  • Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai

    Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai



    Penang: Transfer Road Delicious Roti Canai – Yeah, you heard it right, Transfer Road in George Town has a nice Roti Canai stall that operates in the morning. It’s not new, but it’s quite new to me because it’s my first time went there recently with an Indonesian friend – Arvin. I was a tour guide for Arvin for 3 days last week and I brought him around to eat and check out. =D


    Let’s talk back about this Roti Canai, what’s so special is actually the gravy, the curry. You know Roti Canai is just a piece of Indian flatbread that eat with curry sauce normally called dalcha. But at this Transfer Road Roti Canai, you can order a choice of chicken curry, beef curry and mutton curry. Then you can choose it to be separated which is the roti and curry separated or choose it BANJIR (flood) which is the curry flooded on the bread.



    We ordered one chicken curry and one beef curry. Total got bomb, of RM10 include drinks. Perhaps it’s expensive for the curry as there’s big piece of chicken and beef. The curry were pretty spicy, yet it’s spicy level were to suit to over liking. Overall, it’s a nice roti canai place and I prefer the beef curry more. =D One more thing, you can add an extra sunny egg on top of your roti canai too upon special request.

  • Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve

    Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve

    Penang: Lolipot Shabu-Shabu On Christmas Eve – The next time, if you ever wanted to go Lolipot Shabu-shabu on Christmas Eve or any other occasion, please, please make a reservation first! I’ll include the telephone number at the end of the post. Hahahaahaha.

    Funny and interesting and cute name – Lolipot. =D
    Arron Lim, the India boy, because he is studying in India.
    Me and Alvin.

    Alvin suggested Lolipot for Christmas Eve’s dinner and we were there at 8.30pm and it’s really full, full of people. The staff told us that we don’t need to wait anymore even though there’s one unseated table beca.use it’s reserved. We insisted to wait, for the next half hour but no luck. Until we decided to walk away, to somewhere else, the staff ran out and inform us that one customer cancelled their reservation. Is us lucky or too persevere?

    Interiors of the restaurant.
    Milksoup.

    It’s my first time to Lolipot, a special name and it’s local style of shabu-shabu as each person gets their own pot and there’s 4 choices of soup – Clear 清汤，Tomyam, Kim Chi & Milk. Sounds interesting right? But I am more a heavy taster, so tomyum it was! The experience gets better if we get to sit near the moving belt as  we can take anything we want from the belt like sushi for the steamboat. Either way, we order from a piece of paper and wait for it to be served. Not bad, something special, and it’s All-You-Can-Eat @ RM38++/person and pretty worth it and hygienic because you eat with your own pot.

    Arron, me, Simon and Alvin.

    Interesting place for steamboat/shabu-shabu and that’s my Christmas Eve dinner 3 guys! Yeah and no girls.

    Extra member for Christmas Eve – Raykee Gor eating McChicken Nugget and Simon.

    Chaiwei, Me, Yiphing, Raykee, Simon and Arron.

    Actually, we don’t really have plan for Christmas, nor the feel for it, we spent like 15 minutes standing by the roadside thinking where to go, spent 15 minutes in the car counting down for Christmas and see other people celebrated it. Ended eating McChicken Nuggets at McDonald’s at 1am with extra 3 friends. Haha.

    Not a bad night out, Christmas only mah… Merry Christmas! =)

  • Penang: Coffee Chocolate Mille Crepe & Cafe Latte @ Twelve Cups

    Penang: Coffee Chocolate Mille Crepe & Cafe Latte @ Twelve Cups

    Penang: Coffee Chocolate Mille Crepe & Cafe Latte @ Twelve Cups – Penang’s road came into a massive war zone around Gurney Drive area, Air Itam and some other tourists area of Penang! So many other state’s vehicles have flocked into this little island on the weekend causing congestion here and there. After lunch, to prevent myself stuck in the congestion on the way home, I brought mom to Twelve Cups for a little after meal desserts and a cup of coffee to chill a while before getting ourselves into the traffic jam.
    Coffee Chocolate. Not my favourite afterall, found that Hokkaido Milk was better. =D
    A good cup of Caffe Latte.

    Lovely time with mille crepe and coffee at the cafe, but then it’s not lovely when being in the jam. Argh, seriously, something need to be done to help reduce the traffic congestion on this little island, but how?

  • Penang: The Twelve Cups – Awesome Mille Crepe

    Penang: The Twelve Cups – Awesome Mille Crepe

    Entrance from Beach Street.

    Penang: The Twelve Cups – Awesome Mille Crepe – Malacca has a very famous attraction which is the Nadeje Mille Crepe Cafe, people who goes to Malacca will surely visit it for a try. So, mille crepe, the ang mo-style of layer cake is now available in Penang, no need to go until Malacca to try, moreover this one is not bad too!

    The GOOD wall.
    The counter.
    The counter again.

    Located at Beach Street, in a very cool colonial-style building of WhiteAways Arcade is The Twelve Cups Cafe where you can find brew coffee and of course, the Mille Crepe cake. Actually it’s my friend – Huan Sheng who is the designer of the cafe, that introduced to this cafe, and also, the cafe is own by his friend, and that’s why. Haha. Being an interior design student, I am always checking out new cafes and retail outlet to get more inspiration. Well, the interiors is freshy, clean and contemporary, might say is today’s style of cafe.

    Hokkaido Chocolate Crepe, the in-house signature Mille Crepe which I like and rather small.

    Cut the crap and let’s check out the one and only mille crepe Clarice and I ordered. Haha. It’s the Hokkaido Chocolate Crepe (RM10.90), with chocolate layering, the strong aroma of milk melted in my tongue, give me a refreshing sense of sweetness and satisfaction. Yes, it’s nice. However, the portion is a little bit small in my opinion and it should be cut bigger. =) Sky juice is free by the way. XD

    I will come back again for more!

  • PIK NIK Food & Gathering With Primary School Friend

    PIK NIK Food & Gathering With Primary School Friend

    PIK NIK Food & Gathering With Primary School Friend – It’d been a while that I see and meet my primary school’s friend. After studying in Chung Ling High School, it seems like I was lost in contact with most of them. All the while I was like mixing with high school friends, only when Facebook arrives on the web, we started to communicate again. Well, it’s nice to have some nice primary school mate who organises some gathering session.

    Well, thanks Joanne for organising that recent gathering session at PIK NIK when I was in Penang few weeks ago. I was pretty excited for that as I haven’t been meeting for a long long time. In fact, I did forget about a few girls in the invitation list, hehehe, but not now. Now I’ve remember all of you! No worry.

    It was dinner, it was gathering, it was photo session, it was Zenga session, it was just joking around, it was reunion. Funny that I didn’t know what to talk at first, was shy at the girls, nothing much with the boys as they were high school mate. But crap and bullshits coming out of mouth after some warm up of “Hello” here and there. Laughter started to break the silence. HAHAHA.

    How about food? Not low price, but looks good! Should have tried out the smoked salmon waffle. I ordered a new food in the menu – Spicy Kimchi Spaghetti and seriously…. It’s HOT AND SPICY! But with my spicy tongue, it’s still acceptable.

    Spicy Kimchie Spaghetti with sausages.

    Chicken Waffle Burger. Looks yummy and very worth with that portion.

    Smoked Salmon Waffle – Yums! Very good.

    Bacon Waffle.

    Food presentation does indeed looks pretty at there. Forgot to mention, the owner behind this little cafe is a Graphic Designer! That’s why you will see very irregular seatings and fancy graphical artwork around the cafe. Cool place to chill, perhaps in the afternoon. It gets pretty noisy at night. =D

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul – Pan Mee, although is not one of Penang’s famous food, but then it’s still loved by the Penangite. You can find Pan Mee at every state of Malaysia, every where have their own style. Recently, I went to one at Bukit Jambul to eat Pan Mee, it’s located at one of the shoplot below the low cost flat.

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul

    I’ve been hearing about this Pan Mee for some times already and now finally I’ve a chance to try it out. I believe people around this area will know about this Pan Mee place.

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul

    There are two choices of Pan Mee for you to choose, it’s either the thick flat pan mee or the small one, then you can choose either it’s dry-based or soup-based. I wanted to order the thick pan mee but it’s finished already. The dry one was good filled with soy sauce, minced meat, ikan bilis and a separate bowl of soup with fish ball and vegetable. I like the dry one.

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul

    The soup one is basically the same thing, just with the soup and without the soy sauce. The taste is light and clear, add in some chili to make it taste better in my opinion. After all, I still prefer the dry one.

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul

    Additionally, I ordered a bowl of fish ball soup. Yums!

    Pan Mee At Hou Mei Yuen, Bukit Jambul

    Besides that, they have a few dim sum for you to pick. There’s a guy holding a tray of dim sums going around for you to pick. I took a plate of siu mai as appetizer.

    Heng Heng Tomyam Mee, Bukit Mertajam

    Heng Heng Tomyam Mee, Bukit Mertajam – Seberang Perai really has a lot of good food. Raja Uda, Butterworth has good tomyam mee, but at Bukit Mertajam, there too, has a good tomyam mee stall named Heng Heng.

    Heng Heng Tomyam Mee, Bukit Mertajam

    Heng Heng does not only sells tomyam noodle, but they do sell pork noodle, as well as seafood porridge. But the famous one is the pork noodle and tomyam noodle.

    Heng Heng Tomyam Mee, Bukit Mertajam

    There’s quite a number of ingredient for you to pick for your serving. The tomyam is very thick, sour and spicy a bit but it’s good. Try it with some minced meat, mantis prawn and perhaps some abalone slices, it will be nice as it’s me and my girlfriend’s favourite. One thing that it’s not so ‘awesome’ is the price. The bowl that I ate was RM10. Pretty expensive right? Anyway, it’s a good one. Do check it out.

  • Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

    Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

    Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

    (BM) Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow – Bukit Mertajam is famous for duck egg char koay teow, yes or no? That’s what my girlfriend told me. George Town also has duck egg char koay teow, just frying with duck egg is top-up request, where as in Bukit Mertajam, you only get a choice of egg and that’s duck egg. Duck egg makes your char koay teow taste better.

    There’s one good one in Bukit Mertajam that used to locate on the roadside of Jalan Kulim has now moved to a new place, also on Jalan Kulim, but to be exact, is at Kampung Baru, in a coffee shop.

    Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

    I was having hard time looking for it because there’s not much people posted it on the Internet or Facebook. My girlfriend asked around her friends and finally we found the place.

    Bukit Mertajam Duck Egg Char Koay Teow

    At RM4.50 a plate with a deep fried egg omelete. It’s good in the sense of different with others that I’d in George Town. The koay teow is darker because of different soy sauce used and best of all, lots of lards (not healthy though)! The deep fried egg omelette is compliment to the koay teow and it’s a must add-on when you order a plate of this. If the koay teow can be dryer than it will be best.

    Opens only at night, after 8pm.

  • 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.

  • 888 Hokkien Mee @ Lebuh Presgrave Dinner

    888 Hokkien Mee @ Lebuh Presgrave Dinner

    888 Hokkien Mee @ Lebuh Presgrave Dinner – It was the night before London Olympic 2012 Opening Ceremony, a few friends gathered around at Presgrave Street or more likely known as Sar Tiao Lor (3rd Road) for local to eat a hot bowl of Hokkien Prawn Noodle with Roasted Pork (Siu Yok/Sio Bak) and icy ice kacang with ice cream topping.

    888 Hokkien Mee @ Lebuh Presgrave Dinner

    It’d been a while that I’ve visited this Hokkien Mee stall in Penang. It’s one of my favourite place for Hokkien Prawn Mee, especially for the top up of roasted pork (sio bak/siu yok). The soup has a strong aroma of shrimp essense and I like it with springy instant noodle. Personally, just put a little bit of chili paste will do, too much will ruin the taste of the soup. It costed me RM4.50, reasonable.

    888 Hokkien Mee @ Lebuh Presgrave Dinner

    An addition bowl of icy ice kacang with vanila ice cream topping complements to the delicious bowl of hokkien mee. I’ve forgotten about the price, roughly RM2+. Very cheap only.

    After dinner, we went to CC’s house for KTV until midnight, then went to supper and cyber cafe for 2 round of DoTA (very noob and I don’t really play), then went back to CC’s house for Olympic’s Opening Ceremony. Sorry that I’ve got to say, it was not awesome, except for Mr Bean’s part.
