The omelette is packed with charcoal fire aroma while the oysters are fresh and juicy. The combination of these two is a perfect match.

There are still many nice food to be discovered at this place soon.

This stall's lam mee is Nyonya style, which is different from the regular lam mee. This stall is operating from midnight until early morning the next day.

In this video, we're excited to introduce you to Perak Road's latest culinary treasure, 饭100 槟城快餐店 (rice100 Restoran Pulau Pinang).
Ah Theam Economic Rice stall has been serving economic rice to the public since 1952 and now has moved to a New location which is a few shops across the road. The varieties here are still plentiful and the siew bak (roast pork) and dao ewe bak (soy sauce meat) are still tip-top. This is just the first day of their operation at the new shop. It is one of the places for varieties of dishes and economic rice stalls.
Overall, the food is delicious and the portion is big, worth the money.
Join me on a journey through the streets of Penang as we uncover a culinary treasure that has stood the test of time – Lian Seng Oyster Porridge. With over 40 years of perfecting their craft, Lian Seng's charcoal oyster porridge is a taste of nostalgia, reminiscent of the traditional flavors that define Penang's rich culinary heritage.
Lye Lye Food Court 新来来饮食中心 at Jalan Terengganu is one of the places in town that is packed with great food not just during the morning session but during the evening dinner session, there are also many delicious Penang street food available
Wantan Mee located inside Lye Lye Food Court 新来来饮食中心 at Jalan Terengganu is one of the top-rated stalls in Penang. Have been up and running for 18 years. The texture of the wantan mee is quite bouncy while the sambal (chili paste) is also very spicy and savory. Another attraction is the deep-fried wantan that is crispy and yummy.
So what will enjoy here? first up is a plate of Delicious Succulent Roast Pork, among the best in Penang, with Crispy Skin.
Nasi Lemak is probably the only main dish available at Sin Boon Kee, but it comes in 2 different variants- Fish and Chicken. We opted for the latter one, it was not the typical battered Fried Chicken but more like Kampung-styled spiced Fried Chicken. It carried a very strong spice flavor and worked well with the Nasi Lemak (with hint of Coconut Milk). A pity that the Sambal was not as spicy as we would have hoped though
Sin Boon Kee (SBK) is the an old and famous coffee specialty store in Penang that sells thousands of bottled coffee and tea every month to all over Malaysia. Their famous Hor Kar Sai (chocolate malt mixes with coffee) is a must-try. Besides serving their famous beverages in store, they serve kaya butter toasts, nasi lemak, polo bun and such too. Currently the store is located in Jalan Jelutong.
If you are looking for a more stomach filling, the only option here will be Nasi Lemak, which you can have additional toppings such as prawns or fried chicken. Nevertheless, it was mediocre in taste and still has a margin to match those simple yet delicious street nasi lemak.
Overall, burger was nice but on a personal preference level, we would hoped for presence of onions and more shredded vegetables being added. One more thing we could not understand is the absence of egg. Bearing a premium price of RM 6.50 (normal chicken burger) yet egg was absence, this is something we could not understand.
I guess for the past 4 months, anything related to cheese is a crazy big hype. It is the same as when I was at Penang past 2 weeks and decided to make a visit to this new crazy hype or we all known as our classic street burger or ramlee burger in Penang is now evolve to another level. Street Grill, Burger Bakar that is located at Sungai Pinang, Penang is a classic burger bakar version that is infuse with chese! Only operating for about 2 months and the hype is over the roof.
Here's the location.
We all know sashimi ain’t cheap and a lot of Japanese restaurants charge a hefty price for fresh salmon sashimi.
Kenko offers delivery service too! So you can definitely enjoy their delicious meals wherever you are.
I feel that the Roti Canai Ayam Special suites its name for being special, haha !
其实“泉州小厨”除了炒粉类之外,还有煮炒,至于菜色方面,你们可以稍微看看这菜单哦,有几道菜色蛮不错的,有顾客必点的猪脚醋、姜鸭等等
One of the item that we enjoyed here is Kiam Bak (香酥咸肉 / RM 12 for 2 pax ). It has a slight crisp texture and a tad briny taste that made this simple dish a good pairing for any noodles or rice. If you prefer a less meaty taste, dip those kiam bak into the spicy and sour sauce provided. The meat has a relatively big portion of fatty meat though.
The Prawn Fritter was a show-stopper; crispy with juicy Prawn, the batter ratio was just perfectly done, it was simple but addictive
Sushi Ya offers Sushi at RM1.90 and RM2.90. Due to the relatively low price, it's quite popular among residents in Jelutong. It was crowded during my visit. However, the sashimi they served are not really that fresh. You can see from the maguro sushi below. I guess this is a trade-off for the price. Well, if you're not into raw fish, this might be a good place for you to have economical sushi.
Lovers of Sushi, Maki and Nigiri might be glad to know or not that Sushi Ya has opened a new outlet in Penang island. The brand is well-established at Raja Uda and is known for its economical offering. Many budget eaters flocked the place when it was first opened; the new branch at Straits Garden, Jelutong is highly visible from the bustling Jelutong Street. But how economical is economical, you wondered? The items run on the Sushi Belt are priced either at Rm 1.90 (for pink plates) and Rm 2.90 (for red plates); while those on the menu are priced relatively lower than most Japanese restaurants in town. The trade off is of course the quality, which equates to the prices- cheap. Oddly, though the prices seem cheap, the final bill came to (4) us was slightly over Rm 150 (plus surcharges). There was no satisfaction at all; unless required, we do not see ourselves patronizing the place in the future.
Despite too many stalls, we have managed to select 2 types of food to check out this round. The Hokkien Mee and also Char Koay Teow here. The Hokkien Mee is the classic version that is cooked with charcoal, it is so yummy that the soup is thick and flavourful. The 147-stall Char Koay Teow is also another highlight. This stall allows diners to bring their catch to add to their Char Koay Teow. Frying with wok aroma, this is the modern version of delicacy.
Coming to this food court, somehow brings nostalgia. Somehow, eating in medan selera was never me or my dad's cup of tea, but this one, there is an exception for me. The food here are generally tasty, unlike some of the nice looking and clean food courts in Penang whereby the food is not tasty.
Another new dish is Oven Grilled Squid (RM 28) that best reflects Malaysian cuisine culture. The squid is cooked to perfection - firm and chewy, but not rubbery, which is easily sliced with a light touch of knife. It is coated with sweet sauce with a hint of spiciness which is soothing to the palate.
D' Fat Mona Lisa primarily serves coffee and Western dishes.
The large premises can accommodate over 100 guests. Food can be served in a buffet setting.
Prik Ki Nu, this Thai restaurant that served Mookata back in those days is now serving Thai Style cooking and frying dishes. The cooking of the Prik Ki Nu is by the real Siamese from Thailand. The dishes are mostly hot and spicy. The volcano pork ribs here are very spicy and exciting. The lemon-steamed seafood here also shows the Thai representative to diners. The pickled radish and the Kailan Stir Fried Salted Fish are also recommended for those not in favor of hot and spicy.
相当正宗的一家泰式餐厅哟!
Food here comes in big portion and it is tasty too. I ordered their Ssambap set which comes with Samgyupsal, a big bowl of Kimchi Stew, Rice and Vegetables. The meat is tasty and the Kimchi Stew is nice.
For Rm 21, diners get to enjoy both Tteokbokki and Kimbap as a set. Kimbap tasted fine but the Tteokbokki sauce was a little diluted, as in it was a little watery and not thick enough to cling onto the Korean Rice Cake. Instead of being sweet, it carried a peculiar spiciness and we found out why.... they have included Bird's Eyes Chilies. The Spicy Korean Fried Chicken was not any better either, though the texture was legit, they possessed a peculiar fermented Soy flavor which we were quite fond of. In terms of sweetness and spiciness, we thought they were alright. A little hits and misses but given the wallet-friendly price points, we thought the place is worth-trying, at least for novelty experience.
The area of Jelutong is fast becoming a Vietnamese food hub, with the opening of a few Vietnamese restaurants in the vicinity. Little Ha Noi takes a strategic lot opposite to the market, highly visible from the bustling Perak Road. The Vietnamese restaurant has an impressive spread though... with easily more than 100 types of dishes on offer- the quintessential Pho, Spring Rolls, Baguette, Steamboat, Banh Xeo and whatever you can think of. The bright and charming facade exudes a welcoming vibe, while the interior decor delivers a different result- homey with shades of Chinese restaurants and the Vietnamese handicrafts and knick-knacks adorned the walls. Most of the servers do not speak local dialects but the Cashier does understand Mandarin. While we did not manage to try a lot of their dishes, most of them were above average and we were more than happy with the serving portion. A place that I would love to make another visit whenever I crave for Vietnamese eats.
10/10 would recommend this place.
