Paglia E Fieno @ El Mondo

allenooi — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:55:53 +0000

After flipping through the menu for several times, thinking of ordering the set lunch or a la carte, finally, I decided to order the a la carte – Paglia E Fieno.

Paglia E Fieno is a combination of Red & Green Fettuccine with Garlic, Salmon slices, Potato & Olive Oil. The potato and salmon slices come with a very generous portion. It is not a bad choice after all.

Little Castle Cordon Bleu

allenooi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:31:44 +0000

I wanted to try the Cordon Bleu from Little Castle for a long time. However, every time I go, it is on the Wednesday. The Cordon Bleu is on the set lunch menu on Tuesday. Since set lunch is more worth the price, I opt for other choice rather than ordering the Cordon Bleu from the ala carte menu.

Finally, I have the chance to try it on Tuesday. There are 2 choices, chicken or fish. I chose chicken.

If compare to other restaurant, Little Castle Chicken Cordon Bleu is a bit small piece. It comes with the fries and coleslaw. One thing I don’t like, they put the Cordon Bleu on top of the sauce. I prefer they have the sauce separately on a small bowl instead. Taste wise, it is OK, just a normal Cordon Bleu to me, nothing really to shout about.

Assorted Roast Meat and Teowchew Style Bean Curd and Egg with Plain Rice

allenooi — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:08:29 +0000

First time ordering this in Canton-i. Normally, I will order the Wantan Noodle with 2 combinations.

The Wu Bao Fan comes with the chicken, sausage, roast pork, Teowchew style bean curd and egg, total of 5 dishes. It serves with the plain rice and vegetables. It is not bad at all. However, I still like the Wantan Noodle more. This is only my personal preference. The Wu Bao Fan costs RM15.90 (if I am not mistaken).

Tang Yuan

allenooi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:00:06 +0000

If you want to eat tang yuan, you can have it anytime you want. Just go to the grocery store and grab the frozen tang yuan will do. There are a lot of varieties for you to choose from, some with paste and some without. I bought those with paste.

The above 4 glutinous balls are with different paste, which are red bean, peanut, black sesame and mango. Yes, you heard me right, mango! Among the 4, I like the one with peanut the most. Follow by black sesame, red bean and mango.

Kuih Ka Pek

allenooi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 15:47:39 +0000

One of my favorite Chinese New Year biscuit is Kuih Ka Pek. Once I started to eat, it is hard to stop. It makes you to have the urge to eat more and more, nonstop!

It is not hard to make the Kuih Ka Pek, but the steps are really tedious! Some people will put meat floss inside before fold it up. I like that too. Most of the time, it can only be seen during Chinese New Year period. I have no idea why people don’t make and sell it during normal time. If you are good in making Kuih Ka Pek, you can earn a lot just during the CNY time. This is consider a good side income, for you to have extra earning for the coming new year.

Chocolates as Souvenir

allenooi — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 07:20:47 +0000

Chocolates have become one of the popular souvenir items for colleagues. Whoever travel to US, when they are back, they will put the chocolates at their cube, asking colleagues to get it from there. If many people back at the same time, you can expect to get a lot of chocolates. Below are the chocolates I got from my friend who went outstation recently.

I have eaten both of them. They are nice. Although they are fattening, I just ate them without having any thoughts. Evil always win when it comes to desserts. Anyway, thanks so much to my friend for the wonderful chocolates. Yum Yum.

Nissin Noodle

allenooi — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 06:27:30 +0000

During weekend, when I am lazy to go out and get a take out, I will cook the Nissin instant noodle. I like Nissin if compare to other brand. Nowadays, when cooking the noodle, I will add in some other ingredients. This time, I added intimate crab stick and Japanese Egg.

I bought the Japanese Egg for the Sushi. Since I still have some, I sliced it and put into the noodle. For the crab stick, normally I will just cut into half. However, I sliced it too together with the egg. It looks tasty, isn’t it? From a simple instant noodle, you can actually add in many other ingredients to make it more presentable and tasty.

Breakfast: Roti Bakar with Half Boiled Egg

allenooi — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 05:05:45 +0000

I seldom go to have toast bread with egg for breakfast. Not because I don’t like it, I am lazy to wake up early in the morning during weekend and drive for 5-10 minutes just to have the breakfast. During weekdays, normally I will not go out for breakfast.

The coffee shop that sells toast bread with egg is very famous. It is located along the road towards to Penang International Airport.

Toast Bread.

Half Boiled Egg.

Roti Bakar with Half Boiled Egg is definitely one of the good breakfast choices for all the Penangites.

Gelato

allenooi — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 07:00:01 +0000

I like dessert. When I was in the US, I ate quite a lot of the ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt and gelato. I like them so much. However, if talking about the richness and creaminess taste, no one can beat the gelato.

I have this gelato in Gelato Classico. The green tea and the chocolate flavor were just superb. The taste was strong and so good. Not forget to mention about the waffle that came with the gelato. It is another thumbs up. If you never try it, it is a MUST go place for dessert. Yum Yum.

HK Curry Fish Ball

allenooi — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:49:08 +0000

One of the food that you must eat in Hong Kong, Curry Fish Ball.

The fish ball is not that special after all. However, everyone who went to Hong Kong before will definitely eat this. You can get the fish ball almost everywhere, especially in Mong Kok. It costs around HKD7-8 for 10 pieces.

Sashimi

allenooi — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:41:09 +0000

I like Japanese food very much, especially Sashimi. Normally, I seldom order this dish because it is not really cheap. If I have the chance, I will do so.

I bought a take out the other day. The portion is quite generous. It has 4 types with 3 slices each. I like it so much! I will definitely go and order this again.

Goober

allenooi — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 14:36:05 +0000

I like Goober. When I was small, I don’t know it is called Goober. I just know it is peanut butter mix with grapes jam. That time, it is not cheap to me. Until now, Goober’s price is still high, but I can afford to have it now.

There is another version, peanut butter mix with strawberry jam. I tried that once and I am not really like it if compare to the original. Sometimes, I will just scoop it with a spoon and ate it without any bread. Yummy. I just finished mine this morning. Maybe I will go get another soon.

Satay Fried Rice

allenooi — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:41:14 +0000

During the weekend, I went to the coffee shop near my house for dinner, as usual. I cannot think of what to have. The most simple food to order that come into my mind will be the fried rice. So, I ordered the normal fried rice. While waiting, I think of getting the Satay from the same coffee shop, and combine with the fried rice, become the Satay Fried Rice. Such a good idea.

After getting my fried rice, I went towards the Satay stall and ordered. Once I got home, I rearrange the fried rice and satay in the plate for photo taking purpose.

Nice right? You can try out this combination in future. It is really nice, I just love it!

Koay Kak

allenooi — Sun, 29 May 2011 13:35:46 +0000

So, have you guessed it correct on the food I posted previously? Yes, it is Koay Kak!

Now, the Koak Kak is seldom pack into this kind of cone shape. Many of the hawkers use the plastic instead.

Normally, I will only eat this once in a blue moon. It is too oily to me. I started to avoid oily food as much as I can. It is better for my health. No doubt, Koay Kak is nice. Take it once a while should be OK.

Guess…

allenooi — Sun, 08 May 2011 14:02:57 +0000

I seldom see the seller pack the food like this anymore. Normally, they will just use the plastic bag instead. This one is bought by my colleague. I am not sure where she bought it. But, if I am not mistaken, there is one stall in Sungai Nibong also using this packaging.

Do you know what is the food? I will let you know in the next post.
