Hello, fellow food enthusiasts! Today, I'm taking you on a culinary journey to a hidden gem that's been serving up a taste of nostalgia for decades. Kafe Peng Hooi 槟园茶室 is a renowned eatery known for its unforgettable duck drumstick mee shua (鸭腿面线).
Jit Sheng Roasted Duck Stall 日昇香港烧鸭饭 is one of the nostalgic stalls that sells delicious Peking Roast Duck. This stall has been up and running for more than 40 years and was still serving succulent juicy duck meat with crunchy yummy skin since then.
Tiger Char Koay Teow 老虎炒果条 is the well claimed one of the best char koay teow in Penang. Many places in Penang serve Tiger Char Koay Teow including OO Cafe. However, for me, I still love the stall located at Ping Hooi Cafe on Carnovan Street. This stall Char Koay Teow is fried by Tiger's wife and the koay teow is packed with chargrill flavor while the prawns are big and juicy. Moreover, for those that love duck eggs, they can be ordered to replace chicken eggs for a more bouncy and smooth texture.
Hua Nan 华南祖传阿牛 Wantan & Beef Brisket Noodle also known as Ah Gu Wantan Mee is located at Chulia Street Penang that has been up and running for 83 years since 1940. This stall of wantan mee is now operated by the grandson. The taste of wantan mee is canton style and it gives the feeling of classic and nostalgic. Many patrons still come back to this stall for just a glance of delightful wantan mee and gao lam (beef brisket) noodles.
Pitt Street Koay Teow Thng is one of the famous Koay Teow Thng in Penang that has been around for 60years. The original location of this Koay Teow Thng was at Pitt Street. It was moved to the new location at Carnarvon Street a few years back. One of the Specialists of this shop is the fish balls that are made of Eel Fish and the fish balls are homemade. Pitt Street Koay Teow Thng also selling Char Koay Teow now and the taste is promising too.
Narrow Marrow had been on our list for some time, and it truly did not disappoint when we finally visited it during this Penang trip. It’s definitely one of our favourite cafes in Penang.
Having a drink at Chatto regardless of which outlet is always nice, the environment is comfortable, service is good and i love the choice of drinks available there.
Lai H'ng Cafe offers a range of snacks, or specifically Teochew kuih that often available during Teochew opera show in those days. Of the 3 snacks, Mang Kuang Chai Kueh (RM 4) stand out to be the most impressive ones. It packs some crunchy jicama slices in the thin skins.
The main- Oyster Porridge was served to us piping hot and has a generous toppings of Shark's Meat, Dried Oyster, Pork Belly and some Chinese Fried Crullers. The Porridge was expertly seasoned and the portion was generous. There were real Dried Oyster pieces and not those chopped finely ones. While the toppings were generous, we still thought it was slightly overpriced.
