Taste of Penang Food at Gurney Drive Singapore

With numerous hawkers and restaurants in Singapore, for me foods usually taste the same. But locals can distinguish which of the hawkers offer the best food in town.

I heard about Penang Malaysia from my Malaysian Chinese colleagues, they say that Penang offers the best food in Malaysia. And most of my Singaporean friends confirm with that claim.

Causeway Point was renovated end 2011, it was indeed a better mall now. With the renovation, new restaurants popped out with better food quality I can say.

Me and hubby saw Gurney Drive at 5th floor Causeway Point, when I saw that they offer Penang food I told him that my colleauges said that Penang Food are the best. We checked their menu and it's affordable, so we decided to try their offerings.

Tip1: For more information about Gurney Drive, here is their website.

The place is also inspired with Gurney Drive hawker style in Penang.

Tip2: Try their fried rice and kway teow, I can say that the food are rich in flavors and can really fill-up hungry tummies.

Tip3: Chendol float and ice coffee float are refreshing! Try their drinks to balance the meal.

If you're looking for Penang food try Gurney Drive, the chef they say is very experienced with Penang taste.
Worth a try!

Classic Filipino Dining at Resorts World Manila

One of the traveler's adventures is to try the local cuisine of their destination. Filipino dishes evolved gracefully through time. The original Filipino dishes maintained it's classic taste but were influenced by Chinese, Spanish, Japanese and American twists.

Crisostomo Restaurant is one of the restaurants in the metro that offers Filipino dishes. The resto is located at 2nd Flr. Newport Mall Resorts World Manila. For more information pleasae refer to http://www.rwmanila.com/restaurants-at-resorts-world-manila/restaurant-directory/view/153 .

Crisostomo is the name of the main character in the famous novel Noli Me Tangere written by Dr. Jose Rizal ( Philippines' National Hero ). The menu dishes were named after the characters in the novel which are very interesting.

 The interior design of the restaurant is classic inspired with the influence of Filipino house architecture during the Spanish regime.

For appetizer they serve dried corn, this is a local tidbit which is a bit salty but certainly a Filipino's favorite.

We tried two dishes for our late lunch. We had a seafood platter with coconut milk, fish, mussels, squids, prawns and vegetables like squash and long beans.

 The other dish is the local version of chop seuy, sauted vegetables with squid and quail eggs. These dishes go well with white plain rice.

You can also try their cakes and pastries for dessert like ensaymada, egg pie and a lot more.

Give Crisostomo a visit and experience Filipino cuisine!
