Morganfield's at Queensbay Mall, Penang.

It was actually a last minute plan to have our lunch here BUT I was really excited about it cause I've been longing to try their ribs! And now that they have opened a new branch at Queensbay there's no need for a 45 mins trip to Paragon, how convenient for me :D

It used to be Station One and somehow I'm quite glad that Morganfield's took over the place lol
As you can see on their signboard *Home of Sticky Bones*, how can you not try out their sticky bones aka ribs!

My mom ordered Smokin' Duck Salad for herself. 
(Smoked duck on a bed of mixed salad, cucumber, tomatoes, sesame seeds, spring oninos, red chillies, hard-boiled egg and century egg served with soy vinaigrette).
The smoked duck was so delicious that it tastes like bacon! The sauce given tastes like vinegar which matches well with the salad, even a anti-vege eater like me took a few bite of it.

Oh did I mention we went with one of mum's friend? Now that I have, he ordered Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs which comes with coleslaw and fries. He likes how he can easily tear the meat off the bones! I didn't have the chance to have a taste of it cause.. well it's kind of awkward for me lol but mom did try a small piece of it and she said it was OK for her and it was not as good as my ribs (which will be introduced very soon)!

Smoked Peppercorn Spare Ribs which comes with vege and mashed potatoes.
By far the nicest ribs I've ever tried! (umm this is my first time having ribs lol)
I don't really like the potatoes here cause it's too dry for me and almost tasteless, Chilli's is still the best for me. But I DO love the ribs alot! People who like spicy or black pepper must definitely have this! As I said the meat can be easily separated from the bones and I can taste the spiciness of black pepper in every bite. The sauce used in marinating the bones is very appetizing until I couldn't stop licking my fingers (yes I eat with my hand)

Now here are some goods and bads of the branch in QB:
-They have washroom in the restaurant, which is very convenient for people who eat with their hands.
-They have wifi service and television which shows Tom & Jerry just now.

-Air con is too cold, I almost shiver when I came out from the washroom.
-Some service crew are not efficient, mom's friend asked for a refill and the drink hasn't arrive for around 10 mins, I think they need to hire more staff based on the size of the restaurant.

Spade's Burger at Pekaka Square, Penang. (Moved to I-Avenue)

As I said in my previous post on Spade's Burger (check it out HERE) that I'm going to try out their mushroom burger and here I am! Going to skip through the location, intro part as you can already find it in my previous post. Remember to read it OK!
This is what I had for my dinner : Shroomception
Deep fried whole portabella, cheddar cheese, shiitake and enoki mushrooms.
To be frank it did not reach my expectation as I think the portabella could be crispier because the other mushrooms are already very soft, a crispy feeling is able to add flavour to the mouth and to show differentiation. And it is quite salty for me cause I think they use oyster sauce in it. 

In overall I still prefer their beef burger as I'm more of a meat type of person and much love for their home made sauce!

Spade's Burger at Pekaka Square, Penang. (Moved to I-Avenue)

So few days ago my friends and I have finally finished our drama shooting, thank you all for the hard work you guys are great :) and by the time we finished our shooting it's quite late already and we arrived at Spade's Burger around 10pm (they close at 11), despite the time the staffs are still willing to serve us with enthusiasm even when we were the last customers! Good service guaranteed *thumbs up*

Most of the Penangites will be familiar with the venue which is at Pekaka Square/ Maxim Dim Sum,
well if you don't you can obtain the address at the end of the post.

>>>MENU<<<
check out their menu aight!

The spades card you get once you've placed your order.

Our order! The one at the bottom is mine (with fries & drink)
I remember the last time we ate is around 3 something so most of us were really huuungry (at least I was)

My Spade's Knight with beef patty, cheddar cheese, caramelised onions and bacon!
It was delish! The patty is soft and the combination tastes great together! Love the onions even though I don't really fancy onions (was having doubt before ordering), the only problem is that the bacon is not enough :(

Friend's High Piglet (Pork patty + cheddar cheese)
In his opinion, the patty is juicy, not overcooked and does not fall off easily so it's actually quite compact, can definitely satisfy your mouth and tummy!

Another friend of mine's Lollipork, she loveeesss it! It's basically a pork patty with the orangish sauce which I will talk about it later on and BBQ sauce I suppose? I took a bite of it and it's very JUICY! Even juicier than the previous pork burger I've mentioned just now, I think the charcoal bun has already absorbed the precious juice hee. 
This is suitable for kids or people who don't eat much due to its portion and appearance but definitely cannot satisfy my tummy's need.

One does not simply eat their fries without dip. And this! Is their home made sauce which made me couldn't stop delivering fries into my mouth. Unlike the sauce at My Burgerlab which has a hint of spiciness, this sauce here has a hint of sourness, I think something like tartar sauce is in it, overall it was appetizing, one is not enough!

Lastly, a group photo by Spade's Burger! Thanks for the delicious burgers and great services! Would want to visit Spade's again for their mushroom burgers!
