  • Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    More and more franchise is coming to Penang, just like recently the Burger King at Lebuh Sungai Pinang and now Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt which is very common here in Kuala Lumpur is now in Penang, opening its first outlet at Island Plaza.

    Although I am now residing in Kuala Lumpur, but I didn’t really bother to visit it only when I was back to Penang last week, I brought my girlfriend, Hueisean to Tutti Frutti at Island Plaza to try out the yogurt after our movie at the new W Cinemax.

    This is something pretty cool. It’s actually self-serviced cold yogurt of different flavours. You pick your favourite flavours, bit by bit, add in some topping like nuts, cereals, chocolate and candy then the price is according to the weight. Not cheap IMO. Mine was like RM12.30 with 3 yogurt, Apple, Strawberry and Vanilla.

    Perhaps this is more healthy, but somehow I prefer gelato ice cream more. =D

  • Famous Pitt St. Koay Teow Th’ng at Carnavon Street

    Famous Pitt St. Koay Teow Th’ng at Carnavon Street

    The famous Koay Teow Th’ng originally from Pitt Street is now at Carnavon Street. Actually it had been quite some times already but I am sharing with unknowns and this Koay Teow Th’ng place is where I often go there for brunch. Dad loves it here, so do I and mom.

    Do you know Carnavon Street has various calling in local Penang Hokkien dialect? Some called it lam chan na (I have no idea what’s that means), some called kua cha keh 棺材街 (Coffin Street because there’s shops selling casket/coffin at there last time).

    The koay teow th’ng shop is very easy to find because they have a big signboard outside with a big photo of the koay teow th’ng. So no worry of being lost.

    The aunty there is the one who operate the stall and cook the koay teow th’ng. She’s a very friendly person.

    I like the fish ball, it’s nice. There’s duck meat and also pork. The big slices of meat are pork, chopped. Kinda special and they koay teow submerged under the soup. Very nice.

    Besides just ordering koay teow, we ordered only just the meat in the soup as extra one and eat for fun. Yummy. Koay teow although is similar to Ipoh’s Hor Fun, but the feeling and texture is definitely different. Personally like koay teow more.

  • Hokkien Mee For Dinner At Pulau Tikus Market

    Hokkien Mee For Dinner At Pulau Tikus Market

    IMG_0535 by nicholaschan

    Didn’t feel like eating rice and wanted to eat some hawker food so I went to Pulau Tikus Market hawker stalls to scope for some hawker food. Same again, 6 weeks I never go to hawker stall already but my parents did buy me hawker food during Sunday visit for National Service (PLKN).

    At first I was thinking to eat Wan Tan Mee, but somehow this big Hokkien Mee signboard on the stall caught my attention and I was thinking “Hmm. When does a Hokkien Mee stall appear here?” Because there wasn’t a Hokkien Mee stall there and it was far far away at the end of the market. Could this be a new one?

    I can’t resist myself to order a bowl to try it. I ordered instant noodle typed, there’s egg, little bit of vegetable, a little bit of meat and very tiny prawn. My verdict is, not good enough. Somehow, I still like the one at Lebuh Presgrave. I’ll show you guys next time. =)

    People usually buy these so-called economy char bee hoon in the morning, mostly at the market, it’s as cheap as RM1 or perhaps lesser. Recently, dad found a place where sell it at night. It’s at the junction of Lebuh Tye Sin (四条路 a.k.a. 4th Road) and Jalan C.Y. Choy. Actually it’s there for quite a long time already and we just found it out.

    There’s only a few table at there, we waited a while for seat at there on the night, a few days ago. It was our supper.

    IMG_6488 by nicholaschan.

    Very small plate, it’s hot and it’s nice! =)

    IMG_6485 by nicholaschan.

    The little stall also have red bean soup as dessert. I don’t know how to taste it out whether it’s good or not, they’re like the same to me, sweet.

    Wan Tan Mee at Jalan Sekolah La Salle

    This is a guest post by GenYong.

    Hello guys, is me again GenYong here! When you drive through the Air Itam road from Chung Ling High School to town, I am sure you will pass by Shang Wu Primary School. Outside of the school there are some hawker stalls serving their dishes in afternoon. Have you try it before?

    Wan Tan Mee

    I tried the Wan Tan Mee at there before. It is cheap but tasty! The plate of Wan Tan Mee is quite big and really taste good for me. Usually people crowded when tea time and lunch time too. I am not sure about is there selling at night.

    Wan Tan Mee

    The price for one plate of Wan Tan Mee is quite reasonable and there are many ingredients inside the plate of Wan Tan Mee. So if you got drop by there you can go and take a try. Besides Wan Tan Mee, there are also some hawker food served, take your choice! Location is outside Shang Wu Primary School which next to Heong Giam Si Temple.

  • Chicken Chop at Penang INTI College’s Bigbites Cafeteria

    Chicken Chop at Penang INTI College’s Bigbites Cafeteria

    IMG_7048 by nicholaschan

    Went to listen a talk today at INTI International College far away at Bukit Jambul today to know more about my future studies. I was hungry and straight go check their canteen/cafeteria out. The college was small and the canteen too. There’s only one stall and it’s called Bigbites. Saw Chicken Chop from the menu and was craving for it and ordered one for lunch.

    It’s RM6.50. It’s super simple, chicken chop and fries. The chicken was really crispy and few sauce to choose from as topping, there’s black pepper sauce, mushroom sauce and oriental sauce. I chose the black pepper sauce. Overall, it’s crispy but not healthy, very oily and no salad like other western food. =)

  • Night Char Koay Teow at Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 Gat Lebuh Presgrave

    Night Char Koay Teow at Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 Gat Lebuh Presgrave

    IMG_3669 by nicholaschan

    Last time I introduced before the Fried Rice at Lebuh Presgrave or more known as Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 to the locals. Last night, I went there for supper and I ordered the Char Koay Teow from the same stall that does the nice fried rice.

    The char koay teow quite delicious which I likey it. Just a bit sad that there’s only 2 not very big shrimp and a little bit spicy. If the shrimp gets bigger like at Lorong Selamat, and juicy, then it will be very very good.

  • Ah Hai’s Big Bowl Koay Teow Thng at Lebuh Kimberley

    Ah Hai’s Big Bowl Koay Teow Thng at Lebuh Kimberley

    IMG_2349 by you.

    This was my first time eating the koay teow thng at Lebuh Kimberley a few days night ago. Dad says the stall at the corner of junction of Lebuh Kimberley and Lebuh Chulia existed there a long time ago. It sounds famous so we went to try it out.

    It’s called Ah Hai’s Instant Cooked Kaoy Teow Thng. I got to know about this name from the little signboard at the corner of the five foot path.

    IMG_2354 by you.

    IMG_2356 by you.

    It’s not duck meat like at 7 Road but it’s pork. There’s also tur kua (pig’s liver) in it which I dislike it a lot. I did actually ask for extra ingredient but I didn’t know that it’s so many. It’s a big bowl of koay teow thng and I felt so full after eating everything. Not to mention the extra fish ball soup that dad’s ordered.

    The soup is clearer than the one at 7 Road but I prefer duck meat more. This is not a bad one too but the fish ball lose out a little bit comparing to the one at Armenian Street.

    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. =)
