  • Char Koay Teow Basah (Wet) @ Sungai Rambai, Bukit Mertajam

    Char Koay Teow Basah (Wet) @ Sungai Rambai, Bukit Mertajam

    Char Koay Teow Basah (Wet) @ Sungai Rambai, Bukit Mertajam – When we talk about Char Koay Teow, the place “Penang” came into mind, and then it came the huge shrimps, and the dry flat noodles with beansprout, a little bit of hot chilli paste, cockles the the flat noodle pan fried with special soy sauce – Penang’s Char Koay Teow.

    Have you ever wonder what it is when Char Koay Teow is fried by our local Malay friend? It turned from dry to to wet. Malay-style of Char Koay Teow is basically has a special salty and sweet wet sauce which pour onto the flat noodle and is believe that it’s from the little town of Bukit Mertajam.

    With the absence of pork lard, it still however brings another type of surprise to you. It’s a whole new experience of Char Koay Teow.

    On one of the road connecting into Bukit Mertajam town – Jalan Sungai Rambai, lies a Malay-style Char Koay Teow that provides delicious dinner and supper for the locals. It’s located in front of a furniture shop and you can easily spot the place when you see the AIA building, where the stall is just right opposite of it.

    At RM3.00 per plate, you will see a bowl of waterish wet dark brown sauce which half flooded the flat white noodle. Beansprout, cockles and small shrimps are accompanied with the little dish. The sauce is special as it’s cook with egg and tasted salty, and a little bit of sweetness.

    Ask for “udang kopek” which actually means for removing the shell of the shrimp when ordering to ease your eating experience. The little Penang’s street food by our local Malay friend is special, nice, yet I found the portion is rather small. It went in my stomach in just a short period of time.

    Nevertheless, it’s something that should be try. I’ve read that at Alma, Bukit Mertajam has another stall that sells this kind of Char Koay Teow and I would like to try it one day.

  • Bubble Milk Oolong Tea – LOHAS Tea Shop, Bukit Mertajam

    Bubble Milk Oolong Tea – LOHAS Tea Shop, Bukit Mertajam

    Bubble Milk Oolong Tea - LOHAS Tea Shop, Bukit Mertajam
    #1.

    Bubble Milk Oolong Tea – LOHAS Tea Shop, Bukit Mertajam – Chinese loves bubble tea very much, so do I! I am a super bubble tea fan, it’s so much better than Starbucks Coffee although they are two different category of beverage. With the rise of famous international brand like Chatime, Gong Cha, Share Tea and more, local bubble tea shops are trying very hard to compete with them as people tend to go for a more famous brand.

    Despite the many brand of bubble tea in town, e.g. Chatime, Gong Cha, Each A Cup, Fresh (Penang), LOHAS (Penang), Cool Blog, I realised that people are still trying to create another bubble tea brand.


    #2: Clean and simple interior.

    Recently, my dearest Hueisean introduced me a less known to the Penang-island people bubble tea brand – LOHAS Tea Shop, which is located in Bukit Mertajam. LOHAS is quite well-known at Bukit Mertajam before the arriving of Chatime and has been a hangout spot for the young for some times.


    #3: The menu in Chinese.

    The cafe has a simple decoration, yet it brings out a minimalist and warm sense with the illuminating panel. I like the brand name too – LOHAS, which actually means Lifestyle Of Health And Sustainable in general term. Looking at the menu, it offers bubble tea just like any other typical bubble tea shop, but at a lower price and they do serve little snack food too. This is what makes it stand out from others.


    #4: Wifi is available in the cafe.


    #5: Simple packaging.

    I ordered a cup of regular size Bubble Milk Oolong Tea with Pearl (RM4.00 + RM0.50 for pearl). I quite like the price for the cup of bubble tea as normally, I have to pay RM5.90 – RM6.90 for a similar cup of bubble tea at the well-known brand.


    #6: The bubble tea.

    The bubble is quite chewy in my opinion, and the oolong tea taste is there, however it would be better if the essence, the taste of the tea can be stronger. Overall, it’s OK-good, I like it because of the price, as well of the not-bad-ness.

    If you ever to be in Bukit Mertajam, do pay a visit if you are a bubble tea fans.

  • Chit Long 7 Village Koay Teow Thng, Seberang Perai 七廊粿条汤

    Chit Long 7 Village Koay Teow Thng, Seberang Perai 七廊粿条汤 – If you came or resides on the other side of Penanag, Seberang Perai, you will probably know about this 7 Village Koay Teow Thng (Koay Teow Soup) or known as Chit Long more to the locals.

    As written in the titile, 7 Village is a place to eat Koay Teow Thng, however it isn’t like eating at the hawker stall or coffee shop kopitiam, it’s a clean restaurant that serves mainly koay teow thng with a few number of side dish that you can choose from.

    Started off from a hawker stall many years back, and later convert into a specialized koay teow thng business do serve nice food too! They have 3 outlets at Seberang Perai mainland and I wonder will they expand the business to Penang island or not. Let’s get into the food shall we?

    It’s not all about eating Koay Teow Thng at 7 Village, there’s a variety of side dishes that you can order and must not missed in my opinion. Once of them is the Vegetable Soya Sauce (油菜心) RM2.50/RM5.00 which is Chinese flower cabbage, cook with soya sauce and garlic which makes it simply delicious and healthy.

    Next is the Chicken Soya Sauce (油鸡) RM3/RM5/RM10 which is plainly white chicken that you usually eat with hainan chicken rice with a topping of chives and poured in a small plate of oily soya sauce makes chicken taste simply awesome and mouth-watering.

    The Lobak (RM1.50) that I ordered on my next visit wasn’t really a nice experience for my mouth and me as it’s not crispy at all even though the presentation looks really nice with the name 七 (Chit) written with chilli sauce.

    Here is the Koay Teow Thng (RM3/RM4) which is the specialty of the shop. Looking good in presentation and portion. The flat noodle or koay teow with soup is accompanied by minced pork as well as slices of pork meat and fish balls, topped with some spring onions. Koay Teow Thng is always about the soup, the soup is simply pleasant tasted sweet and a little bit salty which makes it taste good. Everything was in a nice way that it’s not too over or not too light, fantastic! However, I feel there’s something missing with the fish balls, it’s, just… not fishy enough, feels a little bit too hard.

    I have visited two of their outlet and I would like to visit it again although it’s on the other side of Penang. Nevertheless, good food need a little bit of sacrificing like petrol fuel and toll, yet the experience after-meal is totally difference. Price wise is consider cheap with a nice dining place.

    Do you have any nice koay teow thng to introduce? =)
