Express Keto Meals

I believe many of you are probably the same as me, which gained weight throughout the MCO with the cycle of "Eat, Work, Sleep, Repeat". So now is time to payback with starting back Keto diet. In case you still have no clue on what is Ketogenic Diet...

The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits and over 20 studies has shown that this type of diet can help people lose weight and improve their health. 

Royale Chulan Penang is targeting at the health conscious group with this promotion and also to encourage guests to live a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle in addition to changing the perception that healthy food is tasteless and not filling.

The Express Keto Meals features 14 different keto and non-keto main course options for guests to choose from. Among the new keto-friendly additions include the Keto Crusted Lamb with Malaysian Ratatouille and Cauliflower Cake, Keto Seafood Egg Crepe Scallion with Avocado Tomato Olive Salsa, Keto Coconut Beef Curry with Cauliflower Rice and many more. Besides selecting their main course of choice, guests will also be able to select their own appetiser, soup as well as desserts. 

Bae and I tried it last week with the following orders:

Set 1 - RM34

Appetiser - Homemade Coleslaw

Soup - Keto Cream Root Vegetable Soup with Beef Bacon

Main Course - Crusted Lamb with Malaysian Ratatouille and Cauliflower Cake

Dessert - Keto Almond Cake and Keto Almond Walnut Crumble

Set 2 - RM35

At Maken Kitchen in DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang, diners can now hand-picked all the ingredients not just the seafood but also wide range of meats and greens to choose from, including beef cuts, lamb chops, Bratwurst sausages, Chinese Cabbage, corn on cob and many more. 

After picking all the ingredients, diners can then head over to the Live Cooking Station to get the chef to cook in few different style such as stir fried, grilled and deep fried. Assorted condiments are available too ranging from Madras Curry Sauce, Tandoori Spice, Masala Style, Percik Style, Spicy Sambal, Sweet and Sour sauce, Chili Crab Sauce, Creamy Herb Sauce and many more. Most of us like the "Kam Heong style" the most. 😍😍😍

Makan Kitchen at DoubleTree Resort offers a wide buffet spread that caters for everyone! Even though I am on Keto diet (high fat low carb), but I can still find many food option here. So yes, I skipped all the rice, spaghetti, or food that coated with thick batter or thick sauce. 

So I started with Seafood on Ice which consists of prawns, snow crab leg and scallop. Prawns and carb contain no carbs while providing vitamins and minerals. Cauliflower is one of the main low carb vegetable so I like to eat how tasty the way the chef deep fried it which I never done it before. Here are the rest of the food I ate, not super clean Keto, but I made sure it is fatty enough! 😁😁😁

Overall, regardless if on a specific diet or not, I think Makan Kitchen provides more than enough to cater to all. I know that now we Malaysian are under the Movement Control Order and buffet probably not available. But trust me when COVID19 is over, you will want to have a big feast and no place would be better than DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Penang!

Pacific West Prosperous 2020

Thanks to the invitation from Sue, bae and I celebrated the Prosperous 2020 with Pacific West at The Prestige Hotel Penang. In collaboration with The Prestige Hotel, Pacific West showcased all their award winning products through a creatively-crafted menu. 

The event started with the introduction of Pacific West management, award winning products, latest products then followed by Lou Sang to celebrate Chinese New Year. After that we got to enjoy all the food in a buffet style. 

The 3 new products, namely, Nori Himalayan Salt Squid Spiral, Panko Coated Squid Strips and Sweet Chili Fish Cocktails. I bet you can hardly tell from the photos below given how creative they carefully curated! 

After the buffet, we had game session where each group are required to decorate their cupcakes! Surprisingly we won with our brilliant creation! 😂😂😂 But still thanks to Pacific West, we enjoyed ourselves and we even got to walk away some prizes as well as a goodie bag to test out their products! 

Okay fast forward after 2 months, I finally got the time to try out the product sample given to us. So far I just tried the Oven Baked Fish. We always like Pacific West Products because of the "Cook from Frozen", since everyone of us are busy and we might forget to take out from fridge to defrost. 

The simple and clear instructions were written at the back of the box as well. Both oven or air fryer are acceptable! So we chose to use air fryer which is super duper convenient! We followed the temperature and time as per instructed and the outcome was amazing like almost similar to the illustration photo of the box! 😂😂😂 

Well stay tuned as we will post the other 3 new products once we tried it out! In the mean time, don't forget to go buy and try it out yourself too! Pssst! Don't say I bojio, from now until 30th April 2020, you stand a chance to win a stylish Vaya Tyffyn with every purchase of Pacific West participating products.

Kampachi Penang After Renovation (2020) @ Hotel Equatorial Penang

At the end of 2019, Kampachi Japanese Restaurant at Hotel Equatorial Penang was closed temporarily for renovation. Kampachi reopened one week ago, so bae and I went to celebrate our anniversary there since both of us are big fan of Japanese food. 

Undoubtedly after the renovation, Kampachi Penang looks a lot more spacious and comfy. The surrounding is brighter too compared to previously. Currently Kampachi only serving the Lunch Menu and the ala cart menu. Meanwhile, buffet will only be available starting February onwards, according to the F&B Team that I talked to over the phone.

Kampachi ala Carte Menu

Kampachi Lunch Menu

Bae and I were quite hungry so we ordered quite a lot for ourselves. For Lunch Menu, all comes in set, which means it would be served together with Salad, Kobachi, Chawan Mushi, Miso Soup, Pickles & Assorted fruits. Bae was craving for Kare Don for some time, so as a loving boyfriend of course I would know what to do! 😁😁😁

Given that they just opened last week, some of the items in the new menu actually is still not available. I was craving for ramen, but unfortunately Shio Ramen isn't available yet during our visit. Which is why we ended up ordered Gyu Yanagawa. So you might want to double check first on the availability of your craving dish.

Japanese Katsu Kare Don - RM45

(Under Kampachi Executive Lunch, Lunch Menu)

Japanese Kare, one of the most popular and widely consumed dish and can be called as the national dish of Japan. The dish is prepared with chef's secret recipe presented with selection of either rice or udon. Served along with tori katsu or also called as chicken katsu and beni shoga (pickled red ginger).

Sushi Moriawase - RM78

(under Sushi/Sashimi Teishoku, Lunch Menu)

7 pieces of Nigiri Sushi and 1 Hosomaki Roll

Matcha Ice Cream complimentary from set

Gyu Yanagawa - RM50

(under Yanagawa Nabe, ala Carte Menu)

Stewed sliced beef with egg sauce

Overall, we love the newly renovated environment. The only thing that we hope that they can improved on is by double-check the order with the customers. I actually wanted to get Sashimi instead of Sushi given that I don't really take rice. So to avoid such miscommunication, I think it is essential for them to repeat back the order with customers. Despite the small incident, we are still looking forward to go back in February for their buffet.
