Well, for a start, I am in Lumut now. In the state of Perak, Malaysia. Took a plane on friday morning, 8am flight to penang before i took another 3hrs cab ride to this place.
Lumut is a small town where mostly people come here to go to Pangkok island to relax. I guess its more or less like sentosa in singapore but with the activities of Langkawi ba. (Personally, my last Langkawi trip was beach, sand, sleep, eat place, no offence if u had a more enjoyable trip there.) The thing is, there is only one street with shops. Yes ONE... left and right the streets is convenience shops, and lotsa shops selling its local delicacies. Which i assume is seafood. But those drieds ones. Like dried ikan billies, salted fish, dried fish, satay fish etc... Nothing interests me. They also have a 7-11 and luckily KFC. lol.
Oh beside these, they also have three nice restuarant. They rest is those malay kopi tiams, and i nvr been inside so i got no comments on those. The name is Capri (serves italian n western stuffs), Jooks (Western) and Rockafellas (Western). Yesterday i had lunch at Capri with my client. Which i had a carbonara n Henekien there. The Carbo is the dry n eggy type. The taste is alright. That night, which is yesterday night la. *Machiam very long ago like tat* I went Jooks for dinner. Was walking around to find Rockfellas coz friend says it better. Walked to the end of the street and still cannot find, so i might as well go to Jooks loh. Oh, did i mention before coming out for dinner, which is around 7, i had a plate of nasi goreng and watermelon juice. I order the nasi goreng thinking that i will be having mee goreng. lol Weel, the nasi goreng came with three chicken satays which is tasteless, but the fried rice was ok ba.
Back to my dinner, i had lamb rack there with two beers. lol Been drinking alot, like expats. lol. Anyway, the lamb was nice. the ambience was ok, though it was pretty dark. Ordered medium well and it came pretty close to it. its supposed to be cooked over charcoal, which explains the wait too. Didnt take photos coz i trying to be discreet doing it, and i didnt bring my N95 so have to make do with my I780...
Morning breakfast was lousy, LOUSY... They have "sticky" nasi lemak, which i wondered where is the lemak?!? the cordiments were hard, n tasteless. There is fried kway teow which i feels taste better. But the best food there is actually... the cornflakes... At least it is not those "lao hong" type. lol
Lunch was much more enjoyable. Had steak n onion soup at Capri. See picture below.
The onion soup was quite lousy. Some more they toasted a bread with chees but put it inside the soup, making it soggy. Lotsa oinons, but no onion taste. Then again, how does onion taste like?
The steak is much better. Though i asked for medium, they serve more to the medium well side. But the taste is not tat bad. Thre presentation is also not tat bad too. Though i find the meat a bit small... lol End up i went to get KFC before i return to the hotel n rest.
Dinner i went to Rockfellas, expecting quite a crowd since its sat evening. At 1830, i was the very first person in the restuarant. Some more the rest is located at one ulu corner of the streets, which explains y i couldnt find it initially. As the interiot looks dark, like any other bars, so i took the seats near the outside. Which was soooo wrong... I start to see flies flying around n disturbing me. After ordering, i already got a few bites on my forehead and legs. Thinking that it would be quite weird to shift seats to inside, so i tried to act ignorant to the bites. Untill the soup came. (see below) I actually ordered a tom yam soup and its house special, rocka beef steak. and a bottle of heni again. lol

The tom yam soup was alright, pretty sour and spicy. Not that bad for a local restuarant.
After couldnt enduring all the bites, i made an excuse that i wanna get a better view of the tv inside. n the beef steak was served. The white stuff u see on top of the beef is actually chicken bits. Over here, the steak is more then medium well. *I ordered medium as usual* After i was about half way thru, i was gushing my food down my throat. Coz i cant stand the bites anymore... and want to get the hell out of the place, asap. So u can say i totally dun enjoy the steak. It is also the most expensive of the lot. Definately not coming back, Next Jooks, steak for lunch and maybe pizza for dinner at Capri. :)
Oh did i say y i eating all these stuffs? Coz my client pay. lol so jus eat my fill loh. Although i dun know if they will pay for my beers, if not i jus pay myself loh. :P
