Overview of what we have ordered!
Ice-Blended Red Bean Milkshake, which is locally known as 'Ang Dao Ka' in Hokkien, is the icon drink in Penang. I doubt we see this in Singapore ever in the Bubble Tea shop with a whole list of Ice-Blended drinks. Under the warm weather, the freezy drink chill the mind and cool the body down.
Popian... without 'defining' what is it... Most of the Singaporeans will have the taste in their mind! The one I have it in Penang seem to have more filling then Singapore. Inside the popian, the added in deep-fried pork skin bits (which as 'zhu you zha' in chinese).
This is a most favourite dish in Penang that we have even named it as 'Penang Laksa'. 'Singapore Laksa' is known as Curry Mee in Penang. And Assam Laksa is directly refer to Penang Laksa. The distinct difference between the one I have in Singapore and Penang is the soup base and the noodles. The Soup Base is brewed using Assam fruits and shreds of steamed fishes. Singapore soup base is not as 'thick'/condensed as the Penang. On the 1st try, I fall in love with it especially the handmade udon-like transculent noodles... it's so chewy and goes very well with sour soup..!
Claypot Rice with raw egg on! We have to mix the ingredients and the rice together to get a uniform taste~ The highlight is definitely the 'crispy' rice that are found at the based. Once the pot is being mixed, the 'crisps' will be broken up and scatter. Thus, it forms a crispy taste among the 'soft' taste.
Curry Chee Cheong Fun is a new dish that I come across~ Adding in this dish, we can find fishballs, pig blood cubes, tau pok and slices of cuttlefish... MmmmMmmm!
Rojak... Didn't get the full name from my friend. The main ingredients are from the fried assortment (commonly known as 五香饼) and with a sweet peanut sauce over it. The toppings are cucumbers and carrot shreds...
五香饼, this is the fried assortment that the Chinese love. We will goes with the sauces (shown below). In order to 'mild' the tastes, cucumber slices are provided to refresh the taste buds.
The sweet and spicy sauces...
Tom Yam maggi mee with fish slices and mint leaves is not a common dish in Singapore. The 'thick' soup of Tom Yam flavour and the springy maggi mee fit together nicely. The fried fish slices absorb the essence of the soup. Indeed, a ordinary dish can taste that fantastic!
Guess what is this? I think everyone in Singapore will say noodles with fishball (soup). It's not... The full name is Hokkien Mee! Hahha! It's the same name as the one we have fried one... After eating I think I still prefer the fried type. Definitely, the new 'breed' of the ingredients in soup is also worth trying!

MmmmMmmm... We ordered 1/2 original roasted duck, 1/2 dangui roasted duck, a assorted plate of roasted pork (叉烧 & 烧肉), hotplate beancurd and 马来风光 (stir-fried kangkong with sambal chill) with a individual plate of rice with a choice of white rice or 油 饭 (oily rice - the normal chicken rice we have). The slices of roasted duck is very tender and crispy at the skin! Going with the 卤汁 (stew sauce) and delivering it to my mouth, the taste is indeed fantastic! Same goes to the roasted pork assortment! The sizzling hotplate beancurd jumps in my mouth and it burns my tongue as I ate it too fast! I like the Kangkong dish too as the combination of the fresh Kangkong and spicy sambal chill is indescribable...
To complete the meal, we also got for ourselves their famous 竹蔗马蹄水 (brewed sugarcane with water chestnuts drink). We are surprised to find a sweet piece of carrot inside. Hahah... That's the one!
Fill our stomaches with delights and each of us have just required to fork out a stunning sum of RM 8 (equivalent to SGD 4). Really love the price!

I doubt many of us have heard of Rochester... or even been there? It's jus a 5-10 minutes from Buena Vista MRT Station. You need to keep a lookout for the road sign if not, you will never reach...
It's 'a-ta' (high-class in malay) place according to my ex-colleague cum foodie, Lydia. It is indeed! You can see quite a few caucasians' families came to dine there. As the restuarant is ornamented to the theme of cozy-ness with a tinge of trendiness, it's made the best place to chill-out.
We had the chocolate buffet which is their easter day special. Mmmm...so chocolatey! Definitely, a thick creamy fondue is not to be missed out. Marshmallows, apricots, strawberries halves, honeydew cubes and more fruits are lined up to be dipped! On top of the highlight, there are different kind of cakes to fill up our stomaches! In order to neutralised the sweet taste, fruity sorbets, pancakes, waffles are been offered.
MmmmMmmm...Indeed chocolicious!
The items in the menu looked good too! I love the service there as they will serve you with a bright smile and get your feedback for the food served.
Honestly, I will bring my friends there to chill-out but must make sure your wallet have enough money. Affordable for working adults but for students...a bit expensive. =D
