Chinese Mee Rebus And Maria’s Wan Tan Mee, Burma Road

Mee Rebus is actually a kind of Indian dishes. in fact some called it Indian noodle. The name, Chinese Mee Rebus is because this is made by a Chinese aunty instead of Indian. Yesterday night, I went to a kopitiam right beside New World Park to had my dinner. There’s only two stall of hawker food, one is the Chinese Mee Rebus and another is the Maria’s Wan Tan Mee.

I and my family ordered food from both stalls to try out the food. Besides having Mee Rebus, they do have fried rice too!

Here’s the fried version of mee rebus (RM4). There’s another version which is the wet one with gravy. The fried and dry version is good. Somehow, I feel the Indian version is better. Haha. But mom say this one is cleaner in the point of the way it’s served and prepared. Anyway, still a good eat.

Then I ordered the Maria’s Wan Tan Mee. Maria is actually the stall name. Haha. And I felt this is OKOK only, the noodle is just not springy enough, but the best part is that it’s RM2.80 only. =)

Lunch At Kopitan Restaurant, Logan Heritage, Beach Street

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice Chinese Food At Teksen Restaurant, Penang

Teksen, Teik Seng or Tek Seng Restaurant at Carnavon Street (Lebuh Carnvaon), I believe they have got good local Chinese food! It’s because that I am the restaurant visitor for the past 10 years. That’s right, I went there to eat since when I was really young where it was on the other outlet. It is now located in a nice shop houses, nicely decorated too!

To me, instead of calling Teksen Restaurant, I prefer to call it Teochew Lang (People of Teochew) as the boss who is also the chef is a Teochew people.

During the recently visit, I brought my camera along and so I snapped some shots to share with you a few dishes of our little lunch. It was a Friday afternoon and I was craving for Teochew Lang’s food, then I went there with my parents.

Looking at the interiors, it’s a semi-open restaurant with a blends of heritage and modern design. The steel tables and chairs bring back the memories to the olden times. It was about 1pm and you can see many people was having their meal there, in fact the restaurant was full with no empty tables.

I guess we took the last table right outside the restaurant. Although the weather was pretty hot that day, we still sit outside because the food was so tempting.

We ordered 3 dishes and a soup. Simple dishes yet delicious. The Chinese steam egg with century and salted egg is our all time favourite.

Here comes the soup which I don’t really know how to call in English, but in the Hokkien dialect, it’s Sok Tei Thng or in Mandarin is Shu Di Tang (熟地汤). It’s Chinese soup cook with pork and Chinese Foxglove. Very healthy and yummy.

We ordered a kangkung fried balachan too for our vegetable dishes. Pretty good with 3 big prawns in it, not very spicy, just nice and it’s good to eat.

No idea what is this right? It’s actually fried roasted pork. It’s the best dish to me in here. It’s roasted pork fried with garlic, black soy sauce and some chili and it tasted sweet. I can have two bowl of rice with just dish. Yum yum.

Sin Wah Penang Char Koay Teow, Pulau Tikus

Penang is so famous for Char Koay Teow and it’s a must eat when you come visit in Penang or if you are a Penangite, you must like it. Haha. There’s too many nice char koay teow in Penang and one of which I know and like is in Pulau Tikus market, at the hawker stall area which sells only at night.

The stall name is called the Sin Wah Char Koay Teow and I got to tell you that the owner got a little bit cocky. He will always tell you, ” You need to wait 30 minutes, want to wait or not?” Haha. But I don’t mind waiting because it usually served in about 15 minutes.

There’s 3 big prawns in the koay teow, nicely fried with salted duck egg and lard. The fragrance, the taste and the texture are real good. It may not be the best, I don’t know how to say it’s the best, yet it’s nice. The best part, it’s only RM4.50 which is cheaper than the RM8 at Lorong Selamat.

Tomyam Mee At Xiang Xia Fish Head Beehoon, Weld Quay

The sun was going down on a Saturday evening and my parents brought me to Weld Quay for a dinner. Cruising along the seaside at Weld Quay was nice as it brings us to a friendlier part of Penang with all walks of life. The golden sun was setting and it’s an quiet and yet to be noisy Saturday evening.

We came to this 乡下鱼头米粉 which translated is Xiang Xia Fish Head Bee Hoon (rice noodle). As stated in their name, the famous dish is the fish head bee hoon, but there’s another famous dish and that is the tomyam noodle which I was craving for and I like.

I have never been to this place before but I heard many good comment about it and how spicy the tomyam noodle is. I ordered a bowl which is less spicy and no doubt, it’s really delicious, especially eating with fried fish fillet and maggi noodle. Just one thing, the maggi noodle was too little. Anyway, it’s still yummy.

Kimchi Fried Rice At B Station, Taylor’s University

More and more restaurants are popping up at Taylor’s University commercial area, the Syopz @ Boardwalk. Korean, Chinese, Japanese and recently an Italian restaurant, I wonder what’s next. Few days ago, I went to the Korean restaurant, B-Station to have my dinner.

Looking over the menu, I felt like eating kimchi and so I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice (RM9,90) with added minced beef (RM2.00).

It comes with the kimchi vegetables, a soup and of course, the rice with a sunny egg.

Well as for the taste, I got to say I like it because I can taste the kimchi taste in the rice and can feel the little kimchi among the rice. The minced beef added some meat biting experience in the mouth, making it even better.

Unfortunately, the soup was not that nice, it’s a korean soup but served warm, not hot enough. Pricing wise, I think it should be less than RM10 instead of adding RM2 for the beef meat.

From what I have known, this restaurant is operate by real Korean and the chef is also a Korean. You guys can check out the place as it has nice interior.

Padang Brown Food Court

One of the nice place to have some local hawker food for lunch and tea is the Padang Brown Food Court, which located at Padang Brown, in line with Perak Road. Padang which literally means field, which on the other hand, Padang Brown means Brown’s Field.

There’s actually 3 food courts on Padang Brown, one houses under the official food court built for hawker, another 2 are not really official. It’s quite easy to spot this food court as it’s inline with Perak Road and also by the junction of Perak Road and Anson Road. There’s a monument in the middle of the food court too.

This food court only opens in the afternoon and offer a variety of local hawker food for you to try out like Char Koay Teow, Lok Lok, Asam Laksa and more.

People usually finds lok-lok at night time but at here you can find it in the afternoon. Lok-lok is actually raw food on stick, which you need to dip them in super hot boiling water and cook your own food. Then you eat it with different sauces. You can get as cheap as RM0.50 per stick.

I wasn’t that obsessed with char koay teow back then. All of this craving and obsession for char koay teow comes after I went to study at Kuala Lumpur and I had so much char koay teow during this holiday in my hometown, Penang.

I ordered myself a plate of char koay teow (RM3.00) at the food court and the redness looks spicy and yes it is, somehow it’s still good even it’s spicy. Although, it might not be the best, it’s still so much better than char koay teow in Kuala Lumpur and other places. You can always request for less spicyness. The only thing was it’s not dry enough.

Despite all the hotness, a glass of coconut juice was chilling at the food court and it’s a must try. =)

Maryland Fried Rice and Roti Hawaii at Murni Discovery, Aman Suria

The mamak look so not mamak. It’s so modern and it’s 2 levels.

After I come to KL to study, I always hear people talking about SS2 Murni, delicious, mamak and stuff. I was curious then, I thought it’s a mamak like Penang’s Abu which makes me excited because currently I am craving for Abu’s maggi goreng ayam. So one fine night, I went to check out Murni, I went to Aman Suria’s outlet instead because SS2’s was closed for renovation few months back. Thanks to Google Maps, I found the place. =D

It’s pretty excited to see there’s so many people and tables and chairs on the road were also full of people.

After checking out the menu, I felt it’s so unlike Abu, instead they have super huge variety of food, from Malay to Western to Chinese food. It’s fusionized and all halal of course. Surprised to see that the waiter who takes order uses a PDA to take order, really very high tech.

They have a wide variety of beverages too. I ordered a medium Ribena Special, which is Ribena in ice blended with nata de coco and longan. So icy chilling cool. =D

Then here’s my food. I ordered a Nasi Goreng Maryland. It’s fusion of malay fried rice and western food. There’s the fried rice, a sunny egg, french fries, prawn crackers and deep fried chicken maryland. Really big portion and please eat it when you are very hungry. RM15 for this thing. The fried rice is OK but the chicken maryland was good.

Then my girlfriend ordered a Roti Hawaii which is one of the special food in Murni. Murni is quite famous for these roti this and that stuff like roti beckham, roti jepun, roti salad and more. It’s different from normal roti canai as they stuffed the roti canai with many ingrediet like the Roti Hawaii, it has sausage, minced meat and egg. RM5.50 for this. Quite special. You should try this.

I have been to Murni for quite some times and already feel a bit bored yet I think it’s the best mamak place to me at the moment until I find a new one, though I still like Abu in Penang more for the maggi goreng. Can’t find a good maggi goreng in Klang Valley, any recommendation?

By they way, Murni have a Facebook page.

Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup for Supper

Satay Celup is the lok-lok of Malacca! How can you not eat Satay Celup when visit to Malacca? Haha. Basically Satay Celup is actually raw food on stick, then to be dipped into a kind of peanut satay sauce to cook the food. It’s like lok-lok which you cook your own stick food, just not dipping into boiling water. At this moment, I only find this Satay Celup in Malacca, and not anywhere else.

The one I visited when I was in Malacca was Ban Lee Siang. One of the two famous one, another is the Capitol which always has a long queue in front of the shop. Since Ban Lee Siang is near to where I stayed, so we went there on foot from Jonker Walk.

The price for per stick is RM0.60 flat rate but when you see it’s so cheap, you tend to take more and then turn out many money. And the food on stick is kinda little, so you need more to fill the stomach.

I actually pretty full after having my street food hunting on Jonker Walk so I didn’t eat much, just want to try the Satay Celup feel. Everything was fun, I like the way of dipping food into the peanut sauce, but then it lack of my favourite, si hum cockles. Haha. If there’s cockles, then it will be damn awesome. Hopefully there’s Satay Celup around Penang or KL, with cheap price of course. =D

Sotong Bakar, Bing Tang Hu Lao, Potato Roll in Jonker Walk, Malacca

As you know, I went to Malacca few weeks back, to look for some nice Malacca food and to check out the historical site. One of the famous attraction in Malacca is Jonker Walk, the famous night market on the weekend.

First up I want to talk about something I DISLIKE at the Jonker Walk which is the Sotong Bakar because it’s cost freaking RM10!!! The person somemore told me it’s freshly BBQ and it’s crispy but somehow it’s not crispy at all and it’s hard to bite. At first she said shi in Mandarin I thought is RM4, but actually she was saying 10. I have a little bit not satisfied with the price so I just pay and try, but somehow it’s just nothing special. No wonder so little people visit the stall. Don’t try it. It’s expensive!

There also have taiwanese sausage but so-so only when compare to the one in Kuala Lumpur.

Nice to see that there’s Bing Tang Hu Lao, a Chinese-style candy sold at there. It’s fruit dip into to sweet and it’s hardened. Not bad.

The best street food that I found on the Jonker Walk is this potato springy roll. It’s actually came from a piece of potato and then slowly sliced into this shaped then deep fried into crisp condition. Then topped with sauce like mayonaise, chili sauce or powder, cheese and more. It’s just simply delicious. I can’t find it in Penang nor Kuala Lumpur’s night market yet.

Well, if were to check the variety of street food in Jonker Walk, then unfortunately I have to say there’s not awesomely much, but the number of food still can fill up your stomach. There’s hawker stall at one end too. =)
