  • Breakfast At Kampung Broga

    Breakfast At Kampung Broga

    Breakfast At Kampung Broga – After the awesome, healthy and fun hike at Broga Hill, the stomach gets very hungry because I did not eat anything before the hike. Luckily there’s a small Chinese village nearby – Kampung Broga where you can find a hearty breakfast at one of the kopitiam there. It’s just 5 minutes drive, and the village is very very small. Well, you can say you reaches Negeri Sembilan at here, because the little village cut through the border of Selangor state and Negeri Sembilan state. No matter which state it is, food and refreshing drinks were more important at that time!
    Introduced by a friend Zee Yin that she read on blogs that this little kopitiam serve good Cham Peng (mix of Kopi & Tea with ice) and so it’s our place for breakfast. Surprised that there’s no one in this little coffee shop and we shouted ‘Hello, anyone here?’ for several time, yet no one were there. Only after 10 minutes, someone walked toward us from the next door. It’s the owner, chilling at some other place as I guess they expect no people. Haha. Well, indeed true that throughout the morning, it’s only us! There’s one group of people walked in, but walked out just after that; very zho siao (playful) of them.
    Very cute and unsual cut for Cham Peng. Very homy.
    Well, you actually can find a variety of food in this little kopitiam that you see no food stalls. They serve steam bread, half boiled egg, wan tan mee, chicken feet mushroom mee, fried rice and more! Food actually served from the shop next door, but they shops are so friend that they serve here and there. Wan Tan Mee was my breakfast, noodle was springy, char siu was sweet, but wan tan were no where to be good. For only RM3.50, that’s where the taste goes to at this little town that not many people aware of. After all, the Cham Peng complimented my breakfast after a tiring and exciting hike.
    Place for breakfast after hiking? This is it. Friendly owner, simple local food, and nice Cham Peng.

  • Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines – Went to The Mines Shopping Mall last weekend to check out the coolest book fair in Malaysia with cheapest book but then I didn’t know what’s good to eat at there. Checked the information map and didn’t find anything interesting also and ended up in this cool name – ‘Yum! Kopi’ Restaurant.

    Shop front of ‘Yum! Kopi’.

    ‘Yum’ means drink in Cantonese. =D It’s just another Old Town/Papparich-style restaurant, well since our main thing at there was not to eat so we didn’t mind a lot.

    Nasi Lemak. I like the sambal and the curry chicken is pretty spicy.
    Mushroom Chicken Nissin Noodle which I find it nice although it’s just instant noodle. Hahaha.

    Hahahahaha. Nothing much to comment, the Nissin noodle taste better than the nasi lemak, but the nasi lemak is not bad after all, better than Old Town in my opinion. So if you are looking for cheap bites at The Mines Shopping Mall, you may check out this one.

  • New Breakfast Place At Church Street With Toast & Egg

    New Breakfast Place At Church Street With Toast & Egg – Besides Toh Soon Cafe, I have recently found another breakfast place in George Town, Penang and that’s at Eng Loh Coffee Shop, Church Streeet. This little coffee shop located under the classic and still running Eng Loh Hotel. It’s a kopitiam serving a few hawker food like Koay Teow Thng, Wan Tan Mee, fried bee hoon as well as a variety of toast bread.

    I always wanted to look for good breakfast but I kinda hard to wake up early in the morning. While I was still in Penang few weeks back, I got up early to check out the sunset with Hueisean dear, then after that we headed to Church Street for this breakfast.

    I saw people who was eating the Wan Tan Mee and I was so tempted to order one too, but ended with toast and western breakfast set. Haha. In the in-house coffee shop menu, you will see a variety of toast for you to choose, it’s hard to try them all, the best is get a lot of people then order all of them. =D It’s pretty interesting.

    I ordered a normal butter toast with half boiled egg. But with kaya paste, it will be better.

    Western breakfast set, not nice in my opinion.

    Anyway, I will come back again for other stuff, it’s a good place for morning breakfast in George Town. Price is OK-nice too.

  • Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza

    Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza – This Hokkien Prawn Mee is quite famous among Penangite as it’s often known for waiting long to be served and also sold out very early by 9am +++. Super Hokkien Mee is the name of the store, it’s just a gimmick telling you that it’s ‘SUPER’. Haha.

    Located behind of Penang Plaza in a coffee shop called One Corner Cafe on Jalan Bawasah, Super Hokkien Mee started selling early in the morning for breakfast. I went there few days ago with my friends to check out how good it was. We ordered at 8.30am and were told that we have to wait until 9am. That’s fine for us.

    Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza

    Pricing was surprisingly higher at RM4.50 per bowl, just like KL-price. You know, you still can find RM2.50/bowl of Hokkien Prawn Noodle at Cecil Street Market. How about the taste? The soup does indeed taste sweeter with a strong aroma of prawn, probably cooked with lots of prawn shell. Tiny prawn slices can be seen in the soup and unfortunately, boiled egg was not present in the soup.

    Overall, it tastes good, but somehow might lazy to wait and wake up early for it again. XD Will try another one that sells out early at Pulau Tikus soon.

  • Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor)

    Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor)

    Teochew Porridge Lunch At Lebuh Presgrave (Sa Tiao Lor) – When we talk about Teochew Porridge, it’s actually white waterish porridge with a few small dishes that to be eat with the porridge. This is the Teochew-style. Cantonese-style is porridge that has taste and cook with pork or chicken.

    Many people like Teochew Porridge because it’s refreshing, it’s affordable and you can pick a variety of dishes. It’s just like eating mixed/economy rice, just that you don’t eat with rice but with white porridge.

    At Presgrave Street (Lebuh Presgrave), also known as Sa Tiao Lor to the local, there’s a kopitiam that has a Teochew Porridge stall that operates throughout noon to the afternoon. I went to try out last week and it’s pretty good. There’s a variety of dishes for you to choose like salted egg, mui choi, fried fish, omelet, vegetable and more. What I like is the porridge which is watery and the rice is soft.

    Check out the map for the location. It’s located in a coffee shop at the corner of Presgrave Street. At night, the coffee shop sells Hokkien Mee and Char Koay Teow.

  • Chawan, Bangsar

    Chawan, Bangsar

    One fine Sunday night, I and my friends were searching for food at Bangsar area. We are all Penang people and do not familiar with the area. The area was rather quiet. Our mind is all about Chinese-style kopitiam, but somehow I couldn’t find any at Bangsar area. I parked the car at Bangsar Village Mall and decided to go tour around the place to look for cheap and good food. Unfortunately, none, and lastly we went to another Old Town-style restaurant, the Chawan.

    One thing, do you know that the word “Chawan” actually means tea bowl? It’s a kind of bowl use for preparing and drinking Japanese tea. In Malaysia, Chawan means cup, but the spelling is Cawan.

    Looking through the menu, the first impression wasn’t very pleasing because the menu was not in a good condition. Like I said, it’s another Old Town-style, so don’t be surprise to see the food choice similar. HOWEVER, Chawan is more centered on Malay cuisine, with a quite a number of Nasi Briyani, Nasi Lemak and more.

    I read on Foursquare that the Kopi Frappe is a must order. So what it’s actually about is the mix of two different coffee. Like Ipoh White Coffee mix with Hainan Coffee. There’s many kind of coffee for you to choose on the menu.

    I order Nasi Tomato Beef Rendang Tok RM10.90. I know you are now wondering what Tok is all about, beef rendang is curry beef cook in rendang style but what about beef rendang Tok? I also don’t know, it’s just appear that the beef is in dark brown color and doesn’t taste any spicy which is just not an good experience for my mouth. I was expecting something spicy with good spices. This disappoint me, and one thing, it tasted like a rock. It’s so hard to chew with my strong teeth.

    On the other hand, Nasi Tomato Beef Rendang (RM10.90), without the word Tok tasted good. The spices fill my mouth and the spicyness exploded right in my mouth, gusting down towards my stomach and I felt awesome. It’s not super spicy, yet it brought me an all new experience after eating the beef rendang tok.

    The Nasi Lemak Ayam Rendang (RM10.90) was up to my expectation. The lemak rice, sambal, curry chicken rendang, ikan billis, half boiled egg, cucumber slice and a little bit of kang kung, serves on a piece of banana leaf which made the presentation beautiful. In my opinion, it’s so much better than Old Town’s. The curry sauce was actually same as the beef rendang, but using chicken instead. What’s best about this is the sambal gravy which makes the dish perfect. First taste of it tasted normal, 2nd taste of it makes you eat more, 3rd taste makes you feel hot, and yes it’s spicy and good.

    Lastly, a glass of sky juice completed my meal and I find it awesome because it’s the cheapest drinks among the menu at only RM0.50. =D

  • Lunch At Kopitan Restaurant, Logan Heritage, Beach Street

    Lunch At Kopitan Restaurant, Logan Heritage, Beach Street

    P1070020

    Do you know about the Logan Heritage on Beach Street? It’s a new refurbished and restoration of old heritage building, turning into F&B outlet, shops and offices. There’s another one next to it is the Whiteway’s Arcade.

    P1070026

    Today’s lunch was at Kopitan Restaurant and I went there with mom. It’s super easy to find as it’s located on Beach Street (Lebuh Pantai), right opposite of RBS bank and Standard Chartered bank. Every time I passed by the place, I saw the name Kapitan, but when getting closer for a look, the name is actually KOPITAN, it’s KOPI, not KAPI, which everyone always mistaken for it. Haha.

    P1070027

    First up, mom ordered a Mixed Fruit Salad (RM4.80) and it’s kinda cool. Basically it’s a bowl of mixed fruit, like apple, orange, mini tomato and raisin. Then it’s mixed with the thousand island salad sauce, become a healthy appetizer.

    P1070030

    Mom ordered a light meal for her. It’s a Pineapple Cheese Toast (RM6.50). One thing I’ve forgotten to mention is that their menu are something like those Old Town style, but somehow the price is cheaper and have different style of toast. I can feel the little pineapple cutlet and the cheese. It melts onto the toast. The best part is that the bread is very soft and good.

    P1070029

    Here’s my lunch at Kopitan Restaurant which is a Kam Heong Chicken Chop Rice (RM8.90). It looks pretty good and taste good too. Just ignore the soup as it’s just normal soup that’s nothing special. The crispy chicken chop poured with Kam Heong sauce which tasted sweet and spicy. Love the onion and love the sauce and chicken! Somehow if there’s more sauce to be eat with the rice, then it will be better.

  • Puchong Fatt Kee Chinese Mixed Rice

    Puchong Fatt Kee Chinese Mixed Rice

    The place I am living right now is so close to Puchong but then I don’t always go there to eat in fact, I don’t because I am selfish and I don’t want to pay for the toll RM1.60 for the LDP highway. Haha. It’s so close if to and fro will be RM3.20 already. Last Thursday, I accidentally went to a wrong way and end up passing the toll after school. I don’t want to waste my toll paid although it’s just little so I went to have lunch at Puchong. Haha.

    My friend, Zhi Sheng who is a local here introduced me to this Fatt Kee Mixed Rice cafe, somewhere just right opposite Tesco Puchong. Last time, this kind of mixed rice, people call it economy rice because it was cheap, later then they changed the name from economy rice to mixed rice because it’s not cheap now. I look at the number of dish and surprise to see that there’s more than 20 dishes and it’s pretty interesting.

    I took bitterguard, pork, petai and another kind of pork and salted vegetable and guess how much it cost? RM5. It’s confirm cheaper than here in my campus which would probably be RM6-7 already.

  • Lor Duck Rice at Maga Kopitiam for Dinner

    Lor Duck Rice at Maga Kopitiam for Dinner

    Lor Duck is actually teowchew inspired braised duck. I went to have dinner at Maga Kopitiam at Jalan Perak there just now and I ordered a plate of lor duck rice.

    DSC04102 by nicholaschan

    DSC04103 by nicholaschan

    For RM3.50, I got a plate of lor duck and a plate of rice. I couldn’t say the duck was awesome, it’s good but not awesome. The duck was braised with the lor sauce, then there’s garlic and green onion. Eating the duck meat with the chili sauce was good. The set was not complete because there’s no vegetable. =)
