Went to T.G.I. Friday’s for the second time. Again, department pay for the visit. 🙂

Remember I mentioned about the old menu during my first visit? Yeah, T.G.I. Friday’s changed a new one! This is the front of the menu.

Back of the menu.

We are so hungry. We quickly grab the menu and order for the food. 🙂

While waiting for the food, I was playing with my friend’s camera. It’s a Nikon.

This is the food I ordered, is the Jack Daniel’s Salmon. My friends also ordered the same dish, but the salmon came in different size! My friend asked, why so unfair? Hahaha. The grilled salmon (I think it’s grill) was good. I like the mashed potato a lot. The vegetables were as usual, not that special. There was a sauce came with the salmon, the Jack Daniel’s sauce. The sauce was mix with a little bit of wine. I was not really like it though. Just OK to me.

My another friend ordered Key West Grosper. It’s the fish fillet with vegetables.

Overall, the food was standard, meet the food quality. The only concern is the price. It was too expensive for me.

Almost every time, for our shift team building, we will go for eat. We always plan of going other place but end up will be eating eating eating. For last quarter shift’s team building, we went to T.G.I. Friday’s. This is the very first time I went there.

The menu. They are quite old. They should change a new one, and they really did. Please check on the Part 2 post.

The Sirloin and Roasted Lamb. Check out the price, they are not cheap!

Chicken & Shrimp, Chicken Strips and Lynchburg Lemonade. Oh My God!!! RM18.90 for one lemonade!!! We can eat a lot of nice food with RM18.90!

The cutlery.

The environment was quite nice.

I ordered this drink, Fudge Milk Shake. This is very nice! A bit sweet but I just like it. I ordered the same drink again when I was there last week. Again, please stay tune on the Part 2.

My friend ordered the lunch set, which comes with this appetizer, Fried Cheese. I just loved it.

This is the main course for myself, Jack Daniel’s Chicken & Shrimp. It looks so nice in the menu but the serving seems not nice at all. Jack Daniel’s Chicken & Shrimp comes with breast chicken meat, fried shrimps, mashed potato, vegetables and served with the Jack Daniel’s sauce.

This is the dessert from my friend’s lunch set. It’s the brownie. It was very nice and I ate almost the whole slice since my friend cannot finish it. I was lucky. 🙂

Overall, T.G.I. Friday’s was not a bad restaurant. The price for the food was a bit expensive but the price for the drink was totally too expensive!! The environment was good. I heard that, if you are having birthday at T.G.I. Friday’s, you will need to stand on top of the chair. I never experience that and I hope I can see that in future.

On the second day of the team building, we also have a buffet lunch, but this time it was at another restaurant. I ate not much this time.

The spaghetti was very very nice. You can actually what want, either spaghetti, macaroni, or others.

A closer view.

Of course, I will not miss my ice cream. 🙂

I didn’t take the photo of my main course. It was just a normal buffet food, not really special.

This is from my friend.

Dessert is the main course to me. I like desserts!!!

Last but not least, my beloved ice cream. Yummy Yummy.

I was so full on that day.

Finally I bought the McDonald’s Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe and try it out. I have seen the advertisement for some time. The other day, I saw it again in the newspaper, it was the whole page advertisement. The advertisement really works. At least, it works on me. 🙂

This Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe was super yummy. If you like the normal Spicy Chicken McDeluxe or the Zinger Burger from KFC, you should not miss this Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. The chicken was good and spicy. However, if you are not a big eater, normal McDeluxe will just be fine for you. I was full after eating the meal set which comes with the fries and coke.

You can get the Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe from any McDonalds outlet from all around Malaysia.

For those who know me, I like prawns very much.

This is the Asam Ko Prawn cooked by my mum. They are nice, I can finish all of them. But of course, I never did that. I need to leave some to others. 🙂

I like all kind of dessert, Bee Ko Moi is one of them. Bee Ko Moi is in Hokkien. In English, it is called Black Glutinous Rice Broth. In Malay, is Pulut Hitam.

I bought this Bee Ko Moi from one of the coffee shop in Sungai Nibong, opposite the Public Bank, beside the fly over towards Queensbay. Beside the coffee shop is the vegetarian restaurant. I hope you know where is it. It is just a stall. The stall is selling the economic fried noodle, bee hoon, chai kuey, fried popiah, chai tao kuih, kuih talam and etc.

Normally, coconut milk is added to the Bee Ko Moi before it is served. Some people who don’t like the coconut milk can eat without putting it. When I was a kid, if my mum is cooking the Bee Ko Moi, I will put a lot of coconut milk into it. It is very nice to eat the Bee Ko Moi with a lot of coconut milk.

I went out for my supper at Makbul Mamak stall last night. Actually I only wanted to have a cup of coffee. But in the end, I ordered Maggi Goreng.

The Maggi Goreng was served with the fried egg on top. I prefer the egg to be fried together with the noodle, it will taste better. It was a bit spicy but I am OK with it. The one who fried the noodle put too much water into it, make the noodle not dry enough. I would suggest the noodle to be fried a little bit longer. This Maggi Goreng costs RM3.

Overall, Makbul Maggi Goreng was just a normal fried noodle. I can fried better than this one. 🙂

There are 2 whole pages of advertisement on P1 W1MAX on today newspaper. They are having promotions at the moment. For those who sign up before 30 Sept 2008, the modem will become a FOC item for you. If not, the price will be at RM999. Expensive huh?!

From the advertisement, it stated if want to get more information, can go to their website. However, when I was in the website, there are no information about the coverage, it posted coming soon on that page. I really want to know the service is it only applicable for KL area. I pick up the phone and called their customer service. I have waited for 3 minutes and the call drop it self. The auto reply message keep telling me the customer service was busy at that moment. After the call dropped, I never call back.

Is Penang having this service? If not, when it will come to Penang? Anyone have any idea?

I have 2 RM10 Coffee Bean vouchers which will expire by tomorrow. I don’t want to waste them, so I went to Coffee Bean at Queensbay to grab some ice blended coffee and cake.

My Mocha Black Forect Ice Blended.

My cake. What cake is that?

Ta da…… It’s the Chicago Cheese Cake.

Another view of the cheese cake.

Both ice blended and cheese cake are good. The taste is so nice.

The ice blended costs RM13.80 and cheese cake costs RM7.90. I still need to pay additional RM2.80 but it was OK. There are really nice!

I followed my colleagues to Queensbay to have lunch last Friday. For those who is working normal shift, they entitle for 2 hours lunch on Friday but not for me. I only have 1 hour since I work shift.

I reached there at 12.40pm. My friends already reached 1 hour ago. They helped me to order the food in advance. When I reached with another colleague, they have finished their food. For our food, they asked the waiter to re-heat it. They are so nice!

Within a minute, my food came. Ta Da……..

The quarter chicken looks so small to me. Do you think the same too?

Menu.

I managed to go back to the office within 1 hour. Thanks to Alicia, who fetched me from the office and back to the office on time. 😉

During the festival (Chinese New Year) or praying time (Cheng Beng, Month of July), there is one dish that my mum will cook, Bang Kwang Char. Some call it Jiu Hu Char.

It’s very simple actually. First, you need to prepare all the ingredients: carrot, bang kwang, mushroom and jiu hu (cutter fish).

After that, start with putting the mushroom into the wok, followed by carrot. The last ingredient will be the bang kwang.

Use the cover and cover the wok for few minutes.

Ta Da…… Here’s the delicious Bang Kwang Char.

Genting Chee Cheong Fun is the best Chee Cheong Fun in the whole Penang island. I like it so much! the sauce is very unique, especially the chili sauce.

If I passed Genting before having my lunch, for sure I will go there and buy it. Normally I will buy it and eat at home.

This is the Chee Cheong Fun stall. Nowadays, the boss is letting the Indonesia maid to help on handling the business. They are fluent in Hokkien!

I want to take the photo when the seller chop the Chee Cheong Fun. But I was too slow. I also scared the seller will scold me for taking the photos. I only managed to take the look of the stall.

This is the Chee Cheong Fun that I bought back home. I asked for more chili. This time, it was too spicy. I think next time I need to think over before asking for more chili.

Oh my, I want to have it again and again!!! SLURP~~~

Do you know the name? Is it called Sponge Cake? I only knew it in Hokkien, we called it Kei Nui Kor. In Mandarin, it should be 鸡蛋糕. If direct translate from Mandarin to English, it will be Egg Cake.

I love it a lot. Sometimes, I will buy it from the bakery stall. Last time, the price will be RM2 for a packet with 6 pieces inside. Now, I have no idea on the price. For sure, it will not be RM2 anymore.

So, what is the name in English? Anyone?
