Fresh boiled milk at Line Clear Nasi Kandar


If you drive along Penang Road, you will see a nasi kandar stall crowded with people. This is the very famous Line Clear nasi kandar. Located beside the famous Line's Clear Nasi Kandar is a stall which sells fresh boiled milk.
 on the menus...


the "extra" guest
the place crowded with customers even during the late hours
gelas kecil milo (small glass- milk with milo)

gelas kecil (normal plain milk)
roti canai from Line Clear

The roti canai is not particularly tastier than that of the other stalls.
The plain milk also doesn't really taste any different from the normal milk but the one with milo is indeed very different. It is however not a milo drink. Anyway, milk is believed to be good for health and promotes sleep. So, drop by this stall if you crave for fresh boiled milk. Till then, happy eating!! :)

Mizi, New World Park

Today's post is dedicated to my dear friend, Su, who came back from Australia recently. She was craving for Western food and knowing that she's been someone who can't withstand air-condition place, i've decided to take her to Mizi, New World Park.
Mizi serves a variety of western food from sandwich to poultry to fish. They have set at the price of RM21.90/set which comes with a main meal, drink and dessert. Their ala carte starts from as low as RM12.
Here was what we ordered:



 2 pieces of bread, 1 wholemeal and 1 white which comes complimentary with every main meal

fillet of fish "grenobloise" RM13.50 (lightly egg battered, pan fried with lemon and capers butter sauce, with chef's choice of vegetables)



fillet of fish "lady astor" RM13.80 (pan fried, topped with pineapple and glazed with a horseradish cream sauce)

fillet of fish "almondine" RM12 (pan fried topped with roasted almond flakes and butter sauce)

BearyInformative's recommendation: Almondine is definitely too butterish which causes it to taste a little to salty. Grenobloise is not bad but the best meal to recommend for the day is Lady Astor.

lunch @ Prangin Mall

If you work in town and want to get a quick lunch especially on the days which you have loads of work waiting for you to complete, you should try this place called "Saw Guan Keat", located in Prangin Mall. This shop is rather secluded as it is behind the main shop lots, so you really got to search properly for it. But, do not worry as Beary Informative provides you the address, just scroll to the bottom of this post.
"Saw Guan Keat" is a small business started by a married couple and soon became famous for its herbal chicken rice. So eager to try out what others have been talking about, my colleagues and i decided to have our lunch there yesterday.
And, so these were what we ordered:



sambal chicken rice-RM4.80

bbq sizzling chicken rice (very unique and taste delicious!)-RM4.80

sweet and spicy sizzling chicken rice-RM4.80

what you should try as a first-timer: herbal chicken with rice-RM4.80

jasmine green tea
 
vanilla latte

The drinks cost more than RM2 a cup but if you order any rice dishes, you just need to add RM1 for any of jasmine green tea, vanilla latte, blackcurrant or orange.
This place is rather small but they definitely serve nice and unique food at very reasonable prices. Do stop by if you happen to be at Prangin Mall.
Til then, happy eating!!

Sugar Dynasty @ Nagore Road

Ever had cravings for desserts? And, at the same time, want to have something to fill the stomach? Well, at Sugar Dynasty, you have all the varieties of Chinese-style desserts one can think of. Not only are they good in desserts, they also serve other dishes such as fried noodles, fried rice, fried mantou, etc. Below are what my colleagues and i ordered when we had lunch there a few days ago.



 every table is completed with the set of cutlery, tissue and menus-though the menus look like they need a new look ;)
for any order of main meal (please to menu when you're there), you're entitled to get a cup of home-made herbal tea each
  romaine lettuce with oyster sauce-RM3.50
fried bee hoon-RM4
fried chin choo-RM4
fried maggi mee-RM4
barley with ginkyo nuts-RM2.50
peanut paste-too diluted-RM2.80
double boiled papaya with almond (my all-time favorite)-RM2.70

My colleagues would agree with me that some of the desserts are nice while some are just so-so. In fact the fried maggi mee, chin choo and bee hoon were a little too pricey as they were common hawker food.
Still, i would suggest that this place is a must-go!
