Fried Jawa Mee at Selara Sim, Bayan Lepas, Penang

Tweet

It had been my favorite lunch during my position at Bayan Lepas. This is the first fried jawa noodle i had tasted and it is the best so far. Love the fried jawa noodle sold here cause it have the fried aroma of the noodle and the sour and sweet jawa sauce. 

It is one of the hawker stall at Selara Sim at Jalan Tengah. 

The kopitiam is peak of people during lunch time. So you might have trouble finding a table.

This is the common mee jawa, RM3.50 with extra prawn fritters. I not a fan of this type of Mee Jawa because of the alkali taste of the yellow noodle. Beside that the dish is so so only.

My fried jawa noodle, RM3.00. After fried the alkali taste reduce and it also produce a "wok aroma" which increase yummyness of the dish. I love to add sauce for my fried noodle even mee goreng. So fried jawa mee come with sauce so it definitely my bowl of noodle. 

It is definately worth a try. I highly recommended this dish. After lunch you can go for dessert as well. Soya bean along Jalan Tengah.

The Opening of 55 Cafe at Lorong Stewart in Penang

Tweet

More and more small, cozy and theme cafe is blooming in Penang. Feel like Penang is not only famous for it cheap hawker food anymore, now this whole new trend in Penang is conquering Penang heritage area. Here let me bring you to a new Heritage Cafe that replace the Kopi Cine Cafe, 55 Cafe & Restaurant. It is located along Lorong Stewar, behind the Goddess of Mercy Temple (One of the famous Penang heritage tour attraction).

They still maintain this old signboard cause the owner like the old design element it contain.

The outlook of 55 Cafe & Restaurant.

Clockwise: 1- The operating hour of the Cafe. 2- Opposite view of the 55 Cafe & Restaurant. 3, 4- Upstairs dinning area.

Below are the ambient of 55 Cafe & Restaurant. 

Clockwise: 1- Caramel Hot Chocolate, RM10+. 2- The Chamomile Dream, RM9+. 3- Vanilla Ice Cream, Banana and Chocolate Chips Milkshake, RM16+. 4- There was your ice water, they put a whole lemon in the water to get the aroma of the lemon. Too bad they never clear the lemon properly so my water contain some dirt.

Clockwise: 1- Since it was the soft opening for 55 Cafe & Restaurant so we get a to try out their FREE tapas. 2- Aubergines (eggplant), Tomato and Garlic, RM9+. The eggplant was well grilled before blend. So if they don't tell you will never know that is a eggplant. This one was good. 3- Grilled Eggplant, RM9+. Another eggplant tapas with totally different flavor.  4- Chicken Liver Pate, RM14+. This tapas was first tried at Agua. I like here better cause not as creamy as Agua.

This was one of the best dish of the day, Gambas Aljillo, RM13+. Fresh prawn with pesto type of sauce, it taste SUPER GOOD until the last drop.

Al Chef, RM28+. It was actually pan fried Sea Bass fillet spaghetti.

Aglio Olio with Smoked Salmon, RM25+. This dish was on the expensive side cause there are only 2 little pieces of Smoked Salmon in the plate.

Spaghetti Carbonara, RM22+. It was a common dish that can find any place. I ordered this because i want to know how good a simple dish was cooked.

Which one i loved best? I will have to go for Spaghetti Carbonara.

Chocolate Coffee Cake, RM6+.

Baked Cheese Cake, RM9+. It was too expensive for such a small piece but i heard the boss had adjusted the pricing the portion of the cake. The cake taste OK.

Another Cheese cake was introduced by the lady boss was this. She planning to sell this at 55 Cafe & Restaurant.

This one definitely better then the previous cheese cake. Price should be higher then :)

Hot Latte, RM8+. They served really good Latte. I was told that both the boss is a coffee lover, so their vision is to sell the best coffee in Penang. I believe they do :)

Below are some shoots on the interior of the hotel. Price range is between RM300 ~ RM400.

Overall experience dinning at 55 Cafe & Restaurant was good but the pricing is average at RM50 per pax. I believe good food don't come cheap

Tweet

Meal by the beach, listening to the sea breeze, soft warm sun blushing your face, feet on the white soft sand, during evening you can enjoy the spectacular sunset view, during dark hour you can enjoy your beer while counting the star. Yeah you can find all this in Penang, Batu Ferringhi. Formally named as sunset Bistro up at Bayu Senja, Batu Ferringhi area. After the fire, they just relocated to a new place by the name Bora Bora by Sunset. 

This is the back view of the Bora Bora by Sunset. It look cozy and simple. All the material that build this place are the leftovers from Sunset Bistro or recycled items. 

There are alot of ways to capture all the beautiful scenes of the Bora Bora by Sunset. Below are some of them:

Same item from different angle got different effect, don't they?

Below are shots next to the beach.

Interviewing the owner, Miss Melynda Soon and the main chef of Bora Bora by Sunset, Chef Mady Ahmad.

I wish i could have a long holiday watching this :) 

Two doggies were fighting in front of me while I was taking shots of the sunset. Sadly that day too many clouds. 

My banana milkshake while everyone else is enjoying their beer :(

Fruit punch by the sunset, how relaxing :)

Salmon Fish Roll, very appetizing starter. 

Another good starter is this pizza stick. 

Special soup of the day, orange soup :)

Sexy leg in the bar, I love the special sauce which come with it. Sour, sweet and tasty. They go well with the prawn.

This is not just a simple fried rice, it is Bora bora special fried rice. Simple but good :)

Baked potato with creamy seafood, love the creamy seafood inside the baked potato. It's a must try dish at Bora Bora by Sunset.

Who doesn't like banana being split? 

Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream, love the chewy brownie :)

Pancake with ice cream.

Another version of Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream.

During night time it is definitely a good place for romantic and loving couple to be.
