New Menu in the House - Heaven Gate Penang

Has been a year since my last visit to Heaven Gate Penang, is my pleasure to sample a few dishes from the new menu. Heaven Gate offering semi dining environment with fine dining food experience. The classy and relaxing ambience and environment comes with signature food served deliver you a wonderful dining experience.

Once again, Heaven Gate signature menu never failed us. For those who has always wanted to celebrate your anniversary or birthday dinner, this would be the perfect place for you to indulge in a good food together.

Classic Onion Clear Soup RM8.90

The soup has a delicious flavour of caramelized onions and a hint of thyme. 

Cream of Pumpkin Soup RM10.90

Creamy and rich-tasting of pumpkin soup. It doesn't goes too sweet beyond my liking. It has remarkably strong and pure pumpkin flavour with cream. I would certainly recommend this if you don't wish to go for the ordinary mushroom soup.
*love the beautiful flower presentation of the dish*

Plate Principal
Laksa Pesto RM24

This main course pull over the combination of laksa flavour and traditional Italian pesto. Never worry that the laksa flavour would be over powering in fact it enhances the classic taste of pesto.

 This main course is kind of similar like the crossover between local and the western delights. Certainly a highlight in the new menu.

King Prawn Grilled Chicken RM38

The grilled chicken has a crispy skin and the pairing with king prawn complemented well. The meat was grilled tender, exhibiting a slightly smoky aroma with the freshness of king prawn. The gravy was very tasty and goes well with the meat.

The essence of this dish is the flavour of prawn embedded in the chicken. They did a great work bringing out the nature favour of the ingredients.

Lamb Shank RM68

The lamb shank was scrumptious, smooth and melted in my mouth. The orange zest added texture and flavour to the dish. Lamb shank should be braised slowly until the meat was falling-off-the-bone tender and this is definitely one.

The meat was fall apart tender, rich in flavour and literally melts in your mouth! It served with a side of creamy mashed potato.

Crispy Baked Sea Bass served with Cream of Almond Sauce RM38

 This sea bass is a bomb! It is freshly prepared yet you can still taste freshness of the fish. Crispy skin is definitely a plus point for this dish when you have it together in a mouthful of fish. Love the Chef played with interesting colours in presentation and delighted the customers once it has been served!

The accompanied almond dressing with bites of cheery tomatoes make a lovely combined experience. This dish is definitely worth of price with large serving. 

Roast Duck Breast RM58

This is my favourite among all. Is my first time trying duck breast but this have makes me believed that why people said duck breast tastes so heavenly good.

The duck meat have a hint of pinkness with plenty of moisture still in the meat.

When you take a bite of the duck breast, you can equally taste the juicy of the duck skin and tenderness of the meat and it melts in your mouth with every bite of it. Although this is my first time trying duck breast but I bet there will be more to come. It ignites my love towards this dishes. Thumbs up.

You can either dip with brown sauce or take it plainly.

Cream Brulee RM10.90

The desserts are worth saving room for. 

The caramelized sugar top is thin, sweet and ready for cracking.

See how thin is the sugar top? The vanilla custard base is very smooth and creamy as well.

Orange Crepe served with Vanilla Ice Cream RM16.90

Marble Cheese Cake RM12.90

I have confessed my love towards this marble cheese cake in the earlier post. You can view it from here just in case you never read my previous post yet. :-)

With the chef Kacey. Thanks and love all the food served!

Before I ended this post, they will have live band performance such as saxophone, keyboard and so on in the lounge area from 7.30pm to 10.30pm in every Saturday. Thinking where to spend your weekend with your loved one, this is the right place!

Last but not least, thanks for having us here. The food tasting is marvellous. I'm giving my honest opinion with my peers review as well. Anyway, it may be vary for others.

50% Rebate Campaign from 23rd to 25th July in Gurney Paragon

Hey guys, I'm back to tell you about the latest promotion by Italiannies! 

They are one of my favourite Italian restaurant in the island, good news is currently they are running a three-day long 50% rebate campaign in Gurney Paragon from 23rd to 25th July! Be quick, mark your calender and make reservation! My previous post about Italiannies is here, I love it especially their seafood risotto! Details is in the post, feel free to click in. :-)

The three-day long "50% rebate campaign" is being run by Italiannies in celebration of Gurney Paragon's soft launch.

Throughout the campaign period, guests will receive 50% rebate of their total bill when they dine in Italiannies. The 50% rebate can be used to offset their bill using their next visit to Chaswood's many restaurants namely, Italiannies, T.G.I.Friday's, The Apartment, Watami, Bulgogi Brothers, Laundry, Baci, Bedroom and Malones Irish Restaurant & Bar.

Bulgogi Brothers which is under Chaswood are famous for their heart shape bulgogi but sadly it is available only in KL. Hopefully they will launch in Penang soon but I guess the opening of Italiannies would be a great start to "test the water" in Penang. Lol..

Chicken Milanese

Classic Carbonara

To eligible for the promotion, members of the public just need to sign up for Chaswood Resources' loyalty card program - Pinch of Salt card, which is available for free.

I have applied myself the Pinch of Salt card during my last visit dining in Italiannies. As it is free, so I see no harm to apply it as the member. :-)

Other than the 50% rebate campaign running during Gurney Paragon's soft launch, cardmembers will also be able to enjoy a series of exclusive dining privileges at Chaswood's restaurant such as a 10% rebate from subtotal bill, birthday voucher worth RM30, monthly special offers and more.

In addition, from 26th July till 30th September 2013, Italiannies will be having special offers for Pinch of Salt members in Penang, which include complimentary dessert, 20% rebate and more.

If you never try Italiannies and one of your concern is financial constraints then I think this is the right time to grab this 50% rebate opportunity to dine in there. I will recommend you the seafood risotto besides the ordinary pasta and pizza. Risotto is a traditional italian food, the details about it can view from my previous post then..:-)

Pizza Enorme

Stuffed Mushroom

Swah Birthday Lunch at Lunarich Pizza One Pricinct

A short catch up with the girls for Sin Wah's birthday! Love it! Some of them couldn't make it cz we have it during normal working days..:-( Majority of them are in Bayan Baru area so we decided to go there for her birthday lunch! 

Anyway, major love for our lunch in Lunarich One Pricinct. The restaurant has a delightful ambience, service is attentive and courteous, the food is pleasing, thus overall is satisfactory.

By the way, they serve Set Lunch from 11.30pm to 2.45pm during weekdays whereas ala carte menu will be serve on the weekend. 

If you are concern with the price of the ala carte menu, here you go. Anyway they have vast selection for pizza and pasta.

May try out their risotto some day then compare it with Itallianies. Lol..

Set lunch comes with a drink, salad and soup of the day.

Tomato soup for soup of the day. The tomato soup is really rich.

We must dip the garlic bread with the tomato soup so that it won't be overly sour. The garlic bread  accommodate nicely with the soup as it is not too hard yet crispy. 

Main course of the day

Garlic Chicken Diavola RM36
Cream sauce based with mozzarella cheese, chicken breast, garlic and chili-flake.

Funghi RM33

Cream sauce based with mozzarella cheese, wild mushroom and grana padano.

We ordered pizza cz we think it is more worth compared to the tiny portion of pasta. Lol..and we share among five girls. 3 slices for each person so is more than enough to us! 

All of us prefer this than the Garlic Chicken Diavola and for those mushroom lover this would certainly be your choice! The wild mushroom is aromatic and cooks perfectly. On the other hand, the crust is light and crunchy. If you don't mind certain part of it is slightly burned but this would just be the minor flaw. Cheese is a plus point for Lunarich pizza.  

Another good news to share is that they offer this Set Lunch menu as well in Lunarich Gurney Paragon during weekdays. *clap clap*

Haha..all of us still 22 except dear. Finally understood why people always wish to be forever 21. :-(
But slowly would be our turn to be 23..T.T I don't want...

Happy Birthday dear! 

Hope you have a blast birthday with blessing from friends and family! Hehe..Love you always! 

My second soul mate besides Mr. Yeap..haha..

Picha picha..I miss all the girls! 

Must have a gathering real soon and take tons of picture with everyone in it! Lol..

Pretty dear with her mint jumpsuit! A hit colour this year! 

Collaged all the pictures abuthen pictures will be overload! Haha..heart you girls! 

And Lunarich is so amazing! They even request us to wait for extra 10 minutes before we leave to make this cup of cappucino for the birthday girl! So good la them...

They said usually they present the birthday girl or boy with mug but they have run out of stock so a cup of cappucino as substitution. 

So so sweet..with the pretty "coffee art" written SW Happy Birthday! Hehe..

Lovely! Happy birthday once again! Love you as always..hehe..

Lunarich Pizza & Pasta is located opposite the Bayan Baru market.

Somewhere near to Suntech. If you unsure about the location, then click here for Google Map! Hehe..

Papa's Day Celebration at Morganfield's Gurney Paragon

Yesterday is papa's big day aka Father's Day! Haha..to all the greatest dad in the world, 

Happy belated Father's Day! 

You guys are every daughter's hero! Hehe..

Same goes to my family! Celebrated papa's day..haha! 

Knew my dad love ribs so was asking him to try out ribs in the Morganfield's Paragon. But he said he prefer the one in Chicago Rib's..lol..

I don't really fancy TGI, Morganfield, Euro Deli's food..perhaps American style of food like burger, sandwiches is never comes to my liking. I would prefer pasta than burgers. :-( 

Kinda phobia with the big serving of meat! o.O

Happy Papa's Day

Food food here you come! 

Soft Drink Bottomless RM8.90

Left: Clearly Citrus Right: Groovy Grape

I love the Grape's one..

The Smokin' Duck RM29.90

Delicious smoked duck slices, bacon and cheddar cheese in between crispy grilled Panini bread.

Siblings said the duck tasted like it has wasabi..I don't know why..haha..

Full Slab Garlicky BBQ Spare Ribs RM69.90

Tangy, sweet, spicy & loaded with garlicky goodness, the succulent concoction will surely blow your mind & the vampires away! Served with crispy French fries & coleslaw. 

Dad preferred the one in Chicago Rib's. What say you? 

Seafood Gumbo RM35.90

Thick and savory seafood stew served with toasted baguette. 

I knew stew is soup typed but never expected it to be served this way. o.O It doesn't looks like main course anyway and is too expensive with only a few squids, a few slices of fish, two prawns with RM30 above! Luckily this is the free meal for Father's Day if not customers gonna complain this gao gao! And we all think it tasted like having hokkien mee soup. Lol..not worth at all la! 

Tequilla Spiked Chicken RM30.90

Halved chicken marinated with spicy tequila, lime paprika & char-grilled. Served with crispy French fries & coleslaw.

Just a normal grilled chicken I would say, nothing special..

Smokehouse Bacon Cheeseburger RM24.90

Grilled and glazed with Hickory BBQ sauce, topped with Cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and crispy pork bacon.

Normal though. 

All the food taken yesterday isn't that important! What matters is the quality time spent with family during the dinner! I love them so much..♥

With the beloved dad, although I knew he don't really like the food but he is happy throughout the dinner! ♥

Sistery love! ♥

Siblings! 

 

Mummy, mei mei, bro and Jesline. 

Bro and sisterhood selca time! *wink*

The smile until very "yam" bro..ishh..

Bloated face! 

Erm..overall the food isn't up to our expectations. So sorry to say that no second visit again.  

Food is way too normal and nothing much to highlight about. 

Anyway we enjoy our Father's Day dinner spending quality time together..purposely blog about it to commemorate this day! Never wanted to forget something that is so meaningful to us. 

We love you papa! Next year either you visit us in KL or we come back to celebrate your birthday and Father's Day with you ok? Hehe..

p.s my car tow to the service centre today so I'm quite tiring. You may see I am rushing through this post but even I am tired I still want to mark down this date. :-)

Night.
