Soon 姐姐 Birthday Part 1.5

It was another great night at Korean Palace for an early celebration of Soon's birthday, although no handsome Korean Guy as in Daorae. It was also one year since I last met SheeKhim during last year's celebration at Bravo. It was good to see her there. After a year long organizing activities annd events, it was also one night to thank our nicest organizer. Also big thanks to our co-organizer, Leepin...

Happy birthday to Soon 姐姐!

Soon's Birthday Part 2

Date: 27 Nov 2009
Location: Blue Reef Fish and Chips

TeckShyen was back in Penang to celebrate Soon's birthday. With Ingolf's Kneipe fully booked, we decided to head to Blue Reef Fish and Chips for dinner. It is located in a relatively new residential area in the Tanjung Bungah area. After taking a few detours, we finally made it to Blue Reef.

This place is famed for its Alaskan Cod Fish and Chips and it didn't disappoint. What was surprising is that they serve veges with their fish and chips... which is a plus for me. The Mahi Mahi fish and chips was a bit dry. The Fettuccine was decent, but the fish roe adds a crisp texture to the pasta which is new to me. As for the Grilled Garoupa, it didn't leave an impression on me. (TeckShyen can you elaborate on this?) We had the Creme Brulee (Raspberry and Vanilla) and the pear dessert thingy (need help here...) for dessert.

As the name of the restaurant suggests, they are famous for their Fish & Chips and I'll definitely be back for more Alaskan Cod Fish and Chips.

Over and out.

Soon's Birthday

Date: 24 Nov 2009
Location: Korea Palace, Krystal Point
Event: Soon's Birthday with Colleagues and Ex-colleagues

We celebrated Soon's birthday at a new Korean food outlet in Bayan Lepas area: Korea Palace. Soon, being a big fan of Korean food was really looking forward to this event.

The service was quite decent, except for the awkward moment when one waiter, after taking our order came back to our room saying, "your order is incomplete..." There were blank stares at first, we then worked out that they have a minimum order per table.

Unfortunately, I did not take photos of the food before we started eating. My first instinct is always to eat as the food is served. Hopefully Chris took some.

Notable quotes from the attendees: (Note: quotes have been translated or taken in context)
"The Kimchi Stew is not as good as Daorae's", Soon (Kimchi Stew lover)
"The 炒年糕 is nice", Ean Cheng (another Korean Food lover)
"What do you mean by 'your order is incomplete'?", LeePin (Organizer)

Overall, I think we had a great time at Korea Palace. The smile on Soon's face says it all.
