As mentioned, the Nasi Lemak with Lemongrass Pork was so delicious! The rice was fragrant and the pork was perfection too! We also ordered their teow chew yam chai kuih and gave it 5 stars.

When I visited the temple, several snakes were peaceful coiled around the stands on the altar. There also have some snakes residing on the branches at the garden.

🍡 A Taste of Japan: Harajuku Restaurant
#myfoodies
Address:
29-1-26, The Golden Triangle, Jln Paya Terubung, Relau, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang
We're always looking for good and wallet-friendly Japanese restaurants around the vicinity of Bayan Lepas. And boy, were we thrilled when we found Harajuku Japanese restaurant!
The price may look steep at first, but when the food arrives, you'll come to realize that the portion is big and very much worth the price!
What we loved from the menu was the Zaru Soba and Tonkatsu Curry Don. Also, the Chawanmushi was very flavourful, the dashi stock was amazing!
If you have kids, order at least one kids meal and get a free spin at the gacha machine!

🇻🇳 Authentic Vietnamese Food @ an viet
#myfoodies
Address:
LG-42, Queensbay Mall, 100, Persiaran Bayan Indah, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang
Finally, we found a good Vietnamese restaurant in Bayan Lepas area! Since visiting Hanoi back in 2019, we've been craving for good, authentic Vietnamese meal but there's not much choices available here.
When this restaurant opened at Queensbay Mall, we knew we had to give it a try. We love that we get to choose how much rice or noodles we want, and we can also take our own toppings - a great initiative on lessening food wastage! 👍
Our personal favorite was the Beef Pho and Lemongrass Chicken Salad. As for drinks, do order Egg Coffee! Tastes just as good as back in Vietnam!
They also have really good deals for set lunch, so be sure to check them out! Refer to the last image for Set Lunch menu and pricing.

Penang Snake 🐍 Temple Adventure!
Penang Snake Temple is a unique marvel that I had the privilege to explore. It was a truly awesome experience that left me in awe of nature's wonders and cultural diversity.
Upon arriving at the temple, I was immediately struck by its tranquil ambiance. The scent of incense wafted through the air as I entered the temple's courtyard. The temple's architecture was a sight to behold, with intricate details and vibrant colors adorning every corner.
The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the temple's resident snakes. Inside, I encountered a mesmerizing collection of slithering creatures, including pit vipers and cobras. These snakes were not kept in cages but instead roamed freely within the temple. It was both thrilling and eerie to see them coiled around the temple's statues and altars.
The temple's caretakers, known as "snake charmers," were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They explained the significance of the snakes in the temple's history and their role in the local culture. I learned that these snakes were considered sacred and believed to be protectors of the temple.
As I wandered through the temple, I couldn't help but marvel at the harmony between humans and these creatures. Visitors, including myself, were allowed to touch and interact with the snakes under the watchful eyes of the snake charmers. It was a surreal experience, feeling the cool, scaly texture of a snake's skin and witnessing their calm demeanor up close.
Outside the temple, the surrounding gardens provided a serene escape. Lush greenery and exotic plants created a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for reflection and contemplation. I sat in the temple's garden, appreciating the cultural richness and the beauty of nature converging in this unique place.
My visit to the Penang Snake Temple was truly unforgettable. It offered a captivating blend of spirituality, nature, and culture that left a lasting impression on me. The temple's serene ambiance, coupled with the mesmerizing presence of the snakes, made it an awesome experience that I will cherish forever.

35-1-22, GOLDEN TRIANGLE, 2, Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim, Sungai Ara, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Penang
A new Pastry Cafe just popped up in the sunny island of Penang Island, and it's called Ginza! The shop was open for their Soft Launch last week and it was packed!
Their signature is the Steamed Bun and Shokupan, but sadly the Shokupan wasn't available yet when we were there. But you will still be spoilt with choices! There were gorgeous cakes, sandwiches, croissants and more - so many pastries to select from!
We were blown away by the simple yet classy interior of Ginza. This may very well be our new favorite cafe!

🥟 Xiao Long Baos @ Dragon-i
#mymymemories
Before Din Tai Fung came into the food scene in Penang, the locals here would flock to Dragon-i to enjoy Xiao Long Bao! They have two branches in Penang - Queensbay Mall and Gurney Plaza.
The quality over the years have downgraded slightly (the chicken we ordered had a foul odour, but to their credit, they removed it from our bill). However, it's still the place to go to for a fancy chinese restaurant meal. Even children will love their dishes here, especially the fried rice!
But of course, the Xiao Long Baos are still not to be missed if you're there!

🦪 Huge Oyster Mee Sua @ Mr. Wu
#mymymemories
Address:
72-1-50, Jalan Mahsuri, Bandar Sunway Tunas, 11900 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang
Mr. Wu is a new restaurant located at Arena Curve, Bayan Lepas. The interior is simple, and it has two levels to cater to the big crowd.
The highlight for us was the Oyster Mee Sua! Just look at how big and juicy the oysters were! They were fresh as well, at only RM17.90!
If you're not a big eater, we recomnend to get ala carte items as their bento sets can be a bit big (but very worth the price!). And be sure to come early because there can be a queue, especially during lunch hours!

🥗 Lunch Buffet @ Amaya Food Gallery Penang
#mymymemories
Amaya Food Gallery at Amari SPICE Penang started serving lunch buffets and I thought it'd be a great chance for us to try it out! As of posting (Aug 2023), the lunch buffet is priced at RM98 per person, and RM68 for child or senior citizen.
The theme for today's buffet was "Melting Pot", and it featured local dishes, along with some thai dishes as well. The crowd favorite (my family 🤣) was the Chicken 65 - juicy and succulent, and very fragrant from the spices! My parents specifically loved the fried bihun! There was also ice cream potong available for dessert!
The buffet was a little lacking in terms of choices, but we are hopeful as they are slowly growing in number of patrons! It was still a good lunch, nevertheless!

⭐️ Delectable Dishes at Queens Hall
#mymymemories
Dining options may be aplenty at Queensbay Mall, but if you're looking for something (slightly more) economical and also delicious, the Queens Hall food court is definitely the place to go to! You'll be spoilt with choices!
The crowd favorite is of course the Uncle Kin Chilli Pan Mee! Don't let the queue deter you, it moves really fast! They serve 3 types of pan mee: soup, dry and dry with chilli. If you can't take spicy, take the dry pan mee and add in a little bit of the chilli flakes!
What about OUR recommendation? The Chicken Hor Fun stall serves really good chicken rice! Fragrant rice and velvety chicken, it's all you can ask for in a chicken rice 🍚
What's your favorite stall?

#mymymemories
Address:
72-1-29, Arena Curve, Jalan Mahsuri, Bandar Sunway Tunas, 11950 Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang
Plant A Seed is a vegan restaurant, and many locals may know them as Sushi Kitchen! It is now bought over by a new establishment and they gave rebranded themselves. You'll be happy to hear that the food (and quality) maintained the same, and they even added extra pages to their menu!
Their food has no MSG, absolutely hearty and they make even the most carnivorous person fall in love with vegan food (aka my husband)!
Whenever we come by, we will definitely order their Kinoko Fried Rice and Mango Sushi. These two are our highly recommended items from their menu. If you're a first timer, try these!
This time though, I ordered their Triple Inari Sushi, and Volcano Spicy Noodle! Don't be afraid of the name, you can adjust the level of spice to your liking.
The staff was extremely attentive and happy, we felt warm as we dine here!

ON+ Modern Japanese Bar!

Address:
The Promenade, 5-1-36（First Floor, Persiaran Mahsuri, Bayan Baru, 11950 Bayan Lepas, Penang
There's an onslaught of bars in Georgetown, but not much in the Southern side of Penang Island. When we found ON+ Japanese Bar, we were of course very much delighted!
The bar is owned by Oishi Nabe restaurant at ground floor, and you can choose to order food from there as well.
As soon as you head up to the bar, you'll see Japanese movie posters plastered everywhere. As a Crows Zero fan, I was very, very pleased. The decor receives a 💯 from me!
What was the highlight? The yuzu beer cocktail is a must have! Sweet, tangy and refreshing! They also serve craft beers and sake.
It's also quite quiet, as there are not many patrons. It's a good place for hangouts and deep talks 😋

Foo House is well known amongst the locals for their Pandan Nasi Lemak. Lately, they've been going viral due to their amazing taste, and it surely is worth all the hype!
Lots of curry to choose from, and plenty of toppings you will want to add too! Our favorite dish is the curry prawn and fried fish. They accompany the fragrant pandan nasi lemak really well!
There's always a long queue, but don't worry! The queue moves pretty fast! Just try to be as early as possible so that there'll be plenty of dishes to choose from!

Stayed at Eastin Hotel Penang for a couple of days for business. Had access to their executive lounge for evening cocktail. All the staffs there are super friendly and provided excellent service. The food and beverage spreads are also very good compared to most other similar price hotel with lounge services. It is not a very big lounge, but the layout of furnitures and seating arrangements made it cosy enough to have sone relaxing time during cocktail hours. Highly recommended to include lounge access if you are staying at Eastin Penang.
