Jamaican Blast

Officially, this is my first embarkment at Seberang Perai, hehe. Thanks to my friend who drove me all the way here from Air Itam This spacious Jusco outlet does resemble the one located at Cheras Selatan in KL, with its elongated block design.Before we resume our getaway around Bukit Mertajam, we decided to stop by here for some quick yummy lunch. And here we are at the Black Canyon Restaurant. It’s situated opposite Big Apple and serves delish Thai food alongside with Western fusion especially coffee.

Jamaican Blast

As blast as its name may suggest, this coffee does seem pretty unique though. It is deemed to be one of the most delicious and refreshing blended Black Canyon coffee that comes together with the whiff of Rum Syrup. The rum lends a hand in some coffee citrusy and these combination of sweet and bitter sensation, bring out the miracle of kaleidoscopic flavours, that are set to mesmerize the coffee snobs

Fried Koey Teow

This stir-fried noodle is definitely not to be missed, else you won’t live up to the maxim that you have just visited Penang!

Full of ‘wok hei’, this dish is served on a piece of banana leaf, the traditional way, as this would add to the overall aroma of this fried silky strips of noodle. ‘Lap Cheong’ in this menu plays an important role in lending some sweetness to the savoury dish. In addition, the prawns are very fresh and juicy, which is best enjoyed with crisp bean sprouts! Somehow, I fancy the bean sprouts in Penang than any other place, haha.

Wan Tan Mee

This dumpling noodle or usually called ‘Wan Tan Mee’ , would make a delish breakfast over here. Though it’s vastly available throughout Malaysia, but I believe each stall has its own uniqueness of taste. At a good price (compared to KL ), the portion is decent and encourage a much lighter meal The noodle are springy and evenly mixed with the necessary condiments and I notice that the Char Siew here looks less reddish as normally seen. It’s good as less coloring is being used and the original flavor is being retained. They are juicy and chewy, taste great as well when paired with the soup ‘Wan Tan’, along with the pickled green chili! Such a bliss to start the day on a hearty meal with airy environment. As the axiom has it, ‘Sometimes, the simplest thing is the best’ and where you get to enjoyed the moment with your loved ones: D

Tai Pau

This chinese bun or fondly know as ‘Tai Pau’ has been accompanying me since young. This literally known as ‘Big Bun’, is the biggest pau amongst the other bun varieties and the main ingredient is of meaty fare. You will find slices of egg hidden inside among the chunky meat, which had been adequately marinated. They were savoury and occasionally juices would come dropping down as you bite on them. It is quite full to a lass, but my bro could easily gobble up the whole bun by himself

Tuna Bun

The Tuna Bread taste not bad. The bun itself was very fluffy and soft. You could still feel the warmness as you hold in onto your palm, so I guess they are freshly baked. The tuna filling used was very savoury and there was this mild piquancy in it. My taste bud told me that perhaps the tuna had been mixed with mayonnaise, diced onion, some pepper and lemon juice. Thus, it wasn’t too cloying nor filling, which went easy on the stomach.
