Lebuh Keng Kwee's Halal Hub is a bustling culinary paradise showcasing diverse delights.
The Crab Porridge, a well-loved favorite, is a bowl of creamy soft porridge cooked with crab and fresh ginger, providing a gingery finish. If we could ask for a little less ginger, it would be lovely as the porridge will show a heightened sweetness of the crab.
Ma La Xiang 麻辣乡 is the place where you can get a taste of numb and spicy hot pot from Shi Chuan. This authentic hot and spicy pot will sting your tongue and make it icy cold first and numb afterward. It is then follow by the burning sensation of spiciness
We also tried their Pad Thai... which turned out to be pretty good. The seasonings were spot on and the quintessential "wok hei" was there... our only complain was the small portion
This shop served delicious and fresh Thai style Crab Porridge. The Tomyam here also wonderful. The Thai style curry crab here is also packed with spices aroma. All there are prepared by Thai Lady Boss.
Tucked away from the bustling Penang Road, Snow story & Chef De Cuisine is probably one of the most "international" cafes in Penang... with a partnership consists of more than 3 nationalities. It started off with Snow Story, a shaved ice-focused Japanese dessert parlor manned by a Japanese proprietor (the wife is a local Penangite) and recently, joined by a couple from Hong Kong, who runs Chef De Cuisine. Snow Story offers a small dessert menu but the variety assures authenticity- everything is home-made and that includes the colorful sugar syrup, all made using natural ingredients like fruits and vegetables. For main, turn to Chef De Cuisine; the Michelin-starred restaurant trained Chef offers a unique range of Western dishes... with a delightful Asian touch. While quality is above average, the prices are lower than expected. The only setback is the limited seating, it can be a great spot to hold small lunch meetings or gathering otherwise.
