Alor Setar - Lee & Lee Noodle Delight Restaurant

Since the first time my parents-in-law mentioned about this place, we had been longing to go and try the noodles. Since it is a 3 days weekend and my in-laws had retire, we got more times to visit here and there in Alor Setar.

Well, the restaurant is located off Jalan Putra (the famous road in Alor Setar. :P), just opposite the Star City Hotel.


The outlook of the restaurant.


The good things about this restaurant is that they have a really nice and clear menu on the wall. It is not too many dishes offered until your eyes go blind and take half an hour just to finish the menu and decide what to eat (like the Kim Gary menu. :P).

As for the price, it is a bit steep compare with other stalls/restaurant in Alor Setar, but you'll know why later.

The types of noodles offered is quite a lot. Since it was the first time I visit this place, it is a bit hard to decide what to eat. So, after get some suggestion from the in-laws, we all choose our own noodle's type.


I chose the "dried curry noodle", it comes with some vege, char siew and half prawns (it looks like 1 whole prawn, but it is actually slice into half)


Close up on the curry noodles.


The wantan comes with the noodles, it is a small bowl with 2 wantans inside.


My mom-in-laws chose the "chicken noodle with mushroom", it was mistaken as my wife's choice and she actually ate a few mouthful before realized it. Then, only pass it back to my mom-in-laws. :P


The wantan comes with the noodle.


My wife's choice..."B.B.Q. noodle with mushroom", it is actually B.B.Q pork (叉烧) with some mushroom and the half prawns noodle. The price is higher but the portion is bigger as well. It taste good, try it out if you visit this place.


My father-in-law chose "chicken leg noodle with mushroom". The ingredients and the taste is almost the same as the one my wife's ordered, except that the char siew and prawns become chicken leg. Judge by the portion of the chicken leg, it is pretty worth to order this.


The extra order, wantan soup. There are quite a lots of wantan in it...


Talk about the choice of drinks, it is not a lot. So, end up I ordered hot Milo...

Well, below is the link to the location of the restaurant in wikimapia (if you plan to give it a try. :P)

Lastly, the noodle is quite nice, worth a try. :)

Queensbay Mall - Wong Kok Restaurant

It has been sometime since we visit Wong Kok Restaurant. Since we were in QBM and don't really know what to eat for lunch, we decided to go for this Hong Kong style restaurant again.

Well, it is not as good as Boston or Kim Gary, but it has its own good stuff to eat. I'm eager to try their other stuff (since I always ordered the roasted duck noodle only). This time we ordered:
1. Fried Chicken Toast (香炸澳门鸡多士) - RM6.00
2. Butter Bun (旺角菠萝油) - RM 1.50x2
3. Dumpling Noodle (凤城水饺面) - RM8.30
4. Roasted Duck Noodle (明炉烧鸭面) - RM7.60
5. Fresh Soya Milk (清凉豆浆水) - RM3.00
6. Ice Water (冰水) - RM0.60


Utensils for the meal...


Soya bean milk, nothing to shout about, just normal, cold soya bean milk. For the size, I'll say that it is a bit over price for RM3.00.


Dumpling noodles close up view.


Dumpling noodle's full view. The noodle is quite a lot and feel full after finish it up. The dumpling is just so so and not so great. It has a special taste and it will be either you will love it or hate it.
I don't really like the taste. :P


Roasted duck noodle, my all times favourite...


Close up on the roasted duck...


Fried chicken toast. There is no fried chicken. It is actually a fried toast with chicken filled inside. There is also cheese filled inside the toast pocket.


Close up on the chicken...

Well, there is no photo of the butter bun since we ask for take away from the start and finish it up in the car (forgot to take photo, too happy to eat it). The butter bun is something you should not miss if you really like buttery food. The bun is actually filled with butter with one coat of sugar and butter on top and baked to a nice golden yellowish color. This will be my all times favourite to eat from Wong Kon Restaurant. :P

Penang Burma Road - Little Cottage Cafe

I heard about this restaurant for quite sometime already, but so far still no time and chances to give it a visits. Yesterday after went to the Penang Property Fair, we have no idea on what to eat for dinner, so we decide to go to this nice restaurant at Burma Road.

From Little Cottage (28-03-2009)

Well, it is a restaurant located on the right side of Burma Road old shop houses, you'll need to pay extra attention to locate it (especially during night time). The restaurant itself doesn't have any parking lot for its customer, you'll have to find parking around the area. There is one tiny lane just after the restaurant on the right side where you can park your car. The photo above show the front door of the restaurant. It has a nice decoration and environment.

From Little Cottage (28-03-2009)

There are only limited seating at the ground floor, which give us a false impression that there are not enough seat anymore for us. :P Since we wondering around at the front door for a while, the waiter is so kind to actually walk out and offer us seating at the upper floor. The upper floor is quite spacious, which is actually the space of 3 old shop houses! It has the traditional wooden flooring, nice...
Besides that, they have this nice wall decoration on the upper floor as well...

The restaurant have a 5 course dinner sets with several main course choices. The set include buns, soup, main course, pudding dessert and drinks. I ordered set with New England battered fish with chips (main course), with ice lemon tea (drinks), soup of the day (mushroom soup), pudding dessert and buns. My wife ordered smoked salmon pasta, scotch butter cake (dessert) and Little Cottage mocktail. We order extra garlic bread to try it out. :P

Chasu chicken ramen...
The ramen serving is quite big, and it is not pre-cooked. So, the noodle is just nice to eat.
The soup is bit too salty to my taste. Well, overall, the ramen is nice to eat and the price is ok, not too expensive.

Padang Lalang - Pak Hainan Restaurant

We have been passing this restaurant for quite a few times, each time also wondering what food will be nice in this type of shop. From the outlook, it looks something like "Old Town", so we had no interest to walk into the shop and have a try.

Well, since we had out of idea on where to have dinner, we decided to give it a try, especially after the big newspaper ad shown in "Sin Chew Daily". :P

From Pak Hainan (02-11-2008)

There is even a story of the "Pak Hainan" written on the first page of the menu.

Malt + coffee Ice...Nice! I love it! The taste is like Horlicks + coffee, the sweetness is just suite my taste.

From Pak Hainan (02-11-2008)

Toast bread, the bread is a bit different as it is brown color. This is something that you must order if you are there.

The things that you cannot miss everytime you go to some coffeshop. :P

From Pak Hainan (02-11-2008)

Chicken rice ball, the rice a bit too hard, the aroma is too faint for my taste.

From Pak Hainan (02-11-2008)

The Hainan style chicken, just taste normal.

From Pak Hainan (02-11-2008)

The nasi lemak, taste quite ok, the the chili is not hot enough.

Overall, the price is ok, not too expensive and the taste is normal, nothing that is spectacular.

Environment is good for gathering and family.
