Food Review: YEA Japanese Barbeque & Shabu Shabu@Penang Times Square

It was one fine afternoon when the boyfie and I were heading to Penang Times Square to have our brunch at Full House. After we alighted the car, I saw this interesting restaurant, YEA Japanese Barbeque & Shabu Shabu.

We were curious but thought the place was closed as the door was closed tight until someone walked out of the restaurant. This place was opened not up to one week. We decided to try this place instead.

It is an interesting set-up with marble stone for barbeque. They said it is more hygienic and easy to clean. There will be someone to help and serve you at the very beginning. Later, you will have to do it on your own.

Since it is a buffet, it is an all-you-can-eat with the price of RM48++ per person. With wide range of food to choose from, we enjoyed the meal a lot. They have desserts’ booth too! I still remember how full we were and we did not even go for dinner after. This is a great place if you want to enjoy food and have fun with your friends.

Christmas Celebration@Straits Quay

Chinese New Year is almost over and I am still posting on Christmas Celebration. I know, I have been procrastinating and this is really bad. My blog is really behind the real time, omg!

So, during our Christmas last year, we went to Straits Quay. We were stuck in the jam for more than an hour and we were starving inside the car. We could have thought to bring some snacks with us earlier. After we were freed from the jam, parking hunt next!

When we finally got a parking space, we decided to hunt for food before checking out the wharf. We went to Oh Sushi Japanese Restaurant and they have this all-you-can-eat Sukiyaki. Lovin’ the words ‘all you can eat.’ They remind me of Shanghai’s Teppanyaki.

We ordered a few side dishes as well though its soft shell crab rolls were bad. I really want Zanmai!

That was the Sukiyaki. Huge pot, wasn’t it? We could order its dishes unlimitedly. Awesome, right?

And guess what? We had seven plates of these. We had to have the right quantity for the price we paid.

After we fed our stomach, only we went to enjoy what’s going on around this big Christmas Tree. Straits Quay had the biggest Christmas Tree in Penang. What’s funny was when the clock struck twelve, no fireworks were put off but most of the lights went off and there, that was the Christmas celebration. Oh, I did not hear any shout out “Merry Christmas” as well. I probably should change to another venue for this year’s Christmas.

Food Review: Cheers Restaurant & Bierhaus

It was one of those days when we wanted to try out new food in a new restaurant in town. We knew Cheers from JackCow and it is located quite close to Gurney Plaza. Cheers is a nice place to have booze and snacks while hanging out with friends.

That night, I was not into alcohol and so, I ordered a hot chocolate. Nothing special about it. Mehhh..

I ordered handmade meatballs as our appetizer and guess what? I so regretted about it. Not because it sucks but there ain’t anything special about it either.

One of our main courses is King Ribs. It was juicy and just nice. However, it had a weird thing beneath it. Not really sure what it was but it was not that bad.

Our other main course was Braised Pork Belly. It was not that great but at least we tried out something different. 

Overall, the meal was okay but, we are coming back soon to redeem our deal with Cheers so, stay tuned!
