Yu Min Golden Buckwheat Seaweed in Penang

Whenever Chinese New Year comes near, there are a lot of goodies selling everywhere.
Thanks to Willy, I've gotten a chance to try out this special flavoured golden buckwheat seaweed by Yu Min.

Buckwheat is a type of healthy seed, it brings a lot of benefits to your body and keep you healthy.

Yu Min's Golden Buckwheat Seaweed is an imported product from Taiwan.
It is a very popular brand in Taiwan and they sell all sorts of Buckwheat products other than seaweed. Now it has come into Malaysia and we can get it from Penang.

The packaging of Golden Buckwheat Seaweed is actually God of Wealth, what we commonly known as Cai Shen. The design is rather cute and creative, it is kinda attractive to me.

Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner @ Xuan Xin Restaurant, Gurney Plaza

Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
I believe that many of you are still looking for a place to have like gathering, reunion dinner, and so many more just to gather together and have a nice meal.

Some of us are also too busy but still organizing gathering at home would be the best, so we usually grab some food from restaurants.
This year, Xuan Xin Restaurant have came up with some special promotion for all their customers.

Poon Choi is one of the Chinese New Year dishes, where it is filled with a few layers of different food like pork, prawns, abalone, duck, chicken, vegetables and etc.
Every dish in Poon Choi is representing a different good meaning for Chinese New Year.

Other than Poon Choi, there are other special dishes prepared by Xuan Xin Restaurant this year for their customers to celebrate this coming Chinese New Year. 

Xuan Xin Restaurant is available at Gurney Plaza 3rd floor, and Queensbay Mall 2nd floor.

源珍香肉干 Yuen Chen Siang Meat Jerky (Bakkwa) from Muar

I am very selective when it comes to Bakkwa (肉干).
It is never really my favourite food because it will make me have sore throat, but one of the biggest reason is because it will make me fat when I can't stop wanting for more once I started.

Thanks to Kelly, I get to try out the all new flavoured meat jerky from 麻坡源珍香 Muar Yuen Chen Siang. Not forget to thanks Willy for delivering the bakkwa all the way from Butterworth too.

Yuen Chen Siang have been in this industry for more than 40years serving healthier barbecued meat and meat floss and has became a trusted household brand name in Malaysia.
I'm kinda surprised to find that meat jerky can come in so many unique and different flavours.

It comes with recycle bag, very handy and good quality.

DCOVA @ Logan Heritage, Penang

Pasta is one of my all time favourite.

I will usually look at the pasta menu whenever I dine at a cafe or restaurant.

Sometimes I got quite bored with the pasta menu where people are serving usual pastas like Carbonara, Bolognese, or Lasagna.

Recently I got introduced to a new cafe in Penang called DCOVA, which is located at Logan Heritage. (The previous Lighthouse Coffee).

I've been hearing a lot about that place, and finally I got time to have lunch over there with Chloe.

DCOVA's location was Lighthouse Coffee, if you have visited the place before, it shouldn't be a problem for you to locate it.
