To be frank, it was more coconut milk than the gula melaka that made up the overall taste. I would have prefer more gula melaka given we were in its place of origin! Nevertheless, I do enjoy the green stuff which had an appetizing saltiness complementing its alkaline flavor, and the crunchy beans.
This place is way too popular, we came before the shop opened and was the first batch to went in. Service is great, food is good and the environment is nice. So it is popular for good reasons.
We ordered not one but three... no sharing... The fresh santan, the fresh green cendol and the gula melak makes a great combination!
3 bowls of yummy-licious Cendol with cream corn.

Next, we have the Famosa Signature Steam Chicken (half portion) RM22.00 – Hainanese style steam chicken lightly drizzled with soy sauce, parsley and cucumber. The steam chicken is a huge success throughout this meal, succulent tender and juicy at each bite, as expected when they only use chicken meat from Bukit Mertajam, which is well-known for its free-range chicken! 😉
No trip to this marvellous Malaysian outpost is complete without a visit to the weekend night market, held along the length of Jonker Street every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The pasta, which has spaghetti with mushroom, chicken ham and crunchy smoked duck topped with a poached egg and shaved parmesan, is delicious. The noodles are cooked al dente, giving them a nice bite, and the sauce is creamy without being overwhelming.
I had the Mamee in Kuah Lodeh, which is the creamy, coconut-rich gravy that is usually served with lontong (compressed rice) – only they replaced it with noodles, of course! Portions were generous; there was plenty of shrimp and tofu to soak up the delicious broth, topped with half a boiled egg. The noodles were springy with a slight bite.
We wrap up the whole meal with a plate of stir-fry cabbage RM3.00 (RM1.50 per head) since the lady boss highly recommends to us, just decided to have it since it was cheap and need to meet our fiber intake quota for that day. 😉 Guess our tongue was malfunctioning because we really felt that the stir-fried cabbage was the best dish we had throughout the meal (the first dish we cleared in Hoe Kee), cabbage has an irresistible crunchy texture and tend to be less greasy, super sweet and flavourful with a delightful scent of garlic – with this dish alone guess we can clear a plate of plain rice without any problem!
