Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

(BM) Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow – Bukit Mertajam is famous for duck egg char koay teow, yes or no? That’s what my girlfriend told me. George Town also has duck egg char koay teow, just frying with duck egg is top-up request, where as in Bukit Mertajam, you only get a choice of egg and that’s duck egg. Duck egg makes your char koay teow taste better.

There’s one good one in Bukit Mertajam that used to locate on the roadside of Jalan Kulim has now moved to a new place, also on Jalan Kulim, but to be exact, is at Kampung Baru, in a coffee shop.

I was having hard time looking for it because there’s not much people posted it on the Internet or Facebook. My girlfriend asked around her friends and finally we found the place.

At RM4.50 a plate with a deep fried egg omelete. It’s good in the sense of different with others that I’d in George Town. The koay teow is darker because of different soy sauce used and best of all, lots of lards (not healthy though)! The deep fried egg omelette is compliment to the koay teow and it’s a must add-on when you order a plate of this. If the koay teow can be dryer than it will be best.

Opens only at night, after 8pm.

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.

Lunch @ Midland Kitchen, Campbell Street

Lunch @ Midland Kitchen, Campbell Street – Life back in Penang Island is really awesome, food exploration is never ending and eating is the main culture here. Penang is truely a food heaven. I just love spending time at my hometown, air is fresher, life is more relaxing and healthier here.

Recently, I went to check out a new Chinese restaurant in the core of George Town @ Campbell Street – Midland Kitchen. If you know about the Midland Restaurant at Midland Park, then you might get some idea of the food serves. It’s opened by the same person who operated Midland Restaurant.

Located in one of the eclectic styles colonial-style shophouse on Campbell Street, it blends a fusion design in the interiors. The setting is more towards a modern contemporary design, providing a new dining experience in town. What’s special is that this shophouse has 3 levels.

Each floor provide different dining style, the first floor is more towards intimacy dining and there’s a mini bar and the 2nd floor is a private group dining area. It’s pretty cool. Decoration is a bit simple, but the use of furniture makes it cool.

Now food time! Well, I don’t really know how to describe food but I’ll just make a it short and sweet about the dishes that we have orderd for lunch. First up, Minced Meat Toufu – mild-salty, soft and smooth toufu, taste good.

Fuyong Omelet was just nice only, not too good compare the one I had before in KL.

Lor Han Vegetarian Dish – not my type dish. My said it was good.

The last dish was not really a good one – Steamed Chicken With Chinese Wine, it’s not good because the chicken was too hard, not tender enough.

Anyway, will try some other dishes next time on my next visit. It’s not really awesome, but I’ll give it another opportunity. =D. As for Chinese restaurant, I prefer Tek Sen Restaurant, that’s really suit my taste bud.

Goose Lays Egg At Taylor’s University & Tortoise By The Lake

Goose Lays Egg At Taylor’s University & Tortoise By The Lake – Found some cool animal at the school’s lake today, I see many big size tortoise, swimming by the shore. This reminds me about rearing a tortoise when I was small. I wonder who put in the tortoise into the lake of Taylor’s. I bet they swim and eat LIKE A BOSS at there since people often throw food into the lake.

It’s gonna grow even bigger soon!

Another super cool and funny thing I found today is that the goose at the lake laid an egg! I wonder who it mate with. HAHA. OK, that’s not the point. We saw the goose sitting on her egg, waiting it to be hatched. So cool right? But the thing is…. the goose was not sitting on her egg, she’s sitting on a tennis ball!

Instead, we found the real egg at the other bushes. I was thinking, was the goose forgotten about her egg’s location, or someone was trying to trick the goose. Really special and funny. She had been sitting there for a few days, according to my friend. Hmmm.

Hong Kei (Hong Ji) Zhu Char At Tanjung Bungah Food Court

Hong Kei (Hong Ji 鸿记) Zhu Char At Tanjung Bungah Food Court – One of my favourite Chinese zhu char (煮炒／dai chao大炒) in Penang is Hong Kei at Tanjung Bungah. Last time it’s located on Jalan Lembah Permai, but then it has moved last December. We thought the stall has closed down, only later we found out that it had actually moved to the Tanjung Bungah Food Court which is opposite of The Cove Supercondominium.

Hong Kei’s famous dishes are curry fish head, vinegar pork, kelabu toufu, belacha fried chicken and more. Last Sunday, I went to the new Hong Kei for dinner, the last time I went was like half year ago when it was still at the old place. The boss is a very friendly lady who can chit chat a lot with you. Let’s check out what I had that day.

This is the food court, which has the nice Chicken Cordon Bleu too.

Curry Fish Head with lots of ladies finger and onion.

Fried Onion Omelet. The egg is very spongy.

Fried Kangkung which is ok-ok to me only, not enough garlic IMO.

Deep fried pork with nam yu. It tasted salty and crispy!

The dinner costs us RM40 only for four of us.

Tea Spa Corner At Cherok Tokun Hill, Bukit Mertajam

Tea Corner At Tokun Hill, Bukit Mertajam – Enjoying a cup of Chinese tea, biting a yummylicious herbal egg and eating a bowl of Chinese noodle in the forest, listening to the chirping of birds and the melody of insects, it’s just so relaxing. But then, you have to ignore the annoying mosquitoes.

In Bukit Mertajam, there’s a forest reserved + park + hiking trail and that’s Cherok Tokun Hill. It’s a famous spot for the local to do some hiking and at there you can spot a little hut that houses the Tea Spa which serves a little snack food and tea.

I did not go to hiking, but I went to check out the Tea Spa on a lovely afternoon as I was craving for herbal egg char ye dan. Actually I was just thinking on eating the herbal egg, but then since Hueisean and me were there already, might as well order another bowl of Chinese noodle with pork.

The herbal eggs were good and the herbal taste did actually presence in the egg itself. As for the noodle, it’s not my type of noodle, a little bit of spiciness does taste better, somehow, I do not fancy the noodle. The noodle is more like a thick beehoon, if you know what I mean.

Well, it’s a good place to sit in the afternoon, sip some Chinese tea, have a little chat with your friends in the nature. It’s nice to getaway from the polluted city.

I’ve forgotten what cartoon character is this! Anyone can enlighten me? According to the boss, this is to scare away the monkeys at there.

Look! Monkeys are everywhere, luckily I did not park my car at there.

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.
