Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Penang
Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant is 1 of my favorite restaurant to go whenever I had the cravings for Korean food (and also BBQ stuff), simply because the quality of food here is usually higher than those normal Korean restaurant.
In Daorae, besides those normal sitting area, they usually have a dining area with tatami style, and obviously you will need to take off your shoe before entering the area. Notice the white long exhaust chute on top of each table? It can be pull down to be as close as possible to the BBQ area to suck out all the smoke from it.
Like most authentic Korean restaurant, our table is invariably laid with a sumptuous array of panchan. They are given complimentary for every table if you order their BBQ dishes. Most of them taste nice, and you can always ask for free refilling. I especially love their salad.
Rung Reang Thai Restaurant @ Jitra
Jitra, the 4th largest town in Kedah after Alor Setar, Sungai Petani and Kulim do have few famous restaurant selling Thai food, and due to the close proximity to the Thai border, the Thai food served is authentic and good.
One of the most famous restaurant is Rung Reang, a restaurant even known by few of my friends from Kuala Lumpur.
The crowd here is amazing. We reach there around at 9 PM, and almost all table were full. We were also told that we need to wait quite long for our food.
Bao Seng Durian Buffet (Eat all you Can Durian) @ Penang
It’s June, and it’s Durian season, the kings of fruits, and also the season of fattening.
These years, there is however something very hot in Malaysia, which is durian buffet. Just pay a small amount of money, and you get to eat all you can. From D24, red prawn, hor lor and many many more.
Durians, Durians, Durians……!!!
Seow Fong Lye Cofee Shop Chee Cheong Fun @ Penang
Chee Cheong Fun or rice noodle roll, all the while were being neglected by non-Penangtie. Well, can’t blame them since Char Koay Teow, Asam Laksa, Penang Hokkien Mee are too famous already.
Penang’s version of Chee Cheong Fun uses shrimp paste ( or known as hae koh ) which is black, but taste sweet. Mix it with some chili sauce and you to enjoy. The Chee Cheong Fun here at Seow Fong Lye coffee shop is especially good. The noodle roll itself is very very smooth and soft, and taste quite different (but good) from what you get to eat at other stall. 8.5/10
Khutai Thai Restaurant @ Butterworth, Penang
Before we go anything further, I shall say, this is a feast. THIS IS A FEAST!!!

Mega 1 Cafe Wine Noodle @ Penang
Mega 1 Cafe, a shop by Burma road which is sorta hard to spot, served something sorta rare in Penang – Wine Noodle.
The design of the shop is very simple, and just few tables available. The same goes to find a parking space here, damned hard to find!
Honey Longan Wintermelon @ RM3.20.
Sentosa Corner Yam Rice @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang
Yam rice is definitely 1 of the signature dish of mainland Penang, simply because there are few stalls here that sells really really good yam rice.
The yam rice in Penang is quite different from others part of Malaysia as it’s almost always served with salted vegetables pork soup, hence the soup taste sourish and very appetizing! The ingredients used is mostly pork, from the innards such as blood, liver, intestine to something more normal such as pork balls, lean meat and 3 layer meat.Of course, you can always customize the ingredients by telling them what you want, and what you don’t want. 7.0/10
Perak Road Bak Zhang @ Penang
Bak Zhang is a traditional Chinese food that is traditionally eaten during the dragon boat festival (5th day of the 5th month in the lunar calender). However, a Bak Zhang good can always be my breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea time, dinner and even supper!
Bak Zhang is always made of glutinous rice, with fillings such as Chinese sausage, Char Siew, salted pork, shrimps and etc. Yes, it’s all about meat man! Hence the reason why I love it so much!
Notice something different from this Bak Zhang compare to those normal one?
Nyonya Breeze @ Penang – Invited Review
Thanks to Criz, I had the chance for my first ever invited review. However, invited review is invited review, and although I doesn’t need to pay for my food, I will still comment about it honestly. And if any of you guys doubt about what I say, I already stated it clearly, this is an invited review, so it’s up to you guys to believe it or not.
Nyonya Breeze at Abu Siti Lane Penang offers authentic Nyonya cuisine, a cuisine which is going to extinct soon since not much people willing to learn and prepare it, simply because the preparation job is very time consuming. However, it’s good that at Nyonya Breeze, their dream is to keep these culinary secrets from becoming another history lesson, hence they are selling authentic Nyonya food for us to enjoy it.
The design of the shop is simple, and there’s a big board which explain the history of Nyonya food, which one can read it while waiting.
Air Itam Sister’s Curry Mee @ Penang
So many curry mee stall, so many hawker food around all over in Malaysia, but this curry mee stall at Air Itam will definitely give most people a very special most people an unforgettable experience.
Yes, I kid you not. This curry mee stall operate by 2 sisters who are old enough to be my grandmother. Oops, no, I don’t think it qualify as a stall at all, since there ain’t any stall there! Everything is on the floor! This is the first time I saw something like that.
