Humble Review: 高渊 (利) 猪肉粉 Lye Lee Noodle House @ The One, Bayan Lepas, Penang

Clear soup noodles has been one of my favourite food since small. I'm sure our parents would cook or buy us either clear soup noodles or congee whenever we fell sick,that's why you are supposingly not to be strange towards it right? Moreover, we are now heading to the end of the year where rainy season occurs whereas monsoon season at the east side of the peninsula. Hence, cool weather could be expected to experience at slightly lower temperature and this kind of food is absolutely a great option to choose!

 Lye Lee Noodle House is originally from Juru, a district of Seberang Prai, Penang. Upon receiving greater support from customers day by day, they had finally set up a branch at Bayan Baru area in the island. This well-known chinese restaurant continues to get huge responsiveness from the residents here. The main group of patronage goes to customers with families and white-collars.

No fancy design inside the restaurant, all simple tables and chairs.

It is always full house during meal hours, no reservation is required as the flow of patron is high in liquidity. I had my three times of patronage at different hours and I would say peak dinner hour was a little bit disappointing dining experience I've had among all. Know why? Read it till the end.

 As usual, let me present to you the menu

Pork noodle (Clear soup) with a few of varieties to select

Price Range: RM 5 - 6

Add-on: RM 2

Tomyam hardcore fan might consider to try out tomyam noodle soup served here

Or perhaps Spicy & Sour Noodle Soup

Price is as low as RM 8

Add-on are available to make you more satisfied with your meal as well!

What about Claypot Porridge to soothe your tastebuds and also your tummy?

This section is mainly for at least 2 pax and above. Prefer personal one?

There you go to refer the menu as below

 There are seven type of personal porridge served and the highest one they charge at only RM 15, quite reasonable for seafood porridge.

Targetting at most of us do enjoy to be indulged in steamboat, Lye Lee also has similar kind of food to excite your tastebuds!

Fish Head Steamboat sounds very nice!!!

 And there are lotssss of side order/add on to pick.

 Few choices of A la Carte that priced at RM 4 to RM 5

For selection of drinks, I always go for self-prepared drinks like herbal tea or chrysanthemum

Aha, these three on special laminated menu must be a surprise to first time patronage, especially.

I've never tried any of these before but it's not a bad choice to fix your cravings for maybe pork leg rice? Just in case if you miss your previous trip to Thailand, haha!

 Alright, no more menu but food.

Silver Needle Noodle (commonly known as 'bee thai bak')

with minced pork and fish ball (clear soup)

RM 5

  Looks simple but hey, it might be quite warm to consume when you are seeking for some light taste of food or maybe during cool weather.

 Bihun in spicy and sour soup with fried fish
RM 8

This is prone to sourness with just a thin flavour of spiciness you could taste at the end of your sipping on the soup. A few pieces of fried fish act as a bonus to this bowl of noodle, too.

 Bihun with pork and meat balls (clear soup)
RM 6

To be honest, I was very delighted the minutes I saw my order served on the table!
This bowl was superb! Satisfying portion is the main point and the generous amount of vegetables excite me as well! That's how the soup taste simply sweet and nice.

The signature chili sauce that you wouldn't want to miss out.
It is just mild spicy, great to have fishball to dip on some before eating.

However, I was a little bit disappointed on my last patronage on the past August. We were there at peak dinner hour, so it was expected to face some order traffic jam from kitchen, that was certainly fine but we didn't expect the food served on that time were odd in terms of taste, presentation and portion.


I had a total of three times patronage on this restaurant, the food served is various in terms of outlook and taste especially on my last patronage.

Bihun with minced pork and fish ball (clear soup)

RM 5

Omg, the presentation look so much cincai than my previous patronage ( as shown on previous photos on the thread )

 Bihun with pork and meatball (clear soup)
RM 6

Another 'cincai' presentation of food

Both of the two photos as above did not taste as good as previously, the 'mild sweetness' from vegetables is hard to taste from the soup, specifically. Not sure if it was the little mistakes in food preparation made on the day or what, I was kind of awkward actually as I suggested this restaurant to my friend after her working hour...



Last one item to comment,

Fried Fish ( 4 pcs/ RM 3 )

It was quite oily which is not to our own liking, fairly taste anyway.

This is solely my personal review and dining experience that I had, it might be vary from time to time. However, I'm still recommend you to have at least one dining over there because the food is pretty good in overall.

I hope you enjoy reading, thank you.

The Entertainer Malaysia deserve for this gratitude post.

I am pretty sure most of the bloggers wouldn't feel strange towards The Entertainer Malaysia 2016, or even some readers as well, as part of bloggers' giveaway.

This post contains no sponsorship at all. I decided to make it one dedicated to The Entertainer Malaysia as I had by far the best customer service experience with the team.

The story begins with the registration of claiming The Entertainer Malaysia Book Edition Year 2016 held by The Butterfly Project  last month. I was so much honoured to be one of the lucky butterflies ( But I regard myself as caterpillar ) to enjoy all the amazing BUY 1 FREE 1 DEALS from The Entertainer Malaysia.

With all the exciting and anticipating mode, I'd been waiting for the arrival of the book to be on my hands ever since I'd received e-mail notifications from Tammy Lim, the founder/mamasan of The Butterfly Project. Since then, there were gradually more bloggers friends shared online about the arrival of the book on their hands whereas I was still waiting for mine.......

until one day,

(unexpectedly) I'd got a reply from Entertainer Malaysia (@entertainermy) on Instagram:

Without hesitation, I had a direct message with The Entertainer Malaysia on Instagram and the conversation went on like this:

All this happened on weekend hence the following Monday, as early as 8 in the morning, I received a call from Miss Rio Ribaya from The Entertainer Malaysia. They had checked out with the courier service and found out that the courier service there had actually get lost with the book (wth how could it be seriously?)

While tracking with the book and The Entertainer Malaysia would not want me to wait any longer, hence, they decided to have me enjoy the BUY 1 FREE 1 DEALS on the app instead!( worth RM 145 as well) Omg, I am a lucky girl!!!

Late in the evening, on the same day, I was given a key code via email to instantly access to
 The Entertainer Malaysia App 2016 in order to enjoy the privilege. What makes me feel ever warmer towards them is that they don't forget about the book and that literally means that I still have The Entertainer Malaysia 2016 voucher book to be owned, I'm very blessed over it, honestly.

I'm yet to receive the book but it's okay because somehow a few touches on mobile is way easier and more convenient in redemption. Scrolling through the featured deals on the app is like discovering a lot of restaurants, leisure spots, beauty saloon and more...which some of them I never knew about before it! 

Shall I expose to you some amazing deals that featured on The Entertainer Malaysia?

How I remove makeup on my hypoallergenic/sensitive skin

So, I think it would be better to have you watch a video to calm you before I show you those horrible pictures of acne nightmare. It is a simply guide on how I usually remove make up on my face since I mentioned earlier that I do put on some make up occasionally.

I hope you enjoy watching and get to learn some non-professional tips from me

and

stay tuned for those horrible photos! lol wth

The product used as shown in the video is my personal pick with no any collaborations with the brand at all. Results may vary from everyone but I would say it is quite suitable for those whose skins are allergic to alcohol.

Why I never shared beauty topic?

Hi all my readers!
As stated from the title of this post, I am sure some of you would be curious and even popped out such similar question on your visits to my blog.
And I even had a feedback from my supportive friend asking me why my blog mainly consists on humble review series on food and itinerary sharing as he is not interested on food hunting actually LOL

Tell me,who do not like to stay beautiful and look good right? Even the men nowadays are also particular in maintaining their image and outlook too!

Sadly, things are not always going through as we wish.
Alright, to be honest, the main reason why I never published beauty-related posts on my blog before is due to my skin problem.

I'm not just literally hypoallergenic or normally called 'sensitive skin' patient as you would think of. Plus, hormone imbalance occurs throughout these yearssssss (no joke, it's since puberty)

The last serious breakout I suffered was earlier this year where my life was like totally dull and I had to wear on medical face mask whenever I was out from home or hostel. I wore it to lecture class daily and even to Bangkok (no choice, I couldn't afford to burn the flight ticket).
I was even asked to take down the face mask by the immigration officer at the airport, oh no, I nearly shed tears at the public place!

I cried a lot a lot whenever I was alone and also on everytime I applied the treatment cream on my face, what I viewed from the mirror was simply scary.

I am diagnosed to have a slight symptoms of rosacea, a skin disease that normally the patient's skin looks rosy and blush on either cheeks, nose area or chin area. This is a common disease in western countries where the fair skin people own the higher probability to be diagnosed. Hence, my cheeks would sometimes look blush or rosy or worse, super serious rosy that would scare anyone.
That is why I really don't like to see people simply claim themselves to have sensitive skin. Hey, please have a proper consultation with the doctor and go for some treatment whereby my condition is that there is no permanent solution to cure it.

Majority of the rosacea patients are allergic to alcohol, heat, spiciness, fragrance and more. So, I'm super particular in putting the cream on my face, checking ingredients on the label is my first task to do. I even ask doctor a lot of questions and look thoroughly on the skin care he prescribe for me. I might sound fussy to you, but I couldn't afford and don't want to get things goes wrong on my face anymore.

Suffering from skin problems simply means less or even zero make up. Thus, I don't practise that, but I'm still a lady after all, I do, occasionally put on simple make up, nothing more than eyeliner and eyebrow, that's all. Face part? No way.

My current skin condition is already stable ( at least no ultimate serious breakout), just that staying away from heat and avoid spicy food are my all time responsibility in order to have my cheeks calm and soothed. My current skin care routine are all prescribed from doctor and to be frank, I just want to take good care on my food intake and daily activities for the sake of leaving my face healthy.

More posts regarding this will be up, stay tuned.

PS: Dare to see some ugly picture of it? HAHA

#PPAP

Please don't give me a face palm over the innocent trend of this toxifying song, haha!

I was, at first, doubted and even puzzled at the song, the lyric does not make sense though.

However, a great imitating performing continues after the release of the song from Piko Taro, a senior Japanese artist. His face expression is simply cool, I can't even imitate so much close to his, to be honest.

Alright, I'm in the train to make a cover of this song, too.

Being barefaced and pyjamas on, it's going to a hostel-look version of #PPAP.

I hope you enjoy watching it, thank you!
