Pinxin also does a range of vegan sauces and condiments. We actually intended to head back to pick some of these up, but ran out of time. Never mind; we’ll definitely go back when we are next allowed to travel to Penang.
It is a lovely place with many seating places to choose from. The environment is nice and comfortable.
品馨蔬食館秉持着為顧客的味覺找到原味的信念烹飪料理,在檳城四條路營業了半年。
We tried Dry AhMa Pan Mee and Curry AhMa Pan Mee, and absolutely loved its unique noodle texture - solid yet al-dente. We personally enjoyed the dried version due to the perfectly balance seasoning that yields an aromatic flavour - not too heavy nor too light.
Here's the location.
Noodles are deeply rooted in our culinary consciousness, there is no one size fits all. There are a lot of varieties on offer and they can come in different size, color, shape, texture as well as flavor. Typically, Pan Mee (a type of Hakka Noodles) is served in the shape of thin, round and smooth texture but Ah Ma Pan Mee, a newly opened Pan Mee specialist at 4th Street Club (Tye Sin Street) decides to do things differently. Using traditional recipe from Pahang, the noodle joint offers Pan Mee in its own style. While the soup bases and condiments are similar, the noodles stand out. They come in irregularly fat-round shape with al-dente (slightly chewy and bouncy) texture. The menu is not big but the air-conditioned restaurant offers a comfortable dining space for hungry diners to have a quick fix; definitely a place where fans of Pan Mee should check out.
While savories are the focus, the menu also serves warm sweet Chinese tongsui, with choices of red bean soup and peanut soup.
Thai Milk Tea is my favorite Thai Drinks and is really nice that Chern Ka is serving them.
Those fared well were the Thai-styled Grilled Pork Meat and Cha Omh. The former one had a tender-meaty texture with a delightful smokiness to it.
The only thing that rescue the night was Moo Ping (RM 3 / piece, min 2 pieces) as the pork skewers were nicely grilled with a nice char scent.
这里是有室内与室外的。室内有冷气,空间也宽敞,没有压迫感。
What better way to warm your bodies and stuff yourself with tasty food other than having Steamboat (Hot Pot)? This new kid in town has fast become one of the favorites for mid-class dwellers; with up to 8 types of soup bases to choose from. Classic soup bases like Pig Bone Soup and Tom Yum are available with a few exquisite and innovative offering for the adventurous, worth-mentioning are Milk Cheese Soup, Green Spicy Soup, Spicy Milk Soup etc. Soup bases aside, Tu Go Liang stands out in terms of the variety of steamboat offering; notable highlights include their home-made Yong Tofu, various types of Fish and Meat Balls, vegetables, meat and seafood. The atmosphere is casual here- the heat intolerant may opt to dine-in the air-conditioned room while those who prefer a more outdoorsy ambiance could choose the al-fresco dining area.
Nothing overly exciting but basic, staple home-cooked dishes. The seasoning was minimal and all of the dishes were nicely cooked (none of them were disappointing), a pretty safe option for those looking a dine-out spot (especially for those on vegetarian diet).
While not exactly a maid café (メイド喫茶), Dream Mansion is certainly popular among the young crowd.
In here, you can dine comfortably and even meet new friends who might have the same interest as you.
Temari Bento amused us from its presentation but we suggest sharing, the huge portion of Rice will be too overwhelming for some. Unlike classic Sushi, the Temari Bento consists of some new, funky Sushi. Some examples would be Turkey Bacon Sushi, Pop Corn Chicken Sushi or Tempura Prawn Sushi etc. The flavor combo has not been too bad, or the fact that the Sushi Rice was well-cooked and seasoned.
Blooms is a Pink Theme concept cafe with simple decoration which look classy and fully loaded with Pink, haha !
We had their Blue Moon and thought that the concoction was rather refreshing... the sweetness was perfectly balanced as well while the Cheese foam introduced a sleek creaminess and saltiness; the overall flavor-combination was quite good, though I would reconsider if I am willing to pay Rm 18 for that again
For Western dish, look no further for Cashew Basil Pesto Spaghetti (RM 18). The chef prepare the al-dente angel hair spaghetti noodles coated with a house blend of Pesto sauces, then topped with cashew basil. It induces a nice and moderate herby scent that had the creaminess elevated with the cashew nuts. It is a solid evidence that spaghetti can be prepared in vegan way without compromising its taste.
The name "Moody Cow Cafe" is widely known amongst dessert lovers in Penang, for serving some of the best yet innovative Cheese Cakes in town (Salted Egg Cheese Cake/ Cempedak Cheese Cake are some of its signature products); the brand is also notoriously known to serve some of the most expensive Cheese Cakes in Penang. But the Cheese Cake specialist has recently ventured out of its norm... opening a new cafe- "Sweet Monster Cafe" at 4th Street Club of Tye Sin Street. From the most expensive Cheese Cake in town to.... potentially the most expensive Pie in town (from Rm 30 per piece); from "Cow" to... "Monster"; the only thing unchanged is their willingness to innovate and to come with new flavors and combination. The cafe offers a small Pasta menu with an array of home-made Pies and Cookies... with most of them come with hefty price tags. The exterior of Sweet Monster Cafe does not give a single hint on what the place would serve, once you are inside, you will find the classical visual arts and decorative of ancient European... with soft background music that we would not know how to appreciate. Nevermind on the ambiance, their Pies truly standout on their own...
Tucked amist Georgetown, Aromas Cafe ensconced in one of the restored heritage houses along Tye Sin Street (also known as the 4th Street); Aromas is a simple cafe with small offering (both mains and desserts); for mains, expect to see a range of local delights such as Fried Rice, Fried Noodles/ Vermicelli Noodles and similar lackluster offering)... though we hear that they are of mediocre quality. Cake lovers might be overjoyed to know that Aromas offers an array of home-baked Cakes. The interior decor and their offering are of a huge mismatch; there are heavy Nyonya elements in the cafe- with seemingly priceless antiques and old-fashioned tiles. Nevertheless, we'd see the place as a dessert-eccentric cafe in lieu of a place offering mains (the mains lacked the pull-factor anyway); cakes-aside, be sure to check out their daily variety of fresh bakes (of pies and other sweet treats).
For a plate of straight-forward, simple but delicious Chinese Noodles (somewhat similar to Mee Pok), make your way to Lebuh Tye Sin. Housed in one of the heritage houses along the 4th Street (Lebuh Tye Sin), the unpretentious stall manned by a Chinese lady opens as early as 7 am. Expect no sophisticated setting but a few simple tables and chairs placed outside of their residence. The stall has limited offering but good enough to satisfy even those with stubborn palate.
The savouries (i to iv, vii) were really interesting, in particular i, iii and iv. II was really pretty too. Overall an interesting fusion experience, with much Indian influence.
Their tasting menu mainly revolves around the produce-driven concept, to recreate nostalgic flavours using bold innovative cooking methods.
Reasons to visit Communal Table by Gen 根: inventive contemporary Malaysian cuisine; serious portions that are perfect for sharing; highly recommend gourmets from the globe pay a visit
The name "Tok Tok" originates from the onomatopoeic sound a chef makes while kneading noodle dough with a bamboo pole, a tradition still observed at the entrance of this establishment.
The taste of the wantan mee are almost the same as before despite the chewiness of the noodle not as much and the gravy is more starchy. As for the Char Hor Fun, the taste is packed with wok aroma.
Tok Tok Mee Noodle House, used to known as Hong Kee Wantan Noodle now is operate by the next generation where the legacy of bamboo noodle was passed down. The taste of the wantan mee are almost the same as before despite the chewiness of the noodle not as much and the gravy is more starchy. As for the Char Hor Fun, the taste is packed with wok aroma.
The moment you enter the aesthetically rustic space, thou shall sense that this is the perfect spot for any coffee aficionado- particularly specialty coffee. The soothing coffee aroma that is wafting through the air easily set your mood at ease. And that makes it the perfect moment to slowly unwind the day with a good cuppa along some hearty nosh.
Olive Oil Zucchini Bread (MYR 13) Comes with some sea salt sprinkles and whirl of smooth crème fraîche.
Both Cafe Latte (H) and (I) taste simply delicious. A beautiful combination of coffee and almond milk that packs a punch, delicious and smooth. In addition, what I love about this cafe is that they don't charge extra for Almond Milk. Sounds great right.
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.
Nevertheless, we are sold and would come back again for their croissant, and to try its other offerings.
That Sunday morning, weather was lovely that after waking up at the cozy bed of Deluxcious Hotel, we immediately retun to Le Petit for another round of visit, haha.
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.
Koay Teow Th'ng is flat rice noodles, served in soup. It is topped with their homemade Eel Fishballs, pork meat that has been minced and flattened, and we were surprised to find some golden deep-fried Pork Lards in the bowl as well. The noodles were silky smooth, every ingredient is in perfect harmony. The Eel fishball though has a slightly different texture than the usual fishball bounciness, we can taste the delicate sweetness of the eel itself. It is definitely a hearty bowl of delicious Koay Teow Th'ng!
The broth was out of this world. Subtly rich with the extract from the bones.
Besides the Teochew-style noodle, you can go all the way through to the Steamed Hor Fun with Groupa Fish Fillet and Roasted Pork with Crispy Noodle.
L Kitchen is a place where it’s suitable for all ages.
Overall, the food here was nice and some of the dishes were unique. However, certain dishes had a sweet ending
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.
Narrow Marrow is now open in Beach Street as of 30th July 2020.
There is the dirty bourbon tiramisu, and the kahlua tiramisu. The latter with the kahlua coffee-flavored liqueur leaves one with a feeling of contentment
