  • Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

    Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak

    Klang Valley: Delicious Mali’s Corner Koay Teow Basar & Nasi Lemak – When we talk abou Char Koay Teow, we know it’s the fried flat noodle with Chinese-style soy sauce fried with cockles, eggs and beansprout, that’s the Chinese-style. How about the Malay-style? It’s almost the same, but it’s wet! Yeah, wet as in watery filled with gravy and they are delicious, believe me.

    See the queue!

    I’ve heard that Char Koay Teow Wet or Koay Teow Basah (Basah means wet in Malay) originate from Bukit Mertajam, Penang. I’ve tried a nice one in BM, but in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, it seems to be a better one in my opinion!

    Queue for Nasi Lemak!
    Nasi Lemak Ayam Panas, looks interesting.
    Cheap also. RM4 for small, RM5 for big and Special is with extra shrimp and that’s RM6.50.

    Mali’s Corner is the name of the stall located near to TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) which starts business at night, there’s another one outlet with a proper shoplot setup at Platinum Walk on Jalan Genting Klang too. Surprised to see that there’s a long queue for the Char Koay Teow Basah as well as the Nasi Lemak. The queue was not really long, less than 10 minutes can get my hands on a hot plate of Char Koay Teow. However, if you want to order Nasi Lemak, you have to queue again, so I’ve my friend Wei Lee queued for the Nasi Lemak and I queued for the Char Koay Teow.

    They both tasted very well to me and I like both of it! The gravy for the Koay Teow Basah is thick, and very good aroma and it has big cockles! As for the Nasi Lemak, the rice has a nice strong fragrance and the deep fried chicken is crunchy to my loving.

    Got to thanks Wei Lee for introducing me this place. =) By the way, I prefer this place @ Taman Bunga Raya then Platinum Walk because this is more authentic.

  • Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223

    Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223

    Petaling Jaya: Otak-Otak & Nasi Lemak At Mapley 223 – This is a super halal post because Mapley 223 is a halal food court. Oh yeah! This place was introduced by my friend – Hock Sheng from Universiti Malaya and he told me that there’s cheap Malay-style otak-otak and also nasi lemak, so here we go!

    Mapley 223 Food Court, 223 is because it’s near to Jalan 223.
    Me and Hock Sheng, the friend who introduced me. The friend who sat beside me in class in high school.

    Once entering the food court, don’t be shock by the stalls worker touting you asking you to eat their food. Just simply wave your hand, say no and wander to an empty table. Sit down, again, don’t be shock by the stalls worker walking towards you to ask you order their food, nasi lemak, maggi goreng, nasi goreng and more, and also the teh tarik and stuff. Don’t bother them if you know what to eat, or even don’t so that you can take some times looking around what to eat.

    Yellow and green, pick the green one.
    Hot and fresh otak-otak.
    Bloody red otak-otak, looks weird, but taste OK.

    We sat down and then my friend say don’t bother them. Wait for a guy drop a green basket of otak-otak, only start eating it. Just don’t bother about others. They will know how to calculate how much you have it cause they knew how many they put in initially. A very different style of otak-otak, with very sweet taste, a little bit of spices, and somehow less fish meat than those Nyonya’s style. It’s a good snack at RM0.60/otak-otak.

    This is the nasi lemak stall that we went for.
    And it’s RM2.50 for this plate. The rice is nice.

    He also told me that nasi lemak there is also good and cheap. So yeah, the fragrance of the lemak rice is indeed good, and too the spicy hot sambal just compliment the rice well. It’s just RM2.50 for this plate of nasi lemak, you can add more side dish too!

    Well, I have found a new place for snacks/supper! It’s Mapley 223.

  • Nice Nasi Kandar At Cargas Cafe, Bayan Lepas

    Nice Nasi Kandar At Cargas Cafe, Bayan Lepas

    Nice Nasi Kandar & Fried Chicken At Cargas Cafe, Bayan Lepas – Somewhere after the Penang International Airport, on Jalan Bayan Lepas, there is a mamak shop named Cargas Cafe which serves good Nasi Kandar. I went to try it out a few days ago during lunch time. It was so crowded with people, queuing up to take the self-service food. People of all races, Chinese, Indian, Malay were all having lunch at there.

    I’ve get to know that the fried chicken at there is good, as well as brinjal eggplant and fish. As typical Nasi Kandar, I get a plate of white rice, then I pick my own dish. I’ve got myself some curry beef, a fried chicken drum stick, an boiled egg with curry sauce, eggplant and some ladies finger. It costs me RM7.50 for these, not bad price for so many dishes.

    The curry sauce was good and I like the crunchy fried chicken, the aroma is very good with the spices hidden in the chicken. The beef was however a little bit hard to bite. Overall, they’re nice. It’s something different from town’s nasi kandar which has more taste of coconut milk in the curry.

  • 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.
