Sunshine Bay Seafood Restaurant, Tanjung Bungah

Sunshine Bay has been in business for quite sometime apparently they have shifted from the opposite of the road to now a bigger premise on same row with the Post Office of Tanjung Bungah. In most cases when the business gets bigger the food quality tends to drop but not so so in Sunshine Bay. So check it out if you are looking for seafood at Tanjung Bungah.

We were there in a big group as big as 4 tables and we ordered in an extravagant way until we could hardly finish the good food....

Crabs fried with yellow noodle it is watery but a delicious gravy indeed.

Chicken marinated with Guinness Stout sauce seems the favourite dish. Juicy and awesome.

Fried Tofu with minced meat topping garnished with spring onions.

A clay pot of herbal chicken.

Bitter gourd fried with watery eggs...it's so soothing and nice.

Grouper fish steamed with light soy sauce.

Fresh prawns with light chilli sauce served in bamboo pole.

Sweet potato leaves fried with Belacan & prawns.

The group of cycling buddies having a wonderful meal at Sunshine Bay..

A night of plentiful food for a good occasion and tomorrow was going to be a big day for Go & Well. Let's eat, drink & be merry!!!

Boey Chong Kee 梅忠记 - One Old Eating House in Penang

Another trip back to Penang and this time it was for Cheng Beng and an awesome wedding event. As I was about to take the 2nd Penang Bridge into the island I gave a call to an old buddy, Jeff whether he has time for a dinner. Of course my friend obliged and asked me to go to Boey Chong Kee. I was late I had to parked my car a distance away and took my Jifo for the rescue to Cintra Street.

I nearly missed the first dish ...hehehe Eu Cha Koay fried with a mixed ingredient such as celery, lean meat, liver and prawns. Something interesting for a Tai Chow dish.

Another home cooked dish - leek fried with lean meat, mushroom, tau kwa and bean curd sheet.

 Fried egg that served with lettuce wrap.

Stir fried Kailan with garlic simple yet delicious.

The signature dish tender beef slices fried with spring onions and ginger.

Dinner was over and it was time to poison Jeff. Behind is People's Court the oldest flat in Penang and that's where Boey Chong Kee is located (ground floor of it). Getting to this place is a bit tricky but not with a bicycle.

Restoran Ee Tong 怡東中泰海鮮餐館 Zoo Road, Air Itam Penang

The Ee Tong I know wasn't the same today, the quality of food has dropped and has much to be desired.

We always love this Siamese dish whenever we are here but this time around the soup has lost its oomph .... not as power as before. 

Stuffed tofu was on a average scale maybe on that day I wasn't in the mood for fried stuff like this.

Fried chicken with stuffed salted egg yoke another wrong choice of order hehehe ..... I was actually tuned for something Thai it's just too bad this food adventure didn't turn out good for me maybe the next time.

Fortunately there was this that I like, asparagus fried with belacan & prawns it went well with my plain rice.

The journey

This was my first time being a member of a group of Heng Dai going for the Bride and Ji Mui. And this particular wedding is rather unique we have to cycle round Penang Island before we can be at the door step of the Bride and that was a long & sweaty journey.

Some of the Heng Dai having their breakfast at the lobby of the hotel and this meal was absolutely essential for the ride.

6.50 - At a traffic light beginning of Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway.

7.10 - at the neighbourhood of Queensbay Mall, Bayan Lepas

7.30 - at the tip of the runway of Penang Airport.

Kim Lee Kopitiam for an awesome Koay Teow Th'ng 阿海粿條汤

This is one authentic Koay Teow Th'ng you must try in Penang. It was an early morning I cycled from my mother's apartment at Farlim downtown for a "Syiok Sendiri" ride. A hunt for a breakfast and sightseeing, as I was passing by Lorong Macalister to Transfer Road around 7am I saw this stall selling my favourite rice noodle.

A small bowl of this food for RM3.00 and I like it so much, the soup was so tasty that I leave the place with a dry bowl... I want more!

Koay Teow Th'ng has been my No.1 street food and this one is truly authentic. The koay teow noodle is smooth together with two soft bouncy fishballs, slices of duck and chicken meat, spring onions and tiny lard fries.

Uncle Ah Hai has been doing this for over 60 years a trade he learn when he was 12 years old from his father.  The stall has always been around this vicinity ever since the Japanese Occupation and he is still selling this remarkable KTT at this age. My salute to him!!! & I will be back.

Duck & Chicken for the broth and that explains the super delicious Koay Teow Theng of Uncle Ah Hai.

Revisiting Perez, Hulu Langat and Semenyih Dam

I love going to Hulu Langat for my bicycle ride it is safer if you compare to Genting Sempah .... it's with lesser vehicles and peaceful.

This time I had a chance to try a different folding bicycle it was a Tern Verge X10 belongs to Yong Lim and the bike is light and nippy. 

It has been a long time since I last rode to Semenyih Dam and the first time I did it was in July 15 2012 with my Dahon Speed P8 organised by Sam Cheong. It was an awesome experience coming up to this part of the world. This picture was taken back then.

And this is the situation of the dam due to the severe dry spell encountered lately in Selangor.

These were some of participants who were took part in this maiden ride of mine.

I began to meet new friends in the cycling circle and learning a lot about bicycle from all these sifu, I am still learning....

The route of my maiden ride.

It is a must to reach to this boundary line between Selangor and Negeri Sembilan and it is known as Perez. Riding beyond the border to the town called Titi is even more challenging.I have tried once but came back to this point with a support car. See the story here.

On 8th March 2014 I visited Hulu Langat again and I like it very much despite it was in a dry condition. I wanted to see how severe the reduced water level was at the dam and then we rode to Perez to complete the ultimate point.

Some of the vegetations were burnt making the surrounding looking dry and bare.

We shall return to Hulu Langat for another lovely ride.
