Hock Seng Rojak @ Penang
Hock Seng Rojak, the self proclaimed Rojak King. The small white board under their signboard, they also boast that their Rojak is world no.1 taste! However, how many times had we seen that restaurants and stall claimed that they are the best but utterly failed in the end? This is not the case for Hock Seng Rojak.
Their Rojak is really really good. The prawn sauce is extremely thick. Besides, they add in not only peanuts but dried shrimps too, which make the rojak taste even better! However, I find it a bit too spicy when I ate it the 1st time, but slowly it become OK. 8.0/10
Sky Hotel Char Siew @ Penang
Sky hotel, such a nice name, but don’t be fooled by its name. Sky hotel is just a budget of the budget hotel, which is also some place I will never stay in it. No offense to those backpackers out there, but I will rather not to travel if you want me to stay in this type of place.
However, I am still here at Sky hotel located at Chulia street, just because of the famous Char Siew rice here.
When I ordered the Char Siew, I was asked, fat or lean, and I regretted very much by ordering the lean version. The Char Siew is good, but it’s too lean leading to not juicy enough. 7.0/10
Kheng Pin Loh Bak @ Penang
Loh bak is something that most Penangtie like to order when eating their main such as Hokkien Mee, Char Koay Teow, Curry Mee and many others. Loh Bak is actually marinated minced pork wrapped with bean-curd, but when people order, they will usually also order other such as fried beancurd, prawn fritters, century egg and many others.
However, these days, even in Penang, it’s quite hard to find really good Loh Bak, and luckily Kheng Pin Cafe at Penang road still able to maintain it’s standards after years. The variety here is quite a lot compare to others, and each piece is very crispy. Besides, the flour here is not overwhelming until you can only taste flour but not the meat itself. 7.7/10
The old uncle is busying preparing to serve almost every table in the coffee shop.
Green House Hokkien Mee @ Penang
Green house Hokkien Mee, located at Burmah road, was regarded as one of the best Hokkien Mee by many Penangties. One of the specialty here is you can opt for many extra ingredients such as “pai kuat“, roasted pork and many others, which makes the Hokkien Mee more yuummy.
Not only the coffee shop was named Green House, but the Hokkien Mee stall is also in bright green color. However, to me, this bowl of Hokkien Mee is really so so only, really nothing to shout about despite it’s fame. However, can’t deny that the roasted pork here is good. 6.0/10
Bus Station Beef Noodle @ Sungai Petani
According to many people, in Sungai Petani, there’s only 1 place where the beef noodle there is worth eating, which is the one at the bus station of Sungai Petani. However, shame on me, I never heard of it until recently, someone who was not born and breed in Sungai Petani, neither he stayed in Sungai Petani before told me this, and only after that I found out that almost everyone in Sungai Petani know about it, besides me…….
It was sold by a pair of uncle aunty, and they had been selling it for more than 20 years.
Kimberley Street Koay Chap @ Penang
Kimberley street in Penang is full with great food especially at night, and the koay chap here, is just amazing.
Joez Coconut Jelly @ Penang
Coconut jelly is already something quite special and rare, but Joez coconut serve something even more special as the jelly is inside the coconut itself!
I will pick this over any other normal coconut stall that sell fresh coconut water as it was served cold. Besides, this type of coconut is usually sweeter than those big green coconut, hence it make this coconut jelly way more refreshing than the normal one.
Sao Nam Vietnamese Cuisine @ Tengkat Tong Shin Kuala Lumpur
Years ago, I been to this great restaurant, where I ate something special there, the Mangosteen Salad. Yes, you heard it right, it’s mangosteen. Being a great mangosteen lover, I always wanted to try it again, but always failed to find back the shop, until recently, at Tengkat Tong Shin….
The mangosteen salad @ RM32. Man this is really nice. The mangosteen itself is fresh and sweet, eat it with the prawns and it’s whao!! Really great stuff to open your appetite! 9/10
Restaurant Yong Shu @ Sungai Petani
Restaurant Yong Shu, a place where I and my family will patronize at least twice a month ever since year 2002. The reason we love this place so much is due to the price is very reasonable, food is serve fast, and its good!
The really yummy and lemak curry fish head. Love it a lot. Basically every time we order this, we will bottom up the gravy. Awesome! 9.0/10
Steamed egg. The egg is quite smooth but it’s just average at most. 6.5/10
Tian Tian Liang Wan Tan Mee @ Sungai Petani
The Wan Tan Mee, sold by Ah Ngau in Tian Tian Liang Coffee shop, is definitely the most famous Wan Tan Mee in Sungai Petani already.
The crowd here every morning is just amazing, usually if you are unlucky you will need to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour for a plate of mee. To many people in Sungai Petani, it just not worth to wait so long for it. However, 1 thing I like about this shop is they do give a number when you order.
This will make sure that they won’t make any mistake by serving customer who came later than the earlier one. Besides, by having number on each table, a customer can slightly anticipate how long it will take for their order to reach.
