Rolling Butterfly (Rm 7.90)


Sweet Potatie (Rm 5.90)

Awakenings certain knows how to play amongst colors; all dishes are carefully crafted amongst vibrant colors. The Rolling Butterfly is i of the items on offer- Vietnamese Spring Rolls amongst Vermicelli Noodles, crunchy Greens together with a behavior on of Butterfly Pea... served amongst refreshing low-cal dip (no Fish Sauce- meatless place). Texture was bright but the seasonings were weak; maybe without Fish Sauce, the Vietnamese delicacy would non shine. 

Sweet Potatie was something unusual, Steamed Sweet Potato served amongst Sour Cream together with Caramel, garnished amongst dried Cranberries, Raisins together with desiccated Coconut. The concoction was unproblematic all the same complex amongst flavors together with texture... quite an acquired taste. No complaints for that cost though.


Eggless Pumpkin Tarts (Rm three for 3)


GSC- Tortilla Chips amongst Guacamole together with Salsa (Rm 4.90)

We were non convinced past times their Eggless Pumpkin Tarts at start but these niggling crumbly tarts were beyond amazing. It was mildly sweetened amongst a mellow Pumpkin later taste. The buttery-aroma was bold but everything simply blended good together. GSC was fun together with addictive to munch on but nosotros sentiment the Guacamole could piece of job a low-cal behavior on of seasoning; also, nosotros sentiment the component could last slightly larger. We washed everything downwards amongst a drinking glass of Cold Pressed Fruit Juice.

Love Nutrient The Will's Brasserie @ Epitome City, Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

The Will's Brasserie tin dismiss hold upwardly easily stereotyped every bit the conventional-boring Western nutrient inward the neighborhood, at to the lowest degree both the interior as well as outside decor did non convince us but if you lot were to written report the carte thoroughly, you lot volition uncovering that it's genuinely a house offering premium steak cuts as well as seafood. There's a display refrigerator at the terminate of the eatery where ambitious meat eaters tin dismiss alternative their preferred cuts as well as pay according to the weight of the meat (same goes to Seafood).

New Zealand Lamb Loin amongst Red Wine Sauce as well as Baked Rosemary Potatoes (Rm 29.40/ past times weight)


Crab Olio Spaghetti (Rm 26.90)

We were informed that Steaks as well as Lamb Loins are their specialties but nosotros were inward celebratory mood to splurge... then nosotros decided to larn for the basic New Zealand Lamb Loin, served amongst Red Wine sauce. We requested for medium rare but the meat was slightly overcooked. Fortunately, the texture was alright as well as the Red Wine sauce was cleverly seasoned. The alcohol flavor was mild but discernible as well as paired good amongst the meat. Our alone wishing was the component subdivision could hold upwardly larger. 

Crab Olio Spaghetti did non disappoint, nosotros were pleased to run across the generous sum of flaky Crab meat as well as Fish Roe. Pasta was al-dentely cooked as well as expertly seasoned. The dish was multi-dimensional, particularly amongst the add-on of the pulpy Fish Roe which introduced the outburst of Seafood essence to the dish, coupled amongst the sweet, flaky Crab Meat as well as a hint of spiciness; quite an outstanding dish I must say.

Love Nutrient Viet Nutrient Vietnamese Eating Seat (越南餐馆) @ Taman Kheng Tian, Jelutong, Penang.

The newly opened Viet Food Vietnamese eating seat is for sure non brusk of Vietnamese contest inward Jelutong surface area but inward price of multifariousness together with execution, it stands on its own. Housed inward i of the store houses inward Taman Kheng Tian (behind Old Town Perak Road), Viet Food is non an piece of cake spot that catches the eye. The interior is cramped together with filled with Vietnamese staff that struggles to utter local dialects, non fifty-fifty basic English; but the house has a goodness showing of Vietnamese locals. We were non surprised. The card is large plenty that it took us a spell to browse through; the quintessential Vietnamese eats are at that spot every bit good every bit scatters of the unexpected (such every bit Balut, Banh Mi, Fish Cakes together with authentic Vietnamese sugariness treats). Bounteous offering, budget-friendly, authentic together with top-notch food; i of the best places for Vietnamese delicacies inward Penang. 



Grilled Beef Vermicelli Noodles (Rm 8.90)


Beef Pho (Rm 8.90)

Nothing beats the classics, both Grilled Beef Vermicelli Noodles together with Beef Pho were beyond amazing. The sometime dish comes with a generous helping crunchy greens together with expertly crafted Fish sauce dip, noodles were perfectly cooked to the correct doneness together with extra touches similar Coriander together with toasted Peanuts sure won my heart. Wholesome broth, lightly cooked Beef together with Noodles with condiments similar Thai Basil, Lemon, Rau Thom (Vietnamese Thorny Coriander). The broth was clean, straight-forward but near comforting. It for sure reminded us of the ones nosotros had inward Ho Chi Minh City. One nipper negative though, the serving speed was slower than expected.


Banh Mi- Omelette (Rm 6.50)


Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Rm 5.90 for two)


Stewed Yam with Coconut Milk (Rm 5.90)

If y'all are a huge fan of Vietnamese Baguette- Banh Mi, y'all tin laissez passer on notice uncovering them hither at Viet Food. The crust was crisp together with the inner breadstuff was carefully stuffed with Omelette, Pâté together with crunchy greens. Those who hatred the gamey olfactory belongings of innards should approach with caution; driblet Pâté otherwise. Another praise-worthy dish would hold upward their Stewed Yam with Coconut Milk, a traditional sugariness process inward Vietnam. The Yam was slow braised till fork-tender together with cooked with Coconut Milk. The texture powerfulness non hold upward also pleasant (extremely gooey) but the flavors were explosive. Drop a scoop into the oral fissure together with y'all volition sense of savour the intense Yam flavour with creamy, milky Coconut afterward taste. The exquisite sugariness delicacy is best shared alongside diners.

Love Nutrient Chia Bee Eating Seat (佳美河鲜饮食馆) @ Pinang Tunggal, Sungai Petani, Kedah.

Approximately 8 km away from Sungai Petani town, Chia Bee is known as a recreational location ideal for angling as good as a house to feast on freshwater fishes. The eating seat is tucked away from the primary street as well as tin post away exclusively survive flora alongside navigation system. Once y'all are almost to the entrance, follow the signage as well as brand your agency through the wood as well as a row of light-industry factories; the eating seat tin post away survive flora at the halt of the road. There are ii angling ponds side past times side, correct side past times side to the restaurant. The heat-intolerant mightiness survive frustrated as the house is non air-conditioned but diners are to survive rewarded alongside a serene scenery. Those who are dandy tin post away test their luck at the pond (3 hours for Rm 30, angling tackle as well as tools must survive prepared past times the fishers), the harvest tin post away as well as then survive cooked as well as served at the restaurant. The card is non big but y'all tin post away say their endeavour inward serving the best-quality dishes. Food's criterion but this could survive a prissy house to stop-by for a quick as well as brusk weekend getaway from the hustle as well as bustle urban heart life.



Steamed Udang Galah alongside Chinese Wine (Rm 130 per kg)


Oil Poached Patin (Rm 34 per kg)


Steamed Cat Fish alongside minced Ginger sauce (Rm 48 per kg)

Freshwater goodies inward their unadulterated best, the Steamed Cat Fish alongside minced Ginger Sauce was well-executed. Pockets of fats as well as pristine white flesh were best enjoyed alongside the zingy Ginger sauce. The fish was fresh as well as the flesh was firm; alongside a nary of unpleasant fishy stench. Patin was every bit fresh as well as savory but I'd personally prefer the fish to survive steamed. Fresh River Prawns were undoubtedly amazing, the sweetness of the alluring golden Roe spoke for itself. 


Stir Fried Yellow Noodles (Rm 10)


Stir Fried Qing Long Leaves (Rm 10)


Claypot Tofu (Rm 9)

We assuaged the guilt past times having or therefore crunchy greens, the Stir Fried Qing Long Vegetables were alright, a prissy blend alongside the sweet, crunchy Bean Sprouts. It could survive amend alongside or therefore crushed Dried Flounder though. Stir Fried Yellow Noodles on the other hand, was disappointing. The noodles were slouchy as well as the dish was veering towards the salty side. Claypot Tofu was every bit disappointingly average too.


Fresh Coconut Juice (Rm 3.50 per Coconut)
