Garden @ Jelutong, Penang

There's a newly opened restaurant along Jelutong.


I trumbled across this new place a few days back. Judging from their decor, I just was curious enough to try it out. The decor really reminded me of 'The Garden' restaurant in KL.

They offer a variety of choices, similar to restaurants like Kim Gary and Kopitan. But on top of everything else, they offer steam boat as well!! So without hesitation, I ordered it (since the rest could be found else where)

Their steam boat menu came with 4 choices of soup. Each time, you can have a choice of 2 different soups to cook your food in.

They also give you a choice of ala cart or set. Their set came with a big bowl of processed seafood and vegetables. (Although the full list of what's in the set bowl of processed food was not listed.. and er, the waiters couldn't tell me the full list either) Nevertheless, I took a leap of faith and was willing to be surprised at whatever came in that bowl.... heheh

To my surprise, it was a HUGE bowl! Certainly more than for the 1-3 pax!! Haha... so worth it!! and only for RM23 something for the set 1 (1-3pax)... so worth it :) The set came with the huge bowl as i mentioned and with chicken slices.

And the waitress who recommended Thai Suki soup was spot-on! The soup was really good.



I wanted to try other ala cart stuff on the menu, so I ordered noodles, abalone slices and meat balls.




 
After that lovely steamboat experience, I was looking for some dessert, and wanted to eat ice-cream. Their menu also has many yummy desserts, but I was quite ful and only wanted one scoop of ice-cream.
 
However, they didn't have single scoop ice-cream on the menu, so the boss gave us free one scoop of ice-cream on da house! Wah.. such a generous boss!! Totally un-expected! :)
 
So all in all a very good experience at Garden, Jelutong.

New Year Steam Boat @ Shaboo World, 1st Avenue.

What a great way to start the new year by having Steam Boat!

Yesterday, 1.1.2012, we had dinner at the newly opened Shaboo World @ 1st Avenue.

They are currently having a promotion. RM1 for selected food items.

They also offer 2 different soups - Chicken stock or Tom Yam... and guess what, the soup is free flow... only RM1.90 per person...

All dishes are individually priced. So you can pick the ones you really want to eat, unlike other restaurants where they have set meals.




And this restaurant uses Electrolux hot plates... see insert
Not bad, eh? I kinda have this respect for Electrolux branded items... :)





The owner was really friendly (no surprise here, as this was the opening day of the restaurant), keen to know the feedback from his customers...

He was a pleasant guy :)

And to  my surprise, the meal only came to RM25.80! cheap lor... I suppose it was because of the RM1 deal :) But when we went, a few items that we wanted were all sold out... :(

So hurry before the promo runs out. Deals are from 1.1.2012 - 15.1.2012
