Bistro Mormor at Batu Ferringhi, Penang

"That day I had steak at this bistro in Batu Ferringhi, very nice"

"The price is reasonably cheap and it's very yummy"

We had to try it out after a friend of ours kept talking about this place. Sunday night we decided to take a break from our usual Malay food and decided to give it a try.

The bistro is not located in a proper shop built with bricks and stuff. It's on the left side as you travel up to Batu Ferringhi. It's right in front of McDonalds. 

The food cooked and served are of restaurant's quality so the price isn't as cheap as we would like it to be, given the place that were set up at is by the street. Comfy but no air-con.

We also waited close to an hour for our food to come. Kinda too long, isn't it? But was it worth the wait? 

That you gotta keep scrolling down to find out! :)

A humble shop called Mormor :)

Quite pretty set-up around the bistro. Quite romantic also.

They don't only serve western meals but also local delights. 

Oxtail Soup & Garlic Bread - RM16

He says: Mouthwatering. Served hot and the taste of the oxtail plus pepper is just nice. Together with the garlic bread, this could be one of my favorite appetizer!

She says: The garlic bread is by far the best I've ever eaten. The smell of garlic is so strong and delicious. Okay, maybe not so strong but the taste of garlic is amazing on that bread. The soup is thumbs up. Thick and so delicious. 

Sirloin Barbequed Steak with lots of roasted fresh mixed vegetables, fresh herb potatoes and onion with sauce (Medium rare) - RM28

He says: Look at that. This piece is simply juicy. Come try this one..

She says: For such a huge piece of steak, it was cheap! And super yummy. This is how I like my steak to be. SO YUMMY WEI. Or maybe cos we waited so long so we were really hungry.

Grilled Spicy marinated Chicken with lots of roasted fresh mixed vegetables, fresh herb potatoes and onion with sauce - RM15

He says: Hmmm.. Unique kind of chicken chop by the cook. Recommended!

She says: Masala flavored chicken chop. Meat is tender, masala taste is yummy. Almost taste like tandoori chicken. Quite like this one.

Hong Guan Coffee Shop at Batu Ferringhi, Penang

We used to think that having a meal up in Batu Ferringhi means sure have to spend a lot d since it's a very popular tourist spot.

They have hawker food corner but it's all super expensive.

Then we found a place that not only sells pretty cheap food but also totally nice. Actually, we didn't like find it. More like she recommended it because it's one of the place of her fanily's favourite! 

They don't have a lot of choice when it comes to 'choo char' dishes, but they do have other items like char hor fun, fried rice and fried noodles etc.

After a good cheap meal all the way up north, then it's walk walk at the beach. How romantic, and we didn't have to spend a lot :)

Stir fried bitter gourd - RM5

He says: Lurve this thing even though I'm not a fan of bittergourd. Smells good tastes good!

She says: I love bitter gourd!! Like too much love.. THIS IS THE BOMB! The way he stir fired this dish is simple yet so nice to eat. People who doesn't eat this bitter veg often finds themselves alright with this dish *points on top* :)

Stir fried chicken with dried chilli - RM 6

He says: Kong Po style! You gotta try this.. =) Fried together with onions, dried chilli and garlic, it is hard to go wrong.

She says: Chicken meat, tender. Black Kong Po sauce, thick and delicious. Side veges, crispy and fresh. This dish is the second bomb! :D LOVE IT!

Stir fried prawn with oyster sauce - RM 7

He says: Good. The prawn is fresh and I like the sauce!

She says: This one is not my favorite. Not so much that it is not nice, it actually is the way they cook it with the oyster sauce. Will I order this one the next time? Probably not cos I wanna try others! HAHA.
