Vinegar Pork Trotter
this bowl of sour black broth was decent, with generous amount of meat. the ratio between sweetness and sourness was perfect. however, i wish the broth was thicker. it was watery but not diluted. i hope you understand what i am trying to say :/Yong Tau Foo
the lead dish! a spread of yong tau foo stuffed with fresh fish paste. we had fried brinjal, fried sui kao (dumpling), and fried bean curd skin, served piping hot and crispy. while tofu, chili, lady finger and bittergourd swimming in clear soup full of sayur manis. each item is priced at RM 1, considered standard price in klang valley area!

white tofu was my favourite! berry smooth and silky . and brinjal! crisp on the outside while soft in the inside.

on the whole, yong tau foo was pretty good. service was brisk prolly because it’s already past lunchy time. i would definitely come back again if i have a craving for yong tau foo. Ampang’s is quite a distance away and too crowded, nah.

Ingolf has been on my to-dine list for the longest time. my friends always tell me how good is their sausages! this picture doesn’t do justice to how GINORMOUS this plate was, i must add.there’s chicken-, country- and porksausage, porkbelly, nuernbergers and chipolatas, grilled turkeybacon, ham, porkchop, porkpatties AND chickenmeatloaf serves with sauerkraut, crispy criss cut potatoes, onion sauce and mustard.

even typing these make me feel stuffed. this’s too muchy for two lasses who CAN really eat. we couldn’t finish it and have to outsource from LC and CV seimou. i think it can be shared among three person. the porkbelly was nice but the skin was a tad, i donno, sticky? it adhered to my inner cheek =.= . the patties were a tad hard, the ham and bacon were yum! processed meat was a tad salty for our liking.LC and CV had this which consists of porkchop, beef tenderloin, lambchop, baconrasher and chipolatashttp://constance-ant.com/2012/05/dinner-ingolfs-kneipe-german-restaurant-bar-tanjung-bungah-penang/

Mid of this month we had a monthly labmates outing again! together we barbeque-ed, visited Ernest Zacharevic’s murals and cycled around George Town!

This time we visited this fairly new (then) cafe at Bishop Street!GohKaki is ‘kaki lima’ / five feet way / corridor in Hokkien where people passes by or play badminton or park their bikes.

GohKaki Cafe is situated along the same street as The Cruise Steak House. it’s not that hard to locate the facade. however parking space is limited on weekday. it’s a busy street with many banks in vicinity. we went on a Sunday, the street was clear. #WIN.sight from the entrancePenang Ideology | RM 8.90

Cute right the turtle miku!This’s the right way of eating it, spread the sambal in between the miku.

This was what I had. So many thing going on the plate. I have a spoon of rice followed by strips of green apple alternated with cucumber. Pretty refreshing yet tasty dish I reckon.Cheese Tic Tac Toe | RM 7.90

I must say the proprietor is creative with the dishes plating and name.

My dining partners were pretty fail in drawing cross and circle :/the food ain’t its main attraction, the ambiance is. so i reckon it’s a place where you can have a tête a-tête with your besties over cuppa teas or coffee! if you’re there during weekend, you can even have some games which people used to play at GohKaki

apparently DÔME Café pioneered the cafe culture in KL when the Melium Group introduced the international café chain to the nation in 1995. since then, it has been a favourite hangout spot for Malaysian to get together with friends and family for a drink or bite (source: DOME's website).

other than pork burger from Cafe 43 and Ric's Burger, charcoal burger from New York Pizza, and charcoal pork burger from Spade's Burger, there's Stacks Burger competing in Penang's burger scene now!Stacks Burger located at Siam Road, is operated ala push cart style. seating is available in the shop lot, equipped with air-conditioner (phew!) so it's comfortable to dine in!menu is pretty straightforward with only one Smoked BBQ Pork Burger, and you may pick to stack on or not. and only mineral water and canned drinks are available at the moment.

you'll be given number cards after placing your order. seems familiar? yeah the previous owners are acquaintance with the bossie of Spade's Burger, that's why ;)

now the owners are a few young entrepreneurs who work together to man this stall. two of them are acquaintance of mine. but rest assured, review is unbiased okie!Smoked BBQ Pork Burger | RM 8.80

my friend had this, the orginal pork burger on the menu, without any add-on. the burger had a slice of cheddar cheese and a pork patty together with caramelized onions, BBQ sauce, and lettuce.Smoked BBQ Pork Burger with pineapple rings and streaky bacon as stack-ons | RM 11.30while i had this! with pineapple rings and bacon stacked on my burger!

i actually like the pork patty here! it's crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. and the pineapple rings added extra freshness to the burger, making it lighter. bacon on the other hand was too thin to my liking, i almost couldn't taste it. and i reckon, they can go easy on the mayonnaise, perhaps apply on one side of the bun is sufficient? sorry i watch my diet :/

if you read my review on ric's burger, i complimented on the patty but it's too greasy for consumption. the burger at Stacks Burger wasn't greasy at all!

however, the price was a lil' steep after stacking-on :/.they said, beer and burger is a perfect match. what say you? ;)
