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.
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
♥Verdict: The toasts was nicely toasted with pleasant smokey aroma, however it was just decent, as though it was just and ordinary toasts that can be found in many Kopitiams. The same goes for the half boiled egg and black coffee, perhaps their signature Hainanese Coffee is something that we should’t miss. =.=’
This is Toh Soon Cafe’s specialty. Lightly overcooked soft-boiled eggs lying atop charcoal grilled buttery toasts — what a combination!
Toast & Egg were delicious as well with some extra dash of black pepper and soy sauce.
One can enjoy a piping hot plate of Tai Loke Mee KL Hokkien Char at RM9. Stir-fried in black sauce with crispy pork lard, seafood, and cabbage; the noodle dish comes very close to those sold in KL. The thick noodle has just the right softness making it enjoyable with the accompanying red chili sauce.
The stir fried noodles was fried to possess a nice subtle charcoal flavour (wok hei), along with a well controlled oil factor which was just right on point. Seasoning was nicely done, and the sambal chili given was perfect to introduce a slight heat component and a touch of tanginess.
Basically, i like everything here, i love the food, like the environment and service is good too.
Here's the location.
The 蛋挞 "Egg Tart" is the signature dish here, not the usual round shape but instead oval shaped and not too sweet, nice! The 猪肉肠粉 "Rice Noodle" also surprisingly different, with I believe comes with pork filling.
We had a plate of steamed hor fun (RM 9). It comes with the usual hor fun and noodles and drenched to a sauce, akin to the gravy served along steamed fish. The aroma was irresistible and the taste was alright.
The crew recommended us to have Braised Pork Hand (RM 28) and it was never disappointing. Served with half pork hand and cooked with elusive starchy gravy, the pork knuckles meat is tender and comes with a lot of gelatin. Although both of us did not know how to appreciate gelatin, we did find the gelatin part here enjoyable in taste. The starchy gravy makes a good gravy for a plain rice.
On the other hand, Mun Thung Signature (RM 4.50) was worthy mention, especially on its usage of crushed peanuts and sugar that made a good filling to the bun.
On mains, we had Crispy Chicken Dry Noodle and Curry Chicken Char Bee Hoon. Both were quite good- the former dish was imbued with the fragrance of Pork Lard, lightly flavored and the real draw was the al-dente noodles.
Flavorful and simply delicious is the spicy pork feet ramen with chunks of pretty tender pork feet.
玻璃叉烧的脂肪呈半透明,叉烧肉整体的咀嚼口感相当好。
One of their signature dishes- Beef Tenderloin Stew with Jiang Xi Noodles, was somewhat like dry version of Taiwanese Beef Noodles, ladled over a thick, rich meat sauce. The sauce carried a bold beefy taste but unlike the commonly used Ramen-like noodles, Culinary Exploration uses finer, smoother version. In fact, a little too soft to our liking. It did not come across as a dish that would leave people with a deep impression, nor it was disappointing.... just nothing out of the ordinary
Culinary Exploration 食途老马, Campbell Street, Penang catches the eye from the street with its red signboard. Located in two shoplots facing the adjacent Jalan Kuala Kangsar, the outlet brings Chinese cuisine and a great range of Chinese tea to the neighborhood. At the entrance, you’ll find a modest space featuring the kitchen which serves up selections of mains and snacks.
My personal favorite is their Combo Set Fried Chicken which i have the freedom to choose 1 type of sauce that i like and 2 side dish of which i choose Honey Mustard as the sauce to pair with sides of Butter Corn and Potato Salad. The side dish is in small serving but 6 piece of Boneless Fried Chicken is more than enough for me, though the size is small. In terms of taste, it is tasty, especially when i am a fan of Honey Mustard, the fried chicken goes so well with it.
One of the oldest Chinese food joints in Penang- Hon Kei needs no further introduction; the brand is known for serving Pork Noodles and has a newly refurnished restaurant along Lorong Kampung Malabar but not many are aware about its sister restaurant- Hon Kei Campbell Food Corner (汉记小食店). Right behind the main restaurant, Hon Kei Campbell Food Corner is accessible from Campbell Street and offers a slightly different and smaller menu compared to the main branch. Expect to see some Cantonese stir-fry dishes here along with Spicy Soup Noodles and Curry Fish Head. The place is not necessarily more spacious but the fact that it is air-conditioned makes it a more comfortable dining space, especially for the heat-intolerant. Menu is not the only difference here, we noticed the prices are slightly more expensive, probably due to the air-conditioner factor.
