time flies...and some rocking news...

Time really flies especially during holidays...yup the mid-term break is over and it's back to work starting tomorrow. But then the Hari Raya break is also not too far away from the corner so am looking forward to that too...hehe:) Well as the title of this post suggests...would like to share some rocking news with you guys...firstly Winter Warmers is now open at Juru Auto City...have tried the Deep Fried Garlic Chicken and the Teriyaki Chicken Rice...and both tasted good to me...and I'm sure you know about its very English ambience...

Then of course if you are a regular visitor to Auto City you would have noticed the orange building that's coming up in front of Maybank Auto World...that's SS which will be opening VERY soon...guess weekend nights won't be the same again in Seberang Perai...
Winter Warmers at Auto City...next to another favourite joint of mine...Subway...

that's SS...which should be opening at any time now...
And then the mother of all rocking news...Hard Rock Hotel Penang with its Hard Rock Cafe will be opening on 19 Sept 09 at Batu Ferringhi...so all you Hard Rock Cafe fans...make sure you make a trip to Batu Ferringhi and check it out...

And before I end this post...couldn't resist sharing the two pics below with you guys...


The delicious baked crabs which we had at Sa Liap Ka...a restaurant in Sungai Bakap...the food there is nice and the price is reasonable...another dish I would like to recommend is the Bamboo Prawns which is now served in a metal trough...I guess bamboo is quite hard to come by nowadays...eat the prawn curry sauce with deep-fried 'mantou'...



And of course the delicious, tasty crispy curry puffs which we bought from a bakery shop at Lagenda Heights in Sungai Petani...the pastry is very puffy and the filling of slightly spicy potato is just nice...
Till the next post...may I wish you well, take care and have fun as always!

'live' from lagenda heights...sungai petani

Yup...the August mid-term school holiday has begun...and that means you can forget about deadlines and get to do all the things that you enjoy doing. And that's exactly what I'm doing right now...blogging 'live' from Lagenda Heights in Sungai Petani...hehe. Actually came to SP with family to visit a good friend staying in Bandar Puteri Jaya. Sungai Petani does bring back a lot of memories 'cos my wife and I stayed here for a few months in the mid-80's. Back then it was quite a sleepy hollow but today the town has really grown. And right now I am in Lagenda Heights which is just outside SP town. The place is really cool...neat and tidy with residential houses, a shopping mall, shophouses and lots of F n B outlets...something like Auto City in Juru. Had dinner at Cennai Curry House which serves delicious Indian cuisine and our favourite dish there is the Briyani Chicken set. It's our second visit to the restaurant. You should also check out the Hariyali Begum Mint drink which has a nice n strong minty taste. And of course I am blogging at where else but OldTown Kopitiam which is sprouting like mushroom everywhere. Have posted some pics below to do the rest of the talking...please excuse the pic quality which is not so good as they were taken with my handphone.



OldTown Kopitiam...Lagenda Heights...which provided the free wifi...it's Monday night but the place is bustling with people...mmm...enjoy life la...




the Village Mall...

Chennai Curry House...where we had our dinner...check it out if you do come to SP



ah...the yummy delicious chicken briyani set...




Red Island Cafe...related to the one in Penang...I guess...there's one just opposite One-Stop Midlands Park in Pulau Tikus





Love n Freedom Restaurant Leisure Bistro...whataname...if you are curious as to what they serve...check it out the next time you are in SP.
Guess what...Winter Warmer's will be opening an outlet in Auto City soon. Read about it in my next post. Till then...enjoy your holiday...and more importantly enjoy your life. Take care:)
