Mikki-G Restaurant at D'Piazza Mall, Penang

Dinner with good friends is always good! And also the best ways for us to try as many food as we can, without having to pay for all. Heh. Smart people works smartly!

This time we traveled to the other side of the island to this place called Mikki-G. Never heard of it before. Never eaten there before too. So, it was surprise surprise meal. We thought it would be a good meal since our pastor suggested it! And the food surprised us both! :) 

Chicken Cordon Bleu (RM12.50)

Stuffed with chicken ham and cheese. Served with mashed potato, stir-fried vegetables and creamy brown sauce.

He says: I like this one.. You can taste the cheeze oozing in your mouth when you bite it. =D 

She says: A typical chicken cordon bleu I supposed. Gravy is quite yummylicious! :)

Spaghetti Carbonara (RM10.90)

With chicken ham and button mushroom.

He says: This one was just okay for me.. A bit too creamy but no much flavour to it.

She says: Never a big fan of creamy carbonara pasta. This one is quite alright. Nothing special to shout about.

Spaghetti Primavera (RM9.90)

Sprnig vegetable.

He says: This dish caught my tongue that night. Tasty! Would definitely go back there for this spaghetti. 

She says: When I looked at it, I was like, "Okay.." but the moment I tasted it, I wanted more! I wanted to like order another plate for myself although I already have a main course. Haha. This one is definitely THUMBS UP!

Crispy Chicken Chop (RM9.90)

Deep fried chicken served with fries, coleslaw and creamy brown sauce.

He says: Normal chicken chop...

She says: Too fried-ish. Usual chicken chop..

Roast Beef Tenderloin (RM18.50)

He says: Like this one.. Tender like tenderloin? haha. The sauce is nice also!

She says: And this is my main course! Like the sauce. The meat is alright. Some of them quite tough. Quite.

Spaghetti Seafood Marinara (RM13.90)

He says: Just another typical spaghetti for me...

She says: Honestly, my mom cooked better pasta. So, maybe because my mom is really good in pasta stuff, my tastebud on it kinda increased too? I don't know.. I don't really like the fried stuff.. Too oily to my liking..

Seafood Combo (RM12.90)

Deep fried fish, prawn, calamari with fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce.

He says: Hahaha. Deep fried stuff is my favourite. Its a little bit dry. Tips: Dip it into the tartar sauce. =)

She says: Don't like! Too fried la. I mean, it's all fried! And there's no like special unique taste also.

Griiled Fish Fillet (RM11.50)

Served with mashed potato, stir-fried vegetables and creamy lemon sauce.

He says: Tastes weird but goood.. Nicely grilled... But the creamy lemon sauce is a NONO for me!

She says: Normal fillet meal. Dipping sauce is funny to me. No idea what kind of taste also.

Double Scoop Ice Cream with Whipped Cream (RM3.90)

He says: Goody!

 She says: Love the topping! Ice cream is always good :)

Borbie Cheese Potato and Snack at Gurney Plaza, Penang

She always walked past this stall and always wanted to give it a try but we never actually stood outside and order. Why? Because for a potato baked kind of food, she felt that it was a bit too pricey. So, we always just walked past it.

Then, one day when we were heading towards Old Town for just some snacks and coffee time, she decided that she wanted to try this time. "Do it for food blog sake!" Yeah.. the reason that always wins. Hahaha. At first, we waited like a good 30 minutes because the lady apparently went to the "toilet"! So okay.. Determination must be there if you want to eat something. Haha!

We finally ordered. And when it came (which was surprisingly fast), we were also given a cup of Iced Lemon Tea. So, it's like Buy 1, Free 1 Iced Lemon Tea. Let's see what we think of it.

The many flavors of Borbie. 

Borbie Special (RM8.50)

He says: Hmmmmmmmmm... Like the pineapples, sausages and brocolli but the corn + weird cheesy sauce made it a bit of a funny taste. Just okay for me.=S

She says: The moment I laid my eyes on the food, I straight speechless. It doesn't look appetizing at all. Hah. The potato feels like its just made of powder instant kind. The gravy to it was a bit too cheesy and creamy for me. After a few mouthful, I felt so "jelak" with it. Don't like it, sorry. Too expensive also for a piece of potato snack.

Gusto Cafe at Tanjung Bungah Hillside, Penang

Wanna know what exactly do the Westerners eat in their far far away land?

You don't have to travel far to try it.

JUST GO GUSTO CAFE!

So, one Saturday noon, we decided to lunch there with a couple of our friends. Time for some bonding you see. Actually, a few of other friends ate there before and mentioned in Instagram that this is a must try, so we decided to go check it outt! :) (and yea, we know the owner/founder of this cafe)

Menu on the board (written by the co-author himself) :)

She was curious how this would taste like.

He says: Hmmm.. Tastes like ginger ale? 

She says: Ginger is the least of my like-to-eat-things, but I just had to try this out. It looks nice and it  was nice. LOVING IT. Only RM2.00!

Cafe Latte/Flat White - RM6.00

He says: Like and love this.. You gotta try this cafe latte peeps! Smells really good. Try adding on double espresso shot if you wanna feel more awake =D

She says: Me no likey coffee. Sorry, don't know what to say also. It tasted.. bitter? (that's usually how coffee is like what)

Pulled Pork (served with wedges and potato salad) - RM15

He says: Pork burger!?! The last time I tasted a pork burger was the samurai burger from Hatyai! This one is  not the same as that though. The meat is simply softtt after being cooked in a slow cooker for 14-18 hours.. However, I think Gusto can add more taste into this though.. Maybe with the meat a bit burned.. The salad is okayyy...  

She says: It's crazy how soft and tender the pork meat is. It's cooked in a slow cooker for many many hours and I didn't even have to chew much! For those who wears braces and just have them tightened, you can still enjoy! Just order this burger! Oh, and the bun that they serve with is wholemeal type. AHH! Goodness add with more goodness! Oh, and their potato salad, GENIUS!

Double Happiness Burger (a.k.a. Heart Attack!) - RM15

He says: THIS IS DA ONE! You people gotta try this like ASAP. The beef was juicy, the cheese was supple and the bacon was fulah! what a great combo.. Plus, it comes with healthy buns and wedges. REALLY, YOU GOTTA TASTE THIS YOURSELF =D

She says: Double the beef patties and double the bacon? And the cheese is not those ordinary sandwich slice cheese. It's those like really gooey and yummy! I LOVE THIS BURGER! I have to say that this is the best beef burger I have eaten so far in Penang! And it's so cheap!! :) *drools*

Cheese Steak Sandwich - RM15

He says: Cheesy and yummy! This one is alright for me =)

She says: Quite like this one. Yummy beef withthe yummy melted cheese. THUMBS UP! :)

Their SPECIAL homemade sauce.

He says: This homemade sauce is specially done by the boss himself. Try this with the wedges =)

She says: Who needs sauce when the burget itself is already so nice, right? Haha. Anyways, I like this one. Nothing extraordinary as I'm not really the sauce-type-of-person but you have to try it! :)
