However in recent years, more dim sum outlets are sprouting in Jelutong area and the latest addition is <b>Cui Xiang Lou Dim Sum (翠香楼点心)</b> near to Jalan Perak morning market. The restaurant has 2 areas for dining, an outdoor area and an air-conditioned indoor area. Personally, we preferred the outdoor area due to better lighting and not so cramp. As for the menu, 翠香楼点心 is serving the conventional selections of dim sum, ranging from Siu Mai, Har Mai, Har Gao, egg tarts, Char Siew Pao and a few more you can name. They also offer a range of stir-fried noodles. Well, as much as we appreciated another neighbourhood dim sum restaurant, the dim sum did not impress and we find no reason for a returning visit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kATbVBgS94/X2pIFQ-07kI/AAAAAAAAf3c/A31LmDkfCg0zHK5bmTNCMmSTH9J9go3oQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3247.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jalan Perak Dim Sum - Cui Xiang Lou Dim Sum 翠香楼点心" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kATbVBgS94/X2pIFQ-07kI/AAAAAAAAf3c/A31LmDkfCg0zHK5bmTNCMmSTH9J9go3oQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3247.JPG" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NNLEXK_8sTs/X2pILjxR89I/AAAAAAAAf3g/rnLYYMBK7r4NjrC5QKxn_SPQ7PLFyK1SgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jalan Perak Dim Sum - Cui Xiang Lou Dim Sum 翠香楼点心" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NNLEXK_8sTs/X2pILjxR89I/AAAAAAAAf3g/rnLYYMBK7r4NjrC5QKxn_SPQ7PLFyK1SgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3241.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xEFmmKoFBTo/X2pIL7opGHI/AAAAAAAAf3k/-LMs5pNB9YYEldTOdVPY3r9v_3Gp8Qc5gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jalan Perak Dim Sum - Cui Xiang Lou Dim Sum 翠香楼点心" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xEFmmKoFBTo/X2pIL7opGHI/AAAAAAAAf3k/-LMs5pNB9YYEldTOdVPY3r9v_3Gp8Qc5gCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3242.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At 翠香楼点心, all dim sums are displayed at the counter and you are to go to counter to order your desired dim sum. Should you have certain preferences, you may ask the crew to check its availability. We tried a few dim sum here and here is our verdict:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Siu Mai & Har Mai - a tad salty and not really having the nice meaty taste</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Egg Tarts - not impressive, lacking of nice custard and crust was thick</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Har Gao - dry and not exhibiting decent prawn flavour</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Char Siew Pao - not bad </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yam Puffs - normal</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lotus Seed Dim Sum - lack the aroma of lotus seed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, nothing much really impressive here and we rather travel a distance away to enjoy bettter dim sum.

The restaurant is located in Lebuh Presgrave, occupying a small lot that offer limited tables hence crowding may occur sometimes. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cFJygPxfAl0/X2MKSuqvyHI/AAAAAAAAf1o/Oe0f6EzJoBcvtkrx7_cGVU33v5fGeuxOgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3229.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Soo Guan Hainanese Restaurant @ Lebuh Presgrave Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cFJygPxfAl0/X2MKSuqvyHI/AAAAAAAAf1o/Oe0f6EzJoBcvtkrx7_cGVU33v5fGeuxOgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3229.JPG" /></a><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ggi1DKUt5sc/X2MKUUmFz-I/AAAAAAAAf1s/JSS-aIDTYUYG6HNHKGVOxCD1us2YZoZzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Soo Guan Hainanese Restaurant @ Lebuh Presgrave Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ggi1DKUt5sc/X2MKUUmFz-I/AAAAAAAAf1s/JSS-aIDTYUYG6HNHKGVOxCD1us2YZoZzwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3221.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">It is hard to find good <b>Hainanese Chicken Chop (RM 17.50)</b> nowadays so we came here to try out this purportedly renowned dish after knowing the restaurant existence. Indeed, the appearance did not disappoint - a seemingly nicely grilled chicken meat with brown gravy, then served along with fries, buns, lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. Undeniably the chef has done a great job with the crust and gravy but the chicken meat was too dry for our liking. We acknowledged if chicken breast is being used then it will be dried, but the version here was way too off the norm. The marination of the chicken meat is lacking in our humble opinion. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Well, everything was good for the Hainanese Chicken Chop but sadly the under-seasoned and dry chicken meat killed off the good work.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r1TIcFaOSPQ/X2MKnnTJeZI/AAAAAAAAf14/lQLExEk7M-A49dPeP36mgXoQC_ZUH6WhQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3225.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Soo Guan Hainanese Restaurant @ Lebuh Presgrave Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r1TIcFaOSPQ/X2MKnnTJeZI/AAAAAAAAf14/lQLExEk7M-A49dPeP36mgXoQC_ZUH6WhQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3225.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Another dish that caught our attention was <b>Mee Hailam (RM 12.90)</b>. It looks good and I think they used a different type of yellow noodles that yielded better taste and texture. The overall noodles taste is okay but we feel the sauce was under-seasoned compared to other version of Mee Hailam we tasted elsewhere.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xqBBw5D3oWU/X2McOgQvMXI/AAAAAAAAf2A/fWA5y8Ur1dExT2mr91RZqrkPXKzllIsjgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3219.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Soo Guan Hainanese Restaurant @ Lebuh Presgrave Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xqBBw5D3oWU/X2McOgQvMXI/AAAAAAAAf2A/fWA5y8Ur1dExT2mr91RZqrkPXKzllIsjgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3219.JPG" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The <b>Butter Kaya Toast (RM 5.50)</b> was good - soft, fluffy and not too sweet. The only downside was the expensive price tag of RM 5.50 for breads.

We could taste the distinctive flavour of each layer, starting from the nicely grilled chicken, then to the stuffed chicken ham and sliced cheese. Then, the usage of creamy cheese sauce topping the grilled chicken cordon blue further enhanced its taste by rendering a sleek and rich sensation.

The fish fits its description of fresh salmon with flaky flesh and no faulty smell. However, if the butter cream sauce is richer in taste, perhaps with a tad more spices then it would have been better. Overall, it is an above average dish.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-itgeBvmBT3c/X1u_X0ZMADI/AAAAAAAAf0Y/wBSW8_Jj5V4GpPrsUdbOTDTO7U3UzddswCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135927e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R9pLeyPs5sk/X1u_X0ku_WI/AAAAAAAAf0c/16xgKVr1m-g4cigJYjljiG19PA1eDk6HwCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135934e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7viOK9RLNZ4/X1u_Y9O8YkI/AAAAAAAAf0k/IBIeR50EGngOYFGwNrBvs09KeFMIeALagCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135937e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1hTQ0-NlWlg/X1u_ZA9jTcI/AAAAAAAAf0o/e4OECZ7IXSE0CUhT0oYibcEj2q-sGFBBQCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135941e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-71hLf1wfZN0/X1u_ZPEGZVI/AAAAAAAAf0s/Ybhg72XtLFcqVQRVIZgkqAbftnI9--yzACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135950e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8zQkvMPaz4/X1u_Z8jDxpI/AAAAAAAAf0w/HP4w-FI0Q24X7SgJbcE7VW08EAn_pS0EwCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135953e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vvUCVKf872Q/X1u_Z68JwLI/AAAAAAAAf00/Grwn3AmzRNEekT9nTB1ys-gSvMrapjWngCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_135957e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Xii Chan Western Food @ Kampung Malabar, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--iylAi9RyMk/X1u_aC7vneI/AAAAAAAAf04/MOK1OaRJCmAmI3PTh0Xx5p9ZrSiYNHJJACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200909_140006e.jpg" width="480" /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Overall, Xii Chan is a decent place to grab some nice Western dishes should you feel to give a skip to conventional Penang delights sometimes.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>Xii Chan</b></i></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/92X5rsPB5UoprKq89">22, Kampong Malabar, 10200 George Town, Pulau Pinang</a></i></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>+60127829882</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Operation hours: 11am - 10pm (rest between 3pm - 5.30pm on weekedays)</i></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">Follow us for latest Crisp of Life updates at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crispoflife?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crispoflife/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">Check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shirleenvv/" target="_blank">Shirleen</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eepin88/" target="_blank">Ee Pin</a>'s Instagram for more beautiful photos we have taken.</div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Shirleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008129686385389183noreply@blogger.com022, Kampong Malabar, George Town, 10200 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia5.4189883 100.3330488-22.891245536178847 65.1767988 33.729222136178848 135.4892988tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485948681979656332.post-42651945741872799692020-09-12T02:29:00.004+08:002020-09-12T02:29:53.684+08:00Eat All You Can - Treasures of The Sea A-La Carte Buffet Dinner with Salmon Madness<p style="text-align: justify;">Missing to enjoy buffet since Malaysia has gone into phases of Movement Control Order?

Recently, the cafe expanded its food menu by introducing more than 10 different exciting dishes. These new addition now allows another level of enjoyment - pairing great coffee with delicious food. On top of that, the new menu also offers highly "Instagrammable" features with unique visual appeal that definitely fit well into your Instagram feeds. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPz6ol_dfVU/X1kl-srtf7I/AAAAAAAAf0A/PpV7EERQ_WA6I0YBvPoTv-YWGxqTFz3FACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6299.JPG" /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Thanks to Frank Laurent for having us to try the new menu.</i></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aW0oq2OG99I/X1kl8EtBTQI/AAAAAAAAfzo/la2XyTHT-MU4qUyPVmRkKIDY1GYckd4nwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6284.JPG" /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">One of our favourite of the newly introduced dish is the Mediterranean inspired <b>Shakshuka</b>. Reason being the dish is so appetizing, attributed by the sauce made from tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, a variety of spices which offers a sense of pleasant tanginess. It is served with a piece of bread that goes well with the sauce.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WDa9Z5ZEsL8/X1kl9xhLYXI/AAAAAAAAfz4/DrB-tCpxj38mA0qd19d1A06-SnnKcse3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6294.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WDa9Z5ZEsL8/X1kl9xhLYXI/AAAAAAAAfz4/DrB-tCpxj38mA0qd19d1A06-SnnKcse3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6294.JPG" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you would like to have a dish that goes well in both photo and palate, then order the <b>Truffle Curly Fries</b>. This simple dish with potato fries has been elevated in taste by incorporating truffle, making the dish unleashing an unique aroma. Surprisingly, this dish with its creative combination of colour and plating also look well in photos.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OYtGAkfk1-g/X1kl-dDl9uI/AAAAAAAAfz8/9bLHC_tyikMJg6xI_KCw2JKCQa90kBAOQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6296.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OYtGAkfk1-g/X1kl-dDl9uI/AAAAAAAAfz8/9bLHC_tyikMJg6xI_KCw2JKCQa90kBAOQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6296.JPG" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_UN2EMcIzYE/X1kl80sdPyI/AAAAAAAAfzs/ensxs4CrzfoQcZ0KvQbY2L_kmxV8lwx3QCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6287.JPG" /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another new dish we managed to try is <b>Smoked Duck Pasta </b>and it is suitable for those with bigger appetite due to its generous portion! The smoked duck also came in big cuts and cooked to nice texture - nice meaty texture and juicy. An alternative to a more stomach fulfilling dish and artistically satisfying too is <b>Unagi Ikura Sourdough</b>. Don't underestimate its seemingly small portion. Usage of sourdough made the dish supply the necessary energy for the day, especially for ladies.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zbv1O6oPs4s/X1klIGY-WHI/AAAAAAAAfzE/tqdZ_ReaKOsThhsUsM_popB6FihKb5pcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6310.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zbv1O6oPs4s/X1klIGY-WHI/AAAAAAAAfzE/tqdZ_ReaKOsThhsUsM_popB6FihKb5pcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6310.JPG" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mVCued8JNPs/X1kl9WmRj4I/AAAAAAAAfz0/lnjppIOYPAwMJIpetEq3h47uz6JQnOCsgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6291.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mVCued8JNPs/X1kl9WmRj4I/AAAAAAAAfz0/lnjppIOYPAwMJIpetEq3h47uz6JQnOCsgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSC_6291.JPG" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W7sTymQBhLI/X1kl8NVw2HI/AAAAAAAAfzg/45i-ipymF1kT-09o8HuCow0a65aeGZKMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3144.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W7sTymQBhLI/X1kl8NVw2HI/AAAAAAAAfzg/45i-ipymF1kT-09o8HuCow0a65aeGZKMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3144.JPG" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Huj81Waweu8/X1kl8D9t-sI/AAAAAAAAfzk/CedtMcf1oucBuCJHGAxVOnWZhs-uJND9wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3125.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="New Menu Launched by Frank Laurent Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Huj81Waweu8/X1kl8D9t-sI/AAAAAAAAfzk/CedtMcf1oucBuCJHGAxVOnWZhs-uJND9wCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/DSCF3125.JPG" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is a surprise to us when we learnt that Frank Laurent cafe actually makes their own gelato, and it is being used to top up their <b>Yogurt Panna Cotta</b>.

Currently, you can enjoy up to 50% off every Tuesday till 15th September 2020 during dining in Ăn Viet Gurney Plaza, and you can get a RM 10 discount voucher when you take a picture of you enjoying the pho and share it to social media. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Thanks to Ăn Viet for extending the invitation</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nFzc6kZP35s/X0VRG6QQhFI/AAAAAAAAfwk/Ln6fRTDsTEYdg6E7R1BB1Lj4v-OP7ZQrACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6361.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Savour the Beefiest Pho @ Ăn Viet, Gurney Plaza Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nFzc6kZP35s/X0VRG6QQhFI/AAAAAAAAfwk/Ln6fRTDsTEYdg6E7R1BB1Lj4v-OP7ZQrACLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_6361.JPG" /></a></div><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dEBLWEHdfFI/X0VRVb17Z4I/AAAAAAAAfwo/hNI66-w4tDgOQapBg6HpCdfdbwGJg51RwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6362.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Savour the Beefiest Pho @ Ăn Viet, Gurney Plaza Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dEBLWEHdfFI/X0VRVb17Z4I/AAAAAAAAfwo/hNI66-w4tDgOQapBg6HpCdfdbwGJg51RwCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_6362.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oj9YaqCvNeE/X0VRtlJdz_I/AAAAAAAAfw8/3T-EbClV8RIT7B29zjlDahH4T4mxPzC9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6346.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Savour the Beefiest Pho @ Ăn Viet, Gurney Plaza Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oj9YaqCvNeE/X0VRtlJdz_I/AAAAAAAAfw8/3T-EbClV8RIT7B29zjlDahH4T4mxPzC9gCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_6346.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NCG8JlEIfVY/X0VRu5btZsI/AAAAAAAAfxE/aC0fn-L-hwgmAnA5u9JejcRrvPewZatYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6356.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Savour the Beefiest Pho @ Ăn Viet, Gurney Plaza Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NCG8JlEIfVY/X0VRu5btZsI/AAAAAAAAfxE/aC0fn-L-hwgmAnA5u9JejcRrvPewZatYgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_6356.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The elevation in taste of the beef soup is attributed to 3 different type of premium beef and beef bones being used to cook it.

If you enjoy beef, suggest you go for the first option as it has all the elements in the same bowl : handmade 100% pure beef ball, premium ribeye beef, beef brisket, honeycomb tripe and tendon. Well, the best is still the beef soup. Add on some basil and sprouts for another depth of flavour.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pD0EuEOutxY/X0VReFUbqjI/AAAAAAAAfww/MOP3mVrqepohsliDYSwZkiVy1mXU2A09gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_6358.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Savour the Beefiest Pho @ Ăn Viet, Gurney Plaza Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pD0EuEOutxY/X0VReFUbqjI/AAAAAAAAfww/MOP3mVrqepohsliDYSwZkiVy1mXU2A09gCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_6358.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Apart of Pho, Ăn Viet also serves a variety of nice Vietnamese dishes.

The first is <b>Mince Pork Baked Scallops (RM 32)</b>, which is an interesting dish as we seldom see such combination. Mince Pork introduced a salty sensation to the firm big scallops, and somehow it tasted like having meatballs and scallops at the same time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another new dish is <b>Oven Grilled Squid (RM 28) </b>that best reflects Malaysian cuisine culture. The squid is cooked to perfection - firm and chewy, but not rubbery, which is easily sliced with a light touch of knife. It is coated with sweet sauce with a hint of spiciness which is soothing to the palate.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="Insanely Big Portion, Affordable and Delicious Food @ D' Fat Mona Lisa Cafe" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZJ2VkTanEMc/XzrWu5_nGgI/AAAAAAAAfsU/BfbGGZ9J2kcRCQYpCLVhlXAhSusBbKajgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_6198.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is tough to say which are the best dishes at D' Fat Mona Lisa Cafe as there are way too many dishes that captivated our appetite.

Its portion is huge, and the pork ribs are coated with a nice sweet sauce. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We believe there is hardly any restaurants out there able to serve this delicacy at this price.

Nevertheless, recently we came across a underrated roti canai stall at Jalan Perak morning market, near to the zebra crossing and traffic light. It is unlikely you will miss the stall, as the fluffy flat breads can be seen pilling at the stall in the wee hours.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GQC0QL62ZZM/XzY-mYuEEWI/AAAAAAAAfp8/9gdMdP2nrdQqhSeQFdKcD27-H85tpOylwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200705_062646e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Underrated Breakfast Roti Canai @ Jalan Perak Morning Market" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GQC0QL62ZZM/XzY-mYuEEWI/AAAAAAAAfp8/9gdMdP2nrdQqhSeQFdKcD27-H85tpOylwCLcBGAsYHQ/d/20200705_062646e.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2f6QlTuvG1c/XzY-nBzVtsI/AAAAAAAAfqA/0rnIMRPwRX0InnVIVnJ4_GaZxe9D3dbSgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20200705_064004e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Underrated Breakfast Roti Canai @ Jalan Perak Morning Market" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2f6QlTuvG1c/XzY-nBzVtsI/AAAAAAAAfqA/0rnIMRPwRX0InnVIVnJ4_GaZxe9D3dbSgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/20200705_064004e.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The stall opens as early as 4am in usual days, but since implementation of MCO they only started their operation at 5am.

It is priced at neighbourhood friendly price tag at RM 1.20 per piece for normal Roti Canai.</div><div><br /></div><div>We enjoyed the nicely kneaded dough of the flat bread, resulting a fluffy and chewy texture.

The restaurant occupies 2 shop lots in Lebuh Bishop Penang, offering an unpretentious dining environment just like a casual Chinese restaurant. The menu in Auntie Gaik Lean offers a great number of Nyonya dishes, such as the classic Jiu Hu Char, Kiam Chai Ark, Asam Hae and many more. Even though the food here is labelled with a high price tag but rest assured it is well justified by the portion served, and of course the taste is fantastic which truly reflects the essence of Nyonya dishes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z6dm2mT2rQQ/XzTKSoOmTUI/AAAAAAAAfpE/R56AlOe02141NFhAYm5U7KJ1BoSBIwN2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Authentic Nyonya Food @ Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery, Lebuh Bishop, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z6dm2mT2rQQ/XzTKSoOmTUI/AAAAAAAAfpE/R56AlOe02141NFhAYm5U7KJ1BoSBIwN2QCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF3015.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YV8yjYHlE-s/XzTKUPh1tpI/AAAAAAAAfpI/l6krnaBlof8mzsu8q0lV8iDx-nUp5QzEQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Authentic Nyonya Food @ Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery, Lebuh Bishop, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YV8yjYHlE-s/XzTKUPh1tpI/AAAAAAAAfpI/l6krnaBlof8mzsu8q0lV8iDx-nUp5QzEQCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF3011.JPG" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The appetizers we ordered - <b>Cucur Udang (RM 14) </b>was served in big portion that probably can feed up to 4 people. It was nicely fried, and the accompanying chili sauce topped with peanut makes a perfect condiment for these crispy bites. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NP5ncR2Qi0Y/XzTKfiZXdZI/AAAAAAAAfpM/7vBpv1whze4xRLHRtb7s_sOeBeFsNOR_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Authentic Nyonya Food @ Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery, Lebuh Bishop, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NP5ncR2Qi0Y/XzTKfiZXdZI/AAAAAAAAfpM/7vBpv1whze4xRLHRtb7s_sOeBeFsNOR_wCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF3013.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the impressive dish here is <b>Sambal Brinjal (RM 15)</b>. Its sambal is so addictive and delicious to the extent we could have the sambal with white rice solely. This dish is a real vindication of the tagline by the restaurant - authentic Nyonya food as the spices are used distinctively and the food will have a fair balance of sweet, spicy, sour and salty.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RFWDk8dgs48/XzTKo8SKlrI/AAAAAAAAfpU/rcFgSIFWFoAUjeVJeqzGkfj_oM2MrO0TgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF3014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Authentic Nyonya Food @ Auntie Gaik Lean's Old School Eatery, Lebuh Bishop, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RFWDk8dgs48/XzTKo8SKlrI/AAAAAAAAfpU/rcFgSIFWFoAUjeVJeqzGkfj_oM2MrO0TgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF3014.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another dish we have - <b>Curry Kapitan (RM 28)</b> was equally good. Chicken has been cooked to perfect tenderness and the mild curry blended well with the protein. At the same time, we also ordered a bowl of <b>Nasi Ulam (RM 15) </b>instead of conventional white rice to complement the dishes.

Haneul Park, in fact is the most popular of the five parks of World Cup Park near Seoul World Cup Stadium. From our personal experience, the park gets incredible beautiful during autumn (October / November) when the Pampas Grass turns into golden brown colour. On top of that, Haneul Park also offers breathtaking view of Seoul</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vGmcoTa5Img/XyrZvhym1eI/AAAAAAAAfoQ/MpfsPbGvp1kf0DuMdbpZmfzSBhyRSPmjQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSC_0729.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Haneul Park - A Secret Spot for Instagram Worthy Photos in Seoul, South Korea" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vGmcoTa5Img/XyrZvhym1eI/AAAAAAAAfoQ/MpfsPbGvp1kf0DuMdbpZmfzSBhyRSPmjQCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSC_0729.JPG" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How to Go To Haneul Park </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Going to Haneul Park is easy via subway, but prepare to walk a bit of distance, which should not be an issue as mostly you have walked a lot in Seoul!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Take subway to World Cup Stadium Station (line 6) and exit through exit 1.

It is your choice, either to pay 3,000 won for a return tram trip (single ride cost 2,000 won) or attempt 291 steps up to Haneul Park.

I have <a href="https://www.crispoflife.com/2015/04/noodles-history-wantan-mee-alor-setar.html" target="_blank">long known Noodle History's existence since my frequent work trip to Alor Setar in 2014</a>, and in fact was slightly excited over Noodle History's venture into Penang. The honey barbecued char siew, chicken, and the lard on noodles here are things we really anticipating, but the noodles here are less exciting compared to conventional wantan mee in Pennag.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5HPQ0zPXevk/XyhWw5RZZHI/AAAAAAAAfnw/Kl_ZaEyyLHo7f_wW7rtEZjxhA7ShrJelgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2995.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Popular Alor Setar Noodle History 尹面之家 has come to Penang @ New World Park" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5HPQ0zPXevk/XyhWw5RZZHI/AAAAAAAAfnw/Kl_ZaEyyLHo7f_wW7rtEZjxhA7ShrJelgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2995.JPG" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The outlet in Penang has proper setting with air-conditioning, which justified its higher price tag here. A conventional plate of Signature BBQ Pork Wantan Mee here cost RM 8.90. However, the restaurant has introduced a package for 2 - 2 bowl of noodles, 1 plate of char siew OR chicken, 1 vegetable and 2 drinks for RM 29.90, which is a real bargain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7qJtljvDyXs/XyhW33qLgYI/AAAAAAAAfn0/cihrswzRSxQSOVWzhObakTZkHMb5dOHLgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2992.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Popular Alor Setar Noodle History 尹面之家 has come to Penang @ New World Park" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7qJtljvDyXs/XyhW33qLgYI/AAAAAAAAfn0/cihrswzRSxQSOVWzhObakTZkHMb5dOHLgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2992.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although the egg noodles here are al-dente in texture, I still prefer the conventional way of enjoying the noodles with dark soy sauce over light soy sauce (which is the choice here). However, the pork lard floating around the noodles are something I will be looking for. These pork lards are doing an amazing job in giving a jab of fine taste to the noodles. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jCNDX0XTs2U/XyhW8taj7NI/AAAAAAAAfn4/byuSUBwN9Yk6oYKL6yuN4_44L6007VB-wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2993.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Popular Alor Setar Noodle History 尹面之家 has come to Penang @ New World Park" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jCNDX0XTs2U/XyhW8taj7NI/AAAAAAAAfn4/byuSUBwN9Yk6oYKL6yuN4_44L6007VB-wCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2993.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The honey barbecued char siew here is almighty in taste. Each piece has a bigger portion of fat meat, then well coated with its signature sauce, rendering the char siew here superb in taste. One will regret if never order the extra char siew plate, as the char siew taste is somehow different compared to those serve with the noodles.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyhow, I still feel the original stall near the flyover in Alor Setar serves the best honey barbecued char siew.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><i>Noodle History 尹面之家 @ New World Park Penang</i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/u1z8SHu4UFbSwLJA6" target="_blank">102-C-4, New World Park, Jalan Burmah, 10050, Georgetown, Penang</a></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Operation hours: 11.30am - 3pm; 5pm - 9:30pm Daily</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>+60128769886</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div>Follow us for latest Crisp of Life updates at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crispoflife?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crispoflife/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.<br />Check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shirleenvv/" target="_blank">Shirleen</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eepin88/" target="_blank">Ee Pin</a>'s Instagram for more beautiful photos we have taken.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: left;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">~End~</div></div></div></div></div></div>eepinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350754228781042152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485948681979656332.post-65833391231501508162020-08-05T08:00:00.003+08:002020-08-05T08:00:02.063+08:00New Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Nyonya influenced cuisine has slowed down its pace but a new cafe - <b>Rempah 百分料理</b> at the prominent <b>Beach Street</b> has injected new vibes into these complex cuisine. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i9iOHlzO29M/XyhMKTqMX8I/AAAAAAAAfl8/Hwd3AZ_wbjAXxPpwqKyPefmx2KpTy6lVwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2975.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-i9iOHlzO29M/XyhMKTqMX8I/AAAAAAAAfl8/Hwd3AZ_wbjAXxPpwqKyPefmx2KpTy6lVwCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2975.JPG" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Established beside the renowned China House, <b>Rempah 百分料理 </b>has deviated from the conventional Nyonya restaurant setting - vintage ambiance, brick walls and classic wooden furniture. Instead, the restaurant took a bold approach with minimalist modern setting, along with a bar counter that makes the place highly Instagrammable. Perhaps this is one of the marketing strategy that entice the youngsters, tourists and Muslim community (the restaurant is pork free and claimed to using Halal-certified ingredients, though not halal certified) to dine in here and try out the dying Nyonya cuisine. The menu is small here, offering a few classic Nyonya dishes and the price is steep, though you will get rewarded with pleasant palate experience. Prepare to wait for some time for your food to get served too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ClcLx4zNZiI/XyhMKSQWVQI/AAAAAAAAfmA/D01qXaOKqb0ZJ2NWzwTC2gga8sW2ttsWQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2976.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="New Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ClcLx4zNZiI/XyhMKSQWVQI/AAAAAAAAfmA/D01qXaOKqb0ZJ2NWzwTC2gga8sW2ttsWQCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2976.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ite5GnWt8Lk/XyhMJQ39cdI/AAAAAAAAfl0/OYtpge5Tft0cMpsr5zWhLDW8chx8oD_bACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2963.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="New Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ite5GnWt8Lk/XyhMJQ39cdI/AAAAAAAAfl0/OYtpge5Tft0cMpsr5zWhLDW8chx8oD_bACLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2963.JPG" title="Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The menu is divided into few sections - appetizers, main dishes, vegetables, desserts, non-alcoholic and alcohol drinks. For appetizers, we had <b>Hea Kean (RM 18)</b>, or translated to English as prawn fritters. The restaurant has expertly make the fritters to be crisp and delicious. It pairs perfectly with the tangy chili sauce that has a generous peanuts on it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other popular Nyonya appetizers offered here such as Ju Hu Char with Pie Tee Cup, Otak-Otak and Mango Kerabu.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W_iRoihIo2I/XyhMJbUyPqI/AAAAAAAAflw/MGtX2nieU5IvcxRC9Hd24pT7iZ4ezHLHACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2966.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W_iRoihIo2I/XyhMJbUyPqI/AAAAAAAAflw/MGtX2nieU5IvcxRC9Hd24pT7iZ4ezHLHACLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2966.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are only 6 main courses available here, and we decided to go with <b>Peng Hu (RM 28)</b>. The fish was grilled to perfection in banana leaves, and was nice to enjoy itself without the condiments actually. Of course, the condiments elevated the dish into a higher level. This is probably one of the best marinated grilled fish without char that we really enjoyed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N6ZFllXa5bs/XyhMJybtqGI/AAAAAAAAfl4/a2VEt52iau8Fapzi19ODJx4LanRViwHvwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2968.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-N6ZFllXa5bs/XyhMJybtqGI/AAAAAAAAfl4/a2VEt52iau8Fapzi19ODJx4LanRViwHvwCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2968.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vegetable options are limited too, and we decided to go for <b>Sambal Terung Bakar (RM 15)</b>, which is grilled eggplant topped with sambal paste. It was an okay dish, nothing to shout about, yet nothing goes wrong with it. Those enjoying stink beans can go for Sambal Buah Petai though.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFKxkk3_asE/XyhMLNQs62I/AAAAAAAAfmE/ns5RX1-6rGQvbaczLNzFo6zf5fLzNnAfgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2977.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFKxkk3_asE/XyhMLNQs62I/AAAAAAAAfmE/ns5RX1-6rGQvbaczLNzFo6zf5fLzNnAfgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2977.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Only 4 types of desserts being offered - Creme Bruele, Coconut Panna Cotta, Chocolate Banana Wrap and <b>Pandan Kaya Mousse with Sago Melaka (RM 22)</b>. Undeniably the Pandan Kaya Mousse is expertly crafted - rich in flavour, yet not surfeiting with its sweetness. Expect to portion to be petite and trying to emulate fine-dine serving by only occupying a fragment of the plate. Even small appetite person would find the dessert to be insufficient we presume. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w9jUM2FRgWU/XyhMI1AR3LI/AAAAAAAAfls/8zR2cMCjzocGXP1Unjq0AHPoXFw2grGyACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/DSCF2948.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Instagrammable Restaurant Serving Modern Nyonya Cuisine - Rempah 百分料理 @ Lebuh Pantai, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w9jUM2FRgWU/XyhMI1AR3LI/AAAAAAAAfls/8zR2cMCjzocGXP1Unjq0AHPoXFw2grGyACLcBGAsYHQ/d/DSCF2948.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Hot Chocolate (RM 14)</b> here is good too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, if you do not mind spending extra monies and enjoy Nyonya food in a sophisticated setting, then Rempah 百分料理 is worth a try. However, it is not meant for a place with classic family outing, unless the seniors in your house are open minded to accept Nyonya cuisine in such a way.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The sole visible indication of the cafe is the outdoor signboard, giving pointer to the exact whereabouts of The Busy Monet. Nevertheless, ourselves were puzzled about even at the moment walking up the staircase as there were no clear pointer (the second floor is a kids learning centre). Only when we take a turn at the end of staircase we knew we were heading to the right direction.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mDn5N4CpNno/Xx5wEmNmUVI/AAAAAAAAfjo/oe3aJPR5PVEeSixPGWWNuidyNz8XFUP6QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20200725_144320e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hidden Beautiful Nature Themed Cafe - The Busy Monet @ Vantage Point, Jelutong, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mDn5N4CpNno/Xx5wEmNmUVI/AAAAAAAAfjo/oe3aJPR5PVEeSixPGWWNuidyNz8XFUP6QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20200725_144320e.jpg" title="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Busy Monet </b>is akin a jungle tucked in an urbanized city. There are plants in every corner of the cafe, along with wooden furniture and a large fish tank that has real fishes swimming within. Meanwhile, grafiti are present in the cashier counter and the wall behind, creating a stark contrast against its surrounding. We presumed the cafe owner to be an esthete person, as he creatively select soothing background music and invested well in the sound system. Combination of every single elements in The Busy Monet made here a pleasant place to unwind ourselves.</div></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rxPY674sseY/Xx5w87otcMI/AAAAAAAAfjw/Rc4nUk38Uso3k-9iTTqKqiUiP4ytriORACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/DSCF2877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hidden Beautiful Nature Themed Cafe - The Busy Monet @ Vantage Point, Jelutong, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rxPY674sseY/Xx5w87otcMI/AAAAAAAAfjw/Rc4nUk38Uso3k-9iTTqKqiUiP4ytriORACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/DSCF2877.JPG" title="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The food here are regular cafe food - spaghetti, salad, croissant, meat and etc, though they have separate menu for brunch, dinner and all-day dining menu. The overall taste of the food is above average, with some fine refinement would have made the food even better. For instance, the salmon pieces of the <b>Creamy Salmon Pasta (RM 25) </b>was served in irregular chunks - something like minced meat, and it appears it was not grilled properly to unleash its flavour. Its creamy white sauce with touch of Parmesan cheese sauce was alright, though the consistency of the sauce could be smoother for a better overall sensation. </div></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KvKkWBvW6QE/Xx5xPZMGJxI/AAAAAAAAfj4/qgSGJUZODuQ9_GAiV3lHSV4h_KoWARY5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/DSCF2883.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hidden Beautiful Nature Themed Cafe - The Busy Monet @ Vantage Point, Jelutong, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KvKkWBvW6QE/Xx5xPZMGJxI/AAAAAAAAfj4/qgSGJUZODuQ9_GAiV3lHSV4h_KoWARY5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/DSCF2883.JPG" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ful3Lw0Kpy0/Xx5xPczeiuI/AAAAAAAAfj8/Cq_MgibmhgEmzzZVsVekCf_oJoH_6HhTACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/DSCF2885.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hidden Beautiful Nature Themed Cafe - The Busy Monet @ Vantage Point, Jelutong, Penang" border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ful3Lw0Kpy0/Xx5xPczeiuI/AAAAAAAAfj8/Cq_MgibmhgEmzzZVsVekCf_oJoH_6HhTACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/DSCF2885.JPG" title="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">We liked the <b>Salmon Quinoa Salad (RM 25)</b>.

Somehow, it taste has similarity with local Kerabu.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The cafe offers an extensive range of drink menu with a dozen of latte choices to choose from, alongside with scented tea and sparkling drinks.

Just like many new parents, we decided to let Shirleen to stay at a confinement centre for the first month in order to let her recuperate well after the delivery, while the nanny at confinement centre can look after the baby. However, this turned out to be a disastrous and nightmarish experience. We decided to shed the light about our experiences so the mummy and daddy to be can take note in future.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">16th June 2020</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Our baby has started to get cranky lately. She will stay awake for hours in the evening and keep wanting milk. Shirleen has breast-feeded her for multiple times within the span of 3 hours and baby was crying still. Being a first timer as father and mother, we were clueless about what was happening and decided to seek the nanny in the confinement centre to help. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For your information, the centre only has a nanny and another maid to help out to take care of the babies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So the "experienced" nanny came to Shirleen's room and taught her how to massage baby with oil to soothe her, which we duly obliged as a significant number of our mummy friends also practiced this way. It is believed to get rid off the "wind", or known as colic.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After that, she asked was the baby breast-fed. Truth is baby just got breast-fed and cried, then we went to seek her for help and remedy. She then started the blame game, citing Shirleen's breast milk was insufficient and the baby could not latch, so she needed to do bottle feeding now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then she took the pumped milk in packets and prepared 2.5 ounces of milk. This was when all the problems and nightmare started.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Baby started to suck gently for approximately 1 ounce, then she tried to move away from the bottle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The nanny then forcefully push the bottle into the baby mouth and let her drink further. We can sense something was not right, as the baby refused to drink anymore and fall asleep. Then the nanny insisted she was not having enough milk and wanting more, and she forcefully push the tip of the bottle into her!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What the hell! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was infuriated when seeing this and can sense Shirleen was about to break down. She kept pushing the bottle into her mouth. I then pleaded her to stop, saying we will feed on our own but she refused to budge. Until I said it for the third times with a stern note, only then she stopped forcing the bottle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then she told us baby now needed 4 ounces of milk everytime! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What? A baby less than 2 weeks old needed 4 ounces? That was nonsense, which neither of us believe. From this moment, this nanny is a witch for us. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, the problem did not ended here. Obviously the baby fall asleep well. In fact, she fall asleep half way when feeding the bottle after rejecting it for at least two times, or even more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Half an hour later, the baby suddenly awake and cried. Non-stop crying, and it was the unusual crying which we never experienced. No matter what we did - patting, swaddling, hugging, holding. It did not work.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She was squeaking loudly and non-stop for the next 2.5 hours, till 2am in the morning. Her tears rolled non-stop and we can tell she was suffering from a terrible pain, possibly due to overfeeding. No newborn less than 14 days on earth are needed to be fed 4 ounces of milk. (that night, our baby possibly was being fed 4 ounces or even more at that span of time, considering she has been breast-fed before being bottle-fed.)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From that experiences onward, we swear we would not want to let her feed our baby anymore, nor listening to her ill-advice. We were fortunate our baby did not suffer the same experience as what being quoted in this <a href="https://www.joshanjed.com/post/the-happiest-and-scariest-day-of-our-lives" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">article</a> - aspiration pneumonia due to overfeeding (120 - 150ml per feeding for newborn, equivalent to 4oz to 5oz).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You may listen to below recording for her "recommendation" of 4 ounces of milk for 2 weeks baby. It was conversed in local dialect Hokkien though. <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/17740B_HXqN8gdusXdpKeSBALNrpoA0RJ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: red; color: black; font-size: large;">Click here. </span></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She kept saying our baby will be underweight if did not follow her advice. Then on the 21th day after checkup in clinic, the nurse weighed our baby and she is healthy at 4kg! When she knows the results, she gave that one kind of face with disgruntled expression. I feel like slapping her on the spot. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, her advice on 4 ounces of milk to baby was recorded as a proof. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Advice to all new father and mother, follow your paediatricians or nurses' advice, or even trust your instinct. These nannies or confinement ladies are mostly practicising taboo that will do more harm than good.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not only the above mentioned horrible experiences, there were many bad experience we had with this nanny at the confinement centre.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. <b>Feeding our baby with formula-milk at day 3</b> without our acknowledgement and approval. She quoted breast milk was insufficient, and then only we found out on day 3 she has been feeding our baby for 3 ounces of milk per feeding! We have explicitly telling her no formula milk as Shirleen was capable to producing enough breast milk (averagely 1.5 ounces to 2.5 ounces on first and second week)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. <b>Keep blaming Shirleen not producing enough breast milk </b>and led baby to hunger. Baby was sleeping well for 2 hours continuously after each breast feeding.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. <b>Blaming Shirleen for causing "gas" in baby stomach</b> <b>as she drank pure warm water</b>. She claimed warm water caused bloating in baby stomach and Shirleen must drink red dates water mixed with ginger slices.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. <b>Blaming Shirleen milk was not in good quality</b> because the content has a lot of water and not enough fat. The nanny made such a claim after seeing the stored breastmilk in fridge has distinctive 2 layers. Well, scientifically, the major constituent of breast milk is water?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. After seeing the baby poo is watery, she <b>blamed Shirleen for drinking plain water and caused baby to suffering from diarrhea</b>. Scientifically it is shown that fully breast fed baby tend to be more watery.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">6. <b>Insisting the baby was not having jaundice</b> by pressing on the baby forehead, even though the bilirubin level was above threshold level and indicated for phototherapy. She said the baby just needed some sunshine therapy in the morning. Ironically, a random shopkeeper was able to tell the baby was suffering from jaundice by just a glance on the fourth week. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">7. <b>Discouraged us to go to hospital and clinic for following up and seeking treatment for jaundice</b>, citing it is unnecessary and us being a new parent was anxious. We decided to go against her. Every time she mentioned about jaundice or going to clinic to follow up, she will keep talking our baby is all well despite her bilirubin level is still high (175 mmol/L at 14 days). She even cited a previous mother who stayed here and did not even go to hospital even though the baby was having jaundice because the mother trusted her advice! Ridiculous! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">8. <b>Stubborn </b>- Although there are not evidences indicating gingers consumed by mother lead to jaundice in babies, the nurses advised not to consume it for safety purposes. Furthermore, Shirleen was having nose bleeding, which might attributed to the "heat" properties of the gingers. We then channeled this message and request her to remove the gingers from food but she never did so, even with multiple reminders, request and quoting medical professionals' advice. The only improvement we saw were ginger slices were being used instead of grated gingers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">9. <b>Keep wanting to introduce bottle-feeding</b> while Shirleen wanted to let baby to latch. What is more important than a mother's will, and what is wrong with latching as the baby is enjoying it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">10. <b>Disallowed Shirleen to take bath</b> (Chinese's confinement taboo) as it may lead to "wind" entering the body. Ended up rashes in Shirleen's body and spread to baby's face. Before that she promised to prepare herbal water for bath but forgot, then delayed it to another week.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">11. <b>Irregular dining hour </b>- lunch at 10.30am just because she needed to go market; dinner at 6.00pm, then followed by supper at 7.20pm; breakfast sometimes at 7:30am, sometimes at 9am. It was like we needed to fit her schedule instead of she fitting our schedule (to go to hospitals' follow up and etc). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">12. <b>Forgetful </b>- we told her we needed to go to clinic for doctor's appointment at 9am so she can prepare breakfast earlier. Then ended up she never prepare, only citing she forget at the moment we asked her where is breakfast.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">13. <b>Odd behaviour</b> - like to intrude to Shirleen's room without asking permission. Straight bang into the room. Even when door is locked she will keep wanting to open it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-txYuwKL7TX0/XwNjBdpz5ZI/AAAAAAAAfio/7RGw2E15_osop5I2otniRl4d55rxH00JgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/jia%2Bher3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-txYuwKL7TX0/XwNjBdpz5ZI/AAAAAAAAfio/7RGw2E15_osop5I2otniRl4d55rxH00JgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h320/jia%2Bher3.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">14. <b>Insufficient manpower</b> - During scouting, we were told she will handle maximum 2 confinement ladies and 3 other babies (more than a month's old) with her maid's help. That was the partial truth only. On and off, the maid was being ferried to elsewhere to do cleaning job frequently, and sometimes the other babies were being left unattended when both of them go markets. We have witnessed the baby was sucking empty bottle as nobody was attending them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">15. <b>Breaking promises</b> - We were being told every items used by the baby will be prepared by her. Then on second week, she told us the diapers were finishing and we have to buy on our own. After a slight argument then only she conceded and purchase diapers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">16. <b>Illogical action</b> - Sometimes, she takes bath for baby at 6.30am in the morning and claimed it is all fine! Often times after changing diapers for baby, she kept talking to baby non-stop and demanded baby to smile to her before willing to hand back baby back to mother. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rEhbtWZT0yU/XwNjAt-9bsI/AAAAAAAAfik/nmBbpQ5EYycy9V-Qqs7roydbk1CTLKt1QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/jia%2Bher5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="489" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rEhbtWZT0yU/XwNjAt-9bsI/AAAAAAAAfik/nmBbpQ5EYycy9V-Qqs7roydbk1CTLKt1QCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h640/jia%2Bher5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">17. <b>Dishonest</b> - During sign-up, she promised the package includes 5 times massage for mother. However after signing up, it became a 2 hours 5-in-1 massage and said this was the agreement. Not to mention the masseuse was hard selling her packages during the entire process. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">18. <b>Washing Milk Bottles</b> - The nanny handed us a basin and a cleaning device and ask mother to self wash milk pump and bottles after usage. Contrary to what she said at the same time that women should not touch water after delivery.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-acZ0YB3H3jg/XwNi-yoz2OI/AAAAAAAAfiY/FRxHlzTzsToOt2Eg_I4IZu7Z5V9khrYigCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/jia%2Bher2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-acZ0YB3H3jg/XwNi-yoz2OI/AAAAAAAAfiY/FRxHlzTzsToOt2Eg_I4IZu7Z5V9khrYigCLcBGAsYHQ/d/jia%2Bher2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">19. <b>Greasy and Dirty Food </b>- This happen in the last week. Check out the insane amount of grease in the food, and spotted hairs inside the food for a few times. Besides, the food was extremely salty in the last week. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">20. <b>No isolation on sick baby</b> - Another baby was down with sickness on the fourth week and no isolation was done by her. She can pester the sick baby then come and touch our baby the next minute! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While these are the things we could not tolerate, she did some commendable efforts also such as allowing father to overnight, cooking food for father, preparing great food for mother - free-range chicken, black chickens, Chinese herbs. Nevertheless, this only last for the first 2 weeks and the food had been getting disastrous and greasy in the last week. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HVjn5iAuhMY/XwNi_HTbMVI/AAAAAAAAfic/6SFYhv1R2ZAEkVoG8cxN5EN_EQXDbJPZgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/jia%2Bher.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HVjn5iAuhMY/XwNi_HTbMVI/AAAAAAAAfic/6SFYhv1R2ZAEkVoG8cxN5EN_EQXDbJPZgCLcBGAsYHQ/d/jia%2Bher.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kRJSxoaDRls/XwNi_RoOMDI/AAAAAAAAfig/-GgrRUvBCGoFsXXQMTKZpEh5P9JlEAl6QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/jia%2Bher1.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kRJSxoaDRls/XwNi_RoOMDI/AAAAAAAAfig/-GgrRUvBCGoFsXXQMTKZpEh5P9JlEAl6QCLcBGAsYHQ/d/jia%2Bher1.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Requested no ginger and tumeric in dishes but my wishes isn't followed. </td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, the force feeding that caused our baby to suffer for the whole night was the last straw that broke the camel's back. For the sake of our baby's health and growth, we never let her handle the feeding of baby nor taking care of the baby at night.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You may ask why we did not escape the confinement centre as soon as we found out the nonsense. Reason being nobody was able to prepare the food at our home for Shirleen, and the food prepared at confinement centre was fine for the first 3 weeks. However, as the dismay begun on the 4th week and another baby was sick without any isolation, we escaped the confinement centre 3 days earlier before the expected leaving date. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We decided to share our experiences so any father and mother-to-be can learn from what we experienced. Never trust your nanny or confinement lady fully, even though they claim how experienced they are. Your instinct works the best to judge what is wrong and right, and always sound out if you feel something is not right. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Follow us for latest Crisp of Life updates at Facebook & Instagram.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Check out Shirleen & Ee Pin's Instagram for more beautiful photos we have taken.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>~End~</i></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>eepinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350754228781042152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485948681979656332.post-25452007279827959112020-06-29T06:00:00.002+08:002020-07-03T14:35:31.665+08:00Early Morning 5am Chinese Nasi Lemak Near Jalan Perak Market<div style="text-align: justify;">Having a newborn in house really turned our life upside-down. It was 5am, yet the baby was giving us a rough night for staying awake and keep crying since 12.30am, while our stomach has depleted its digestible resources and began to rebel. Suddenly, I recall there is a <b>Chinese Nasi Lemak</b> stall located near to <b>Jalan Perak </b>morning market that sells from 4.30am and usually sold out by 9am. This was one of the main reason we never get to try it as waking up early was hardly our practice. Since today we are awake and feeling hungry at this odd hour, it is a good chance to try out this Nasi Lemak then!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9lLrrO90aT4/XvxYeBbDzHI/AAAAAAAAYag/w1rjfuyKXUIWvboMjuFc4JMdd-7-uCB6gCK4BGAsYHg/w480-h640/20200628_045153e.jpg" title="Early Morning 5am Chinese Nasi Lemak Near Jalan Perak Market" width="480" /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Chinese Nasi Lemak Stall is located in the kopitiam right beside the pedeitraffic light at Jalan Perak morning market (on your left if you are heading to Georgetown). Unlike traditional Malay Nasi Lemak that offer the likes such as anchovies or fried chickens, this stall serve up to 10 different types of dishes such as otak-otak, okra, small fried fish, curry chicken, boiled or fried eggs, sausages, fish fingers, assam prawns and et cetera. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7cMhx5J2B4/XvxYiHaKcBI/AAAAAAAAYas/KvJaoMNGov0pWoCGXV1fpJK1SxFxHc0CwCK4BGAsYHg/w480-h640/20200628_053612e.jpg" title="Early Morning 5am Chinese Nasi Lemak Near Jalan Perak Market" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Truth is only a few of the dishes appeal to me, thus I had fried fish, otak-otak and okra, then drenched with curry, which is the only gravy available. I was tempted to get assam prawns but ditched the idea last minute due to concern about the ultimate pricing. Surprisingly, these 3 dishes I picked together with rice only cost me merely RM 4, what a deal! The otak-otak is good - smooth and soft with nice taste. On the other hand, the curry was normal and it would elevate the entire Nasi Lemak if it offers a more spicy sensation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RT5CsqY6IGA/XvxYfWQzZ0I/AAAAAAAAYak/OiJXCHrcaUcZ-LyEmZ6MkiA8-z5uxNANQCK4BGAsYHg/d/20200628_045308e.jpg" title="Early Morning 5am Chinese Nasi Lemak Near Jalan Perak Market" /></div><br style="text-align: left;" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zo5_mILnWMQ/XvxYg7Gux0I/AAAAAAAAYao/bToc2g9kyzADLOCWCbw6L5EWPLXLIY4SwCK4BGAsYHg/d/20200628_045320e.jpg" title="Early Morning 5am Chinese Nasi Lemak Near Jalan Perak Market" /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now I understand why this Chinese Lemak Stall often sold out by 9am.

I thought I would have contained my emotion well to welcome our baby, which is full of excitement, yet the reality was a mixture of exhilaration, confusion, unbelievable and gratitude.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Thanks to all the great mothers in the world who undergo the enormous pain in delivering their babies". It was beyond words when I stood beside Shirleen, accompanying her throughout the whole labour process.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>8.00am </i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was supposed to be another normal day in pregnancy for Shirleen though she is expecting to deliver anytime, in this era where Covid-19 pandemic is ravaging the world. I woke up at 8am, preparing to attend a company short meeting and sending Shirleen for her scheduled OBGYN checkup, which was supposed to be the last as her expected day is 5th June 2020.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then she told me she was having irregular minor contraction in the wee hours of the morning. It was sharp pain, then it subdued later for few hours. So I was thinking it could be the false labour or known as Braxton-Hicks contraction. Since we are going to scheduled appointment in the hospital, might as well get the doctor to check and advise properly.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>9:15am</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I finished my online meeting. The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted how the world operates. Many things have gone virtual, and many is losing their job and income. I am having this sense of job insecurity after getting laid off from my work in the beginning of 2019. Losing the job during this critical time - expecting baby & slow economy will have terrible repercussion. Thus, I am trying my best to carry the job well. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I asked Shirleen how she feels. She said the same thing - irregular contractions and no unbearable pain. She still could carry out the daily chores as usual. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>10.15am</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shirleen said she could not feel any contraction or pain in the last one hour. False alarm perhaps.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have been missing a lot of great hawker food ever since Covid-19 striked the world. Being a pregnant lady, Shirleen sure have some craving to fix and I am trying to make sure she has a great pregnancy period. She has been missing Lebuh Acheh Wantan Mee for some time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However there was no table to dine in at Lebuh Acheh Wantan Mee, and another 3-flavour Wantan Mee at Weld Quay are sold out. Time is running out, so we made the decision to skip the breakfast and rush to hospital for follow-up instead. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>11:30am</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally it is Shirleen turn to see the doctor. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As usual, the doctor greeted us and asked Shirleen whether she has any sign of delivery - contraction pain or bleeding.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I can see the slight change in doctor's face when he was informed that Shirleen has felt irregular contraction this morning. It was like an agreement or confidence showed on the doctor's face. Meanwhile, I was getting more unsettled but chose not to express it in anyway. I knew the labour day has to come ultimately, yet hers and the newborn's safety are my biggest concern. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After ultrasound, the doctor checked her cervix dilation and it was 3cm wide, accompanied with a tad of blood stains. Immediately, doctor advised for admission and said delivery is probably around 5pm later. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>12:00pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have to proceed to meet customers since appointments have been secured, while the nurse guided Shirleen to the labour room. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The truth is I cannot concentrate my mind in delivering my messages to customers. Guilt filled my mind as I left her alone to the labour room, thinking she could be scared and alone in the cold room. While she assured that she is all fine to me via text messages, the restless grew inside me. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, I was stuck in customer's meeting still.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>12:30pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shirleen texted me to ask me get the documents from clinic's nurse and proceed to do payment, and also ask to pick the pediatrician in charge later. I could see her labour pain was getting immense as there were so many errors in spellings in her message.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>12:50pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While I was doing the admission process with the hospital administration, she texted me that doctor has broken her water! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So fast? I was under the impression she was still taking her own time in the labour room, as doctor deduced the delivery will in the evening later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>1:00pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I arrived at the labour room. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The moment I stepped into labour room, the baby's heartbeat could be vividly heard thanks to the machine attached to Shirleen's baby and amplifying its sound. Although it wasn't the first times hearing the heartbeat (first times being the checkups done in clinic during first trimester), but it felt so wonderful as it yield a close connection between me and the baby.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The setting in labour room is obviously different from what we see in typical Hong Kong or Taiwan drama. In fact, it was spacious and comfy with plenty of room. The newborn radiant warmer is ready at the corner of the room. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">She was okay still. Contraction come and go, and she can talk naturally to me, even joked. I hoped she would have a labour process without much pain. As I told her, tell the nurse or doctor you need Epidural in case the pain really unbearable. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>1:45pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The intensity of her pain increased a lot. She was struggling in the labour bed, moving her legs uncontrollably here and there. A nurse came back to check the drip, and she told her Epidural was no longer possible. She then said this is mild level of pain and the intensity would go double or triple of the current level. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When Shirleen heard Epidural is no longer possible, she started to get worried amidst of the pain. I asked for painkiller and the nurse said ok. Shirleen was having trouble to focus, and she thought she will be issued Epidural after hearing the word "painkiller". I just concured with her to make her feel at ease. Still, her legs keep moving here and there on the bed and blood spots were staining everywhere in the bed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In my heart, I wonder how did all mothers-to-be endure this type of pain for hours. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>2:00pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The doctor suddenly dropped by the labour room to see how is Shirleen doing, even though he told us Shirleen most likely to be delivering in the evening. Upon seeing Shirleen is in deep pain to the extent having difficulty responding to his questions, he decided to check the cervix dilation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I actually feeling helpless in the labour room. Seeing Shirleen was suffering from excruciating pain, and yet I cannot do a single thing to relieve her from the pain. This type of pain is we, as men would never able to experience. Never in my life I had pain to the extent rolling without conscious.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After checking her cervix dilation, Dr told the nurse that she was ready to deliver and ordered the nurse to get every the necessary instruments ready. From fixing the leg support, getting injection, adjusting the drip and many more. Can feel the immense activities ongoing in this room.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Flashing back, we were so fortunate the doctor come at this hour to check her dilation and immediately initiate the necessary procedures. There was a nurse dropping by early and just told us the threshold of pain she was having was normal, and it might increase to double or even triple. This has put me into a deep shock!</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>2:30pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During Shirleen's pregnancy time, we often had discussion how to deal during the labour, such as what to do if she had pain alone at home, and agreement on various factors. One of the agreement Shirleen made me do was never look at the entire labour process in the labour room, and just be there to support her duly. She was concerned I will be unable to take the horrifying scene - blood around, large baby head passing through the vagina, and causes me to faint on the spot.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However in the labour room, my heart propelled me to look at the entire process. It was not due to curiosity but more to play the role as a message convenyor. By doing so, I am able to tell her directly is the baby head coming out, how is the progress currently, which I believe can inspire her further more in the entier progress. I reckon this is the role a husband and a future father should play in a labour room, perhaps?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay.. the entire scene was not as scary as I thought. Cannot deny there were a lot of blood, and as she focus on pushing the baby then I can see the baby hairs and head slightly. I have to say, it was an amazing yet odd scene, with a mixture of unexplained joy with slight worry when the head returns back to the inside. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am glad I did not miss that moment, as perhaps this is the once in a lifetime moment where I got to witness how my daughter is being brought to this world by my wife.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At this time, the doctor was commented Shirleen was not pushing the correct way occasionally, resulting the baby could not come out in time as expected.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>2:45pm</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Doctor told the staff nurse to get ready his vacuum, and explained what is a vacuum and how it will help to facilitate the process of delivery to Shirleen. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I saw she nodded but I wonder she gets the messages or not amidst of the pain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By usage of vacuum, that means my daughter is getting close into her arrival to the world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The doctor then proceed with the procedures and I do not know how long it takes before I see something slipped toward to the doctor's hand. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xXXvLBzaUBs/XvNgNwNiTRI/AAAAAAAAYWw/70Kjuf79fhEYFaN_f-mQWeTf0gd9d4mSQCK4BGAsYHg/s4032/20200604_154244.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xXXvLBzaUBs/XvNgNwNiTRI/AAAAAAAAYWw/70Kjuf79fhEYFaN_f-mQWeTf0gd9d4mSQCK4BGAsYHg/w480-h640/20200604_154244.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That is Baby Leow!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The nurse carefully lift her up, then the doctor asked me to confirm the current time and certify her exact birth time. I gazed at her, then look at my tired wife in the bed and gently pat and comfort her. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I felt so grateful toward the safe procedures guided by the team in hospital that led to a smooth delivery by Shirleen. She suffered from postpartum hemorrhage, got bed-ridden for a day with an urine bag attached but all the efforts and pain she went through were handsomely rewarded with a healthy baby.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V9CM20R7Ztk/XvNgMovjEiI/AAAAAAAAYWs/_XkfNfr34O4D-qp0hwBeP4mV4DLDVNtlACK4BGAsYHg/s4032/20200603_194154.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-V9CM20R7Ztk/XvNgMovjEiI/AAAAAAAAYWs/_XkfNfr34O4D-qp0hwBeP4mV4DLDVNtlACK4BGAsYHg/w480-h640/20200603_194154.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By the time I am penning the article, both of us are 12 days officially parents with sleep deprived, emotionally and physically challenged, struggling to understand the baby with her irregular crying. Nevertheless, she is biggest joy in both of our life and we have never been so grateful ever.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is just a small beginning and more will come. Hope both of us are strong to pull this through and guide Baby Leow into someone that contribute into the humanity. </div><div><br /></div><div><div><div style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: center;"><div><div><div><div style="margin: 0px;">Follow us for latest Crisp of Life updates at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crispoflife?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crispoflife/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.</div></div></div><div><div><div style="margin: 0px;">Check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shirleenvv/" target="_blank">Shirleen</a> & <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eepin88/" target="_blank">Ee Pin</a>'s Instagram for more beautiful photos we have taken.</div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div></div><div><div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><div><div style="margin: 0px;">~End~</div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div>eepinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350754228781042152noreply@blogger.com0
