New Restaurant: Macedoine Dining

Dear readers,

IT IS TIME to MAKAN!!!! I wonder if you have ever faced the same problem like I do. Every time when my friends asking me for lunch, the first question pop up is "Ciak Hami" (what to eat in hokkien) or "Tak Lok Ciak" (where to eat)... I am sicked with this as it is wasting time discussing where to have lunch. again and again.....

The reason being that we had tried most of the restaurants at Bayan Lepas, Sungai Ara, Bayan Baru, Sungai Nibong...... so it is time to look for new location..

If you just like me.. then why don't you drop by Queensbay Mall and pay a visit to one of the newest restaurant: MACEDOINE Dinning. They served western food, such as pasta, chicken chop, fish and chips and etc. It is located at left side of the entrance on South Wing of Queensbay Mall or right above the Old Town.

MACEDOINE Dining
Business hours: 10.30am - 10.30pm
Tel: 04-645 5872
H/P: 016-4673632 (Michael)
Email: michaellau11@yahoo.com
Address: GF-126, Queensbay Mall, 11900 Bayan Lepas Penang

Never heard of the restaurant? Good or not? Expensive or not? How is the service? All those funny yet valid questions keep on popping up. But it didn't stop us from trying. I personally had been there twice with 2 different group of people and seem everyone is satisfied with the food, service and the best thing of all is the PRICE.... SET LUNCH for RM 10.80+ , which included soup of the day, a drink and the main course. But if the boss can consider adding a dessert... then it will be PERFECT......right?

Sound good? Not only that.. it also tastes good. I can't say it is best in town, but for me.. the environment, the service, the food at that price.... I have nothing to complaint about. At least another good place for lunch and dinner at Queensbay Mall.

Who are they... Emm.. I had a chance to talk to one of the owner, Michael who recently came back from Australia and I assume he had been equipped himself with all those culinary skills from the restaurant over there.... I assume la.... and 100% Penang Kia (Kids from Penang). Click here to get their name card.

During our first time there, we had ordered a chicken pie with ice-cream. Overall the taste is fine, but I had one complaint about the plate. I can't get hold of the plate when I wanted to cut my chicken pie... really GERAM... as the plate keep on spinning on the table whenever you try to cut the pie...... Did I feedback to the boss? OF COURSE I DID, Hopefully they can improve it.....

We couldn't get any set lunch on first visit as it was weekend. So we ordered the "Fisherman Basket" and the "Seafood Spaghetti". Both of them did meet my expectation. For the pasta, I personally give thumb up for that. But it is not perfect la still it is more than enough for me.....

Seafood Spaghetti and Fisherman Basket


3 of us were satisfied with the food and service, so i decided to pay another visit with another gang of friends..... This round we try the set lunch, we had ordered different set, so we can try all the set lunch....

Set 1 - Grilled Chicken


Set 3 - Fisherman Basket


Set 4 - Fish and Chip


Set 7 - Grilled Fish

Menu:
1. Set Lunch

2. Set Dinner
3. Ala-Carte
4. Beverage and desert

Penang Event: 4th Penang Career & Entrepreneur Expo 2007

Emm.... I think most of the job seekers like me are waiting this fair so such a long time and the jobs hunting season is about to begin. I wonder if you are happy with your current jobs, or you are looking for a new working environment, or looking a job that can give you more freedom to think and to propose, or just simply don't like your current boss :P....

Anyway, now is time... is time to make a change, for you, for your boss, and for your company. Get ready your resume and seek for the jobs that suit you the most.

Date: 14th - 16th Dec 2007
Time: 10.00am - 6.00pm
Venue: PISA, Relau

Admission is FREE!!!

Most of the company don't really mind if poeple start to quit from the jobs, and prefer of hiring new one. Why? Aren't they suppose to hold the experience employee to work for them?....

Sometime may not be true. They would like to see more inovative idea and breakthrough. Employee who stay too long at a post will lead to lower passion on work, refuse for changes, and lack pf creative way to solve issue.

So they need new blood in order to get better results.

Not only employer, you too. You should hold in one position for too long. Is time to make a change if you dare to take up the challenge. Even if you are not plan to change job now, you are welcome to have a look and may be a talk with the exhibitor who might change your life...

" OK..... but I worry if I meet my supervisor or my boss there? If they know I plan to leave... then ............. " :(

Don't worry too much, they will be thousand of us there and 48 booth setup in PISA. Your boss might look for job like you as well, right?

No pain no gain...... come and pay us a visit, you have nothing to loose but might have someting to gain..... See you there....

I wonder if I wanted to setup a booth there for welovepenang.com to hire people to sustain this web.... :)

Penang Food: "Leng Si Lai" Nasi Lemak - Teluk Bayan

Dear readers,

Is time for us to introduce Penang Food again, this round is on the nasi lemak. I believe you must be very familiar with the food. It is well known Malaysian local food. It is combination of coconut rice with sambal, fried ikan bilis (anchovies), chicken, prawn, egg and slices of cucumber. It can be served in any sort of combination depend on our own favor.

We can easily get one nasi lemak by the roadside stall. Normally nasi lemak is served in wrapped banana leave from road side stall. It is for take away purpose and not for dine in. For dine in style, it is normally served in plate where you can choose your favourite combination of dishes with coconut rice.

Now is time for me to intro one of the nasi lemak stall in the hawker center, Teluk Bayan Hawker Center. The hawker center is located near the Bukit Jambul round about, right behind Shell Petrol Station as shown in below map. It is the favourite stall for most workers from Bayan Lepas Industrial Park.

Stall and Lady Boss (Leng Si Lai - Pretty Auntie)-hope she won't mind... :P


The recommended nasi lemak stall located right in the middle of the hawker centre. It can be easily spot when you on the way enter from the front. The stall is owned by a lady. What is so special about this stall? Because it owned by a pretty lady?

Of course not. The sambal is the most spicy and flaming hot I had ever taken. Sambal is my favourite dish. On my first visit, I asked the lady to give me more sambal. She said it is very hot and I may not able to take it a lot. It sounds like a challenge for me. Guess what? I told her I can take very spicy food, and insist of getting more sambal.

Burning sambal


I regretted what I had said right after the first dip of the sambal. Believe it or not? You may take a challenge. Just visit the stall and just ask for it. You will regret like me....

Even it is spicy, but it taste so well. I just like it. The rest of the dishes such as ikan bilis, black sauce pork, luncheon meat. vege, curry chicken, potato and more. You can choose any combination you want.

More option to choose


Ikan Bilis


One more thing about the stall, the boss is so polite and friendly. You can get more information of how she can get the sambal in burning hot and PRINT this article out and ask for a discount... She will consider.... No Harm trying... :)

Useful Sharing: Cash Advance

Dear reader,
It is time for sharing again; I believe most of us must have met into a situation where money drives everything. This becomes more severe especially during urgent case such as you need to pay for medical treatment. But you don't have enough cash on hand and can't hold it until pay day.

So, how would you solve the issue? Calling friends, relatives, colleagues, parents? If they can't help, what would you do? Give up the medical treatment?

Go for cash advance and payday loans online, this is the place for people like you and me who need emergency cash. It helps us to solve the cash issue in our difficult time. You will feel more comfortable then getting to borrow it from your friends.

The online application is processed faster and you have completely privacy to fill up the application form. The online payday loan is different from the traditional lenders; they don't need a huge stack of documentation. They used Tele-track service to verify information you provide during the application form submission. Once verified, you will get a notification email and you money is on your way.

Simple, right? If you need cash urgently, cash advance online always the best way to get your issue solved. Don't ever panic during emergency situation. They are always there for help.
