We headed to Francis for dinner. This is what I had. 
That's fish wrapped with salami. He had put some minced chicken, peas and tomatoes under the salami coated cheese. Taste was ok. This was served with pumpkin soup which was nice.
Boo on the other hand has his ever favourite Chicken Chop and garlic bread....but after eating it he said....aiya, forgot about his Chicken Shnitzel. But whatever it is...it's always satisfying to eat there for me...but sadly he'll be moving somewhere else end of this month...where he hasn't decided yet.
After dinner Boo brought me to metrojaya to have a look at the Christmas Deco…Wow it was nice for Penang Standard. Manage to take a few outside shots of the Christmas tree. The theme’s purple in colour. The area where they sold all the deco stuffs was nicely decorated. But I would say it did make the place abit cramped up. They had two beutifull chirstmas trees there. One of it is white and the other is gold. Really beautiful.
Tilt your head for this pic.....

After that we headed back to Boo’s place to watch some movie. But halfway through, I slept on the sofa. Was so tired. Poor Boo had to watch the movie while I was sleeping.
A group of youthful Interpol agents travel to Hong Kong to give evidence at the trial of a notorious crime lord, 'Puma' Duen. When Puma is busted loose en route to court, the Interpol team decides to track him down. To do so, they must enlist the aid of the veteran Hong Kong cop Kong Long (Sammo Hung) to help them investigate Puma's brother, 'Tiger' Duen. Puma has been captured by a team of master criminals, each with their own score to settle with the Duen brothers. The young Interpol team and Kong Long face their greatest challenge as they bring justice to the mean streets of Hong Kong… 
Continuation of the appetiser. Check out the egg shells. This I liked the most from the appetiser place. It's Egg Mayo inside the cute lil egg shells. The far right side is a japanese udon noodle.
This is the dessert section from one angle. They had caramels, blueberry tarts, cakes, jelly, Mango Moose, Ice cream and some Arabian desserts such as (Idli lookalike) and the assorted Cheese Platter.
This is the grilling section. You can choose your meats (beef, lamb, chicken, fish, crab, prawns) and vegetable for the chefs to cook. Then at the far end there's Char Koay Teow. Besides these, there's lasagne, Tandoori chicken with Naan Bread and fried chicken wings with Chips. There was another section of food, but I didn't take a shot. It was basically food in the "containers?" like Fish curry, Nasi Bryani, Chicken curry etc together with Tomato Soup and Lentil Soup. The food there basically looked nice...but somehow when you eat it, there's not much taste to it. It's abit tasteless. Abit dissapointing, but it didn't stop us from eating.
This is what I took for my third helping. Right side is the Tandoori chicken with Naan Bread together with potato and yogurt sauce. Then on the plate I took Mutton, Stuffed Potato, Sushi rice with quales egg, Pork slices with Sugee and stuffed meat wrapped in lotus leaf.
That's me with my first helping of dessert. Skirt at this moment was going to burst.....
That's boo with his cooked meats and vegetable. I was surprised when he took that plate with vegetable. He enjoyed the Vegetable cos they cooked it for him.
All in all....you may think...Arabian Night Theme...what's with the western food, appetisers and dessert...hahhaha I too myself was thinking...the food served doesn't match the theme. Plus they had a three band performing singing oldies....which once again....shouldn't there be some belly dancers around???
But we both enjoyed ourselves. We had the band sing at our table a song by Elvis Prestley. Waiters and Waitresses there served us very well. Guess cos there weren't many people dining that day. So it's a thumb up for that.
Sunday for lunch, followed my parents to try out this new restaurant located at the basement of Gurney Plaza. The Restaurant's called Pastasia. It's quite new. I think about a months old only. They sell Fusion Food. The menu was ok. Had some really fusion type of food. But however what was on the menu doesn't really go with the name of the restaurant. Why I say so.....there's not much variety of Pasta dishes!!! They have, appetisers (which is non pasta), Pizza (non pasta), Fish and Meat (non pasta), and a small section of Pasta dishes. That also ain't fusion-ish.
Apart from the menu, I liked the layout of the place. I liked the chair(sofa) which I sat on. Pretty moden and nice. The colour scheme for the restaurants black and white...so it brings some class to the place.
So this was what I ordered in the end. Didn't want to have the Pasta as I'm on a no Carbo diet....but in the end I had carbo's. But nevermind..weekend I'm out to enjoy my food abit. This is called a foldover pizza. The same as to what I had in my previous blog from Bella Italia (Post: 16/9/2005: Have you seen this size before). However this time it's being deep fried...ouch imagine the fats!! Ok back to the pizza, this was a Turkey Ham, mushroom and cheese foldover pizza. Taste wise, I'll give it a 4 out of 10. It didn't have Oumph... They should improve on making the taste more intense...perhaps more pizza herbs. But however I must say they were very generous with the Mozarella Cheese....had alot of it till I nearly choked on it trying to chew it down. Price@RM19.50++
This was what my dad had. He too is on a no carbo diet as well. This is called a Thai Style Seafood Salad. What's inside....1 mussle, 1 prawn, sotong, onion leaves, tomato, salad leave, Cucumber, chilli and purple salad. Portion was very small. Taste wise it had an intense thai taste. But it was too saltish. I didn't try it...so wouldn't be able to rate it. Price@RM10.50++
Next, finally a pasta dish. This was what my mum had, Carbonara Pasta. It does look good...but taste wise I'll give it 6 over 10. What was missing??? It was missing the bacon fragrance and taste. They put ham bits in which ain't tasty. Cream wise...it's was nice a creamy. Improvements to this would be to add in red wine, bacon bits and Black Pepper. Price@13.50 (i think).
Guess this would be the first and last visit to this restaurant.

Here's a picture of a stall selling grilled chicken. We ordered 2 chickens...hahhaha....they served the grilled chicken with a sweetish, peanut gravy (see the red container). Check out the guy grilling the Chickens. The chickens are placed in a rotary thing that will spin and roast the chicken. But one thing that wasn't good, everytime the guy fans the charcoal, little bits of ashes get stuck on the chicken. Talk about getting cancer!!!
This stall sells during the night market near my area. This guy sells weird types of cakes. He has the thick types of pancake, Ban Chang Kuih too (the folded looking pancake right at the end). The second last cake is made fully from coconut grains. He places the coconut grains in the mould plate, sprinkles some sugar and cooks it. Haven't tried that though. Then the third type is a mixture of chocolate together with the original flavour. The texture of this cake is smooth and slightly on the stiff hard type. Has a strong taste of something I can't seem to get it. Then comes the first round looking cake. We bought it. It had a slight banana cake and in the middle there was Strawberry Jam or Read Bean.

Next stop was finally my Roti Jala. Bought 10 pieces of it. To some of you who may not now what it's made of....it's basically, flour mixed with santan, salt, water, kunyit and soaked with a pandan leave for smell. Why is it called Roti Jala? Jala stands for Netting. Doesn't it look like some netting? Once it's cooked you have to eat it together with Curry. It's delicious!!
During buka puasa times, the muslims would normally go for a sweet drink first before their meal. Why...I wouldn't know...anyone knows?But anyhow just look at the different coloured drinks sold.
This stall....I have no idea what they were selling.....
There is quite alot of variety of dishes to choose from. You can have Chicken/ fish/ mutton curry to fried chicken and fish. Then there is the Potato stuffing which I like...yummy. There's alot of vegetable dishes from normal char vege to ulams. Once I tried out the "Hati" from the banana (Banana Flower). It was tasteless. But you have to eat it together with Sambal. Abit weird texture. But nah shall not have it again.

The picture above is another section of more food. Check out the fried fish stuffed with sambal. If I'm not mistaken it's called Cencaru fish. See in one of the pot that has a green content...i've never tried that curry before.
Boo did the eating this time. I was temaning him for lunch as I had already had my lunch with my parents. So was just incharge of taking some pics. Look at the size of the person next to Boo.....!!!!
This is Boo's regular dishes which he'll always take. Fried Chicken, Char Vege and his super time favourite, deep fried tiny fish which is crispy. The rice looks alot...but don't worry I made sure he didn't eat all of it.
