Cariso Delicacies Corner

It was eve of Merdeka Day. With advanced booking also we need to queue up in order to get into the restaurant at 1pm sharp!  Just imagine how popular this restaurant is among the Penangites now!

We consisted of ~16pax were there for a short gathering.  Mind you, due to the mess in handling the kids and also busy on catching up with each other, I only managed to snap some of the dishes ordered.

Pan Seared Cod Fish  RM48.90++

Their pan seared cod fish tasted good with the accompanied sweet and sourish sauce, not too overwhelming.  The texture of the cod fish was cooked till just nice, not too dry and thus maintaining its firmness. I would consider this dish as a worthy meal with big serving portion. As you can see here, a lot of  fried potato cubes were there too.

English Fish N Chip (RM29.90++)

I was also satisfied with their Fish n Chip. Hidden inside the thin crispy layer was white juicy fish fillet.  The most important thing is that I didn’t feel oily at all. It appears to be so healthy, if minus out the fries and mayonnaise!  :)

Mushroom Soup (RM13.90++)

Blended mushrooms were tasted in every scoop.

The rest of the dishes did not receive any complaints too! Therefore I would assume that we have chosen a restaurant that served all good and right if forget about the price! Ha! :p [...]

*Follow up post at Delicious of Straits Quay Maintaining Its Standard. *

“Oh…..No wonder lah!” This is the expression when I finally saw this line “A subsidiary of Eastern & Oriental Berhad” when browsing the menu.

Why why why?

When I was at a food review session the other day, this “Delicious” term caught my attentio, not only because it was mentioned repetitiously but also because of this  keng one,” Aiyoh, if you think of eating the desserts at C* Brown, you might as well going to Delicious loh, same amount of spending, lagi TATT!” .

This amount of people during a WORKING monday at ~2pm should be considered “good business” already kua! This is neither FIZ nor town area oh.

but then when I looked around, I saw mostly are foreigners (guess ’second-home’?!) and very elegantly dressed locals.

“Ei, do you think that we are the only table speaking Hokkien ah?” :p

“May be loh!” *followed by LOL*

Lemonade from the Front Lawn RM9.90++ — Wowo! Super sour!

Hot Honey Lemon RM5.90++ — See? Got biscotti somemore!

Mascarpone Pesto Chicken served with Fried Potatoes and Asparagus RM39.90++

Big serving indeed! Half the chicken is in this plate already. Add on the potatoes somemore! Not full yet?  You must be kidding! [...]

The BBQ Corner – Raw ingredients

Charcoal BBQ grill in action

CHARCOAL BBQ

Seriously I found that this charcoal BBQ section did not impress me that much if compared to the Portuguese Grill(!!) at the later part.

[...]

This is just a few units away from the fish shop (corner unit). You may not notice it since it is blocked by the trees alongside the pavement on the Jln Sg Dua, which is opposite the Tesco Extra.

The wall is full of tong shui menu.  眼花缭乱！

If you are persistent, you may try it out one by one everyday, ha! Luckily I have the privilege to share with others during this one-time-sapu-all session. [...]

How does it taste like huh? 星级靓妈产后修身秘方 (炒米茶)?

I read the article from from Guangming, titled “星级靓妈产后修身秘方” ! This is the recipe so-called used by Kelly Chan. It is believed that this drink promotes metabolism, helps in digestive system and  releases water retention (due to red rice is high-fibre, it helps in bowel movement). Dried tangerine peel  (chan pei) improves stomach health and diuresis. Red dates is good for blood enrichment whereas longan helps moisturizing eyes.

This is also being regarded as 去水健体神茶 ! 炒米茶! 产后代茶！

I tried it out just for the sake of testing the recipe, to see how it tastes like, how easy/difficult it is to prepare and whether it works for me.

Firstly, I need to wash the white rice and red rice then air-dry them.

Then stir fry them, dry in wok,  for about 5 minutes respectively. I am lazy, thus I prepare much more so that I can save them up for subsequent usages.

That’s how they look like.
