Siong Ho Fish Head Noodle & Porridge @ Weld Quay

I have never attended any food review with the fellow bloggers from Penang before. April 18 was the first time that I’ve met some of the celebrity bloggers. And here comes the second one that initiated by Criz, and I finally meet Steven, Cokeworld Citizen, Buzzing Bee and Gourmet Garden.

It was an honor to receive the invitation from Criz, and invited me for a food review. I’ve never attended any food review with them before, all these while all the food reviews and blogger gatherings clash with either my family matter or health reason.

Criz also told me that there will be more review on the way too. In fact, such food review, you’re not only got to know the chef’s way of cooking, the operation in the kitchen and also some learning tips in photography with the follow bloggers. And the most common in all of us are… camera shooting here and there. Flash light here and there. It’s another way of enjoying the fun.

I was like any new comer that dare not move around, as I do not know what’s other surprises that will come around… so when the food was served, everyone was excited to take pictures, shooting here and there, where as, I was slow and taking time to shoot. But from all these incidents, you will tend to know which blogger has special request, special requirement, and some are laughing out loud that this fellow is fussy in taking pictures things like that. Bottom line, everyone is enjoying each other’s laughter and jokes.

Ingredients lining up nicely for us to take photo, Criz even line up those prawns nicely for us to shoot. Cokeworld Citizen took a crab on to the weighing scale for us to shoot on the crab.

The chef is posing his giant grouper fish head and showed us, all the camera flashes non-stop keep flashing on the chef as well as the fish head. That doesn’t sound like any celebrity, doesn’t it?

Ingredients for ordering down from deep fried fish meat, fresh fish meat, boar’s kidney, paddy frog, fish ball, meat ball, squid, prawns, bean curd skins, quail eggs and even crabs.

As for the noodles down from vermicelli, maggi noodle, thick vermicelli and they even cook seafood porridge or even meat porridge.

Ingredients for Tomyam soup which consists of mushrooms, tomatoes, not to forget the chili padi. And mint leafs for garnishing.

Criz also ordered the nutmeg drinks for us, apparently it’s their specialty.

Didn’t realize time passes so fast, 4 bowls of different type of noodle were served. Everyone of us were busy taking the best shot on these 4 bowls of noodles.

From the ordinary type of fish head noodle which is consists of deep fried fish meat and thick rice vermicelli, and followed by …

Fresh prawns with mushroom Tomyam Maggi noodle, garnished with mint leafs to make this perfect.

Another bowl is squid with maggi noodle (or we called it processed noodle).

The normal rice vermicelli (thinner type) is match with fresh prawns. Comparatively this is sweeter than squid.

After the 4 bowls of noodles, and here it comes the porridge which the chef had prepared for us.

First was served the fresh fish meat porridge.

Followed by the paddy frog porridge.

Fresh crab thick rice vermicelli (cho bee hoon) was another bowl for us to review, to taste. This is the thumbs up due to the soup base was absolutely sweet and tasty.

Fresh grouper fish head wheat vermicelli (mee suah) was what I thought the last bowl. Never knew and never expect there is another surprise coming up.

Here comes the surprise… the big pot of tomyam soup which consists of many other ingredients, ie. Squid, fresh fish meat, deep fried fish meat, fish balls, meat balls, minced meat, quail egg, mushrooms.

That ends the review for the night with lots of laughter, lots of camera flash lights, lots of jokes. Am sure there will be more reviews to come!

Long Xiang (Seafood) Restaurant 龍鄉海鮮

不滿意請告訴我們, 好吃請告訴朋友!!

This is the statement that caught my attention when I first stepped into this shop. It’s easy to locate, it’s just next to Ah Keat Seafood in Jalan Raja Uda which I had not long ago.

Total 9 adults having 3 types of noodles, steamed fish, ginger chicken, garlic & chili fry clams (lala), and a plate of vegetables that costs only RM110, plus 2 bottles of Carlsberg for 4 glasses. So, you find this reasonably cheap?

Here are the noodles that we had… Salted Fish fry Beehoon (鹹魚炒米粉) was the 1st plate that served. Some of us find this ok, but some of us find it was too bland, some of us find that it was not enough of salted fish for the beehoon.

2nd noodle was Moonlight Flat Noodle (月光河). We find that absolutely fragrant.

Then we realize with the 2 plates of noodle may not be able to fill up the starving stomach that we have, thus, we have another plate of Hokkien Char.

Followed by the plate of Garlic & Chili Fry Clams was stunningly hot and spicy.

Steamed fish.

Ginger Chicken was absolutely nice to taste.

And last, a plate of green.

I won’t recommend this place if you’re really really looking for good food, however, if you’re ain’t any fussy person that requires good food for any meal; probably this is another place for you to consider. To certain extend, what to expect with 2 bottles of Carlsberg, and with so many dishes on the table to fill up the hungry stomach. Right?

芽菜雞 Chicken Beansprout

When ever we passed by Bumah Road, I’ll tend to look at this stall which is next to former Super Departmental Store, which is now a make up training centre I believe.

What caught my attention is the Bean Sprout Chicken, I could see few of those chicken hanging up there, and a few tables for customers to sit. Though it’s in the coffee shop, however this stall is so pathetic that it’s placed outside the shop.

There was one Saturday, hubby missed his lunch due to heavy workload at work. Not that he has to work over the weekend, but that weekend, he was so busy and missed his lunch. Therefore, we had something light like such, and we both were driving around that area and that stall caught my attention again.

I told hubby lets have that… I would have say that flat noodle doesn’t look like Ipoh flat noodles, it looks slight fatter compared to Ipoh one is slightly thinner in shape.

Chicken is smooth and tender and also… juicy too. Am sure it cooked it thru the right timing.

Bean sprouts, though unlike Ipoh bean sprout fat and short, but it’s a must have item whenever you’re into this.

This stall also sell oil rice or porridge, depending on customer’s request.

Not a bad place to hop into if you miss your lunch or tend to have late lunch.

BigBoysOven Cake Deco Class

Think am going to end this post for month of April.

This is something that I have been wanting to try on myself. I have no idea do I have the artist instinct, or do I have the talent to make for my family, but I know I have to start some where no matter how.

When Lingzie sent me a mail about Big Boys Oven is going to conduct this class in Penang, without second thought I straight away enroll myself for this.

Thru out the day we enjoyed every session with BBO, Lingzie and of course Food Point of Interest. The laughter, the jokes and the mess that we had.

To know the steps and ways of making this beautiful cake… please check Big Boys Oven out.

Meanwhile… My Love • My Food would like to wish everyone a happy long weekend to everybody. For those that on the road, please drive carefully!!


Ok, here are the beautiful photos....
