MAX GOURMET (美食之家)

I think most of the penang-lang tried Max Gourmet at Gurney Plaza before. This is one of my all time favorite restaurant for Cantonese style cuisine too. The best ever dish you cant find anywhere else is the fried radish cake and the second best is the steamed glutinous rice with chicken. Trust me, order this and you wont get dissapointed. In fact they have so many best dishes that i would recommend like the spicy and sour beehoon soup, steamed keow teow with fish and the duck rice.

There are many people most of the time so if you were planning for a relax meals while chatting with friends, this is not the right restaurant because you will feel the pressure of people standing beside you waiting for table. Unless you went there not during the lunch/dinner time, you will be able to enjoy you food slowly then.

Welcome to my blog talking about FOOD! Yes, be it good or bad food, Asian or Western. I started the idea of writing this blog when my lovely husband suddenly commit to bring me out once a month for "good" food at new restaurant that we never tried before. This means i should at least have the source of writing once a month :)

Not only I'm going to blog about good food in Malaysia but also those we have tried overseas during our vacation. Good food bring good memories. I'm so excited to share and let's begin with the unforgettable beef we have had back in year 2008.

Have you ever tried the beef that melt in your mouth? We did and it was at Takayama, Japan (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5900.html). As you can see from the photo below, it was served plain without any seasoning and we just need to cook it on a barbecue pit. We especially love the beef with cube shape, and you ask me why? It's so tender and juicy that it burst out when you bite it and it's flavourful too. We are beef lovers and had tried so many beef in US, Europe and New Zealand, but believe me, none can win over our heart again this. It's the best and unforgettable gastronomy experience for us so far.

The unseasoned beef

 It should be easy to find the restaurant asTakayama is a small town where you can explore it by foot. Just watch out for this restaurant as shown in below picture.
