Tao...

Have not been sitting in front of the computer much these last couple of days... busy, not enough sleep, tiredness among some of the reasons. Been the longest break from here... LOL! And the days are extremely humid these past weeks. Crazily so.... even the skin feels as though it is burning up upon contact with clothes straight out from the bathroom!

Celebrated Daughter's birthday during the weekend. We went to Tao as Son had not gone there before. The last time Other Half and I went, we were ignorant enough not to know that it was ala-carte buffet! So we didn't 'maximize' the meal. This time, instead of the joint at Auto City in Juru, we headed for Tao at E-Gate, just after the Penang Bridge.

Fresh from NS, Son's appetite has improved! Hope it lasts! This is salmon soup.. in a milky broth. Very nice! I went again with my friends last December and we had a smashing time! But that was at Tao in Auto City, Juru. One thing about this ala-carte buffet is food comes straight out from the kitchen. The soup is still steaming when it arrived at the table. Other Half and I sapu bersih this one! Soothing!

These are baby crabs and shrimps. No wastage... everything hauled up from the sea is food! When we asked the waiter what the order was like... he told us that they're like crackers... eat cannot get full... did he mean finger food or just appetizers? Anyway, Daughter squealed that we were eating 'babies'!!! Oh ya! This is one place where you have to make reservations or you might end up eating in the warm air outside or not at all.

This is one of my favourites. Bite and swallow everything.... shisamo or the forever pregnant fish! They have another version fried coated with sesame seed. Also very nice.

Tofu steamed with unagi, soothing. Quite nice also.

Mussels baked in cheese. Juicy and succulent. These tasted quite good. We also had many round of scallops baked this way.

Rainbow Maki. Don't order too many of these. They are very filling and you'd be filled up before you know it. Not worth it! But these were actually quite nice also. Smell and taste went well together... very appetizing.There were many other dishes which we tried... Also, you have to call to make reservations; else end up eating outside in the warm and humid weather or none at all. We made reservations via their website the previous time but this time, the site said reservations online was still on hold! We were there for lunch and the place was quite full. Nice time!
