Chef Julia - Restaurant Max Gourmet Sdn. Bhd.

Hi friends, Chef Julia is here again to introduce a restaurant to you. The place was discover by JoZe's Aunt. We had been there twice. The restaurant located just outside Queensbay Mall along the shop houses. The restaurant was named Max Gourmet.Sorry for the blurry pic. JoZe taking using her ciplak (lousy) camera phone.. Please bear with it as more blurry picture coming up cos she don't have a compact camera now. The previous one belong to her sister, her sister had took it with her to Kayell. But her ciplak camera phone sometimes work fine... like the picture of the Mean Machines's post, was oso taken using her ciplak camera phone. Oh my! I am starting to sound like JoZe... too much crap here.. Let's go back to Max Gourmet.

The restaurant served asian food. First let me introduce the chef recommendation food:This dish is Golden bun with curry chicken. The bun was very delicious, it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And when dipped into the curry it was perfect. The curry chicken was not bad oso. JoZe loves this dish very much cos she is a fan of curry chicken. She never failed to order this when she went there.

Next is a dessert: Mango Pancake

The white filling is a whipped cream and mango pieces. If you like whipped cream you will like this dessert. For JoZe and her aunt they would prefer if the whipped cream was ice cream.

Next are the recommended dish from me:Crispy Noodle with BBQ Pork. The crispyy noodle is very delicious. If you don't like BBQ pork you can order with Roast Chicken, Pork or Duck.

Next, would be the Lo Mai Kai. Sorry no pic for this dish... It look jus like any Lo Mai Kai you can get at any Tea House but the taste is very good. It can make you crave for it.

Max Gourment oso served Dim Sum and pastries:

Deep fried Prawn with pastry
Vietnameese Style Spring Roll

Other dishes we had taste include:Curry Paste Fish Fillet Baked RiceHiong Ha Lo Fried Rice


Roasted Pork and Duck

Chef Julia - JoZe's favourite "thong sui"

"Thong sui" means chinese dessert or syrup in english. These two "thong sui" are JoZe's favourite:Sweet wheat broth or better known as " Gandum" in hokkien. The ingredients are: wheat pearls, water, pandan leave, sugar or palm sugar, coconut milk and salt. She didn't cook this herself la... she is not that hardworking... she ate this somewhere in Mt Erskine

As for this one the black glutinous rice broth with coconut milk or better known as "bee koh moi" in hokkien. She bought this one from the Jelutong Market at night. The stall sells different type "thong sui". Unfortunately JoZe say this "bee koh moi" was not good enough ...she commented it was too watery ...she like it thick..

Do you like "thong sui"? What "thong sui do you like? I personally like those with coconut milk..

Chef Julia - Dumpling ( Bak Chang)

Hola! It's me Chef Julia again......... I know... I know the dumpling's festival is over.

She told me she was just doing a favor for Dave cos Dave misses "bak chang" and ask her to took a photo of the "bak chang" she had and mail it to him.

This "bak chang" was made by her hubby's mum. Jus a normal "bak chang" with dried shrimps, chestnut., lean pork, mushrooms and salted egg yolk. I asked her how does its taste...she sure say yummy la.........( she wanna polish her future MIL's shoes ma) akakakaka.........

Chef Julia - Flaky Pastries

Hello avbody, long time no see. Have been missing for sometimes to boycott JoZe's Crap because she went to Batu Kawan Seafood without me.... And she only bought 3 packets of pastry for me... Very thoughtful of her....she ate seafood and i eat this.... Anyway i had forgive her for the sake of the 3 packets of pastries.... What pastries she bought for me?It's Hieow Pia ( flaky pastry with brown sugar) and Beh Teh Saw ( flaky pastry with sesame seeds molasses). The filling for Hieow Pia is brown sugar whereas the filling for Beh Teh Saw is sugar and sesame seeds. Joze told me this flaky pastries she bought from Batu Kawan is much tastier than the one in Penang. And she is right! This one is much crunchy and fragrant. I like it very much but of course i still like "Tau Sar Pheanh" ;)

My rating for these pastries:

************************************

JoZe told me her hubby met with an accident today. It happen after lunch when he send her back to home. Luckily it was jus some minor injury.... but JoZe was a bit angry cos her hubby didn't told her about it till she called him in the evening... Her hubby was afraid that JoZe will get worry... JoZe told me this is one of the reason she forbid her hubby to work in butterworth. She say he would have better opportunity and salary in butterworth but it is not safe as her hubby loves to speed.......
