Son had this for breakfast. He's a curry fan, so whenever we go anywhere, he'd go for this. But this one had something that he won't touch....pig's blood cake! LOL! He didn't realise that in Penang, most outlets serve curry this way, with mint leaves and more diluted also.
After the PISA, it was Queensbay. The kids always love western. So this time they requested for TGIF. Personally I don't know why there is so much hype surrounding it. But like so many other outlets, they have their own signature dishes and average ones. Can't have everything super nice, right? Then other establishments 'tarak' business.Their tagline....."Come for the food" I can understand. "Stay for the fun"... What fun? I thought they were a bit 'kedekut' this time. When the waiter gave Lil Rainbow the kiddy activity page, they didn't give any crayons. We had to ask for it. And then also, the crayon was broken! They shouldn't scrooge on that cos little kids pester their parents to go places like this for the colouring sometimes...maybe they forgot the 'purchasing power' of little children....which they shouldn't since this place is 'pricier' than your average dining place!
Our first experience quite some time back taught us the portions can be a bit too much for one to finish. So we decided to share. This is salmon... nothing spectacular about it. We ordered it cos we wanted to try something other than meat. Mashed potato is nice though.
I think this was fried mozarella...something like that. Lil Rainbow took most of the pieces. Boleh tahan-lah. But how spectacular can fried stuff get, right? Most of the flavours already masked by the frying.
The main course...beef ribs. If you are beef ribs fan, this one is worth a try...but you have to dig slightly deeper into your pockets. Nice and tender. It's quite a big serving for one.
The mini deserts - the one with the pineapple reminds me of the condensed milk candies that we used to have when we were kids. My mum would make them and we would be allowed to pat it down. The other one is mocha something... Mini deserts are nice...you can try all without actually feel overwhelmed by just one. Should've ordered the 5 mini deserts instead of 3.
Later in the day....a do-it-yourself dinner. This is one of Son's more favourite eating joints at Gurney cos he can take the stuff that likes. And the drinks and desert bar is also well-liked by both kids. Why not when you can pile loads of jelly and other sweet stuff into your cup and come up with any concoction that you fancy. And it's cook and eat all you want....fried or soup! However, be warned, you will smell of your food cos the frying gets to your clothes! But you get the best of both worlds. All in one day... so this is truly an eating binge....but one that we have not done for some time.
