Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines – Went to The Mines Shopping Mall last weekend to check out the coolest book fair in Malaysia with cheapest book but then I didn’t know what’s good to eat at there. Checked the information map and didn’t find anything interesting also and ended up in this cool name – ‘Yum! Kopi’ Restaurant.

Shop front of ‘Yum! Kopi’.

‘Yum’ means drink in Cantonese. =D It’s just another Old Town/Papparich-style restaurant, well since our main thing at there was not to eat so we didn’t mind a lot.

Nasi Lemak. I like the sambal and the curry chicken is pretty spicy.

Mushroom Chicken Nissin Noodle which I find it nice although it’s just instant noodle. Hahaha.

Hahahahaha. Nothing much to comment, the Nissin noodle taste better than the nasi lemak, but the nasi lemak is not bad after all, better than Old Town in my opinion. So if you are looking for cheap bites at The Mines Shopping Mall, you may check out this one.

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.

Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza

Famous Super Hokkien Mee Behind Penang Plaza – This Hokkien Prawn Mee is quite famous among Penangite as it’s often known for waiting long to be served and also sold out very early by 9am +++. Super Hokkien Mee is the name of the store, it’s just a gimmick telling you that it’s ‘SUPER’. Haha.

Located behind of Penang Plaza in a coffee shop called One Corner Cafe on Jalan Bawasah, Super Hokkien Mee started selling early in the morning for breakfast. I went there few days ago with my friends to check out how good it was. We ordered at 8.30am and were told that we have to wait until 9am. That’s fine for us.

Pricing was surprisingly higher at RM4.50 per bowl, just like KL-price. You know, you still can find RM2.50/bowl of Hokkien Prawn Noodle at Cecil Street Market. How about the taste? The soup does indeed taste sweeter with a strong aroma of prawn, probably cooked with lots of prawn shell. Tiny prawn slices can be seen in the soup and unfortunately, boiled egg was not present in the soup.

Overall, it tastes good, but somehow might lazy to wait and wake up early for it again. XD Will try another one that sells out early at Pulau Tikus soon.

Nice Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee At TTDI

I am back to Subang Jaya people and I am again in search for the best Penang food available here. Sounds weird right? Being in Klang Valley looking for a food that’s not origin from here, just because I couldn’t resist the deliciousness of my hometown food and I miss them much just after a few days of living hometown.

Famous food blogger, who is also a Penangite residing in KL, KYSpeaks introduced me a few places to hunt for Penang food. Arron, a friend from Penang and I went to hunt for the Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee (known as prawn mee to the KL peeps) and we came to a place call TTDI (Taman Tun Dr Ismail). It’s somewhere between Tropicana City and Bandar Utama.

Hokkien Prawn Mee is one of the top 3 famously delicious Penang food with Asam Laksa and Char Koay Teow. If you ask me to pick one, I fancy all of them, but I like Asam Laksa even more, the world’s number 7 most delicious as rated by CNN. Nevertheless, I love them all.

In the vicinity of a Cantonese and Malay speaking city, there hides a Hokkien speaking aunty who operate the Hokkien Prawn Mee stalls in a kopitiam named Restaurant Yong Len on Jalan Tun Mohd Fuad 1.

As usual, I ordered a bowl of Hokkien Prawn Mee – Bee Hoon Mee (combination of rice noodle and Chinese yellow noodle) RM4.30. The bowl of Hokkien Prawn Mee came within a few minutes and to my surprise, its outlook cheered my food sight up. The crispy fried shallots, little shrimps pieces, noodle, slices of pork meat, beansprouts and the chilli paste are just so right. Its presentation didn’t failed me and shocked me with huge shrimps. I dislike having huge shrimps swimming in a bowl of hokkien prawn mee as it’s so not authentic. It’s sort of modified by the KL locals.

Chilli paste was spicy enough which does not burn my throat or salten my taste bud. I have came across some hokkien prawn mee in KL that the chilli paste was in fact a red salted paste. Upon flooding my mouth with the soup of prawn, it feels good and like there’s a shrimp swimming down my throat. The crunchy shallots gave the soup a little tweaks to be even better.

Best part of all is that when you reach the bottom of the bowl, a scoop of the soup reveal many small little shrimp which just makes your teeth feel busy and good.

Well, this is currently my favourite Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee stall in Klang Valley, the next would be SS15 Asia Cafe and I will definitely come back to this little place.

Lunch At Kopitan Restaurant #2

Today’s noon was raining heavily everywhere in Penang. Was thinking to eat at Sin Kheng Aun Hainanese Food but it was difficult to look for a parking, then changed our mind to TekSeng Restaurant but it’s not open today and finally we went to Kopitan Restaurant for lunch with mom and dad.

Kopitan’s Coffee – RM3.50

I found it not bad last time, so it’s a OK-GOOD lunch place. Luckily we found a parking right outside the restaurant and it was full of people inside. Surprisingly, the serving time for beverage and rice meal was fast. But it take rather slow for the toast.

The rice dish was fast in serving is probably because it’s easy to prepare as the chicken is chicken chop, just poured with different type of sauces. I ordered myself a plate of Mushroom Chicken Chop Rice (RM8.90) which I couldn’t find any mushroom on it. It’s the sauce on the chicken that tasted mushroom. Somehow, I think this is s0-so only, nothing much special, I more prefer the Kam Heong’s.

Mom likes the toast at there. She always praised that the bread use for the toast and how good and soft it is. This time, she ordered a Sausage and Cheese Toast (RM5.90) which I could say, it’s good! I like the softness of the bread, the little sausage slice on top of the bread, the cheese melts in the mouth and the sweetness of sugar on the bread. This is good.

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. =)

Lor Duck Rice at Maga Kopitiam for Dinner

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.

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. =)
