Wah Meng, Air Itam
Mention Air Itam in Penang and all I can think of is asam laksa. But I soon discovered there is more to air itam when I had breakfast at Wah Meng coffeeshop. This coffeeshop houses a few stalls selling koay chap, nasi kandar, roti canai, porridge, char kuay teow and curry mee, among others. I [...]

Tong Tong Chiang
As a kid, Chinese New Year was a festival I enjoyed because I got to collect ang pau and eat all the cookies I want without getting an earful from mum. I also got away with trouble when I ‘bombed’ granny’s neighbour’s drain with my self-assembled firecracker. Worse part it, I did that before the [...]

Sunday Roast at The Ritz-Carlton
“Malaysians love to eat.” Okay, that’s an understatement. “Malaysians live to eat” sounds more like it. Which explains why many hotels have buffet to cater to the high demand. That said, not all buffets are worth trying as most go for quantity rather than quality. The Sunday Roast at The...

Updates
I actually wanted to blog about more Penang food today but decided not to. So today’s post is going to be a random compilation of things that happened. It was Eiling’s birthday and I met up with her for dinner with a few friends in Pavilion. I came straight from work and my mode of [...]

Restoran Zi Zai at Paya Terubong, Penang
Zi Zai Restaurant in Paya Terubong is known for its Poon Choi and tai chow (big fry) dishes. While I have yet to try the Poon Choi, I was told it was quite good and reasonably priced. That evening, I was introduced to Hock Chai, the owner of Zi Zai Restaurant and he dished out [...]

Ah Leng Char Kuay Teow
I used to think Ah Leng Char Kuay Teow only operates in the afternoon, but Ken said they also open at night. Just in a different location. The night stall is located in Air Itam and manned by Ah Leng himself. You can opt to have a normal plate of char kuay teow for RM6, [...]

Hameed Pata Mee Goreng
Hameed Pata Mee Goreng in Padang Kota Lama is said to serve one of the best mee goreng in Penang. Located in a food court next to Fort Cornwallis, I paid this place a visit just before heading back to Kuala Lumpur. If you’re there during peak hours, be prepared to wait. Like Bangkok Lane [...]

Chee Cheong Fun, Macalister Lane
I don’t know about you, but I find Penang food portions quite tiny. A small bowl is never enough. rif and I have been patronising another chee cheong fun stall in Pulau Tikus for more than 4 years, but after trying this chee cheong fun, we realised we’ve been missing out. This humble pushcart has [...]

Air Itam Curry Mee
The curry mee from Air Itam market is very sought after by the locals, and the stall is manned by two elderly sisters. There is no signboard, so you will need to look out for the two sisters crouched on a tiny wooden stool, surrounded by pots of noodles, curry and condiments. You can choose [...]

Busaba, Bangsar Shopping Centre
I often believe food brings people together. There will always be dishes that remind us of our childhood, meals with friends and places we’ve been to. While some might disagree, I feel food (or lack of) leaves a huge impact in our lives. I know that food affects my mood very much. A good meal [...]

Loh Bak @ Kheng Pin Cafe, Penang
Loh Bak is one of the must-try items when you’re in Penang. While the island boasts a good number of stalls serving this popular treat, one of the popular places to have your Loh Bak is Kheng Pin cafe along Penang Road. I was told the uncle has been frying loh bak for almost 40 [...]

Chinese New Year at Five Senses, The Westin
My grandmother used to say Chinese New Year is a second chance at making our New Year’s resolution. But I’ve been so hopeless at sticking to them, even second chances don’t work for me. I always made a promise to my parents that I would eat less, but with set menus such as the Abundance [...]

Bangkok Lane Mee Goreng
Penang-ites rave about Bangkok Lane Mee Goreng to me all the time. It is so popular that people flock this stall at Seng Lee Coffee Shop for their dose of this mee goreng. What’s so good about this plate of fried noodles? Is it really the best mee goreng one can find in Penang? Bangkok [...]

Kuay Teow Th’ng at Kedai Makanan Kim Lee
I’m not a big fan of kuay teow th’ng because the soup is often bland – I like my food to be packed with flavour. Like porridge, I often refer to kuay teow soup as food for the sick because that’s what I eat when I’m not well. But the kuay teow th’ng at Kim [...]

Penang Coconut Jelly
Coconut jelly is widely available in Klang Valley, but the most talked about coconut jelly is from Joez Coconut in Penang. The star product is none other than the coconut jelly, made from pasteurized fresh young coconut juice. Each spoonful was smooth, wobbly and great as a thirst quencher. Coconut water is...

Oh Chien, Kedai Kopi Seng Thor
Oh Chien varies from different states in Malaysia. In Sitiawan, the oyster omelette is fried till the egg batter is golden brown, crispy and fluffy, and eaten with Kampung Koh chilli sauce. In Malacca, Penang and Muar, the oh chien is moist with crisp edges. But each slightly different from the other. I...

Yau Char Kwai, Cintra Street Penang
Good yau char kwai is becoming more and more difficult to find these days. A family friend introduced me to this yau char kwai (fried cruller) shop along Cintra Street in Penang last year. Its been around for more than 30 years, and until today, theres no signboard for this shop. I bought a...

Nasi Kandar Beratur, Penang
In business since 1943, the famous Nasi Kandar Beratur got its name from the long queue of people outside the shop. I almost didnt want to beratur (line up) because Im generally quite impatient. Good thing the queue moved fairly quick and I got to the front of the line after 45 minutes. Like...

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet) @ Lebuh Tamil, Penang
Penang is known for its cendol and ais kacang but I recently learnt about Ais Tingkap, a rose coloured drink with coconut flesh and basil seeds (biji selasih). The Ais Tingkap stall is located in Tamil Street, beside Chowrasta Market. While it may look like a simple drink, preparation involves a number of...

Transfer Road Roti Canai
The roti canai at Transfer Road in Penang has been around for a long time and is often packed during weekends and public holidays. It is best to get there before 11am or there might be no curry left for you. To be honest, the roti canai isn’t great. I found it rather doughy, despite [...]
