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.

Tomyam Soup Pad Thai And Tomyam Fried Rice On Macalister Road

Here comes some cheap Thai food hawker stall that I’ve visited recently for lunch. Few days ago, I went to the Pinang Delicious Food Court on Macalister Road for lunch. I heard that there’s some nice fried rice at there from friend, so I decided to order fried rice for me for lunch that day.

The fried rice is actually from a Thai Food hawker stall and they serve various Thai dishes too but mainly fried rice.

So, I ordered a Thai Tomyam fried rice (RM4). I found it pretty nice, but a little bit not so dry, and surprised to find crab stick in there which makes it tasted sweet. The tomyam taste was just nice, not too strong and feels good. If you are craving from strong tomyam, it maybe not enough for you. In my opinion, if it’s drier, then it’s perfect!

Mom ordered a Pad Thai With Tomyam Soup served with white rice (RM4). The tomyam soup was pretty sour and the pad thai was filled with vegetable. I like the tomyam soup more. =D

Lunch At Kopitan Restaurant, Logan Heritage, Beach Street

Do you know about the Logan Heritage on Beach Street? It’s a new refurbished and restoration of old heritage building, turning into F&B outlet, shops and offices. There’s another one next to it is the Whiteway’s Arcade.

Today’s lunch was at Kopitan Restaurant and I went there with mom. It’s super easy to find as it’s located on Beach Street (Lebuh Pantai), right opposite of RBS bank and Standard Chartered bank. Every time I passed by the place, I saw the name Kapitan, but when getting closer for a look, the name is actually KOPITAN, it’s KOPI, not KAPI, which everyone always mistaken for it. Haha.

First up, mom ordered a Mixed Fruit Salad (RM4.80) and it’s kinda cool. Basically it’s a bowl of mixed fruit, like apple, orange, mini tomato and raisin. Then it’s mixed with the thousand island salad sauce, become a healthy appetizer.

Mom ordered a light meal for her. It’s a Pineapple Cheese Toast (RM6.50). One thing I’ve forgotten to mention is that their menu are something like those Old Town style, but somehow the price is cheaper and have different style of toast. I can feel the little pineapple cutlet and the cheese. It melts onto the toast. The best part is that the bread is very soft and good.

Here’s my lunch at Kopitan Restaurant which is a Kam Heong Chicken Chop Rice (RM8.90). It looks pretty good and taste good too. Just ignore the soup as it’s just normal soup that’s nothing special. The crispy chicken chop poured with Kam Heong sauce which tasted sweet and spicy. Love the onion and love the sauce and chicken! Somehow if there’s more sauce to be eat with the rice, then it will be better.

Famous Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball at Jonker Walk

Now I want to talk about one of the super famous chicken rice ball in Malacca’s Jonker Walk which is the Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball.

It’s actually located near the head of the Jonker Walk on the row of heritage shop. There’s two famous one, one is Chung Wah and another is this Hoe Kee. I always see so many people queing for these two but I went in this Hoe Kee because of the cleaness and the nice look.

As usual, we queued up outside the restaurant and the lady came and take order for us first, once there’s a table, we can go in. I ordered a standard set with an extra cabbage vegetable.

Here’s the rice balls came and indeed is better than the previous one and taste good too. The black sauce is actually thick black soy sauce that they put on the table. Quite nice eating with the sauce.

Then the cabbage is just normal cabbage, nothing special. Just something added into our meal.

As for the chicken, you can see it’s not welly presented, simply placed on the the plate. Kinda dissappointed with the look but it’s still nice though. =) Unfortunately, this is a rather expensive place, one set of these cost us almost RM12. That’s pretty expensive for chicken rice.

Check out the Chung Wah, a long queue. Internet reviews say that the chicken at there is not nice. When I see the queue, I don’t even feel like joining in under the hot sun, what do you think?

Famous Curry Mee at Lorong Seratus Tahun

In Penang, there’s a very famous curry mee at Lorong Seratus Tahun, the road name literally means 100 years lane and I have no idea why is it named so. Most Penangite who love to eat sure knows about this place and the curry mee. Located in an old kopitiam on the corner, the kopitiam has a vintage feel as the owner love Chinese oldies.

The spiciness depends on how much curry paste you put in. Nothing much to review, I have to say, it’s good and nice.

Hokkien Mee Outside Campbell Street Market

On a wet Monday morning, which was also the first Monday of the new year, I went to the old part of the town to have my lunch. At first of thinking eating the Ah Wan’s Curry Mee by the market near Campbell Street and Carnavon Street, but accidentally found a Hokkien Mee stall on a trishaw at there. So mom and dad ordered curry mee and I went to order a bowl of authentic Penang hokkien prawn noodle.

Dad told me that this little stall existed like many many years ago, as old as like 15 to 20 years old. Last time, the ah pek (local slang for uncle or old people) sells at the backlane of the shophouses on Buckingham Street and now he is out of the backlane, stationed outside the old market. To be exact, the street is almost the end of Carnavon Street, near to the crossing of Campbell Street. I’ll put a map below.

Different from modernized hokkien prawn mee, there’s not many pork lard or extra added ingredient like siu yok/sio bak (roasted pork), ribs and big prawn. It’s authentic Penang Hokkien Prawn Mee with lots of little little super little shrimps, prawn soup, noodles, some meat and that’s all. Yummy.

Hup Kee BBQ Roasted Char Siew Pork Restaurant at Bandar Sunway

First of all, I finally found a roasted pork ala char siu (penang hokkien:char sio) ala siu yok (penang hokkien:sio bak) restaurant in Bandar Sunway and that is Hup Kee BBQ Restaurant near to Mentari Court. I was looking for nice char siu and siu yok in KL and PJ for quite some times after I came here to study. I kinda miss it because my campus is selling all the halal food and I’ve tried a few out there at the coffee shop but they are not very good yet.

The place is kinda nice, not like typical chicken rice roasted pork kopitiam. They sell roasted pork, char siu, siu yok, chinese sausage, roasted chicken and roasted duck, serves with chicken rice or noodle, dry or soup. The best part of it is that they have noodle, just like eating the wan tan mee but with chicken or pork. As for the pricing, it’s typical KL price which starts from RM5 and then differ with the combination of meat. One can reach as much as RM9 with 3 combination. However, I don’t want to say it’s the best, but it’s a lot a lot better than other chicken rice roasted pork shop at there.

One more thing, it’s opens from morning until afternoon. It’s a good lunch place.

If you ask me where in my mind is the best, I’ll say Sin Lam Huat Roasted Pork Chicken Rice in Penang. =D

Sushi Zanmai and Crepe Cake for Nita’s Belated Birthday

This week’s Tuesday is the end of final exam. Haha. Design course not really don’t have exam but for this sem, I have two papers to test and that’s Technical English and Building Materials. So it’s just two days of final exams. Finally it’s over but my juniors are doing their SPM, hopefully they are doing well right now.

So on Tuersday, after exam. Nita, my Indonesian classmate invited us for Japanese food at Sushi Zanmai. Oh yeah, finally have a chance to visit the always long-queue Sushi Zanmai. I have no idea why I always see a long queue outside Sushi Zanmai. Why?

It was actually a belated birthday celebration for Nita because on the actual date which was two weeks ago, we were busy with assignment so we didn’t celebrate and so it’s postponed. Still fun!

Somehow, I take it as belated birthday celebration plus a little bit of farewell because this week could be my last week at here because I have 1.5 months holiday ahead! =) And also, 3 friends, Connie, Zhi Inn and Lai Quen are going to change to degree because Taylor’s just recently introduced the degree of BA Interior Architecture but then I couldn’t change because my qualification is only SPM.

Not finish yet. After Sushi Zanmai, we decided to treat back Nita a birthday cake and we went to Kuchai Lama. I have no idea where Kuchai Lama is and GPS was my guide. Haha. I know it’s somewhere near Old Klang Rd if I am not mistaken.

Go Kuchai Lama, Indulge Cafe just to eat a crepe cake. Haha. Happy 17 birthday Nita, belated!

Puchong Fatt Kee Chinese Mixed Rice

The place I am living right now is so close to Puchong but then I don’t always go there to eat in fact, I don’t because I am selfish and I don’t want to pay for the toll RM1.60 for the LDP highway. Haha. It’s so close if to and fro will be RM3.20 already. Last Thursday, I accidentally went to a wrong way and end up passing the toll after school. I don’t want to waste my toll paid although it’s just little so I went to have lunch at Puchong. Haha.

My friend, Zhi Sheng who is a local here introduced me to this Fatt Kee Mixed Rice cafe, somewhere just right opposite Tesco Puchong. Last time, this kind of mixed rice, people call it economy rice because it was cheap, later then they changed the name from economy rice to mixed rice because it’s not cheap now. I look at the number of dish and surprise to see that there’s more than 20 dishes and it’s pretty interesting.

I took bitterguard, pork, petai and another kind of pork and salted vegetable and guess how much it cost? RM5. It’s confirm cheaper than here in my campus which would probably be RM6-7 already.

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.
