This year Penang is having an abundance of durian harvest! Every where you go, you can see durian peddlers peddling their baskets of durian at any time of the day! For those who has exquisite taste buds, they will drive their way to the many durian farms at Balik Pulau to get freshly dropped durian at [...]

I am no durian fancee so I am not that bothered if I can eat any of them for free. However, I will do it for my durian obsessed PiggyBeng!
About 2 weeks back, I received an email invite for a FREE Durian Buffet from my webhost so I decided to jump on the [...]

We saw a new restaurant opened next to Red Bali (opposite Sunshine Mall, Far Lim) somewhere end of last year and never went to try it until early last month. I brought my parents when they were here to attend my maternal grandmother’s funeral. Coincidentally, PiggyBeng was away in Melbourne so that was why they [...]

Sunday is normally Dim Sum Day if we do eat out for breakfast. There is only one place PiggyBeng will go to and that is Red Tea which is located just opposite the old Sunshine Far Lim warehouse. Why only this place? All because of the huge parking space available on the ground of Sunshine [...]

There is a syabu-syabu (Japanese styled steamboat) restaurant at the newly renovated food court on the 3rd floor of Queensbay Mall (the cinema floor) but each time we passed by, we never thought of patronizing it since PiggyBeng is not a huge fan of steamboat meals.

We are not a huge fan of pizzas so we rarely thought of having any since the pizzas here are extremely pathetic. I can still remember my bad experience with Pizza Hut a while back. I can bet with anyone we could never get good pizzas here (from those fast food chain outlets) like the [...]

Great title? How I wish I am forever sweet 16 eh?!!!
This year my birthday fell on a Friday which is one of my favorite day. PiggyBeng works half day on Friday so it was a good day… no less. The day went on smoothly though there are still a few yelling [...]

On the 28th of December last year, most parts of Penang island were effected by the water disruption due to some upgrading work by PBA. Though we kept water in our house which is more than sufficient, I felt that it is extremely inconvenient since we are so used to having the taps. So, to [...]

This is another very backdated post.
On Darrius’s actual birthday after we had breakfast (the famous beef noodles in Taman Tayton) and dropped PiggyBeng at the KLIA Express station, we adjourned to Kidz Sport at Bangsar Village Shopping to celebrate his day with his cousin, Adrian. At the same time I wanted to check out Marmalade [...]

Are you a bread lover? If you are, then you should have heard of Lavender Bakery which has a few outlets in KL and in Johor too!. Actually they started in Johor back in 2000. How I wish they have one here in Penang!
The first time I purchased from them was about 3 years back [...]
