The company had a special Japanese whisky tasting seminar. The seminar was held by Suntory and they explained the methods of distilling whisky, ingredients etc. It was an interesting 45 minutes to say the least. The smell of whisky was strong in the air as we approached the room, a testament of so called 'notes' of the whisky we were about to try.<br />

Three covered glasses was placed on top of a piece of paper explaining the various characteristics of the whisky. We walked through the colour, the notes ie what we expect to smell from the whisky, and what it tastes like. What I learned that you need to return the glass to the nose a few times for you to pick up the various notes they explained. I did manage to identify the fruits and vanilla after a while. Not well, mind you, but enough for me to follow the seminar.<br />

The first is the Hamazaki 12 years old. This is a pretty strong smelling, strong tasting whisky which doesn't really suit my palate at all. While it is supposed to be fruity, the first thing you notice is the strong smell of alcohol for some reason. It was the opinion around the room as well.</div>

The next up is the Hakushu 12 years old. This whisky had to be my favourite of the night. On the nose, it was soft and fruity. On the palate it reminded me of a dry wine, which is always a favourite. There was a smoky peaty taste that wasn't a hit with quite a few people. But I didn't mind it at all.</div>

The last was the favourite of many, the Hibiki 17 years old. It was a rich amber with strong fruits and lily on the nose. It tasted rather sweet but was smooth as silk. It tasted a lot stronger than the Hakushu. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a very interesting seminar that taught me appreciate whisky a little more. But I learned that I would probably not enjoy Scottish whisky and I might pick up a bottle on the way back from Japan at the end of the year.</div>

It helps that it is still not the height of summer and there is a cool breeze to help with the spiciness from the food. Not that Australian Indian food is very spicy.</span><br />

Look at the varieties of curries we had decided on. Butter chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Vindaloo and and Konkan Curry Prawn. All lovely and pretty mild even if they claim it is 'medium'.</div>

Hopefully things will change in the coming year. Yep, that should be my New Year's resolution (that I hope I won't break in coming months).<br />
<br />
I have seen Jamie Oliver's restaurant for a while now and it is always packed and there is always a line. Today, we wandered into Jamie's due to a slight hiccough in Fratelli Fresh (we greedy buggers were way too early).<br />

White Chocolate Pistachio éclair, Berry Macarons and Brownie with Clotted Cream. The brownie wasn't what I expected. While it was rich, I didn't really like it that much. The berry macaron was lovely, without that sticky texture I had gotten used to in Malaysia. The eclair was perfection. The white chocolate wasn't too sweet. </div>

The second tier was crystal bay prawn and cucumber bruschetta and orange and vanilla crème brûlée. The prawns were fresh on a layer of crispy cucumber. Lovely! My favourite of all was the creme brulee. It was not too heavy with the right amount of citrus that balanced out the sweet. I was literally moaning through it. </div>

The last layer was: smoked chicken and asparagus finger sandwich and duck confit pie with eschalots and merlot jus. The sandwich was good but not particularly memorable. The duck was lovely with the duck not too stringy. </div>

Here we are again and so soon. New colleagues loves the whole yum cha
scene and quite honestly, in the last 4 months I've been in Sydney,
I've only had one other time of yum cha. It was a restaurant in Rhodes
that only allows patrons 2 hours at the table. After watching the
ridiculous line building up when we left, I think I can understand why.<br />
<br />
This
time, we went to Marigold Restaurant along George Street in Chinatown. I
furiously looked up reviewed prior to going there and noted they were
quite famous. That is to say there aren't bad reviews thrown at them
ranging from tasteless food to bad service, but overall, I was quite
optimistic about what I was about to partake.<br />

Char Leong. This was rather hard to make I feel because if not freshly made and served, the Yao Char Kwai will be soft and therefore totally disgusting. This was warm, with the Yao Char Kwai crispy to taste. Served with dipping sauce, it made for a satisfying crunch. </div>

Munchie has left the warm shores to Malaysia behind and has relocated to bright (sometimes too bright), sunny (nowadays TOO sunny) Australia.<br />
<br />
I've been going around doing the touristy things and learning about what's good in the land Down Under. This will be a collection of my foodie adventures up to now.<br />

Let's start with something quintessentially Australian. I was taking a walk to get to know the Sydney beaches and landed in Manly. Feeling peckish, I found a cafe opposite the beach which right now the name completely escapes me. But the above is two things that I have always wanted to try: Kangaroo and croc. Yes, you read correctly, meat from the tail of a crocodile. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kangaroo tastes like a milder version of beef and the croc has a clean palate, like white chicken breast, thought less stringy. Definitely a must try.</div>

After my first ever paycheck in Australia, a couple of new colleagues and I went to try Max Brenner, the almighty chocolate and dessert cafe. This one was situated along George Street right at Wynyard Station. The top was Belgian waffles with chocolate ice cream, bananas and strawberries. While I love the ice cream, the waffles was just pedestrian. It's not mind blowing and it's something that I've had before. </div>

Have anyone ever tried chocolate pizza? This is definitely a must have in Max Brenner. Crunchy with cornflakes and chocolate cereal with marshmallows masquerading as the cheese in a normal pizza. It gave this dessert that 'stringy' quality cheese had in a savoury pizza. Fabulous and unforgettable. </div>

This was supposedly another must have at Max Brenner, their chocolate sandwich. Chocolate (or any other flavour ice cream) sandwiched between two soft cookies... Only the cookies weren't exactly so soft. I definitely did not like this at all. The cookie was so hard to get through and ended up stuck in my teeth because it was too chewy. </div>

This was something I tried around a week ago. There is something called the <a href="http://www.eatarttruck.com/" target="_blank">Eat Art Truck</a> going around Sydney serving food from a brightly art-decorated truck. They had a few dishes only but the line waiting was long, a testament of good food. This was the beef with kimchi salad. The bread was soft and warm while the beef was succulent and well stewed.</div>

Today, I bring Chatterbox, which I had written off earlier during a visit a few years back. However, since they have moved to a more central location opposite Toys-R-Us on the first floor of Bangsar Village I, I am happy to say that I have been proven wrong.<br />

That's right, not normal tasteless white rice, but lovely fried rice. The rice perfectly fried and tasty.<br />

When you're around that area, stop by for a quick snack and I am sure you, like me, won't be disappointed.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Steamed 'Turbo' fish with chef's special preserved olive and black bean sauce. This was an odd dish as I found it slightly fishy while the rest of the family said it tasted just fine. Perhaps I have a love hate relationship with fish in general. The meat was perhaps a little too firm than what I'm used to with fish as well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was staring at the board and there was one fish that's called Empurau or 'Cannot Forget' that is directly translated from Cantonese. Why Cannot Forget? Because one freaking fish can cost up to RM1,000. After paying that amount of money for a fish, you definitely 'cannot forget'. Your wallet will remember you for life as well. But... we didn't have that of course.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

While the first is relatively easily found, the second is not. Then again, you will have to pay for quality.<br />

Having gone to a really screwed up excuse for an 'Online Business Seminar', I have discovered this place quite a while ago and recently went back.<br />

But I have always felt that their Japanese fair would be good as well. There is a very large Japanese community there. I would assume (and rather rightly) that there would be some really excellent Japanese food there.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okonomiyaki. I have always disliked this dish. there was always something off about it when I tasted it elsewhere.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Home made ice cream. We chose two flavours green tea and black sesame. Macha and goma. When they said home made, they really meant home made. I never liked green tea since there is always this slightly bitter taste to the ice cream. This was smooth and silky, sweet and velvety. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The goma ice cream tasted like it had just been grounded with large chunks of the black sesame seeds still in it. This is a definite must try at Isaribi Tei.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were not disappointed with what were served at Isaribi Tei yet. So, when you are around Penang, along Jalan Chow Thye, do not miss this chance for truly excellent Japanese fare.</div>eatbitemunchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991494046053984645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327194859796155446.post-35928068241115019162011-04-12T22:18:00.000+08:002011-04-12T22:18:36.706+08:00Penang Redux 9We are back to hawker fare. This time, we (well, I) went on a hunt for Loh Mee. There is something addictive about noodles drenched in dark sticky sauce.<br />
<br />
This place is called Sar Tiau Lor (3rd Road) or Lebuh Pesgrave.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwKOiEgrQieEoDuozuzr3WesnwiicZXKiPLCbsb-PIHYYfn9NyovzZmPAK8JAQ3iXzXrau01V2VAk_21_ZUPoylA4BffODFSSggTxHUqfXc9D72PJcKAYkrYo-N1HCnyqxYIj5eAalsWy/s1600/DSC03766.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJwKOiEgrQieEoDuozuzr3WesnwiicZXKiPLCbsb-PIHYYfn9NyovzZmPAK8JAQ3iXzXrau01V2VAk_21_ZUPoylA4BffODFSSggTxHUqfXc9D72PJcKAYkrYo-N1HCnyqxYIj5eAalsWy/s320/DSC03766.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We saw this pile of deliciousness on our way into the coffee shop. The Or Chien was slightly spicy, as evident by the slightly reddish egg. Large oysters decorated the fluffy fried egg. Good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQuZJXUf-0f0HpCDuQaduqgyDhBzowBw-X3cJfAkg5ClB33lDJurMKah3boTFSvIVCg7xglk2DTkH952s1P9RYqZP6sSD-XRR6H9FRBIvGmWD4fgMjeJ9t_ZFZ_EyPMT8H4NqBExK-jsUa/s1600/DSC03762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQuZJXUf-0f0HpCDuQaduqgyDhBzowBw-X3cJfAkg5ClB33lDJurMKah3boTFSvIVCg7xglk2DTkH952s1P9RYqZP6sSD-XRR6H9FRBIvGmWD4fgMjeJ9t_ZFZ_EyPMT8H4NqBExK-jsUa/s320/DSC03762.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And this was the reason we came. Loh Mee, dark, delicious and sticky. Hiding within the dark depths were pork ribs. Oh my God, to melt for.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio4gjRuT5lC80S_y-BEDaER09_HHVk4OlFNSfqropHJmh7tyoWOUAauDpLuOLygYbWCljnL-Q7wCB_VjHhYywWsaH27TIj7D_WttGSF4g9g5OSqJlxVBrr74WWS0e-ckHczeaFPnADnN7i/s1600/DSC03763.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio4gjRuT5lC80S_y-BEDaER09_HHVk4OlFNSfqropHJmh7tyoWOUAauDpLuOLygYbWCljnL-Q7wCB_VjHhYywWsaH27TIj7D_WttGSF4g9g5OSqJlxVBrr74WWS0e-ckHczeaFPnADnN7i/s320/DSC03763.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's odd that in Penang, wherever you have Loh Mee, you will have Prawn Mee. You can mix the two together but in this case, I preferred them separate. The soup was sweetened by prawn stock and the infusion of pork ribs. Very good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Another time, we went to Penang's famous cendol. Years of history covered the walls of the small shop that sold Asam Laksa, though we didn't try it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKCbV0KLC_rTlqbc49KUw5TaEmh_uqF_bfIVKo29oy0j9rwIEmu__16J5_bOFqfsgx1dTvMOCnnfPiKnGhuWN1h2tP30YT5slRx8KGcMoqSBLl6Herr6yWtsra_wr3kld-KnQoVRoJUJEO/s1600/DSC03685.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKCbV0KLC_rTlqbc49KUw5TaEmh_uqF_bfIVKo29oy0j9rwIEmu__16J5_bOFqfsgx1dTvMOCnnfPiKnGhuWN1h2tP30YT5slRx8KGcMoqSBLl6Herr6yWtsra_wr3kld-KnQoVRoJUJEO/s320/DSC03685.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Walls and walls of pictures graced the shop, attesting to its long history.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtbebxV96g2E3XSTnAPnAhmr9Rzwq9sKtHHQRy-EeNSU46Nk_zu0rjCVPq5lHtpbc7LbhoBJHNfcW9C5vkOQvQRdR-dd9Le0QQbbyaaZwjAo-aAoII5y9Qgp0vSZBRxeqmxu4smrcqOZF/s1600/DSC03688.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYtbebxV96g2E3XSTnAPnAhmr9Rzwq9sKtHHQRy-EeNSU46Nk_zu0rjCVPq5lHtpbc7LbhoBJHNfcW9C5vkOQvQRdR-dd9Le0QQbbyaaZwjAo-aAoII5y9Qgp0vSZBRxeqmxu4smrcqOZF/s320/DSC03688.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And here come dessert. I am usually not a fan of Cendul. But this was surprisingly good. For a hot day, this went down cool and refreshing. While the actual stall is along Penang Road in an alley, we can have it in the coffee shop slightly further down. They had a newer restaurant near Komtar Building but I prefer to stand in the alley and sip it down.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Call me crazy.</div>eatbitemunchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991494046053984645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327194859796155446.post-80129483593934894272011-04-10T19:41:00.000+08:002011-04-10T19:41:52.021+08:00Penang Redux 8There was some mix up in the billing the last time I stayed in Evergreen Laurel Hotel. Me being me, made a big fuss about it and this time around, the sales person in charge of my company's account took us for an 'appreciation dinner'. I think it was more of an apology for the screw up.<br />
<br />
Excellent PR though. I was less annoyed after the effort. Since I was a long stay guest, they had given me some buffet dinner vouchers. The Colleague and I had tried their buffet dinner to our disappointment. That's why when the sales executive asked us where we wanted to eat, we jumped on the Chinese Restaurant located on Level 1. We saw many, many advertisement many, many moons back in the Malaysian Tattler about it being the best Chinese restaurant in Penang.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">To my disappointment, I learned that a few years back, they turned it into a halal establishment. But I was willing to give this place a try.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp_ma1S0ds0qdH6QPqweh8CTOSzAn3fnZ9yubDfomqOKsKyU9MuBtw_ROih0Qzj05NVJMktIuqE6pz6gCjBFVel2C0if9cPJKaC7v9xdy_I5cLnzl51qw-j7ol3YOYyxrzNkmmzMgnfB7h/s1600/DSC03667.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp_ma1S0ds0qdH6QPqweh8CTOSzAn3fnZ9yubDfomqOKsKyU9MuBtw_ROih0Qzj05NVJMktIuqE6pz6gCjBFVel2C0if9cPJKaC7v9xdy_I5cLnzl51qw-j7ol3YOYyxrzNkmmzMgnfB7h/s320/DSC03667.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The appetiser came free with any meal. I honestly can't say I can remember what this tastes like.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The soup that is supposed to mimic sharks fin. It was tasty and there were interesting little crunchy bits in there.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of regular white rice, we were served fried rice. This was very fragrant and well fried, each little grain of rice fluffy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thai style chicken. Absolutely delicious. The chicken was crispy and the sauce the perfect blend of sweet and sour.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We were told that this is one the chef's speciality. And we could see why. Our Salad Prawn had a slight twist to it that made it quite unique. I would have imagined the prawns to be drowning in the batter but to my surprise, each prawn was crunchy and the batter only thinly covering them. The salad sauce thinly coated each fried prawn and not drowning.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our veggie dish for the night. Pacific clams with broccoli and mushrooms. Thick sauce that matched well with what would have been several bland ingredients.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_dCicqGwv7ebXGs12jgJC-Xy2dcQ_-gdl_AhY04-YYBqn0IyMa9EhceDorkd34rpRLsOYAYAA7SNqjIUmpDq6gGPbBSDJKyoS_PETcU038e_sV0CUJxxImnzJI-Tqd4fjuYca2043GCg/s1600/DSC03673.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_dCicqGwv7ebXGs12jgJC-Xy2dcQ_-gdl_AhY04-YYBqn0IyMa9EhceDorkd34rpRLsOYAYAA7SNqjIUmpDq6gGPbBSDJKyoS_PETcU038e_sV0CUJxxImnzJI-Tqd4fjuYca2043GCg/s320/DSC03673.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Complimentary dessert which I <i>think</i> was tiramisu. I enjoyed the chocolate garnish but the cake didn't tickle my fancy at all. We had this version of the dessert during breakfast and the various buffet dinners and I had never liked them. I would give this a pass.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Overall, the Chinese restaurant serves good food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for all who would like a good Chinese meal, especially those that would require a Halal meal.</div>eatbitemunchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02991494046053984645noreply@blogger.com0
