T.G.I. Friday's

Open Now

Now Closed

TGI Friday's is a U.S. franchise restaurant. Although it has been around for several years in the Klang Valley, its presence in Penang is relatively new. The outlet that we visited for lunch is at the ground level of Queensbay Mall.The restaurant's front is decorated with its iconic red-and-white stripes. There are plenty of seats available, but we were surprised that there were few diners. In many cases, this is usually not a good sign.We ordered a serving of Fried Mozzarella as appetizer. It comes with a serving of celery and dipping sauce. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy it that much because the cheese was not melted.One of the main dish that we ordered was the Salmon Pasta. It comes with 2 pieces of grilled salmon. Either the salmon was not fresh, or it was overcooked. Either way, the taste was ruined.Up next on the dining table was the Cajun Chicken. The quarter-chicken was garnished in herbs and accompanied by a side of fried sweet potatoes. This dish is reasonably good to the taste buds.For drinks, we had Hot Coffee with whipped cream. As for dessert, we had a couple of Parfait: caramel and Oreo. The taste is reasonable.Overall, I wouldn't say it was an extraordinary restaurant, but probably something lower down your list if you have no better place to dine. continue reading

The name for this dish is rather interesting so this must be good, right? Luckily it lives up to its expectation. This interesting dish consist of lamb shank slow cooked into perfection so it just falls off the bone when cutting into it. A huge amount of tomato based sauce with assorted vegetables are spread across the juicy and tender meat. On the side is a small portion of mashed potato with cheddar cheese. Absolutely brilliant dish! continue reading

It is a place where I can't afford, just pass by. It is a name which I am so familiar with but have never tried. TGIFriday's, a place where I label it a very luxurious place, associated with expensive food, high class people and so forth. While, thanks and congratulation to Chaswood Brand for the 50th store opening on 22 November 2012. Chaswood Brand has expressed the pleasure and successful of them by providing 50% discount on food to all the franchises. It was so nice and this has created a golden chance for us, students, to savor a meal in T.G.I.F.We went there in a gang of 11. It was so fortunate that we have made the booking earlier. We actually booked 10 seats, but there was another friend who wanted to join. When we called again yesterday to reserve for 1 more seat, we were told that it was fully reserved. Thus, it is recommended for making reservation whenever there is any kind of promotion like this. The most amazing part I would say was the service provided by the waitress. It was a promotion day, we were honored being treated politely as normal day. The waitress let us choose whether we want a smoking or non smoking area, any people birthday and any special requirements. So, it was so great, I would rate 100 marks for the services.Well, it's time to talk about the food. I ordered Southwest Mac and Cheese Pasta. It was too bad that I had sore throat, so pasta was the most suitable dish for me. Southwest Mac and CheeseA juice fire-grilled chicken breast served with our creamy Monterey Jack, jalapenos, penne and cheese, then finished with shredded Parmesan cheese and diced red peppers. RM26.90I still remembered that the first taste on the pasta was so nice, I could sniff the smell of the cheesy pasta, and it was warm. The pasta was smooth and chewy. I almost scream for the delicious taste. Then, I still haven't managed to my second savor, I was asked to take photo together. Then, I went round table to taste others' dishes. Know what? When i get back to sit, my pasta turned cold. The cheese became sticky and hard, all the pasta stuck together. The grilled-chicken turned so dry until i felt so hard to chew and finish it. I was so regretful, and I stole the sauce from my friends to dip my chicken in. Well, I believed that it would be great if I could finish it earlier, I didn't rate a good grade for this dish for my experience.My friend ordered another pasta, she preferred those steaks ordered by others.Cajun Shrimp $ Chicken PastaShrimp, chicken and fettuccine with a Cajun-Alfredo kick! Juicy shrimp and chicken are perfectly seasoned and sauteed with green and red bell peppers, then tossed with fettuccine, diced tomatoes and our creamy Cajun Alfredo sauce. Topped with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and green onions. RM30.90Beefs time. Well, if you are beef lover, I would highly recommend you to try either one of this. It is so nice, and actually I don't like beef. While, I liked this so much, the meat is so soft and I think their sauce contribute a lot to the yummy taste. Tennessee SteakA thick 10-oz. Australian chilled air flown grain-fed strip steak, seared ad char-grilled to ideal tenderness. Served with seasonal vegetables, Cheddar cheese mashed potatoes and our Tennessee sauce.RM59.90 Tennessee New York Strip & ShrimpA generous 10-oz. Australian chilled air flown grain-fed strip steak and crispy Cajun-spiced shrimp served with Cheddar cheese mashed potatoes and our Tennessee sauce. RM62.90That's all the photos I managed to snap. There are friends who tried salmon and different type of chicken. Well, there is one ChopHouse Chicken is among the overall I like the most. It was some how liked a grilled in a hot plate. I didn't get the photo, but believe me it is was awesome, which is a dish shouldn't miss off. The chicken is deeply rinsed with the sauce and grilled in hot plate. ( I guessed it is the process of cooking it). A friend called Michelle who like T.G.I.F so much recommended me to try the Fried Mac and Cheese. i didn't as i have mentioned I do have sore throat. So, I hope to pay a visit again, and try it and those burger who are really tempting me. The last thing I want to share is this. You can entitled a free Chicken & Shrimp Cajun Pasta or Sizzling Chicken if you give T.G.I.F a feedback on your dining experience. You must fill in the feedback within 48hours. There is a check no in the receipt, fill this in the feedback form and after that you can get a valid code. As simple as this few steps and you are entitled another meal in T.G.I.F. It is damn worth.This is our bill after 50%... hooray.. so happy with it. This is a really joyful dining experience in T.G.I.F. For me, the food worth the price it costs.

I ordered this grilled chicken. The half size chicken breast is huge. So as the fried onion and mashed potato. The chicken taste a bit dry. Luckily they have the sauce to dip it. So it moisture up the meat. It is quite tender but the meat is really dry. After I finished all the sauce, I need to dip in chilli sauce only wont feel the chicken meat very dry at all. Still nice place to eat. continue reading
