Had another impromptu trip to Penang, it is a 1-night-stay, work till the wee hours of the morning, fly back to KL the next day. While waiting for my flight, pondering what to eat. McD? Coffee Bean? Kenny Rogers? Craving for some chicken, some rice, comfort food to be exact. so Kenny it is.

Had the quarter chicken with 3 side dishes RM16.90

Choice of side dishes: i chose mash potato, rice and crisp garden salad.

my choice of banana muffin, complimentary ice water.

The mash potato taste funny, mainly cos of the gravy, it is not the usual dark gravy, instead taste cornish with traces of corn… Yuck… nonetheless i down it all as i love potatoes any style.

Kenny Rogers, country singer, founder of Kenny Rogers Roaster (along side with former government of Kentucky John Brown) opened its first restaurant in Florida 1991, touting motto “Less falt… less salt… less calories”

Last Sunday, went to this food exhibition – Epicure Malaysia 2008 in Sime Darby Convention Centre in Bukit Kiara. There are food sampling(wine, cheese, chocolate etc) and workshops(self grooming, culinary class etc)

The exhibition hall is not big, lot of wine sampling but didn’t take them. We finished browsing all the stalls in one hour, looking at the leaflet, decide to go to a workshop – Continental cuisine by Chef Oliver Lopez (from Genting’s Olive restaurant). Dish for the day is mushroom risotto. Three type of mushrooms used: Shitake, Trumpet and Chanterelle. The bottle hold by chef is truffle oil, more than RM100 for this bottle.
