Jom perkena mee rebus!

After a long hard day working at the trial plot in MARDI...I'm proudly announce it is now lunch time!

 Today I was given a chance to choose the eating place! Hooray!

I'm thinking to have something light and no-no rice please! I had plenty of them and feels fat enough.

There was a nice place that I haven't yet visit since last time in 2010 with my lab's colleague. 

They said the place was quite famous and it was true indeed because served you with delicious yet a simple meal. 

Welcome to  Mee Rebus Mak Long!

Of course the house specialty was mee rebus. The plain mee rebus cost you for only RM3.50 and the special mee rebus (you can have it with beefs prawns or chickens) for only RM 4.50. Amazingly cheap! It was a simple detection on how to know to food was indeed good when Prof Albert is around. just asked him aout the food and if he answer, "ohh, I think the food is very nice, it wasn't spicy and I like it." This means that the food was great!

Besides mee rebus, you can have chicken rice and it was a nice dish also. Smelled of homemade cooking really rocks your appetite especially when you are really far away form home. 

 So, kawan-kawan, jangan lupa singgah na kalau ke Kepala Batas. Pi pekena mee rebus!

I'm having Mee Rebus Special with Beefs 

Prof Albert is excited - I can it from here!

Tapai Pulut - as appetizer :)

Nurul Ikan Bakar!

It has been my third time eating here as I was away to work up north of the country. I like it so much and this place was highly recommended my me! The restaurant was located in Batu Uban. Driving from Perai across the magnificent Penang bridge will take you about 20 minutes (with normal speed). Take the exit towards Bayan Lepas and take the first exit on your left. Be extra cautions because the exit from the highway towards the restaurant was small and easily to be missed. The exit to this awesome place was a bit narrow and easily you will miss the junction if you are not careful enough.

          What makes this place a pit stop for you while visiting the Penang Island? It is because they serves you with plenty of fresh seafood! Fresh shrimps, squids, sting rays, sea basses and cockles can be found here. These foods can be prepared according to what suites your taste by simply grilled, steamed, stir fried, a sweet sour dish or fry it with hot chilies. Just name it! The price was reasonable enough and affordable.

          It was a really nice place really. Even the  people from the Netherlands and Japan love it. Last time when I was brought here with Mrs Sacha, she mention that the shrimps at the restaurant are bigger, fresh and cheap! Yup, this is because the shrimps that she used to eat back home in the Netherland are imported one. Alhamdulillah, the food are still considered cheap here in our country. Don't forget Prof. Albert and Mrs Tomoko. They too enjoy the food that being served here. I remember Mrs Tomoko said, "Oishii!" while the food. So, when you are in Penang, care to have a bite there and tell me what you think of it! Hoping you will feel the same as I am!

Fresh from the sea.

The menu: Grilled sting ray, fried squid, sweet sour sea bass, mango salad and stir fried vegetables. 

The parties and busy with their cameras.

Second Season

Hello Mr. Snails! We meet again for the second time! It has been a while I did not write a thing or two on this blog. Yup, I have been away to meet Mr. Snails again! I hope this project will turn out well and will benefit the paddy farmers in future. Well, let me keep it to myself first what is it all about. I don’t want to leak in some information or else I’ll be chopped off later on.

New plot for second season of the project.

          Well, besides meeting Prof Albert and Mrs Sacha, I met someone from Japan, Mrs Tomoko who will maybe be working with us in future. Happy! Meeting new people is refreshing indeed. And never forget OHMYENGLISH along the conversation. Lol. I need to sharpen my English after this. Manglish doesn’t help at all!

Mrs Tomoko. I need to have a hat for myself next time.

          After 12 day of hard worked, I am roasted alive by the burning sun. This will take for another 6 months to get to my former fairness. But I’m not so sure if by bleaching at the beauty spa can fasten the recovery. I will keep this in mind. Maybe in future I have to equipped myself with the farmer's hat because I do wear sun blocks but it didn't work. Sunblock, you have let me down!
