Happy Family Trip to Penang | 槟城全家乐

7月底全家到槟城吃喝玩乐。

Went for a tea-break before checking into hotel

Checked into g Hotel

由于酒店附近走路5分钟就到著名的小吃夜市Gurney Drive，6点多check in 后一家大小就走去。想不到已经是人山人海了。

 

当晚吃了蚝煎，炒果条，云吞面，鱿鱼Kang Kong,五香灌肠等等。觉得味道一般，只有云吞面的面条带有弹性。

第2天中午到北海的《王清发海鲜》吃Kampong风味菜，炸小鸡，蒸鱼头，炒米粉，油炸豆腐，辣椒大虾等等，都非常美味可口。

饭后到榴莲农场《宝盛园》吃榴莲。虽然已经是榴莲尾了，老板也特别安排了几种不同品种的榴莲让大家品尝，还现场教大家怎么吃，怎么分辨，怎么选榴莲，让大家上了一堂榴莲课。

 

Everyone enjoying the durians, even the kids!

晚上来到海边的《海尾海鲜》（Hai Boey Seafood)，三个孙在海滩玩得不亦乐乎，大人也同时欣赏黄昏景色。当天刚好是澳洲龙虾的促销，于是就点了，还有大肉蟹，深海鱼及其他小吃。一伙儿8大3小又吃又喝，只花了马币700多元。对于来自新加坡的我们，真是既美味又经济。

  

隔天一早，不吃酒店的早餐，跑去吃当地肉骨茶，由于是星期一，很多档没有开，结果吃到的肉骨茶口味一般。倒是后来司机带大家到一家小咖啡店吃炒果条，槟城laksa，那才是真的美味可口。

再次证明要当地人带去当地人爱去的饮食场所，尤其当地小吃场所，才能品尝到正中美味的街边小吃。

Moses Recommendation 美食好介绍 | 灯 AKARI Japanese Dining & Bar

 星期六傍晚到Marina Bay Financial Centre 的日本餐馆Akari Japanese Dining & Bar。发现和前此在周日中午来用餐时不一样。也许是金融商业中心，周末没上班，人潮显然少很多。而到了夜晚，更是人烟稀少。反倒是到海边吹海风的人多了很多。

当晚点了几道日式料理，摆盘富有Zen的风味，材料也非常新鲜。

Went to Akari Japanese Dining & Bar at Marina Bay Financial Centre on Saturday. Perhaps it's located right in the middle of the financial centre, plus its a non-working day, the crowds seems to be must lesser than before, tho there's quite a crowd for the seaview nearby.
We ordered a few dishes, and what was presented to us were plates of Zen-filled delight!

日本餐典型鱼生 ~ 厨师安排了５种鱼片，上桌时以被摆盘吸引，吃起来片片新鲜甜美。

Otsukuru 5 Shu Moriawase - 5 kinds of sashimi platter - お造り　５種盛り合わせ

~ Specially arranged by the chef, attractive presentation and every slice was a taste of freshness!

餐馆的招牌菜炸猪软骨 ~ 第一眼看上去有如炸猪扒。但入口一咬，香酥滑爽的猪软骨富有咬劲，令大家一口接一口。

Soku Tatsuta Age - Deep fried simmered tender pork soft rib-bone - 

ソーキのやわらか煮竜田揚げ

~ A restaurant signature, at first glance, it looked like pork chop. But one bite into it was a satisfying crisp soft rib-bone, it's hard to resist taking a 2nd piece!

厨师特地安排一道烤tuna，上桌时，有人还以为是牛肉，因为tuna四周烤成棕褐色，中间却是粉红色，有如medium raw的牛肉。入口即化，人人赞好。
The Chef specially arranged a dish of grilled tuna. When served, we all mistook it as beef because its grilled all round leaving the middle portion raw, just like that of medium raw beef. Taste was excellent! 
 

真正烤和牛是以切片上桌，厚薄适中。略沾盘边的浓沾料，另有一番口感。
Wagyu Steak with homemade garlic soya sauce - 和牛のステーキ　自家製にんにく醤油で 
~ An authentic plate of wagyu steak with just the right size, together with their homemade garlic sauce makes the perfect combination.

甜品是红豆沙加水果及麻薯丸 ~ 不太甜，以温热 呈现，和一般吃冰甜品有另类舒服的味蕾感觉。
Mochi Zenzai - Sweet red bean soup with rice cake and fruits - 
餅入り　ぜんざい　フルーツを添えて
~ Not too sweet and served warm, quite a change from the usual cold dessert, it actually sits very well in the stomach!

 另一道甜品是冰凉的莴苣面条搭梅柚子汁 ~ 清爽舒畅。
Kuzukiri - Noodle jelly with homemade sourplum and citrus sauce

Moses Recommendation 美食好介绍 | 巴生肉骨茶 Port Klang Bak Kut Teh

 

一向来就觉得马来西亚的肉骨茶比较多姿多彩。因为在一锅中除了有肉骨，三层肉外，还有各种猪的零件（内脏）。另外就是加了中药材，令到汤头有中药的甘香味。

每次到马来西亚各省，都会尽量找机会品尝当地的肉骨茶。而到巴生，更是非尝巴生肉骨茶不可。

此次有机会在我国品尝到巴生口味的肉骨茶，倒是一项惊喜。主要是老板特地安排厨师到巴生取经习艺。难怪口感充满巴生风味。唯一略不同的是中药味没有那么重，而这也更迎合了一些不爱太重中药味的食客。

很多年前也曾经在我国介绍过巴生乾肉骨茶，可惜后来换了业主，连口味也变了。这次又有机会品尝到巴生肉骨茶，可见与巴生肉骨茶有缘。最重要还是 - 好味！好吃! 赞！！ 

I've always been a huge fan of Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia. Simply because in a claypot, there's pork ribs, pork belly and many other spare parts (innards). Together with the chinese herbs makes an extremely tasty dish.

Every trip to Malaysia, I'll always find a chance to try the local Bak Kut Teh. And a trip to Port Klang means I must have their local Bak Kut Teh. 

Its a pleasant surprise to know that the famous Port Klang Bak Kut Teh is available in Singapore. Mainly because the chef had personally went to Port Klang to pick up the skills & acquired the genuine recipe of this specialty. No wonder it tastes almost exactly like those in Port Klang. The only slight difference is that the fragrance of the Chinese Herbs are not as strong as those in Port Klang, which is perfect for those who do not really like the herbal taste. 

Many years ago, I've introduced a certain Port Klang Dry Bak Kut Teh in Singapore, but too bad, with a change in management, it also loses its flavour. Its good to be 'reunited' with this wonderful dish again. Most importantly, this is absolutely GOOD!

Happy Family Trip to Guangzhou, Panyu | 广州.番禺全家乐

At Changi Airport

  2011年12月到广州及番禺一游。

一下飞机，友人先用专车载一家大小到一家小粥面专卖店，一看里面坐满人，就知道一定有水准，加上友人强调是本地人常光顾的全天候粥面店，更是非吃不可。友人推荐姜葱捞面，简单一盘素面，加上一小碗的油拌姜葱丝。把姜葱丝倒进素面一起捞来吃，哇！真是简单又美味。

由于有两位小孙女同行，故选择住在番禺的长隆大酒店。酒店房间的宽大，加上到处以动物为主题的装饰，另外在咖啡座内还可以看到白老虎，最兴奋的莫过于两位小孙女，直吵着父母拍照。

Checking out the White Tigers

 




















由于长隆酒店也拥有自己的动物园，且还可以自行开车进去野生动物园绕，这是在我国不可能有的。驾着车慢慢绕，慢慢看，兴奋的何止小孙女，大人也一样啊！

晚间用了较早的晚餐，就步行到剧场看表演。无论是灯光，音响，节目等，都是国际水准。令人看了叹为观止。

到一家标榜农村菜的餐厅，没有特别装潢，很朴素，但还算干净。主要是来吃出名的烧猪，烧鹅。据说烧猪是用荔枝木烧烤，而且还是现点现烧。果然名不虚传。

烧鹅在我国少有，当晚一只烧鹅分两大盘，不消片刻就“美人照镜”。有趣的一道蛋肴称为“初生蛋 ”。听说是把母鸡第一次生的蛋拿来煎荷包蛋。有趣有趣！

到广州的“宝墨园”一游，到处都有锦鲤，买了几包鱼食料，往池塘里一丢，马上看到成群的锦鲤游过来抢吃。其数目之多，简直看不到池水，不愧是锦鲤池。

 

曾经带美食团在广州品尝"无米粥",这回友人推荐另一口味，“玉米粥”。主要是以玉米为汤头，先烫熟各式海鲜及肉类。最后下百米粥，可想像粥的甜度。

饱食一顿后，还看到超大的金瓜，据餐厅主任介绍，是拿来做“金瓜盆菜”之用。

到举办亚洲运动会的亚运村内用晚餐，此餐厅标榜的是整条鱼的火锅。其鱼之大也只有特别的火锅才能配搭。这也是在我国看不到的。

回新当天早上，特地到广州一间老招牌的粥面店用早餐。其粥品爽滑，油条也相当粗大，大家吃得很过瘾。

今日的广州和番禺，不愧是吃喝玩乐的好去处，尤其是在非夏天的时候。相信很快又要去品尝此次没吃到的美味佳肴。
