20/04/2010 Butterfly Farm, Penang

This was the third time that I visited Butterfly Farm since I owned my camera last year, since I was kinda lazy to go into the wild to find the insects for macro shooting, so I opt for the easy way.

So nothing much to say, just some photos sharing. Enjoy ;)

After spending 3 hours in the butterfly farm, me and my bro-in-law and his sister decided to leave for lunch.

We have been struggled for the place for lunch, in the end, we decided to go to the Japanese restaurant in Tanjung Tokong for lunch.

13/04/2010 Daorae Korean Restaurant

2 days ago, me and a bunch of friends went to Daorae for dinner which located at Bayan Lepas. This was the first time I went to Daorae, my friend have told me that it's quite nice, though the BBQ meat is not as good as the Korean/Japanese fusion restaurant "Chang Chun Guan" we went before, but the value of food is much worthy there, especially they provide free cabbage and free side dishes.

And more side dishes, all of them are f.o.c.

Pork marinated with herbs and ginseng extract, but I can't really taste the taste of herbs and ginseng

Ginseng Chicken with rice that looks like porridge and without the taste of ginseng

Kimchi Soup, didn't really try those as there're too much food on the table

DSC01178
All the food consumed by five of us. Actually there's one more BBQ chicken which I didn't snap

After the main course, the restaurant provided us watermelon and ginger tea as dessert. I would say it's a satisfying meal (though not satisfying with the ginseng chicken and ginseng marinated pork) and the price is quite reasonable, with so much food, it costs us RM204.50. I will surely revisit this place again.

14/03/2010 Orchid Festival, Penang

Almost 3 weeks ago, me and my brother-in-law and his sister went to the Orchid Festival near the Botanical Garden, Penang. At first, I thought there will be many Orchids and other floral for viewing and photo shooting, but in fact, it's far from what I expected. The Orchid festival was actually some florist stalls that selling plants and orchids, and some orchid displays.

Well, since it's not so attractive, so only a few photos was taken during that morning.
