Air Itam Sister Curry Mee Chee Cheong Fun at Air Itam Penang Malaysia
The famous Sister Curry Mee was founded by two iconic sisters in Air Itam, Penang since 1946. They're now in their late 80s and the stall has been taken over by their grandniece. We're fortunate that the curry mee stall will continue to serve this iconic dish in its original recipe brought down from the sisters
The soup not really thick but it have the aromatic hint of coconut and curry blend in it. The bowl of curry mee is served with the noodles, cuttle fish, coagulated pig blood and tauhu-pok and the curry paste. Indulge this sinfully addictive bowl of curry noodles and you will totally in love with them.
Located in the heart of Farlim, Penang, Genting Restaurant stands as a testament to the rich culinary heritage of the region. With its unassuming facade and inviting aromas wafting through the air, this eatery has been drawing locals and visitors alike for its delectable Jawa Mee. What truly sets this place apart, however, is not just its scrumptious offerings but also its unwavering commitment to providing affordable street food without compromising on taste or quality.
This so cheap. Where else can you get such cheap Jawa Mee? Haha
Well everything here is good and the pricing is also very reasonable. Thumb up to Dragon Phoenix Seafood.
My verdict : With its 4 ringgit per bowl price, everything’s worth it! The sour tamarind sauce, the salty and thick fish stock blended so well with chillies and the herbs and noodles and everything on it! Thankfully, I had the chance to understand the logic of CNN in naming Penang Assam Laksa as 7th out of 50 Most Delicious Foods in the World! It was indeed, delicious!
My Penang laksa. The soup base is very flavorful and filled with generous amount of flaked mackerels. The 'ha-ko'/ thick prawn paste amplify the flavor of this dish much, much more. Sweet, sourish taste with refreshing mint and onion slices stimulates all my taste buds!
不过，随着《自在饭店》因为疫情影响，宣布结业后，心里还是感到不舍和唏嘘。
Overall, Zi Zai Restaurant offers a nice dining experience and offers a reminiscence of home cook style dishes, as their restaurant signboard also suggests the title "ko zha bi". The taste still lingering in my taste buds during recalling and it truely reflects the authentic home cook dishes. Price and quantity is user friendly at the same time and it would be an excellent choice for family dine in. Plenty of parking spaces available but the numbers of tables in the restaurant is somehow limited but I believe extra tables can be added at the external area of the restaurant.

Leong Hee Seafood (龙禧海鲜小馆) is a proud Penang brand that stands the test of time, established in the 70's, Leong Hee specializes in catering services (wedding or occasions); the extended branch at Paya Terubong is well-received by the residents living nearby. Like most Chu Char places in Penang, it offers quite an extensive local Chinese delights but at unbeatable prices. The place is often full on weekends and the regular patrons would make their reservation in advance so if you have something particular in mind, it is suggested that you make advance reservation to beat the queue too. Leong Hee Seafood is a stall operating in 1997 Coffee House along Jalan Paya Terubong.
Mookata Thai Traditional BBQ Steamboat 滿鍋大 is a stall at Kedai Kopi 1997 that opens during dinner hours. Here's the location.
I was also reminded next round not to miss the big blanched cockles here which are not available to the masses but only to select restaurants.
We wanted a dish that comprises all Seafood elements... and we were introduced to their White Tom Yum. It consisted Prawns, Squid and chunks of Fish Meat; flavor was robust with a good balance of sourness and saltiness, with a gentle spicy kick. With the fresh, juicy Seafood, the White Tom Yum was quite addictive and best spooned over rice.
这个BBQ Lady Finger是我们的寄宿家庭推荐。美味，但我个人更喜欢它更辣。
The taste of the Laksa is refreshing and delightful, one of the good Laksa in Penang that must try.
Assam Laksa consists of a fish broth cooked with Tamarind (Asam Gelugor), it is served with the white laksa noodles, topped with pineapples, cucumber slices, chopped onions, torch ginger, mint leaves, sliced chillies, and a spoon of prawn paste goodness known as har gao. The bowl of Assam laksa here is very well-balanced flavour, it is a combination of sweet, sour and spicy, with lots of texture from the different ingredients. It is simply a bowl of delicious noodles!
I will definitely go back to Lao Fu Tze Bak Kut Teh when ever i am craving for Bak Kut Teh, haha !
This koay kak only cost RM 3.80! Very cheap, tasty and superb! They really cut it into small pieces. Just nice in terms of not salty, and still has a lot of chai poh. Another good thing is the egg is done not that well done, which is how I liked it!
Here's the location.
Hailed by many as one of the best local longtime fixture for Dim Sum in the neighborhood of Farlim/ Air Hitam, K.K. Dim Sum Garden (佳佳点心苑) is usually packed with extended families, neighborhood regular patrons and adventurous foodies during peak hours (8 am to 11 am) in the weekends. It has the classic Malaysian Dim Sum joint setting- with simple tables and chairs being set up by the road side while the aged servers pushing the Dim Sum carts or carrying the Dim Sum baskets around. K.K is said to be one of the earliest Dim Sum joints in the neighborhood and its opening can be traced back to at least a decade ago. Do not expect a big variety but some straight-forward, unassuming timeless but solid Dim Sum favorites with one or two unique in-house specialties.
Air Itam Duck Rice located in Air Itam Market Annex Wet Market is one of the hidden gem in Penang. Its Duck rice is loved by locals, and we can see why! The duck meat has been beautifully braised till it is tender and flavour infused into the meat and the pork melts as soon as we put in our mouth.
Overall, Modern Asia Kitchen is a decent place to enjoy good dim sum.
The Fried Shrimp Rolls left us with the deepest impression, unlike any Shrimp Rolls, Modern Asia Kitchen uses some pastry skin (almost similar to McD's pie skin) instead of the customary beancurd sheet; the filling was generously filled with bouncy, juicy Shrimps. It was dangerously addictive and definitely pleasant on the palate.
🍲 Join us on a flavorful journey to 2828 Asam Laksa, a hidden gem located at Jalan Pasar, Air Itam, Penang. In this foodie adventure, we're diving into a world of mouthwatering delights that truly capture the essence of Penang's culinary heritage.
The taste of the curry mee is milky, packed with coconut milk flavor, savory and spicy. I love the thick and aroma soup that make this curry mee delicious.
One of the delicious yet refreshing koay teow thng is located at the round about of Air Itam, it is just infront of Lye Lye Food Court. The taste of the soup is clear and nice, it is packed with fried garlic flavor. It makes people going for more.
The braised Egg and Tofu on the other hand, were good
Service here is good and the environment is comfortable too, there are a lot of seating place in door and out door.
