  • Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih & Canteen

    Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih & Canteen

    Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Kuih & Canteen – Tucked in a hidden alley, there lies a traditional nyonya kuih making kitchen. A deep tour pass the kitchen showcases an old school setting of tables and chairs that resemble a typical grandma’s kampung house. Greeted by two young and lovely owner of the ‘canteen’, we sat down by the air well away from the direct scorching sun ray. We picked this place instead of the inner air-conditioned dining hall to get myself closer to the wonderful architecture of a Penang’s shophouse.

    People would hardly know about this place without a proper signage except introduction from friends. I’ve get to know about this through the newspaper and wallaaaaa, I was here for lunch. Nyonya kuih, Nasi Lemak & Asam Laksa were the food for 3 of us. Nasi Lemak was old school style as describe from my parents, just the authentic sweet fragrant nasi lemak compliment with spicy sambal, spiced shrimp and fish. Asam Laksa on the other hand had a very sweet and sour sensation which the thick laksa noodle was lovely to blend with the soup. Not much of a comment for the kuih as I am not a kuih lover, but they are similarly good.

    Pricing was not cheaper than hawker centre, but reasonable to my wallet. Well, I’ve found a gem in town after a year of opening!

  • Klang Valley: Nasi Lemak Cikgu, Kelana Jaya

    Klang Valley: Nasi Lemak Cikgu, Kelana Jaya

     
    Klang Valley: Nasi Lemak Cikgu, Kelana Jaya – Recently, the restaurants I went have very cute or funny name. The last one was Bird Man now and found another one – Nasi Lemak Cikgu! Cikgu means teacher in Malay and it sounds interesting. ‘Cikgu! Cikgu! Cikgu! Jangan pukul saya cikgu’. LOL.
    My friend Beng Tian brought me there for dinner after work and it’s located somewhere behind Giant Kelana Jaya, the area where it sells a lot of Chinese Muslim food. As the name of the restaurant says, it only sells Nasi Lemak at there, it’s either those in a packet one or a plate of hot Nasi Lemak with side dishes like fried chicken and more. So I ordered one plate with half piece of chicken. It comes with plenty of sambal gravy which is quite tasty and not spicy. The chicken, to be surprised was really crispy and has a good aroma.
     
    Yes, this place is consider one of the good Nasi Lemak in Klang Valley in my opinion. Price? It’s RM7.20 for that plate of Nasi Lemak with half piece of fried chicken and a hot tea, so do the math. =D I asked the person and the boss, the owner is really a ‘Cikgu’ in high school! Cool!
    Next Nasi Lemak to try – Village Park, heard it’s the best? Some said Murni has better fried chicken, what do you think?

  • Klang Valley: Yum! Kopi @ The Mines

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
