台弯风味小食 Taiwan Food

This is my second time to visit this place after introduced by a friends. This stall is located at a corner kopitiam but I didn't take note of the name.:( Anyway, it is located at Sg Nibong, again under the bridge to Queensbay.   So, let us see some of the photos I took.


Pork leg with yam rice-RM6.00 (like this very much)

pork with rice-RM6.00 (not sure what is the name but it taste nice too)

popcorn chicken-RM4.00 ( taste very nice better than uncle bob)

I like the food in this stall, suit my taste. I also try the minced pork rice before (my friend said very nice) but I still think it has much too improve. The taste is not enough, after few spoon, the taste became flat. I recommend everyone to try it. It really worth!

Adam Burger-Sungai Dua

I have been gila for burger these days. I went to buy burger at midnight which is in front of Baskin Robbin, Sungai Dua. I heard it was good from my friends. Good food should gave it a miss. I order burger special which costs me RM4.30. The price was a bit expensive compare to others which only costs RM3.50 normally.  

The burger taste not really nice, worst than Mamu burger. I think my friend have overrated it. From the photo, can see that the egg was sticking on the bread, very smashes with lots of onions. I cant taste any chilli sauce or mayonnaise at all, very dry. Expensive and not nice.

Lolipot Restaurant-Localize Shabu-shabu

I was graving for Shabu-shabu for few days. I miss KL Shabu-shabu so much. Then I found out that there is a newly open shabu-shabu restaurant near Queensbay. Without hesitation, I bring my dear to try it out. I was excited to see this kind of restaurant to be operate in Penang. The name of this restaurant is sweet, sound like my favourite lollipop sweet. The place was located opposite OXO cafelab, it is the opposite side not same side as OXO. I waste some time to find the place because seem like not really much people know about the place. I went for dinner and they only have buffet at night but for lunch time, you can order ala carte/ set.



The environment is nice but service not very good. When I arrived, the place was quite empty and I was standing there for more than 5 minutes, no one come to show us a seat. Those waitress saw us but pretend they are so busy until I have to approach them. This is bad service! Okay after I got myself a seat, but no one came to ask us what type of soup we want or tell us what can we have for buffet. I seat there for 10 minute until I have the kind of thinking to walk away. Then I approached the waitress again in very bad mood.  


They serve 3 type of soup-rice wine soup, tomyam soup and clear soup. Due to CNY, they came out a new Sharkfin soup which need extra RM5. I took the rice wine soup which think it will be special.  Drinks and ice-cream are serve on the side of the table where it is self service. Besides, all those ingredients are on the conveyor belt except the pork slice, beef slice, lamb slice and prawn that have to order. The ingredients place on the conveyor belt are little some even didn't refill for awhile. I thought this is a buffet where we should serve as many as we can eat but this limit us to eat. I called 2 plate of pork, 1 plate of lamb and beef each and 2 plate of prawns. When I wanted to order another plate of pork slice, they said the pork meat is too hard to cut so cant order now. Aren't the kitchen should prepare everything when they start business. Sweat!!


The rice wine soup is tasteless, worst than normal clear soup I have for steamboat. My dear call Tomyam soup which only have spiciness.  Many of the seafood are not fresh like prawns and fish. They also served Japanese octopus but only one in a plate with only one time. So this is buffet?





If you ask me to pay RM30 for such buffet I rather go back KL to have shabu-shabu in Bandar Puteri that is so so much better than this one and also cheaper. At least I can take prawns and octopus from the conveyor belt as many as I like plus they also served fried foods. If they cant afford to serve people food, then don't place buffet as your menu. I can said, this is my first and also last time to visit this place. Bad service with service charge 10%.

Anyway, I got a RM10 voucher from their Ang Pow. Anyone interested to visit can ask from me.

Buffet at RM30.00++

Restoran Yaki Teppan

I went to this restaurant for lunch after knowing there is a Japanese Restaurant near Sungai Nibong there.The place is near under the bridge to Queensbay but the address stated Bayan Baru, weird! I was very happy to see the menu picture full of Japanese bento box (love bento box!) and I was wondering aren't this is a Teppanyaki Restaurant, why can't I see any hot stone plate on the menu. After a brief explain by the waiter then we know it was Teppanyaki without stone plate. T.T. That just isn't the way to have Teppanyaki.


I have order set lunch that come with main dish, miso soup, salad, fried wantan and drink (orange/ carrot juice). The salad and miso soup taste normal, the juice is tasteless and the fried wantan taste not the nice. 

 beef set-RM13.90

prawn, fish and chicken set-RM17.90

 It also come with a bowl of garlic rice. I love garlic rice!

The environment is not bad but a bit discomfort when the chef started cooking in the kitchen, all the smoke came out from the kitchen and eventually flow into the restaurant. If you ask me whether it is worth to eat, I can said set meal will be worth not the ala carte. The taste is just normal not really special to me.

Mamu Burger(USM)

Today, my friend introduce me a burger stall at Tekun there since we are having our rehearsal there. So, I have been hearing this stall very long time from friends but never try before because I cant find where it was. I thought it is one of the stall in the Tekun cafe but instead it is a van in front of girl's hostel. So what so special about this burger? My friend said only the burger special and oblong special are nice. So I order a burger ayam special that cost RM3.50. So how special it is? The burger was a bit bigger than normal one, but I still think the taste normal only. The mayonnaise taste a bit weird, not very nice..too much chilli sauce and pepper. I still like the burger stall near my house there. What special about the burger is the vegetables. I try to review it to you all next time.

Restoran Kampar Fish Jelly (Hakka Mee)

Again I will like to introduce a shop under the Queensbay bridge that I have mention in the earlier post. I have located the road name, it is call Pantai Jerjak but I don't think many will recognise the road name rather call it Sg Nibong.

This place was highly recommend for it Hakka Mee either in dry or curry. I went to this shop before like 2 years ago but never try the mee before. This time I tell myself I had to try it no matter how good/bad it was. The shop does not have a shop name, my friend just recognise it with its blue rooftop. Yes indeed it is very different from other shop. 

Once you went into the shop, order will be taken on the spot not when you seated because you can see what you want to order from the counter. Then process to your table as you like, they know where you sit. I order dry Hakka Mee as my friend recommended but very disappointed, the Hakka Mee is tasteless and I can't manage to finish it too as it is too tasteless. It is that bad? Why not you try it yourself and tell me your opinion? I'm happy to hear from everyone.:)


Fried items still not bad but i don't like the fried item with pork inside. The filling taste rather a bit weird.

 There is also come with a bowl of soup if you order those soup items like yong tau fu.


I spotted this board inside the shop, I guess this is the name of the shop.

Theater-Beta Gundah Gulana


It has been long for me to watch theater, the last time was in KL like 2 years ago. This theater perform for 3 days but I attended the last show. My room mate was the co-director for this theater that is why I'm there. Not that I do not like theater but maybe because usually in USM it is mostly participated by Malays and performed in Malay.I always like English theater. But this change my mind after watching it. All the actor and actress are professional even most of them are students. I like the colour they created using colourful clothes. Different clothes represented different characteristics.

This theater is about a story of a king named Gundah Gulana. He was once a good king, fair and all his people respect him. But then he become a king who abandoned his people and rarely want to discuss about his country's matters. This is where different people came to take over the king's power. Classical Malay theater that it all go back to the time that King was the highest of all. 

A very nice shows I can say although it happened some mistaken during the performance.
