Initially hesitant about trying Siam Road Charcoal Char Kuey Teow due to trying a different CKT place, I eventually decided to give it a try. However, the experience wasn't the most pleasant due to the non-air-conditioned setting and an extensive queue. The uncle cooking the CKT prepared each plate individually, leading to a considerable wait.
Siam Road CKT remains close to the hearts of many.
Its good and ddfinitely Penang.
Here's the location.
Kwong Fu Chau served here is equally delicious. Its egg-based gravy is smooth and flavourful, packing a nice scent that compliments the combination of flat rice noodles and rice vermicelli well
The signature dish of Kwong Chiu is the KL-styled Hokkien Mee... otherwise known as Tai Lok Mee but Kwong Chiu's rendition is a little luxurious- with prawns and scallops added... as well as a handful of fresh greens. The flavor was alright but the Pork Lard aroma was not as overwhelming as compared to those in KL as though something was missing. The accompanying home-made Sambal Belacan on the other hand, was delicious and made a good combo
The Koay Teow Th'ng here is a decent choice. Personally, we liked the minced meat and the pork balls (additional request) but it was sad to learn the homemade fish balls had sold out. As for the soup, it was alright. If you prefer to go for the luxury version of Koay Teow, you may add on pork kidney, intestine, fish slices, egg or bacons in additional cost.
The signature dishes here are Curry Prawns (咖哩虾), Koay Teow Soup (粿条汤) and Toasted Bread (炭烧面包).
Next up, there is a new Char Koay Teow store in the coffee shop. Each plateful of noodles is stir-fried with black sauce, small cockles, prawns, bean sprouts, lap cheong (red Chinese sausage), and egg. The garnishing of chives (koo chye) perks up the dish.
我们会来到这里的原因全是因为看到网路上这个QQ的麻薯!
beautifully coated with Sesame and Peanut Sugar. Each order requires a minimum wait of 15 minutes. We expected the taste would be quite similar to Muar Chee (local delicacy) but it was not quite the case. Something was missing and we suspected it was because of the Peanut Powder, it gets pretty monotonous towards the end
Of all the varieties of dessert here, QQ Mochi Ice (RM 8.90) is unique and impressed us. It has mochi and black sesame topping a bowl of shaved ice. Though the overall combination sounds odd but it actually worked well. Elements of sweet and salty were combined altogether when you had the black sesame and peanut sesame together, and the shaved ice gave a cooling sensation overall.
Indulge in Penang's freshest and most reasonable prawns at HH Grill Bar located on Siam Road. As a prawn distributor turned restaurateur, the owner's commitment to freshness shines through in every dish. In this video, join me as I explore their signature Claypot Porridge Base Hot Pot.
On the visit, we were surprised with the serving of Orange Souffle. Not many cafes make souffle and almost none have the souffle flambee with liqueur on the spot. Passionis does and they do it with Grand Mariner – an orange cognac liqueur.
Recently Yan Yam Cafe 炎茶餐室 – 炒叻沙/东炎面 added a touch of coffee shop dining to the scene with a handful of hawker stalls. One of the stalls offers an interesting dish of Fried Laksa. This fried base noodle is slightly spicy, sweet and sour with a distinct aromatic and pungent flavour, just like the popular Penang Assam Laksa soup noodle.
If you want a local Penang version of loh mee, you can visit Kim Leng Loh Mee at Restoran Joo Huat at Perak Road Penang.
1119 Curry Mee Stall at Joo Huat Cafe is one of the curry mee selling in Penang that served non-santan (no coconut milk) at their base. The taste of the curry mee is as good as those that have included santan and it is packed with nostalgic and classic flavor. The blood cockles are fresh and juicy, while the soup is thick and aromatic, and the chili paste is packed with pungent. Overall the curry mee is worth the taste
The pancake taste good, the outer layer of the pancake is crunchy and the ingredient inside it is good too, though simple but I like it.
Tasty savoury fragrant KL style wanton noodles with tasty plump wantons.
Polo Bun with Butter (菠萝油) – RM4.50, a very typical Hong Kong pastry. The top of the bun was covered with slightly sweet crust while the inner of the bun was stuffed with a piece of creamy butter. In Penang, it is so difficult to get Polo Butter Bun. That is the reason I came to this cafe to try out the bun. It is in fact one of their best-sellers and usually sold out by noon. The top crust was so nice and the bun was soft and warm. Having it with soft and creamy butter was simply satisfying. This bun is perfect when it is served warm.
For the menu, although I thought that the price is wallet-friendly but the choices are limited.
Looking for a place to chill while having a good meal? Kraffmen Cafe is definitely the place to be.
St. Ali在墨尔本是一家相当有名气的咖啡馆,超高辨识度和知名度,这道菜式正是以这家咖啡馆名字命名
Along with a nice cosy ambiance to go with it. If you have not tried their desserts before, you should :)
Creamy tong-sui is showcased in the bubur cha cha, green bean sago, and the black glutinous rice, with the former cooked in coconut milk and the latter complemented by a topping of thick coconut milk.
New World City Food Court is located right in the heart of Georgetown. For me, point me to Penang Char Kway Teow and I will go for it! The version here is with Duck Egg and perfect. Wok Hei, not to…
Overall, most of the food here in New World Park Food City are great and delicious.
Tiger CKT is one of those famous CKT that located in a Old Coffee Shop in George Town, which is open for breakfast and lunch, perserving is RM7.50 at this date and time, comes with 2 large prawns, and will customize the CKT to your requirements. I would rate this place is as one of the Top CKT in town. (personal).
The Char Koay Teow may not look much different from the others, but it was really delicious, fragrantly fried with lots of “wok-hei” flavour! We suspected the use of duck egg made the delectable plate even more fragrant. It didn’t leave a very greasy feel too. Much better than the one we had from an unknown stall in Pulau Tikus the previous day!
The place was in in full swing on Sunday morning circa 10.00am and we were lucky to secure the last table or else we might need to wait table for hours according to Ken. We placed our order and wait patiently for our food to be served. There are other foods available in the coffee shop too such as prawn noodle (known as Hokkien Mee in Penang), Lor Bak and etc.
During my visit, i tried their thin crusted 10" pizza dough which is topped with napoli tomato paste, swiss gouda mozzarella cheese, oregano herbs, parsley, basil leaves or rockets and topping of smoked salmon, olive and onion. This pizza is tasty with its crunchy thin layer of dough. It is enough to fill up your tummy without making you feel bloated.
Teriyaki Chicken and Sesame Pasta was probably the best scorer of the day but it was a misnomer. We were expecting a dry Pasta with Teriyaki sauce as seasoning but it was in fact, a cream-based Pasta topped with Teriyaki Chicken. The sauce was alright- creamy and perfectly seasoned but the Linguine was slightly overcooked (a little too soft to our liking).
Another best brekkie specialty is the Grill Salmon & Scrambled Egg. A surprise indeed as its visual does not prepare one’s guests for the fish dish. The marinated salmon rolled into the shape of sausage goes through a grilling cooking process, and served with scrambled egg on top of a slice of wholemeal baguette. A tasty Hollandaise sauce prepared from egg yolks accompanies it well.
Ice Kacang is one of the best shaved ice desserts to have in Malaysia. Swatow Lane Ice Kacang in Jalan Burma, Penang has been making it in Penang, since 1923. The cafe now serves a variety of different ice kacang and other desserts. Their signature is the Ice Kacang with Fruits. Definitely one of the most refreshing and delicious desserts we have in Penang.
We ought to give the special among the special a try, thus we ordered a Ice Kacang Special at the premium price of RM 6. The regular ice kacang is topped with 3 fruits of the day, and one of the ice cream available (if we recall correctly, it would be either peanut or vanilla). Overall the combination worked well, not overly sweet, and shaved ice was smooth and not exhibiting the ice crystals that will cause displeasure to the tongue.
老板开店后,还有售卖美食,但是我们只是点了Laksa 和椰浆饭,价钱都还蛮大众化的,炸鸡椰浆饭RM5.50罢了哦!
Soul Cafe 也不例外,推出了四道邪恶的的圣诞精选!
Soul Cafe also caters special menu for events and celebrations.
Their food and coffee are pretty impressive as well as usual. And definitely not forgetting their lava cake lol.
The main highlight is obviously Roasted Turkey, which is served with sweet potatoes, chestnuts, vegetables, cranberry sauce and giblet gravy.
You may enjoy their theme buffet, the Grill, Rotisserie & Seafood Medley every Thursday and Friday (lunch 12pm - 3pm; dinner 6.30pm - 9.45pm) or Japanese and Seafood Galore themed Buffet every Saturday and Sunday (lunch 12pm - 3pm; dinner 6.30pm - 9.45pm). The weekend themed buffet lunch is priced at RM 72 nett (adult), RM 36 nett (child) and RM 51 nett (senior citizen) while buffet dinner is priced at RM 122 nett (adult), RM 61 nett (child) and RM 85 nett (senior citizen).
I highly recommend Durian Crème Brûlée too.
除了主食之外,他们也提供了好几种的小吃。若不想吃主食,不妨点一份厨师推介的娘惹式炸鸡翅,或肉厚烤香的鸡肉沙爹与友人一起分享。这里的松露薯泥也很可口,不妨一试哦~
The thick and fragrant curry, where the fish heads are cooking is said to be delicious. It goes very well with roti prata and will keep you wanting more.
Overall, Living Room offers a nice ambience to dine at. The taste of certain food here is nice especially the Kam Heong pasta and Red Wine Stew Beef which are my favorites. These dishes will be my in my order list when I visit next time.
