Da Ban Restaurant @ Jalan Zainal Abidin, Penang

Wondering where can get a genuine sze chuan food in town? Da Ban Restaurant is your choice（大班）. Yup, the decoration of the restaurant is so "China", what by means that is bamboos, china style everything!! This restaurant is located @ Jalan Zainal Abidin, the road that just opposite Tune Hotel or Little Cottage Cafe @ Jalan Burma. The Ambiance in the restaurant is good, chinese ochestra songs played, makes you feels like you are really in china. No more talking crap. Picture shows the magic.







The pre-dishes is served, the ikan bilis and seaweed.

The seaweed is marinated, i think, coz it is a bit spicy...


The sauces..get a mix on it...

We also get "xiang pian" as our drinks.Thought might drink tea is better..lol




We ordered a "yin yeung" steambot which consist of plain soup and sze chuan spicy soup. which is their 2 person set steambot.



The dishes, it contains prawns,balls,seaweed...and many...really enough for 2 person.


The porks!!

Besides steambot, we order an extra dishes, which was the spicy oil dumpling.



Spicy......ya spicy...

Overall, the taste is not bad, but i miss the sze chuan style restaurant in KL...金山城(located near pudu)& 重庆(located @ sunway,opposite to yuen steambot)..lol might find some time and go to KL...

Smoky Jacks Ribs and Steak House @ Upper Penang Road, Penang Island

Recently Penang Island Food Hunt will be started as my target. As one day per week, relaxation and fine dining is required to calm my soul down!!haha So many excuses. Yup i am kind of person who love foods, who does not?(i know someone really doesn't). For this visit, me and my frens went to Smoky Jacks Ribs & Steak House located at Upper Penang Road. Words is not my style. Picture tells everythings.


The menu...


The wines...


The garlic breads, taste not bad, especially with the soup..(ya garlic bread taste goods with soup...)

For a Set Lunch Meal..Either a salad or a soup of d day can be chosen as your appetizer, non of us choose vege..swt...we love soups more..

We get a potato soup for that day..The taste is nice With the decoration of a little greenish basil(i think) turns out with a good effect..


Hot teas for my drinks..

Here comes the main course meal...my fren ordered a grilled COD fish with mushroom sauce??(maybe coz i forgot it)

I wasn't able to try it, coz i was busy taking my own meal!!XD..


The signature cuisine-Smoky BBQ pork ribs. My main course.
The sweet & sour tastes tickles my taste buds and make it more appetizing..(BON APPETIT)

After the main course. Dessert will be served.


We get a cup of Ice Creams, A slice of juicy watermelon and a Slice of cakes.

A fine dining meal like this costs a lot??No..i only cost us about 24MYR++. The price is reasonably. The ambiance there is quite nice. We sat inside the barrel-like seats where most probably is the outstanding design of this restaurant.

This place will be in my re-visits list.LOL.Try it out guys.
