Sg Pinang, Balik Pulau, Penang. 11 Jul 2011 9:08 AM (13 years ago)

Durian Feast at the Stone House Plantation (Rumah Batu) which is located at the southwest hilly regions of Penang Island, is a durian orchard consist of 3.6 ha and was arranged by my friend Ms. Grace Lim. Some durian trees are more than five decades old. Normally the old durian trees will bear more tasty and delicious fruits.

It is not easy to locate because it is off the main road. Some claimed that the fertile hill soil, temperature and rainfall makes it ideal for durian cultivation. Durian is a forest fruit and eating it in a natural village surround is a different experience together. Some prefer to squat beside the road-side while licking their fingers away just like enjoying Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Over the years, the popularity of Penang’s durians which is known as KING of Fruits has attracted thousands, both Malaysians and foreigners, to visit Penang Island to savour the fresh fruits at the farms.

It was fine Sunday morning on 19^th June 2011, Ms. Bea Chia, Ms. Grace Lim, Ms. Liann Chong Mr. Gianfranco Prati, Ms. Grace Lim’s Brother & Sister-In-Laws and myself gathered at Jalan Lim Lean Teng. At 10.00 am we made our way to Stone House Plantation (Rumah Batu) which is located in the midst hills at Balik Pulau by waving through the busy road of Jalan Air Itam. We took a shorter distance to Balik Pulau by using Jalan Tun Sardon.

Before reaching the little town of Balik Pulau near the 'Kompleks Pasar Awam Balik Pulau' of Lintang Bukit Penara 1 the smell of durian greeted us. The smell was getting stronger as we were passing Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Chong Teik. Durian Stalls were erected along the road infront of the school. The rubbish centre and bins were filled with unwanted durian skins.

The sleeping township of Balik Pulau were invaded and wakened by durian lovers and it became alive. Again we had to drive through the heavy narrow traffic road of Balik Pulau to turn off into Jalan Sungai Pinang. As we turned into Jalan Sungai Pinang, the flow of the traffic was smoother with less vehicles and the heavy durian scent started to fade.

After passing Sekolah Menangah Kebangsaan Sg Pinang, there was a huge signage showing the direction to Pantai Acheh at the T Junction, we turned into Jalan Pantai Acheh. We passed by a small wet market which is located on our left hand side and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Sin Min which is located on our right hand side.

As we were passing by the chinese school and wet market, we came across a bridge. We turned into the off road on our right hand side immediately after crossing the bridge. That off road which allows one vehicle only and will lead us to Stone House Plantation (Rumah Batu).

While travelling along the off road, we enjoyed the cool fresh air and the shades of the tall fruit trees. Upon reaching the neighbourhood with the rubble pitching wall, we were about 100 ft away from the entrance to Stone House Plantation (Rumah Batu). The entrance was on the right hand side with a small concrete bridge built across the narrow stream. There were signages along the path showing the direction to the Stone House Plantation (Rumah Batu). As we travelled along the path, we found the erected Stone House (Rumah Batu) on the gentle slope.

No. 04 : The Preparation & Brewing of Coffee

The 4 common basic steps of preparing coffee are as follows; Coffee may be purchased unprocessed, or already roasted, or already roasted and ground. Nowadays coffee is often vacuum packed to prevent oxidation and also from losing its properties (i.e. strength). The ground coffee is mixed with hot boiling water for it to brew, and the unwanted gounds will be separated from the liquid coffee for drinking.

In the Full of Beans, you can find that they are using siphone method which is also known as vacuum brewing as shown in one of pictures above. The whole setup appratus of brewing reminds me of the science laboratory during my schoold days. It consists of two chambers: a pot below, atop which is set a bowl or funnel with its siphon descending nearly to the bottom of the pot. The bottom of the bowl is blocked by a filter of glass, cloth or plastic, and the bowl and pot are joined by a gasket that forms a tight seal. Water is placed in the pot, the coffee grounds are placed in the bowl, and the whole apparatus is set over a burner. As the water heats, it is forced by the increasing vapor pressure up the siphon and into the bowl where it mixes with the grounds. When all the water possible has been forced into the bowl the brewer is removed from the heat. As the water vapor in the pot cools, it contracts, forming a partial vacuum and drawing the coffee down through the filter.

Besides the siphon method, there is also another unusual way of processing the coffee which is called Iced Drip Coffee or also known as cold brew coffee. It is done by using a pot of water above a bin of coffee grounds and filter, the water will then slowly drip through the coffee grounds at a rate of about two drips per second. This seeps through the coffee and filter, eventually spinning down the condensation tubes and into a waiting beaker.

1) Brazil Santos (RM9.50 per Cup) - More suitable for beginners to go with,

2) Mandheling (RM9.50 per Cup) - This is one is stronger than the Brazil Santos.

3) Mocha (RM9.50 per Cub) - Among the 3, Mocha has the strongest aroma and thickest taste.

4) Ice Drip Coffee (RM15.00 per Cub) - Ice Drip Coffee is different from the above because it is served cold. If you are local coffee lover, you will know the taste of the local coffee which are kept in the refrigerator from the Kopitam (Coffee Shop).The taste is a bit sourish as the coffee itself has been fermented.

You will be advised not take your coffee without added sugar because the desserts are already sweet and not to overshadow it. Sweet Forest is serving all kinds of dessert to the diners to savour as a complement to Full of Beans and also offers a selection of sweet treats.

Filled with vanilla cream & topped with strawberry, kiwi rose berry or other fruits.

No. 11 : French Petits Four - Choc Chocolate

Pastry with topping of chocolate.

No. 12: French Petits Four - Paris Racing Cicle

With a few pieces of almond flakes on top of the Paris Racing Cicle with fillings. It is not puffy like Choc Chocolate or Cappuccino Puff.

No. 13 : French Petits Four - Cappuccino Puff

Cappuccino Puff is very similar to cream puff with cream filled inside it with the flavour of Cappuccino added on top of it. It was tasty inside my mouth and I love it.

No. 14 : Strawberry Layer Cheese Cake

6 ins : RM42.00 / 9 ins : RM75.00

Fresh strawberry fruits was covered on the top of this cake and the side was full of almond flakes. Layers of cheese were found in between and cookie base at the bottom. Right combination with strawberry flavour always yields good taste.

The cake is made with pandan, layered with cheese and cookies base. Pandanus Amaryllifolius which is a tropical plant and commonly found in the garden or backyard.

Frankly speaking I love the cheese cake with the padan flavoring but not with the coconut flakes.

No. 16 : Semolina Cake

6 ins : RM35.00 / 9 ins : RM58.00

Rating of the Taste : 3/5

This dish is a bit spicy. Lately Kam Heong Crab was added in the Menu of Pang (Hainan) Seafood. You will find the crabs are cooked with curry leaves, sliced onions, dried salted shrimps together with turmeric curry paste or powder. Butter and evaporated milk should be added to it towards the end of the cooking to enhence the fragrance.

RM6.00 per 100g

(Note : Min Order 2 Nos)

Rating of the Taste : 3/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Excellent)

This Dish was very well presented. I found too much sliced onions and green pepper in this dish. I prefer the black pepper to be coarsed instead of fine. In order to get the tastes extremely pungent and spicy of the black pepper.

No. 10 : Sweet & Sour Crab

RM6.00 per 100g

(Note : Min Order 2 Nos)

Rating of the Taste : 3/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Excellent)

Cautious! Chilli Padi which is also known as Bird's eye chilli has been used in this dish. Chilli Padi are largely used in the Thai Cuisine. It will add special fragrance to the dish and also burning hot sensation to the food. Normally for this dish, the gravy is rich with sweet and sour flavour together with beaten egg. When I tasted this dish I felt like I was in Thailand.

Rating of the Taste : 3/5

Note : 1-2 (Poor) / 3 (Average) / 4 (Good) / 5 (Excellent)

I felt that the prawns did not marinate well enough because of the shell. The shell of the prawns at the middle section between the head and tail should be removed or made a slit down the prawn's back. While slitting the prawn's back, the intestines can be removed too. By doing that it will be able to marinate well together with the ingrediants before cooking.

No. 15 : Deep Fried Sotong (Squid)

RM17.00 per Medium Plate

By adding a little bit of turmeric curry paste or powder to it, will make the taste a lot of difference. This dish pairs well with Beer.

RM2.00 Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) @ Jalan Kuala Kangsar, Penang (Non-Halal) 17 Jun 2011 10:37 PM (13 years ago)

On the early morning of 17th June 2011, I decided to explore along Chowrasta Road and Kuala Kangsar Road and check out the Hawkers Stalls of Curry Mee, Chee Cheong Jook (Cantonese Congee Style) and others too. The Curry Mee Stall is still there. Chee Cheong Jook (Cantonese Congee Style)Stall was closed.

In fact, I have not been there for a long time. During my childhood days, I used to stay with Uncle at Chowrasta Road during my long school days. I enjoyed every moment with my cousins. A lot things have changed because of the time.

As i strolled along Kuala Kangsar Road, I noticed a familar face at the Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) Stall and realised that the Hawker of Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) who was formerly operating in Kheng Pin Cafe at the junction of Penang Road and Sri Bahari Road. I was given to understand that he has moved out of the cafe for 8 years. Last time i used to patronized his stall. He has a other twin brother who looks almost like each other (Identical Twins) and he is operating in a Coffee Shop at Free School Road.

This time you will not find any mushroom on top of the Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) as he used to do that when he was at Kheng Pin Cafe. I had a light conversation with him regarding the mushroom and he told me that it was too expensive to put the mushroom together with the Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) because the price of good mushroom has gone up around RM100.00 per kg and it was too taxing for him to do so. So he has decided to make the Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) affordable for everyone.

No. 10 : A Hot Cup of Kopi 'O' Kaw

RM0.80 per Cup

The taste of the Kopi 'O' Kaw is acceptable. Most of the Coffee Shop Operators are charging RM0.90 to RM1.10 per Hot Cup of Kopi 'O' Kaw.

I was very glad that until todate I still can find something C&G (Cheap & Good) in the Heart of George Town on that morning and also have a good satisfying breakfast too.

Believe it or Not !!!

Most of the Hawkers are charging RM2.50 to RM3.00 for a small plate/bowl in the Heart of George Town and it is hardly to get this Wan Tan Mee (Noodle) for RM2.00.

The Launching of Carlsberg's ACE Program was kicked off smoothly accordingly to the schedule.

Carlsberg Malaysia has designed a brand new trade programme, known as the “A” Class Experience (ACE) Program for its supportive trade partners in recognition of their continuous support and effective partner ship. ACE Program is a series of educational and practical training that is aimed at assisting F&B operators in raising the bar to meet the growing expectations of customers in today’s competitive industry.

ACE Program syllabus consist of both off-site and classroom training that will equip Carlsberg Malaysia’s trade partners with a better understanding of the brands under Carlsberg Malaysia as well as day-to-day bar operation skills and customer service excellence. In addition to that, participants will also be able to experience exclusive training with World Class Brewers.

Carlsberg Malaysia will reward the best performing participant of this ACE Program with a fully paid 14-day trip cum practical training to the Jacobsen Brewery and Visitor’s Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark in the year 2012.

All of these training are made at no cost to the trade partners as Carlsberg Malaysia would like to ensure that this training will benefit the trade partners’ business. This is to showcase that Carlsberg Malaysia is 100% behind its trade partners that made Carlsberg Malaysia the preferred beer brand among its trade partners in Malaysia.

This training session will be conducted in 3 regions i.e. Penang, Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur to allow exposure to various participants from different georgraphic regions. All these sessions include concise brand knowledge; technical and practical training that is aimed at providing a better understanding of the brands that their outlets represent.

Apart from that, there will also be a half day session on customer service excellence. This module will provide participants the techniques to improve service standards in their outlets.

Outlet Evaluation – Carlsberg Malaysia will deploy a special taskforce to go around participating outlets and collect feedback from consumers on their preferred bar team / bar outlet. These feedback will be translated into an inter-outlet challenge whereby the top preferred outlet will walk away with a RM30,000 event sponsorship. In addition to that, this special taskforce will educate consumers on the appreciation of the perfect Carlsberg draught beer and promote upcoming Carlsberg promotions.
Digital Activation – A dedicated Facebook application that allows Carlsberg Malaysia’s trade partners to constantly monitor their outlets’ preferential ratings by consumers on real time basis.
