Love Nutrient 17 Kelawei Fusion Cuisine @ Kelawei Road, Georgetown, Penang.

Unless y'all accept heard of it, y'all would non realize that it's a eating theater from exterior (if non for its signage). 17 Kelawei Fusion Cuisine is an one-time mansion turned cafe/ restaurant, the identify has the "je ne sais quoi" variety of elegance, likely due to the soft lighting as well as English-styled setting... amongst couches as well as old-school tiles. The eating theater has iii dissimilar menus for breakfast, luncheon as well as dinner; nosotros attempted a few dishes on their breakfast menu... a la semi-buffet style. Diners are to gild 1 primary on the carte du jour spell the items on the buffet-table are of unloose as well as unloose flow. While nosotros idea their interior decor was somewhat classy but the carte du jour was uninspiring as well as and lacked of excitement (mostly processed-frozen food). 17 Kelawei is located correct inward front end of Gurney Tower, 2 doors away from UOB Bank on the same road.



Meeting Breakfast (Rm 15.90)


Big Breakfast (Rm 25.90)


Swiss Breakfast (Rm 25.90)

There are 2 dissimilar options- Breakfast Set (Rm 15.90 per item) as well as Breakfast Menu (Rm 25.90 per item), all orders are entitled for the free-flow semi-buffet. Their French Toast was a mediocre dish, Baguette-alike staff of life was used inward lieu of soft-fluffy bread, the lawsuit was a hard-chewy slice of French Toast sans the eggy aroma. The Honey was of ersatz quality, though nosotros did non hold off to meet Maple Syrup hither but the Honey was a tad likewise watery to our liking. 

Both orders nether the Breakfast Menu were every bit disappointing. There were likewise many processed food... which led us to inquiry their sincerity. If in that place was 1 especial that nosotros could commend, that would likely endure their Omelette, which was nicely cooked to the correct texture as well as doneness. Their Potato Rosti was alright but it lacked the crispiness. To our dismay, approximately of the items seemed to endure lacking of a touching on of salinity. If y'all must know... on the buffet-counter, in that place were a nary of exciting items- purely stale staff of life as well as a yoke of decent home-made Jam as good as Coffee/ Tea.

Love Nutrient Lum Khee Wan Ton Mee (林记云吞面) @ Kulim, Kedah.

There's a famous Wan Ton Mee specialist inwards the serene town of Kulim, a curt 10 minute-drive away from Bukit Mertajam (read my previous nutrient trip of Kulim here). Lum Khee has been inwards trace of piece of occupation organisation for to a greater extent than than a decade as well as has been receiving spotlights from the traditional media. Relentless queues tin endure seen every bit early on every bit vii am, nosotros were at that topographic point at 8 am on a sun morning time as well as nosotros had to hold back for xx minutes earlier our plough or perhaps, it was their cooking speed. Probably the regulars are used to the relaxed measuring hither as well as create non demand heed waiting... nevertheless, Lum Khee serves upwards a decent plate of comforting ageless delicacy that would non out of fashion. Lum Khee Wan Ton Mee tin endure industrial plant life correct contrary to the market, inwards the pump of Kulim, Kedah.



Lum Khee's Wan Ton Mee (Rm 4.50/ Large) sees a generous serving of crispy Pork Lards, the noodles were non every bit springy every bit nosotros would bring hoped but the fragrance of the Pork Lards was bold. We would prefer the Soy Sauce to endure to a greater extent than saline besides but if you lot are looking for a plate of old-school styled Wan Ton Mee alongside aplenty of Pork Lards, Lum Khee is your choice.

Love Nutrient Ipoh Curry Mee @ Pepper Estate, Fettes Park, Penang.

Far deep within i of the oldest estates inwards Penang is an one-time wooden family (with a nutrient stall) that sells Ipoh Curry Mee. The aforementioned Curry Mee is known to many residents inwards the neighborhood as well as has been selling for years. We did non uncovering it particularly delicious as well as worth-trying, in all likelihood a gustatory modality that the regulars patrons accustomed to. Well if y'all accept decided to endeavour your luck here, from the entrance to Pepper Estate (off Fettes Park), larn forthwith as well as perish on to Jalan Pepper Estate (do non plow correct to Medan Fettes) as well as movement for a brusk while, y'all volition uncovering this identify correct later on a pocket-size plain (corner unit). 



Ipoh Curry Mee (Rm 4.50/ regular)


Koay Teow Th'ng (Rm 4.50/ regular)

We noticed well-nigh diners had their Ipoh Curry Mee on our visit, nosotros were in all likelihood the solely tabular array that had both Koay Teow Th'ng as well as Ipoh Curry Mee. The broth of the Ipoh Curry Mee seems to travel rather diluted inwards season but creamier than usual. It lacked of the salty-element as well as the overall gustatory modality was compromised. Fragrance-wise was alright but the lack of salinity spoilt the overall taste. Meat lovers tin give notice satisfy their crave for meat at additional toll of Rm 4.50... to occur around home-made Roasted Pork Belly. Their Koay Teow Th'ng on the other hand, was mediocre. Both season as well as texture of the Koay Teow did non stand upwardly out, unlikely a bowl of Koay Teow Th'ng that could operate out me a deep impression. I'd give it a immature lady if I were you.

On a side note, their Ipoh Curry Mee is solely available on every Wednesday, Saturday, Dominicus as well as Public Holiday.

Love Nutrient One One Thousand Regal Chinese Eating Theater (喜粤海鲜酒家) @ The Top, Komtar.

The TOP, i of the State Government's efforts inwards restoring the previous glory of Kompleks Tunku Abdul Razak (KOMTAR) has in conclusion materialized together with the novel nutrient & imbibe hub has in conclusion opened its doors to Blue Planet recently. Gourmands would survive glad to know that the house is expecting quite a reveal of tenants moving inwards together with Grand Imperial Chinese Restaurant is definitely i of the notable ones. Grand Imperial is surely i big cite that yous should accept heard of, the build has many branches nationwide (with i branch at London). We did non larn to examine their commons offering but managed to banking enterprise gibe out their daily Dim Sum menu. There are 2 ways to larn to "The Top"- larn inwards from KOMTAR Walk together with perish on amongst the escalators or via the multi-storey Car Park contrary to Pos Malaysia/ Maybank at KOMTAR; nosotros used the latter option. We saw a familiar scene at the dining hall but sans the Dim Sum carts together with customers perpetually lingering around. Servers frantically churn out a diverseness of Dim Sum dishes- diners are to house their orders together with the servers volition serve them when the dishes are cook (instead of choosing your preferred Dim Sum dishes over the counter). For the comfortable together with elegant ambiance, the cost is at a bargain... amongst close dishes priced inwards the hit of Rm v to 9.......



Siew Mai/ Steamed Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (鲜虾烧卖/ Rm 6)


Baked Egg Tarts (蛋挞/ Rm 5.70)


Ham Sui Kok/ Deep Fried Chicken Dumplings (鸡肉咸水角/ Rm 6)


Har Kao/ Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (虾饺/ Rm 6)

Cha Siew Bao/ Steamed BBQ Pork Bun (蜜汁叉烧包/ Rm 5.70)


Lau Sha Bao/ Salted Egg-Custard Bun (流沙包/ Rm 6)

None of the fragile Cantonese delicacies disappoint at Grand Imperial but their Siew Mai left us amongst the deepest impression. Sliced Meat was used inwards the Pork Dumplings... inwards lieu of the skimp-conventional Minced Meat. The texture was great- describe of piece of job solid amongst a meaty bite, fifty-fifty amend amongst the add-on of crunchy Shrimp. Equally delicious was their Lau Sha Bao, though inwards squeamish portion; the filling was nicely done. It possessed a gritty texture amongst mellow Salty-essence together with expertly sweetened. Dim Sum dishes were higher upward par but the hold off was a niggling long; worth a view nevertheless.

Love Nutrient Uncle Kin Chili Pan Mee @ Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang.

Those who ofttimes patronize the nutrient courts at shopping malls (namely Queensbay Mall together with Gurney Paragon Mall) should live on familiar to the name- Uncle Kin Chili Pan Mee. Uncle Kin is a well-established Penang brand, for the example of Chili Pan Mee. It started amongst a humble get past times having a few hawker stalls scattered roughly the isle but has since moved its operations into nutrient courts. Penangites stimulate got professed their honey for Chili Pan Mee together with their businesses stimulate got chop-chop expanded to Raja Uda, Butterworth. The entire store is dedicated to Chili Pan Mee. Business was brisk on our visit, the store was well-nigh fully occupied fifty-fifty at strange hours (3:30 pm). The fully air-conditioned identify takes on self-service approach- customers are to identify their orders at the counter together with to collect their orders at the collection counter (according to companionship number). While nosotros create concur their Pan Mee is decent but we'd similar to meet to a greater extent than variety... to a greater extent than side dishes would live on great. 



Signature Dry Chili Pan Mee (Rm 6.90)


Chili Pan Mee Soup (Rm 6.90)

We had both Dry together with Soup versions but found their Dry version peculiarly try-worthy. The home-made noodles were carefully cooked to the correct texture together with evenly coated amongst Chili-infused sauce together with topped amongst diverse condiments such equally Deep Fried Anchovies, Minced Meat, Deep Fried Shallots together with a Soft-Boiled Egg. Diners tin post away scoop equally much Chili Flakes equally they similar at the collection counter; the spicy lovers would live on glad to know that the Chili Flakes impart a smoky yet burning sensation to the natural language (though non extremely spicy; to a greater extent than of a gentle heat). The share was alright but those amongst bigger appetite would abide by it a trivial unsatisfying.

The Soup version paled inward comparing amongst the Dry version but it was yet decent. The broth carried a heavy Anchovy season amongst a sleek sweetness towards the end. The broth was made delicious past times blending inward the runny yolk; the dish was most comforting together with suitable to eaten on a regular basis.
