Aware of the Plastic Bottles

Did you ever aware of the triangle symbols on the bottom of plastic bottles with a number inside?



The triangle symbols with a number is stand for:
1) Polyethylene terephalate (PET)
2) High density polyethylene (HDPE)
3) Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) or Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PPVC)
4) Low density polyethylene LDPE
5) Polypropylene (PP)
6) Polystyrene (PS) or Expandable polystyrene (EPS)
7) Other, including nylon and acrylic

Most of the plastics used are toxic and the chemicals that used to create a plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food or drink.

For your information, the worst ones are 3, 6 and 7. Try to avoid from using any product with these number.

Check out the chart below that breaks down the plastic, its uses and chemical makeup.

Smoky Jack Ribs and Steak House (Cont)

Today, we went to Smoky Jack for lunch again. This time we managed to try the "Smoky BBQ Pork Ribs" and "Grilled Cod Fish". For your information, they only served 10 portion of the Smoky BBQ Pork Rib for daily lunch set.



Today they also have a new look menu, a more classy menu than the previous menu.



Set Lunch A (RM15.80++)


Set Lunch B (RM18.80++)


Set Lunch C (RM23.80++, RM25.80 & RM28.80)


This time we choose to sit by the tunnel side, a totally different environment.


As usual, they served us mushroom soup and bread for set lunch ordered.


Grilled Cod Fish (RM18.80++)
As you can see, the portion of cod fish is quite small. So, never order this if you are starving.


Smoky BBQ Pork Ribs (RM18.80++)
The pork ribs is cooked for 3hours and 20minutes, and I can feel the pork ribs is very soft for the first bite. The pork ribs is fully coated with the taste of the special sauce as well. Just I think it would be much better if they can served it with more sauce.

Harvest In Cafe (Western & Oriental Cuisine)

Every weekend, I have to squeeze my brain hardly to think of new place for dine out. Luckily this week my dad help me lots. He suggested me to go try on "Harvest In Cafe" which located at 10, Irrawaddy Road, 10050, Penang. Harvest In is a western & oriental style cafe.



Those unique clocks on the wall are for sales, so if you interested maybe you can shop for clock as well.

We order set dinner, but I would not recommend you to go for set. As the soup is not so impressed & too salty.

If you like soup, I would recommend you to try on Salsa. The set lunch there is nice too. Of course, the soup & dessert served by Salsa is much better. How about price price? Salsa set lunch price range is RM13.90, RM15.90, RM18.90 & RM 24.90. Harvest In set lunch price range is about RM13.90 ~ RM18.90.
