G-Force Movie

Went to watch the G-Force last weekend. I quite like it although I felt the story line not really very meaningful and attractive but I felt the animation of the movie are good and each of the character very cutie. Each of their character have their expertise….Hmmm….slightly same as G.I.Joe I feel. Anyway, I satisfy with this movie, maybe you can plan to watch it if you like animation type of movie.

Movie : G-Force

Time : ~1 hour 30 minutes
Release Date : 17 September 2009
Synopsis : Producer Jerry Bruckheimer brings his first 3D film to the big screen with 'G-FORCE,' a comedy adventure about the latest evolution of a covert government program to train animals to work in espionage. Armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment, these highly trained guinea pigs discover that the fate of the world is in their paws.
Movies about secret agents have been on screen long before James Bond, and movies in which animals speak and have personalities have also been with us for quite some time. What we've never seen, however, is a movie about secret agents who also happen to be animals? what's more in a combination of live action, animation and Digital 3D.

Go to official G-Force site for more detail.

Annabelle's Place @ Tanjung Bungah

Attracted by Ck’s blog so I also went to try it out last weekend with few of my lovely friends. Heheh…luckily Shiong know the way to reach there if not, not sure I will easily reach there just base on the map that provided by CK? Anyhow, as suggested is nice to have hi tea there so we reached there around 4pm. Was so surprised that there are quite a lot of peoples there but they are almost done with the meal. Maybe lunch time will be more customers.

Overall, I felt the food and dessert was just normal but the environment was nice. The decoration of shop make so cozy and such a relaxing place when having meal there and is good environment for chit chat but will be perfect if add on some soft music. Hahah….(this is our own opinion).

Annabelle's Place located at Lembah Permai 4, Tanjung Bungah
I like these 2 toy, feel like an sweetly old couple just stand at side to welcome all the visitor

Interior design -- the decoration of the cafe are nice and feel warm when you enjoy your meal there

Tea come with the Windsor Tea for 2

Mix Fruit Coktail -- Hmmm...feel like just a normal grape juice. For this, I prefer winter warmest one..heheh

Chocochino -- Among 3 type of drink, this is te best. The cookies are very nice when mix with 'bubble' on top =)

Windsor Tea for Two –RM37.5
I felt this was slightly expensive as the cake and sandwich was just normal. Initiate I thought was RM17.9, but unfortunately I wrongly read the menu as RM17.9 was the hi tea for 1 =(

Ocean Treasures (RM16.90) - Baked crab in creamy mushroom sauce. Served with fresh garden salad and hash brown. The baked crab I felt just normal but the hash brown was nice as very crispy. I like it...

Crème Brulee (RM9.90) - When u take a spoon and hit on the crème Brulee, got some cracking sound…hahaha…feel so nice. However, It is indeed very nice but why they didn’t burn the top in front of us? Maybe need to request before confirm our order for this

Song River Bak Kut Teh @ Gurney Drive

Song River café that located at Gurney drive was my mum’s favorite restaurant for Sunday breakfast. Sunday is my family day so I will having my breakfast with parents and sometime really can’t think of a good place at town area for breakfast then my mum will suggest Song River at Gurney Drive. Hmmm…of course I like there too so usually I have no objection with the suggestion. Hehehe… Sometime, my friends from outstation, this is one of my favorite café for their b/fast too.

Actually Song River famous of the Bak Kut Teh but I never try it as my mum don’t like the “White” Bak Kut Teh. She said the clear soup of Bak Kut Teh doesn’t looks nice and not attractive enough. Btw, she likes Claypot Fish head Bee Hoon Soup the most. Usually, we ordered fish head that without fried so able to feel the fish head was very fresh and sweet. Besides, we have some default dishes when we visit there. Hmm…all yummy yummy =P

You can either ordered according the dishes that you preferred or ordered a set dinner base on their menu. We had ordered set dinner and changed some dishes from the set. The set dinner we ordered cost RM 268 which included 7 dishes and drink all you can. I think the price was consider quite ok for me and overall the food was quite nice too and can consider satisfy. Heheh..Maybe you can have a try during lunch time or your dinner.

Wah...a lot of peoples there when we arrived around 7pm
Starter Peanut -- This was excluded from our set dinner, RM1.50 per plate

Birthday Lam Mee taste not bad but is nicer if you eat with the sambal
Spring Roll & Prawn Roll -- If not mistaken, this dish is one of their famous dish. Between 2 type of roll I prefer prawn roll, very nice...

Special Long Chinese Cruller (特长油条王）

Do you know there is yummy Chinese Cruller or Fried Bread Stick and also known as You Tiao that located at Paya Terubong, Penang? Actually I knew this special you tiao from one of my forward mail but I don’t know the exact location until my sis bring me go that day. Heheheh…Finally I able to try it =)

If not mistaken, the business hour should be 1pm -6pm. So, we reached there around 3pm, just nice right? Actually you can either take away or having there. As we are first time been there, so we enjoyed the yummy yummy You Tiao over there. Firstly, I doubt on the taste as there was not much customer but after that just notice that, a lot of peoples are just drive through and take away the you tiao. The exact location is just at the roadside, opposite the 1997 kopitiam so actually is quite convenient to “ta pao” there.

Overall the cruller was simply crunchy and delicious but I think is good to taken when it is fresh to make sure the crispiness. At present, there are only two types of crullers available there which is the Extra Long Cruller and the Black & White Sesame Twin (similar like Horse Shoe Shaped Sweetened Crullers) but the extra long cruller can be stuffed with various type of favor like Meat Floss and Mayonnaise, sausage, tuna and kaya, butter and etc. You can actually choose your own combination base on your taste. Impress right??

Special Long “You Tiao” located at Paya Terubong, opposite kopitiam 1997

   You Tiao? Im the longest…heheh

Crunchy golden brown, deep fried “You Tiao” was around 14” long

 Black & White Sesame Twin (3 For RM2)

 Cruller with Tuna Mayonnaise (rm2.50). I feel this favor was just so so as I feel I can’t really taste the tuna but more on the cabbages, onions and carrots

 Stuffed cruller with Meat Floss (rm2.50). I like this favor the most. Very nice the combination and was crunchy. Yummy yummy….

  Cruller with Sausage and Mayonnaise (rm2.50). Hmmm….this favor not bad. The combination sausage with mayonnaise and chili source was just nice. I think kids will like it much

 Soya Bean was available there (rm1.00). After ate with the crunchy cruller, feel just nice with the soya bean. Hehhe…
