Jurin Japanese restaurant at Krystal Place in Bayan Baru
As always, you can find good service at Japanese restaurants in Penang. No so, if you are going to one of them during Valentine’s Day.
Yesterday, we decided to dine at Jurin Japanese restaurant at Krystal Place in Bayan Baru. When I inquired if certain seafood is fresh for the day, guess what she said?!
“All are frozen seafood except sashimi is fresh!” I was like “Huh?!”.
Then our order took them almost an hour to bring our first dish and that the restaurant was only half full at that time. Waiters were busy serving tables which they forgot to serve us green tea and not to mention there aren’t any soy sauce and sauce plates on our table for dipping sushi. Yes, none on the table which we had to wave at waiter for that. Hello, where are we dining at again?!
Wow, what an unforgettable dining experience for this year’s Valentine’s Day!

Steamed egg with milk recipe (Tested with picture)
This recipe is very easy to make and nutritious. It is a popular dessert in Hong Kong namely 鮮奶燉蛋, 冰糖炖蛋, 薑汁撞奶.. Restaurants there charge as much as rm12 just for a small bowl and cost much more if you opt for some fancy ingredients. Here you can simple make it at home and have it as often as you like without costing much. It is supposedly good for the skin if consumed regularly.
First, boil water in steamer.
Scramble an egg in a bowl, add little rock sugar and then add in fresh milk. Stir well.
After water boiled, turn to lowest heat and put the bowl in steamer to cook for 15 minutes.
Enjoy your delicious healthy dessert!

The Manhattan Fish Market at Queensbay Mall Penang
I was curious of seeing people lining up outside The Manhattan Fish Market restaurant and thought the food must be really good. It didn’t take us that long for waiter to find us a table. Just that I felt really cramp sitting with tables very close to each other and be able to hear others conversation clearly. They serve mainly fast food style fried seafood like pricey fish and chips, fried oysters, seafood platters.. typical American food, oily..
Seafood is fresh and cooked right out of the kitchen, which is probably why we waited for quite a while. Service is okay.

Taste is different in the other side of the world
As you all know mangosteen or manggis in Malay are commonly available in market for rm3-5 per kg. In this side of the world, we only eat the white flesh and throw the rest away. However in U.S., mangosteen isn’t available in supermarket and most people have never seen the fruit before. They only know of mangosteen juice which is high in antioxidant and is commonly sold to patients who need to boost their immune system. Each 25oz bottle of juice is selling for as high as US$35. The juice contains extract from red purplish rind which we normally throw away after eating the white flesh.
Well, enjoy your fresh picked mangosteen without paying a fortune.
