Revisited David Brown, Penang Hill

Last month…
I got my 2nd visit to David Brown, Penang Hill with mah family…
On the day Jess backed from S’pore…
Apparently, she was joining us for the dinner…
Due to worse services provided on Valentine’s Day…
Management of David Brown gave all the customers who bought the Valentine’s package a 50% voucher…
The voucher entitled for any food or drink.. with the max of 10 pplz…
How worth is it, yeah !!!
Ha ha… Us, a group of 10 went there for dinner on a random Sunday Nite…
It was lil mOnster 1st trip to Penang Hill… his 1st time took Cable Car… he he
We went up at 6ish.. hope to see the Sunset… too bad..
The weather is bad… cloud has hideaway Uncle Sun… we saw no SunSet… :`(
But still.. the sceneries is breathtaking…
The cool weather simply made people feel so much relaxing… ^^

BUT

The idiot mosquitoes are a lot !!!
We kept asking the waiter/ waitress for mosquitoe coils =.=”
We ordered plenty of foods…
Purpose was to try out as many foods as possible that available on the menu..
Since we got 50 %... everything would be considering cheap.. every price is So Much Reasonable~
*winkz

I gave up the Main Course, and got myself a set of Homemade Scone ( afternoon tea-set, but avail all day long ) and a dessert…
The scone is so so so fantastic !!!
Purely the outlook is different with any scone that offers at any place…
Taste different.. the texture and the taste… but still so Amazing…
Served hot… when put on the homemade cream, butter and the homemade Strawberry jam that you could actually eat the chunky strawberry…
All melted in One.. oh my.. heaven…
Even Jess and Stewpig also melted with it… I think the cool’ish weather has made this pastries more wonderful…

ko ko ordered this Garlic Bread to go with his Tomato Soup...
I know he would still prefer the Tomato Soup from Penang Bowl Canteen...
Jess and Kok o had the Mix-Grilled – Lamb, Beef, Chic, Bacon & Egg…
The looked-like-Mandarin-Orange thingy is actually grilled tomato..
Unbelievable juicy…
Today Special - Roast Beef... for daddy and stewpig...
The Manager told us.. the beef was just fresh roasted in the afternoon...
Rack of Lamb...
this is something like that Main Course Stewpig had during our Valentine's dinner 2 mths back...
Fish & Chips...
despite the fish is fresh.. nothing much special tho..
normally the nothing-special-dish is ordered for mummy...
she doesn't like those special-thingies...
the basic, the best for her...
Je’s Chicken & Mushroom Pie is simply Delicious…
It has an whole egg inside too…
below here is the Beef and Mushroom Pie ordered by Je Fu for sharing...
The Pies here are recommended by the Manager...
Chicken Maryland...
I was so dilemma to choose a dessert from the list.. I wished to try ALL… but I know I got no way to finish em… *sob..
At last, I chose the Fresh Fruit Crumble… wondering how fresh will it be.. it is made upon ordering…
It got the pineapple, papaya, peach and cant-remember-wut inside..
Served with Homemade Custard as well as Vanilla Ice Cream…
It’s tasty.. but I still miss the one in Delicious, KL…
I m sure I will not order this if I were not having the 50% voucher..
A crumble like this costs RM 18.50 considers kinda pricey for me.. I expected it to be served in bigger portion.. but came in this little cup…


We were a bit rush.. as the last trip of cable car operates at 9.15pm…We hafta make sure we won’t miss that orelse all of us will have to take E.L. and have an overnite staying at Penang Hill d… ha ha

Mamaz Day - Xin Kheng Aun Hainanese Food, Julia St

Jackson was in Penang during MaMaz weekend ^^
we seated at upstair..

see how classic and antique is here..I like the light green wall with Wooden furnitures...

the house is cool & windy enough.. we won't feel hot eventho the fan is not switching on... we had the Barley Drink with Barley liap !!! ^^

see how old-style is the technology here...

we can seldom see this kind of ' lift ' in any restaurant no more..

old ppl is smarter..

with this way to deliver foods from downstairs to upper floor... save a lot of labour works... and times... foods could be served quicker and prevent the gravy or dish to spur out during the way runner walk up the stairs to serve foods..

we ordered all the traditional Hainanese signature Dishes...

hehe.. as all of these are our fav too... :P

Ngo Hiong Lor Bak...

Assam Prawn... I don't eat prawn.. but accoridng to mummie.. the one in Sai Kong Garden is nicer..

daddie then explained to us.. both of em using different Recipe to cook this dish...

one is fried the prawn with Assam, another type is marinated the Prawn with Assam prior frying... so... shouldn't have compared...

Jiu Hu Char ( Stir-fry turnip with cuttle fish, minced pork, carrot, spring onion, and lastly Fried Onion on top )


Hainanese Curry Fish Head & ladies fingers

Fish Head Tofu Soup, with minced prawn and pork ball
Onion Omelette
Stir Fry Assam Pork and Pork Liver...
mummie said the pork liver is very nice.. I only eaten the pork cutler... the gravy is tasty ^^

Happee Mamaz Day - Ah Keat Seafood, Raja Uda

2 weeks back...
we celebrated mOmmiez Day at Ah Keat Seafood, Raja Uda... ( on the same main Road with the Famous Nice Emperor Temple )
luckily we had made reservation for a table of 12 in advanced...
we still hafta wait for 75 mins for our foods served...
so crowded...
all the tables were occupied...

we reached there at 8pm... =.="
apparently, all of us were starved...
the freshly squeeze OJ save us...
but it's bit too sweet..
we ordered 2nd jug with No Sugar Syrup !! *weDon'tliKeSWeeT*

daddie brought along one of his collection..
an unique XO from his frens...
see the Chinese Fonts...
yes, it's from China !

I not dare to try with empty stomach..
but daddie said it's nice... should be really strong.. I supposed...

look at the varieties of seafoods...
giant lobsters...
Snow Crabs...
guess.. this is the reason that attracted so many customers...




Us and the customers...

2115.... finally..
our firsh dish came !!!
Fried man tou ~ ^^

to dip in this Claypot Curry Fish, with ladies fingers and eggplants...
this is the additional order..
intially we'd ordered Steamed fish...
during the 75 mins..
we kept smelling the curry aroma flew over from tables around us..
we couldn't help but ordered a small 1... :P
the taste is not bad.. but reckon the curry was a bit thick... hmmm..
Stir-fry Sambal Aparagus with Shrimp...
The Sambal won't be too spicy.. just nice For ME... ^^
Stir-Fry Clam with Spring Onion and Ginger...
one of their signature dish is Clam with Lemon and Garlic..
we ordered the Bamboo Clam with Lemon and Garlic... but only after our clam was served, the waiter told us that the Bamboo Clam was sold out.. it's too late for us to change our clam to lemon recipe anymore...
it looked so Nice on the table next to us... *sniff..
the clam is big and really ' juicy '
Steamed Red Snapper in Soya Sauce..
topped with Celery, Coriander and Ginger...
Steamed Prawn... ( Cheah Zhui Prawn )
ko ko always likes the normal basic decent recipe..
so that he can taste the freshness of the seafoods...

this is huge !!
ko ko is always the best demostrator for seafood-eater...
he he..
and lil mOnster wanna join in too..
the best bun-eater he is... ^^

Signature Deep Fried Homemade Tofu...
It's yummie...
wondering if it's seafood tofu.. should have some else mixture..
as it doesn't taste like the normal tofu.. delicious afterall... ^^

Salted Egg Crabs...
daddie ordered 6..
but it served in a huge portion..
mummie suspected it's more than 6 crabs... :P
the cook is not stingy at all...
the dish was fulled of salted egg yolks... unlike some places more flour than yolks..



Jiu Yim Mantis Prawn.. ( Salt & Pepper )
again.. the mantis prawn is huge and juicy... ( I don't eat... the comment below was provided by ms Je Je & ms ah Yee )
the kam hiong goes well with the mantis prawn...
the salt certainly brought out the beautiful aroma of the mantis prawn..
tasted so fresh and well-flavoured...

Free Fruits - Mango, Guava, Watermelon
