Tropical Spice Garden at Penang
Last Saturday I attended the company team-building at Penang Tropical Spice Garden located between Batu Ferringhi and Teluk Pahang. Is good experience there as currently most of us are stay at town and seldom touch with the nature. The tropical Spice Garden shows us over 500 species of local and foreign flora from Malaysia and around the world. The environment there are nice too as currently a lot of bride and groom choose there as their pre-wedding photos’ location.
Actually the team-building not organize by our own but we looks for the company that professionally doing team-building for the company. They charged as RM80 per person. The package included the entrance fees, breakfast/lunch, guided tour and facilitators. They did offered us few choices for the game and finally we choose for Spice Cook-out activity which start with
1. guided tour that brief us about the garden and let us understand more about the spices and
herds there
2. Assign the group and create own group logo
3. Treasure hunt – hunt for the spices base on the clues that given by them
4. Cooking – this is the most fun parts. Cooks base on the recipe that given by them.
Overall, I like the games as at least something special from what usually we are doing.

Demax Restaurant at D'piazza Mall Penang
Demax Restaurant newly open I think around Dec'09 located at D'piazza. As we know that currently quite a lot of new restaurant opened at D'piazza so we just simply choose base on our luck to go in for our dinner. Finally we choose Demax Restaurant. Actually had been there more than month ago but now only sharing the food here. U know why? Just simple. I think I will not recommend this restaurant to my friends as I can't feel any satisfaction after had my dinner there and this restaurant will not listed in my food list when I am thinking for my lunch or dinner in future.
We visit there around 7.30pm. Just sit down and we saw one of the customer feel very angry and ask their family member walk out from the restaurant and the boss walk out fast and request them to sit back and the foods been served immediately. From this I have bad feeling that they serve quite slow but I still decide to continue having my dinner there as I saw not much customer left.
They served quite variety of foods like HK style noodle, fried rice, Western Food, special Ala-cart and etc but when we order, all our choice are finish. Haih....so we just choose whatever that still left and some more when I ordered a cup of warm water, the boss told me that their restaurant was not served plain water but they can specially make for me and charged RM 0.60 per cup. I was thinking just a cup of plain water, why need to be so special and feel expensive for that. Overall, I not very happy to have my dinner there as the food served very slow and the food not really suit my taste.

Soba Yoshi at Krystal Point Penang
Soba Yoshi (also known as Hanyoshi) is a Japanese Restaurant located at Krystal Point, Penang. I had my lunch with my ex-colleagues there I think 3 days before the Christmas Eve. Actually we planned to have our gathering at 香香 restaurant before going to our holiday but unfortunately it closed on Tuesday so we just simply choose one restaurant to go in. As I heard quite good comments for Soba Yoshi so we just go in without any worry. However, in term of foods and services were just average for me but peoples keep coming in while we are eating, maybe the foods just not suit my taste. Hehehe...
We did ask if there any promotion? But the waitress told us that the promotion only applicable for Privilege Card holder. We don't know what card that she mean so just forget it and continue our meal. Now only I aware that the Privilege Card can be apply through here. You may check it out if you plan to visit Soba Yoshi. Anyway the card not only discount for Soba Yoshi but still have some other restaurant. If not mistaken there is annual fees charge for the card.
I always go for GreenTea at Japanese Restaurant 
Hot Tower were provided before our meal
Quite variety of food available at Soba Yoshi like Bento Set, Menrui Set, Donburi, Teppanyaki Set, Sushi and etc

Tao Cuisine -- Japanese Buffet at Juru Autocity Penang
Christmas lunch at Tao Authentic Asian Cuisine located at Autocity. Quite busy during year end so drag until now only post the lunch during Christmas. Hahah…even already past the New Year. Actually I been TAO at E-gate for few time but this was my first time visit TAO at Juru Autocity. They start the buffet on 11.30 am but unfortunately I only able to reach there on 12.30 pm as I go after my work so I had missed out to take quite a lot of foods photos..sigh...
Currently Penang have 2 branches of TAO Japanese Cuisine which located at E-gate, Penang Island while another located at Juru Autocity. In term of decoration and space, Auto-City branch is much more larger and the environment is nicer too as there was well decorated if compare with branch that located at E-gate. TAO served for Japanese buffet style but the buffet concept slightly different from the normal buffet style. You can order whatever you want from the menu provided on the tables. Customers can order any items from the variety menu and repeat order was allowed without any limits to fill up your satisfaction. The most wonderful parts at TAO is the food will be serve directly from waiters/waitress to your tables instead of lining up to wait and choose your foods.
Overall I feel is quite nice for the foods and services.
You can find out more from the official wedsite here
Christmas Lunch at Tao Autocity cost rm50++ for each. For those that can eat much I feel will be quite worthy with this price
The environment very nice if compare with Tao at E-gate.
Variety of yummy foods at Tao...you can order whatever from here with no limited as long as you able to finish all the foods that ordered by you, if not you will be charge for the food wastage
Christmas Special -- there is Christmas special dish that only available during Christmas. Just a normal sushi with something like chicken cordon blue
Salmon Papaya -- Sweet papaya wrapped with smoked salmon. The combination make the taste great. You should try out this...
Motoyaki Scallops -- Grilled scallops with a spicy and creamy sauce. I like this too as the sauce taste very nice. We ordered for second plate =)
Wasabi Sary Abalone -- I like this so muchie. This is my favorite choice for the meal. The QQ-texture abalone slice was fresh enough and with the mayo sauce make the overall feel great. Yummy....Besides, my another favorite Crab Meat with Cheese which I missed out to take the photos. It looks like "wanton" with hot and creamy cheese fillings. We ordered for few time for these 2 items. Must try out...
Sashimi -- I not really like this as I not prefer raw foods
Nemo -- Is good that don't order too much of sushi if you are served with the buffet style as will be full very fast
3 cup squid -- this is one of their signature item
Grilled Lamb Shoulder
Fish Ball Soup
Shark's Fin Soup
