This year our eldest son, MY managed to come back from Australia to join us for the family New Year Reunion dinner. We had our dinner at two places - Zhong Hwa Restaurant in Cititel Penang on the eve and another one at Tai Thong Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur on the first day. Both were set course dinner.

We went down to K.L. to visit my mum, brother and sister. My youngest son, MZ with his uncle (kau fu) during the dinner at Tai Thong Restaurant SS2.

It was a nice gathering for everyone and it was an awesome dinner for the CNY.

Seen the movie Shanghai Noon, then how about having lunch at Shanghai 10.... which is Shanghai Tien in mandarin. This outlet located on the cinema floor of Queensbay Mall, Penang serves delicious dim sum and noodles.

We went for the noodles. The noodles is like the wan ton mee type although its name as la-mien. The clear soup is tasty yet not oily. The dumplings (sui kow) are quite big in size.

Then came the dim sum. The fried carrot cake was surprisingly not oily and yet very tasty.

This is the siew loong pau and the char siew pau.

Our favourite lor mai kei.

Desserts that we had were the black sesame gultinuous rice ball (a must try). We also had the yee mai fu chok and the black sesame tong sui but won't recommend as we found them to be very diluted.

Food items served here is quite similar to those that we had in Dragon i - Queensbay Mall Penang but both outlet has its own individual taste. Decorations here are quite simple and not as posh as Dragon-i. Jusco card members can enjoy 20% discount of the whole bill until the end of February.....so remember to flash your J-Card!!! Bon-appetite!

Fancy paying your own dinner and still have to cook yourself? That is what you have to do while having a barbeque steamboat buffet in Seoul Garden. This was our third visit to this outlet at Gurney Plaza.

There are a few choices of soup for the mini steamboat and a wide selection of meat, seafood and vegetables to choose from.

This is our first round of mini steamboat and hot plate. This outlet uses cooking oil for the grilling/frying unlike others that uses butter. We find this healthier. The good thing is that they allow their customers to change their pan after it get burned.

Not forgetting the sweets corner. Ice-kacang with toppings of red bean, jagung, cendol, peach fruit slices, sea coconut and colourful jellies. There are also choices of ice-cream besides fresh fruits.

Besides the above varities, they also served snack food - pizza, fried chicken wings and satay. The cost of the barbeque varies during weekdays and weekends. Students and UOB credit card holders are also entitle to a discount. Three of us have some good fun cooking and eating. We left happily with a full stomach.
