7 village restaurant @ raja uda

this place has been around for quite a while and its situated in raja uda on the mainland.
though the restaurant has been here for years already i'm not sure why elpea never took me here to eat before. well, better late than never, right?
7 village noodle house specialises in...welll... noodles, what else. :-)
we were there for lunch and ordered the house speciality, noodles both dry and soupy.
everyone else here was eating either one of these.
the dry la mian, $6
i found this quite nice. the serving was huge.
the koay teow noodle soup, $3
not for me as i'm not really a fan.
elpea commented that it was only so-so.
both her and #1 did not finish theirs.
the lohbak, $1.5 per pc and the kwan jiang, $0.8 per pc
the lohbak was a tad too soft for me and the kwan jiang was not what i'm used to.
also, when we arrived, we were not given any menu.
seriously...
apparently, they dont have menu's and as its actually on the wall.
the lady was spouting off the menu like a rocket by hard.
i actually wanted to order more appetizers but i had no idea what to order until much much later when i saw the menu on the wall. by then, i didnt bother. their loss not mine.


anyway, back to the food...
the dry lamian noodles serving like i said was huge with meat slices, fish balls, a literal fistful of minced meat and topped with a runny half boiled egg.
the dry la mian itself was excellent, with very good springy texture but the egg made it super rich.
i actually tried the lamian without mixing in the egg and i found that it taste better.
but again, thats just my personal preferences.


overall, 6/10 but only for the dry lamian.

birthday dinner @ penang chinese swimming club

firstly, this is one of the most strategic places to eat if you hv kids and if you need to hv rice with dishes. plus carpark + breezy + place for kids to run + fast service. i could not ask for more. we've come here a lot for our "family get-together" over the years and everyone likes the food here. i'm sure there are other places around tg bungah but i'm too lazy to explore. anyway, the management and chef has changed but it looks like the menu didn't change much. we started off with birthday mee.
and how can you hv a birthday without "birthday noodles"right?
choon phiah.. super huge
tomyam lohbak
stir fried veggies
the steamed fish
the pai kut wong, de-boned pork ribs
the whole shebang..
overall, it was a good meal. it could have been better . though i must say this is the 1st time that we've finished everything that we ordered.
