Eastern Wishes Cafe @ i-Avenue

Every Sunday is my family day, this is the day when my sister's small family will dine together with us. Not quite sure when was it already but it was the day my little niece had a performance at night time, thus my sister suggest to have lunch nearby their house instead of going to Georgetown so that her daughter can rest well and prepare for the night. Therefore, we came to Eastern Wishes Cafe, located at i-Avenue, Sg Nibong of Penang island. 

Eastern Wishes Cafe is a fusion restaurant that serves both Nanyang and Thai style cuisine. I am not quite sure how Nanyang style should be like, I guess it is something similar with Nyonya style? Spicy, sour and taste so strong.

This restaurant is located same row with the JPJ office, very easy to be found~

It is a simple home-cooked style restaurant, offering variety of Nanyang and Thai cuisine, they do the delivery service as well!

Interior environment of the restaurant

The menu, looks not quite good but actually got many Holiao (good stuff) inside

While waiting for our food after we made the order, I like to snapshot my little niece, at this time I am not sure why she was being whiny and did not want to look at my camera, because she used to love posing always. 

 

Haha, this one is cute, snaped unexpectedly when she was annoyed!

 

Another niece, she dislike to take picture but I persuaded her successfully 

Special Black Pepper Crispy Squid - RM15

A little bit different from the usual squid we had, this is so crispy until the texture is like prawn with shell, the black pepper sauce is also not quite similar with the ordinary one, this one is a little bit more like the sweet soya sauce, not that spicy and pungent as the usual black pepper sauce. I love this one!

Various Beans in Sambal - RM8

Oh this one is nice, so flavorful and it has all my favorite beans out there, especially the stink bean petai!

Hakka Namju Pork - RM15

This is also very nice, the meat has fully absorbed the yummy Namju (red fermented beancurd) until the meat is so juicy and luscious. It gains extra bonus for the deeply fried crispy out skin!

Seaweed soup - RM7

This is quite a small bowl but the fillings are great, fulled with lotsa fish balls, seaweed, veggie, fish cakes and eggs!

Fried Brinjal - RM10

I am not so loving with the eggplant, due to its strange texture. But this plate is okay to me, because the eggplant is not that weirdly soft as I thought.

Lemon Steam Red Snapper - RM35

I have to admit this one is great because I love salty-sour food so much, not very like the ordinary Teochew steam, but it is much sourer and flavorous.

Belacan Chicken Wing - RM9

This is an all-time-favorite, who doesn't love it? The chicken wings are fried until crispy outside, yet inside is still juicy and soft, and don't be doubtful, even its bone has the aroma of belacan! Can you imagine how great they marinated the chicken wing until the bone has the flavor?

Dessert time! ABC - RM4.20

This is nothing can be complained, the ice-cream is my favorite vanilla flavor, while the red beans and Atap seed are so soft~

 

Chendol - RM2.80

For me this is just so so and nothing's special, may be I just dislike Chendol and I think it just tastes like the outside ordinary hawker stall Chendol

As we had finished our lunch, and this little girl was finally willing to let me have a proper shot of her
