  • Kampar Claypot Chicken Rice in Penang Pulau Tikus

    Kampar Claypot Chicken Rice in Penang Pulau Tikus

    Kampar is a little town in Perak and it’s famous for UTAR (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) but I never know what food they are famous of. Haha. Recently, I went to a coffee house at Pulau Tikus, near to the market there and found out a Claypot Chicken Rice from Kampar. It’s featured on the Chinese newspaper according to mom and I ordered a set for 2 for lunch.

    It came in a big pot. A nice egg is placed on top of the rice and it’s cooked with the heat from the very hot claypot rice. We have to mix it with the rice before taking out to eat. Well, it’s not a bad one but with extra lap cheong (Chinese sausage) then I think it would be nice.

    Do go and check it out if you are a claypot chicken rice fan. =)

  • Nice 滑蛋河 Wat Tan Hor In Penang for Dinner

    Nice 滑蛋河 Wat Tan Hor In Penang for Dinner

    滑蛋河 also pronounced as Wat Tan Hor in Cantonese, mostly known to KL people and here in Penang they called it Char Hor Fun with waterish egg sauce. Some like hor fun in dry state, some like it wet a bit, some like it with extra egg and waterish. I like the one with extra egg and waterish and it’s yummy! I always eat this dish when I am in KL.

    Recently, I found a place that sells nice Wat Tan Hor in Penang and that is somewhere on Cintra Street, at the intersection of Kampung Malabar in town.

    P1030297

    P1030293

    Located on a corner unit of a row of shop houses on Cintra Street. They sell not only Wat Tan Hor but various fried hor fun and bee hoon.

    P1030295

    If to compare with what I had before in KL, KL still have a better one but this could be one of the best in Penang already. =) What do you think?

  • Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt at Island Plaza

    More and more franchise is coming to Penang, just like recently the Burger King at Lebuh Sungai Pinang and now Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt which is very common here in Kuala Lumpur is now in Penang, opening its first outlet at Island Plaza.

    Although I am now residing in Kuala Lumpur, but I didn’t really bother to visit it only when I was back to Penang last week, I brought my girlfriend, Hueisean to Tutti Frutti at Island Plaza to try out the yogurt after our movie at the new W Cinemax.

    This is something pretty cool. It’s actually self-serviced cold yogurt of different flavours. You pick your favourite flavours, bit by bit, add in some topping like nuts, cereals, chocolate and candy then the price is according to the weight. Not cheap IMO. Mine was like RM12.30 with 3 yogurt, Apple, Strawberry and Vanilla.

    Perhaps this is more healthy, but somehow I prefer gelato ice cream more. =D

  • Famous Pitt St. Koay Teow Th’ng at Carnavon Street

    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.

  • Ali Mamak Stall at Pulau Tikus

    Ali Mamak Stall at Pulau Tikus

    I am a fan of Abu Mamak Stall that’s located on Jalan Dato Koyah, somewhere turn in when you see Kayu on Penang Rd. Nightlife people might know about this place already and I love their Fried Maggi Mee a lot. Best. And recently, after posting a live post on awayfromcomputer.com, a reader intro me another mamak stall called Ali, but it’s not in town, it’s close to Pulau Tikus area right opposite PTPL college.

    The stall is on the road side of a small lane, with tables and chairs placed on the pavement. I am not sure whether Ali or the owner opporate the stall legally or not. But seems so many people eat there, it’s not a problem already.

    We didn’t know what’s famous. The Malay-Indian guy introduced us some food. There’s the susu lembu milo which literally is hot milk with Milo powder. It’s good because it’s hot and it’s RM2.20.

    Then I ordered a Fried Maggi Mee, curious about how different is this with Abu’s. The serving look the same, in fact the egg is prettier and the chicken tasted different. The noodle has a garlic taste which Abu don’t have but I go for Abu’s. Why? Because Abu’s is cheaper, this one at Ali cost RM7.20! OMG. Expensive.

    My friend ordered a Pattaya Fried Rice. As you know, Pattaya fried rice is a very standard thing, which is fried rice wrapped with egg. This is different because is fried by mamak and it tasted spicy to me and the rice is pretty dark, and wet. My friend say not nice, I felt quite not bad. Different people have different taste. If you like dark fried rice and spicy, this might be a good one for you.

    Ali, went there before or not? Abu and Ali are so not related by the way.

  • Hokkien Mee For Dinner At Pulau Tikus Market

    Hokkien Mee For Dinner At Pulau Tikus Market

    IMG_0535 by nicholaschan

    Didn’t feel like eating rice and wanted to eat some hawker food so I went to Pulau Tikus Market hawker stalls to scope for some hawker food. Same again, 6 weeks I never go to hawker stall already but my parents did buy me hawker food during Sunday visit for National Service (PLKN).

    At first I was thinking to eat Wan Tan Mee, but somehow this big Hokkien Mee signboard on the stall caught my attention and I was thinking “Hmm. When does a Hokkien Mee stall appear here?” Because there wasn’t a Hokkien Mee stall there and it was far far away at the end of the market. Could this be a new one?

    I can’t resist myself to order a bowl to try it. I ordered instant noodle typed, there’s egg, little bit of vegetable, a little bit of meat and very tiny prawn. My verdict is, not good enough. Somehow, I still like the one at Lebuh Presgrave. I’ll show you guys next time. =)

  • Famous Night Economy Char Bee Hoon at Lebuh Tye Sin

    Famous Night Economy Char Bee Hoon at Lebuh Tye Sin

    IMG_6483 by nicholaschan.

    People usually buy these so-called economy char bee hoon in the morning, mostly at the market, it’s as cheap as RM1 or perhaps lesser. Recently, dad found a place where sell it at night. It’s at the junction of Lebuh Tye Sin (四条路 a.k.a. 4th Road) and Jalan C.Y. Choy. Actually it’s there for quite a long time already and we just found it out.

    There’s only a few table at there, we waited a while for seat at there on the night, a few days ago. It was our supper.

    IMG_6488 by nicholaschan.

    Very small plate, it’s hot and it’s nice! =)

    IMG_6485 by nicholaschan.

    The little stall also have red bean soup as dessert. I don’t know how to taste it out whether it’s good or not, they’re like the same to me, sweet.

    This is a guest post by GenYong.

    Hello guys, is me again GenYong here! When you drive through the Air Itam road from Chung Ling High School to town, I am sure you will pass by Shang Wu Primary School. Outside of the school there are some hawker stalls serving their dishes in afternoon. Have you try it before?

    Wan Tan Mee

    I tried the Wan Tan Mee at there before. It is cheap but tasty! The plate of Wan Tan Mee is quite big and really taste good for me. Usually people crowded when tea time and lunch time too. I am not sure about is there selling at night.

    Wan Tan Mee

    The price for one plate of Wan Tan Mee is quite reasonable and there are many ingredients inside the plate of Wan Tan Mee. So if you got drop by there you can go and take a try. Besides Wan Tan Mee, there are also some hawker food served, take your choice! Location is outside Shang Wu Primary School which next to Heong Giam Si Temple.

  • Chicken Chop at Penang INTI College’s Bigbites Cafeteria

    Chicken Chop at Penang INTI College’s Bigbites Cafeteria

    IMG_7048 by nicholaschan

    Went to listen a talk today at INTI International College far away at Bukit Jambul today to know more about my future studies. I was hungry and straight go check their canteen/cafeteria out. The college was small and the canteen too. There’s only one stall and it’s called Bigbites. Saw Chicken Chop from the menu and was craving for it and ordered one for lunch.

    It’s RM6.50. It’s super simple, chicken chop and fries. The chicken was really crispy and few sauce to choose from as topping, there’s black pepper sauce, mushroom sauce and oriental sauce. I chose the black pepper sauce. Overall, it’s crispy but not healthy, very oily and no salad like other western food. =)
