#1 restaurant in George Town



According to Tripadvisor anyway - Kebaya, the restaurant at the now super famous and IT place to be, Seven Terraces - people who knows me know that I swear by TA and since this place came highly recommended, what a boy to do but go right? Esp since I can't afford the rooms.

Maybe I've been backpacking for awhile now so my standards are higher if I have pay 10x more than usual for meals. its around RM100++ for one selection from starters, main, vegetables and dessert menu.
  • Wine - prices are decent with a small selection
  • Cocktails - decent enough, pricing standard for the typical chi chi places
  • Food - it's ok, not great tasting, pork was dry though everything was beautifully presented. My foreign friends seems to like it so maybe it's just me. I've tasted better fried kangkung/vegetables.
Like some comments from the other reviewers - environment is pretty uptight and we are totally locked off from the hotels, would be nice to have a look around this is hotel and restaurant is by no means cheap for local standards, maybe for expats and 10% of the affluent crowd but not locals. It's pretty much a miss for me, so much potential and expectations yet so little returns.

Number one this place is not.

I was staring at the plate and saucers for so damn long! They are beautiful and looked like mine.

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...

Oh dear, stupid Malaysian at work again!

I am quite appalled with the recent happenings in this fourth world, up the tree country that I am calling home. At the risk of making my blog absolutely unfabulous (it should be plastered with my latest sexcapade or glamourous rendezvous) and all too political and very society (it should be on high society, thats what), I really have to say this - what the fuck is wrong with people we hire and elect here in the country? They are basically saying that rape is justified because she is born a woman or someone should be killed just because of his or her skin color. These people doesn't have a wife, mother, daughter, sister or friend? Maybe an ape gave birth to them and they marry a rock as wife. What nonsense!! Oh god, will someone either transport me out from here or slap some sense into those idiots? How much more longer do we, Malaysian with just a little bit more brain and heart than those imbeciles have to live with these STUPID statements and actions? Kau meng loh!!!! Despite ...

I am used to doing things by myself

So what is it about people that they need to be in a group and do things "together-gether". Is it the fear of being labelled as an outcast or unwanted or even unpopular? Ever since we were a kid, even back in the days of being in a school the need to belong is so strong. Doesn't matter if you are in the group of weirdos or uncool kids, you are alright as long as you are in a group. I never had much trouble being in a group or whatever till high school that I found that people are more into their cliques than ever and when I lost mine (they are all older and graduated earlier)I can remember feeling rather lost as well. As though my support system has gone and I have no where to stand. It feels almost like an leper. Don't get me wrong, I know people and I talk to them but I guess somehow I was never close to anymore. But that's fine with me cause I am never the type that hangs out with anyone or do anything after school other than rushing back to sleep (cause the ni...
