After our little kueh kueh tea break at Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay, we visited a Penangite Chinese friend to check out her very pretty ‘Secret Garden’. Checking out a local resident’s secret garden She didn’t just have green fingers but I thought she was really creative to use/recycle everyday items such as flip-flops, boots, […]

We came by New Lane Hawker Centre at Lorong Baru around 9pm for supper. It was super busy and crowded during this time. Had to search and wait for quite some time before we could get an available table. New Lane Hawker Centre – Operating Hours New Lane Hawker Centre operates from 4pm to 10pm […]

The clan jetties and their floating villages are some of the most popular places of interest in Penang. These villages that were built on stilts over water were established in the 19th century when Chinese immigrants came to Malaysia. Currently, there are six such jetties left in Penang. Five of them are differentiated by surnames […]

When I told Mervin that I wanted to go Siam Road for Charcoal Char Koay Teow, he asked me if I was prepared to wait for 1.5 – 2 hours. Well, not really as we had a jam-packed itinerary ahead of us. Even if I had the luxury of time, I probably still wouldn’t wait […]

Rise and shine on our third day in Penang. Our local foodie friend, Mervin brought us to Classic Cafe at Jalan Perak to try this popular Ah Koo’s Hokkien Mee. The kopitiam is located opposite Padang Brown Hawker Centre, which is also one of the locals’ favourite makan destinations. Many local residents would wake up […]

Headed back to George Town for more makan action right after our tour of Kek Lok Si Temple. Since coming to Penang, I found a new love i.e. nasi lemak. Especially those ordinary looking ones wrapped in banana leaves that come with to-die-for sambal chilli. My goodness, why is nasi lemak in Penang so shiok […]

After trying the extra long fried dough fritters at Te Chang You Tiao Wang, we headed back to the Air Itam Market area for a bowl of assam laksa at the popular Air Itam Laksa place. Both the locals and tourists love their assam laksa because they have been serving up authentic Penang laksa since […]

From Sister Curry Mee, we took a 10-minute walk along Jalan Paya Terubong to get to Te Chang You Tiao Wang, which specialises in fried dough fritters. As its name suggests, they don’t just make dough fritters, they make extra long ones. Their you tiao is approximately 14 inches long i.e. almost the length of […]

On Day 2 of our Penang makan trip, we had an early breakfast of CKT at Tiger Char Koay Teow, which was located in Ping Hooi Cafe on Carnarvon Street. They opened for business at 7.30am but only operated for about 6 hours. So if you want to include Tiger Char Koay Teow in your […]

If you’ve been to Penang before, you’ve probably tried Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul @ Lebuh Keng Kwee. It’s the most well-known chendol in Penang. Their chendol is one of the top things that I miss the most after each trip to Penang. Even though they have outlets in Johor Bahru, the taste isn’t the […]

We are off to Penang for a week’s worth of non-stop eating action! ✈️ Woohoo! If you’ve been following my blog, you probably would have read my previous posts on Penang, which is one of my favourite places to visit in Malaysia. Besides cafe-hopping, enjoying local eats and getting snapshots of street art, there are […]

We set off early in the morning to make our way to Johor Bahru. Thought there would be a lot of people going in and that traffic would be heavy but it wasn’t so. Didn’t take us long at all to cross the Causeway. Arrived at City Square at around 9am and the mall wasn’t […]

Before Northpoint City and Yishun Park Hawker Centre sprung up in the northern town of Yishun, I had never really hung out in the neighbourhood much or specifically made trips there to eat something. Nothing there really interested me previously even though I don’t live that far away. 😛 Of course, now it’s a different […]

I’m still kinda tickled by the title of this blog post. ? Well, I’m probably one of the few people in Singapore who has blacklisted the ‘famous’ SabX2 Wanton Noodle that’s located on Soi Phetchaburi 19 in Bangkok. Seriously, who needs SabX2 when you have tastier Thai wanton mee back at home? And I’m talking […]

Update: KL Delight Seafood Restaurant has ceased operations. I first came across KL Delight Seafood Restaurant on Qoo10 some time back when they were having this $9.90 sea bass promotion. Yes, $9.90 for a 600g-700g sized sea bass and you can take your pick from 11 cooking styles that include sweet & sour, Thai, Teochew and […]

Earlier I had shared about my experience with honestbee food delivery service which was launched a couple of months back. I also mentioned that one of my favourite eateries to order food from was Ming Fa Fishball at Ang Mo Kio. And it is still so because I can’t seem to find a decent bak […]
