El Mondo Pizza at E-Gate

Posted by Food Promotions On Friday, June 26, 2009 0 comments

Craving for a nice pizza? No idea where to head to? Lets go to El Mondo Pizza ! With their tag line of "The Original Firewood Pizza in Town". All their pizzas are baked from firewood instead on any electronic oven.

El Mondo open their first restaurant at Krystal point and then follow by another one at E-Gate and Tanjung Bunga, Penang. When you walked into the restaurant, you may feel is has a very cosy environment as it has been lighted with dim lights added with their cottage's style interior design.

It is a place that is not only serves pizza but they are famous for their pasta as well. For those that is not cheese lover, not to be worry as El Mondo does serve some western dishes too.

Currently they are running various promotions, one of it is the add on of RM3.90 to your Ala Carte to be entitle for Soup or Salad, Drinks and Dessert. I would say it is a great steal.

For the add on, we are give a choice of Ice Lemon Tea, Coffee or Tea.

The soup will be based on the Soup Of the Day. This is the Boston soup. As i'm a cream soup lover i would say it taste nice but not to my liking.

The garden salad. Nothing more to elaborate for a bowl of salad.

Here comes our main dish, this is the Linguine Marinara (RM 20.90). For a classic choice will be the tomato sauce pasta. It consist of a large mussel, some clams and prawn. The freshness of the seafood is crucial for this dish.

Another choice of ours would be the Fettuccine Con Pollo, Piselli E Funghi (RM 19.90) with slices of chicken meat, green peas, mushroom and cream. Some sprinkle of parmesian cheese would be a thumbs up for this dish.

A visit to this place will not be complete if you have yet to try our their firewood pizza. So here comes the BBQ Chicken Pizza (RM 25.90), top with tomato sauce, cheeses, onions, capsicums, BBQ chicken and BBQ sauce. The thin crust pizza indeed taste great with the combination of the sauces.

Lastly, we are served with the ice creams with three flavors, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry that comes with the add on. There is a menu for dessert too and i heard they are famous for their Tiramisu. I shall give it a try on my next visit. More dishes to be try out as they have a very wide variety of pizza and pasta.

[Invited Review] Mouth Watering Home Cook Meal at Ivy’s Kitchen

Posted by Food Promotions On Tuesday, June 16, 2009 0 comments

Ivy’s kitchen landed in Penang for 2 years. The business is run by Mr. Tan and his wife Ivy. The restaurant is named after the beloved wife and she is the chef behind the scene while Mr. Tan is taking up the management and customer service role.

Ivy’s kitchen is located at Jalan Chow Thye, a sideway from Jalan Burma with Jemputree as the corner landmark. The restaurant in rent of a colonial style building with nice and simple nyonya touch decoration. It is certainly a fine place for meet up, gathering and reunion and etc.

Initially they focused on the nasi lemak market and later venture into nyonya recipe to provide wider food choices to the customers.

Lets see what is offered in Ivy's Kitchen....

Combo Meals consists of Set A to G.

Combo A: Chicken Rendang RM9.00

Combo B: Beef Rendang RM8.50

The rending chicken and beef are typically sharing the same thick curry sauce which is not too spicy but yet remain the aroma it should be. The meat is cooked to the exact time that the tenderness is just there.

Combo C: Nasi Lemak RM7.50 *Most ordered combo

Combo D: Fried Fish Meal RM9
Choices of cintan noodles, bee hoon, tang hoon and porridge

Combo E: Curry Prawns RM9
Combo F: Curry Lemak Fish RM9
Combo G: Curry Assam Fish RM9
Curry Fish can be stingray or thread fin.

* Among all the combos, only Combo C origin with coconut rice, others comes in plain white rice BUT we have a choice to switch to coconut rice without any extra charge. Just make the request during your order.

All set meals come with a fresh fruit juice and a jelly. Except Combo C comes with watermelon juice. Just top-up 50 cent for juice of your choice.

Add on desserts for the combo meals:
Rojak RM2 (Normal Price RM3)
Red bean soup RM1 (Normal Price RM1.60)

Next we move on to the ala carte menu...
Fruit Juice

Fruit juice prices range from RM2.20 to RM2.80.
Add 80cent mixture of 2 fruits
Add RM1 for mixture of 3 fruits

We even ordered a new juice ‘Cucumber+ Mint’ which is not in the menu. Mr Tan are flexible enough to arrange for us. The only one word I could say to describe the juice is 'Refreshing'. Cucumber has a cooling effect which is a perfect match to come with spicy food. It can also helps to relief fewer . Mint itself has a nature fragrant, high water content and is one of the start ingredient in the health diet recipe.

Add On

Joo Hoo Char RM8.00

Loh Bak RM6.00

Cincaru Ikan Sambal RM3.80

Noodles & Porridge

Grouper/Koay Kow Porridge RM9.00

Koay kow, prawn, fried fish, fish or chicken with a choice of bee hoon, cintan, tang hoon or porridge. Skills and recipes are derived and inherited from Ivy’s mother who had made life-long business in Koay Tiao Teng specialty.

Laksa and Poh Pia Chee
These two comes together form a great combination.

Poh Pia Chee (Fried Spring Rolls) RM2 per piece and RM3.80 for 2 pieces

Penang Assam Laksa RM5.00

Dessert

Red Bean Soup RM1.60

Red bean soup with sago. Ivy even added dried lily bulb, silver fungus or longan to it. Dried lily bulb is good for lungs. Nutrition level of silver fungus is almost similar as bird nest and elder generation people take this as an economic replacement to bird nest which is good for our skin, liver. Longan helps to boost up energy.

Customer can also have steamboat there, just call-up for order reservation and food preparation. With price range of RM40++ or RM80++.

Furthermore they have discount stamp reward. How does the ‘discount stamp’ works?
1. There are 10 boxes to be filled with stamps.
2. Each RM5 spending will get one stamp. (No restriction to one receipt, meaning RM50 per receipt will complete the full coupon)
3. After completing the coupon, you’ll get RM7.50 rebate for the next dine in.

A lifetime experience with the Blue Whale Cruise

Posted by Food Promotions On Tuesday, June 16, 2009 0 comments

Did you ever wish to have an extraordinary experience on a special day?
What is the perfect relaxing day in your imagination?

Need some refreshing idea? We are here to share!

We usually spent hundreds and thousands for a nice presents, but have you ever thought of spending time having an experience of a lifetime?

Passionate Eileen and her late husband, Steve the Charter Skipper, a British couple which came to Penang back in 2007 and fell in love with this island, they decided to spend their life here.

They both then invested their savings for this boat, the Blue Whale Cruise in hopes to share their passion and love about Penang island to the tourists and locals.

Blue Whale cruise gives you a special experience, a personal cruise around Penang. It was six in the evening when we started our journey from the Marina Bay, next to QEII.

This 47-foot Chris Craft Boat, powered by 2 Diesel engines is fully air-conditioned, with bed-room, kitchen, galley, toilet and a completely equipped galley will give you a marvelous experience.

This spacious capacity can fit 10-16 pax (max) and is suitable for the private functions and parties. Hosting a small private wedding ceremony here would be a perfect.

The nostalgic memories of the place we grew up. Our proud landmark, the Penang Bridge which is 13.6 km long. Our ship cruised under the bridge and the navigator will sound the horn just before reaching it to alert the surrounding people that we are passing by.

Always curious to know how it feels to be a captain? This is a very exciting experience for those who have a passion for navigating and interested to learn how to navigate a ship.

Admiring the sunset by the Jerejak Island.

It reminds us of our beautiful Penang island and it's surrounding. As unique as Penang island could be, where else can we have such a great experience?

Having personal time with people you love. A relaxing and windy moment to enjoy.

Enjoy the beautiful sceneries of Penang while sipping your cup of cold drink :)

This photo also reminds us of the Hong Kong style cruise parties and celebrities in bikini having their cocktails.

Don't you just envy the lovely couple who just celebrated their anniversary on the cruise?

Wish to have a unique set of wedding photograph shoot at this personal cruise? Read more if you do.

From Marina Bay, Georgetown, we traveled all the way south to Jerejak Island and back. The path of the sail usually depends on the weather of the day.

Dinner served. Among the dish served are Crab Salad, Lamb Chops, Beef Chilly Fry, Fish Fillets, BBQ Prawns, Chicken Curry, Steamed Rice, Apple Pie and Fresh Fruits.

Food served varies from the package you choose. You choice range are from cocktails, finger food to a fine dining food range.

As the night dawns upon us, when we were admiring the starry night, we reached the bay. It was a wonderful experience that we will never forget.

Blue Whale Cruise is a place that gives you an experience that will suit every occasion, taste and budget without burning a hole in your pocket!

If you are asking for a discount, YES, because we are Food Promotions, we do give you a discounted price.

Normal price RM 250/pax for an approximately 4 hours sunset dinner cruise trip, but if you say you are from Food Promotions, you get a 10% discount per pax. Minimum of 8 pax per trip & if you come in a group of ten pax, the 11th person joins in for FREE!

* You may request the quotation for different types of journey and package.
