  • 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? =)

  • Mews Cafe At Muntri Mews Flashpacker Hotel, Muntri Street

    Mews Cafe At Muntri Mews Flashpacker Hotel, Muntri Street

    The number of flashpacker and boutique heritage hotel is growing in heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, George Town. These flashpacker hotels don’t really offers accommodation to tourist only but they also have little cafe/restaurants which feature a heritage dining experience and some nice local food. It’s getting a trend of Penangite going to these place to dine.

    Recently, I have been seeing people checking into this cafe of a boutique flashpacker hotel, Muntri Mews through social media like Facebook, FourSquare and Twitter. With much curiosity of these checking-in, I went to check out the cafe – Mews Cafe of Muntri Mews Hotel with my mom for lunch.

    Parking was not really easy as the road is narrow, but I believe it would not be a problem if you don’t mine to walk further up a bit.

    Upon entering the cafe, you will see a corner that serves as the reception for the hotel, and the cafe is pretty small, yet can pack 30 customers. The minimalist interiors and the usage of heritage furniture showcase the boutique hotel well.

    Food menu wise is Asian and Western food starting from RM16. As Today’s Special for yesterday was the Ipoh’s Hor Fun (RM16). My last Ipoh Hor Fun was in Ipoh, it’s chicken slices hor fun with beansprout and shrimp, the soup tasted chicken. However, this Ipoh Hor Fun tasted like Hokkien Prawn Mee, just that’s the taste it’s not strong. The taste of prawn can bee tasted, with ingredient like fu chok, chicken, bean sprout, and shrimps. The hor fun can be be distinguished with local koay teow, it’s more thick and not so sticky like koay teow. Overall, it’s OK-good, but with that price range, I might not want to eat it again. Haha. A bowl of koay teow th’ng or the real Ipoh’s hor fun, cost as little as RM4, it’s like 4 times the price.

    The Nasi Lemak Bento (RM16) is one more the most discussed topic on the social network and I have been hearing many good review about it. I ordered this for my lunch meal to check out whether it’s up what I expected. The presentation looks really awesome as it blended the Malaysian and Japanese culture. Nasi Lemak usually is placed on banana leaf and being in the Japanese bento box is my first time see it. It separated the rice, omelette, curry chicken, sambal sauce and shrimp, ikan bilis, nuts and cucumber well.

    Usually nasi lemak uses hard boiled egg but with this, it uses omelet instead. Well, how about the taste? The shrimp and the sambal gravy were in fact good, but than the portion of serving was too little. As for the rice, it’s not lemak enough, so do the curry chicken. Unable to conclude that it’s not good, it’s still good as I like the sambal gravy quite a lot.

    RM16 per meal for Nasi Lemak, is again, not that good, as you can actually buy 16 packs of RM1 mini Nasi Lemak packs. But with the dining experience in a boutique hotel, and enjoy the atmosphere being in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s good.

  • Famous Ipoh Shredded Chicken Hor Fun (Kai Si Hor Fun) at Thean Chun Cafe

    Famous Ipoh Shredded Chicken Hor Fun (Kai Si Hor Fun) at Thean Chun Cafe

    Here comes Ipoh food again. I was in Ipoh for fun 2 weeks ago and got to thanks Jee An and Voon Bin for their hospitality and accommodations. They brought us around for food and fun. One of the famous Ipoh food I had was the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun or known as Kai Si Hor Fun in Cantonese.

    IMG_0040 by nicholaschan

    This famous shredded chicken hor fun stall located in Ipoh’s old town on Jalan Bandar Timah, more likely known as Leech Street to the local, in an old cafe named Thean Chun.

    Ipoh’s Hor Fun are more likely the same as our Penang’s Koay Teow except that it’s more smooth and softer when put in mouth. They look the same, but the textual isn’t. Hor Fun to Penangite are something thicker than Koay Teow.

    As for the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it’s just almost like our Penang’s Koay Teow Th’ng, except it’s a little spicy and there’s shrimp in it. You can find almost similar one on Buckingham Street near to the market there where you order a bowl of clear soup koay teow (清汤粿条) at the curry noodle stall in front of the market.

    Talking back about the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it looks nice but somehow to me, I still prefer koay teow in it instead of hor fun, everything was good except the choice of noodle. Maybe I am a Penang person and love koay teow more than their hor fun. Anyway, if you go to Ipoh, this is a must try.
