Somewhere in deep deep Palm Estate @ Tambun

We were at my eldest's home during one of the CNY days....
My BIL buying us dinner on that night at one of the restaurant nearby their home (I GUESS)
But the restaurant that they wanted to go were pretty packed!

So my brother brought us to a place which nearby to the seaside (above sea level)
I'm not sure where is that, as I was busy with my kid.

So, I did not really enjoyed my meal as I taking care my kid on that night...
However, each of the dishes I did managed to grab some bites (with 2 bowls of rice too!)
Most of the dishes absolutely good to try out!

However, the environment wise is pretty noisy and as mentioned, above sea level meaning the whole place made of woods (like rumah atap~)
Even the toilet, there's no actual pipeline, so.... you should know where's all your "stuff" should be. :P

Good food!

$-RM 149

Price Range - It's seafood... so should be by weight?
Good For - Seafood luver
Bad For - Environment, but it's good wind at night!

Chopper Board, Queensbay Mall @ Penang

When I was in secondary school...
Bukit Jambul Complex (BJ Complex) was quite a hype place to hang around with...
There were one particular food shop which attracted me to tried out their food.

It's known as Chopper Board.

Now this brand, been branches out to Gurney Plaza and Queensbay Mall in Penang.

During the CNY, my sis, mum and me went over to Queensbay Mall for movie...
While we were hunting for dinner, we went over to Chopper Board!
It's been quite sometime I did not have their signature soup...
It looks like shark fin soup base, but tasted more to anchovies.

I not sure is it just this particular outlet or they already standardized the portion for the soup, it's kind of smaller now... IT'S TO GOOD TO BE SMALL!

While my mum and me were sniffing around to trace the "sourish" aroma in the outlet...
I guess it might be the Si Chuan Noodle....

The portion was small too, but the taste was not too bad if you like si chuan cooking style.

Later on, the "sourish" aroma.... we might thought it should be the sour fish rice?

Indeed...
It was not as sourish as the "aroma" but its good to be digest, not too spicy either.

My sis ordered the Black Pepper Chicken Rice...

Way too much pepper, least the meat were tendered.

Most of the food we ordered it came with drink....
They served something tasted Ginseng Tea, which it's been years they serve it.
