The first of the many more is beef noodle from Penang at Kang Beef House.

Although they do serve other beef cooked dishes such as fried rice, hor fun and steamboat, but it’s only available during dinner time.

Hence my RM15 beef koay teow is here.

The ingredients variety is good, tenderloin, brisket, beef tripe, beef tendon and meat balls. Although all the ingredients taste, but I still find that the soup itself is lacking of the oomph taste. Yes, it’s better than most beef noodle out there due to it’s variety of ingredients, but it’s far from the best. Maybe is because the sifu’s are not here yet for lunch time? Or the soup will taste better in dinner time after cooking for a longer period? I don’t know.  6.5/10

1 of the major flaw is the chili too. I don’t really enjoy myself with it’s chili. Hm…..

You may pass by Kang Beef House at Jalan Jelutong, but you can’t park your car there. You have to enter from Jalan Perak (intersection with Jalan Bangan Serai) and park your car there. They do have some private parking, but it’s limited to like 4 cars only.

Total Damage: Rm15 for 1 person (you can choose your portion of the beef noodle, starting from RM8 if I remember correctly)

Operating Hours: 12.00Pm to 2.30PM, 4.30pm-10.00pm (Closed Tuesday)

Location: Jalan Perak, Penang

Ahh….yummy. It’s full with different type of beef, tenderloin, sirloin, intestine, all is goodies goodie. The beef ball is very nice too. However, a nice bowl of beef noodle can only be good if the soup itself is good, and the one here never fails! It taste so beefy! 9.5/10

Wooto, as always, I opt for “keh liao”. Normal extra ingredients is only RM10, but I opt for even more ultimate version, koay teow small one, but ingredients add till RM15.

Besides that, the owner of the stall is actually quite leng lui. She once had a equally beautiful assistant to help her, but not sure since when the assistant had left, and now she had hire 2 Indonesian maid to help her instead.

Oh….cow, mai cow…..

Besides the famous and goodies beef koay teow here, I also read that the O-Chien (Oyster Omelette) here is quite good from CK’s blog. The O-Chien here is different from most other stall as it’s way more crispy instead of starchy.

However, like most penang O-Chien, the oyster is too small. But nevertheless, it’s still good. 7.4/10

Many people had refer to this place as Balai Bomba Beef Noodle, as the coffee shop is located directly opposite the fire station. So it’s really easy to find Lam Ah Coffee Shop.

I am drooling again….the beef soup is really very very tasty, and each time I am here, I will surely finish up the whole bowl of soup. Before I almost forget, a good bowl of beef noodle MUST always come with a good plate of chili sauce too, which it never fails here. A plate of chili is never enough for me since every time I am here, I sure “keh liao” ma.

Total Damage: RM15 for “keh keh liao” aka extra extra ingredients

Operating hours: 11am to 4pm (Closed on Sunday)

So here I am, at Sai Lam Coffee shop for it’s Ngau Lam Mee. It’s with mountain full of beef as I opt for “kar liu”, but it seems a bit overkill since all is just meat, but not it’s innards

The meat itself is quite soft and tender, but still not the best around in town. Again, if only they have more “ngau lam” instead of just meat, then it will taste better. The noodle itself is not bad though, but might be a bit too salty for some people. 6.8/10

The fish porridge here is good too. The porridge is very smooth,  however, the amount of fish is quite little, but still, it’s good. 6.9/10

Sai Lam Coffee shop is located at where Carnavon Street and Chulia Street met, the 2 great street which offers superb food!

Operating hours: 5pm to midnight

Location: Junction of Carnavon street and Chulia Street

It was sold by a pair of uncle aunty, and they had been selling it for more than 20 years.

However, it’s really really disappointing. When it was served, I already sense that this won’t be a good bowl of good beef noodle, as the soup doesn’t look thick at all. Yes, there are quite a few type of cow innards, and the beef is tender, but the soup is just average at best. The soup is a bit too watery, and is quite blend, totally not enough beef taste. Besides, although I opt for extra ingredients, it came with a hefty price tag at RM8, which is very expansive for Sungai Petani standard. I wouldn’t mind to pay for it if its good, but the quality of it is just….bleh. 5.1/10

However, I won’t deny that this is still the best beef noodle in Sungai Petani, as the others I tried is just uneatable, but if compare to the really good beef noodle, especially the one in Penang, this is just fail.

However, there’s still something that never failed me here at the bus station, which is the ice blended stuff. You can choose from a range of fruits such as pineapple, coconut, apple, orange and many more. If fruits is something you find that ice blended is normal, you can also opt for milo, red beans, peanut ice blended. You can also opt for “xi xua ga” if you are the adventurous type, which the person will simply mix everything that came to his mind and blend it with ice, but if something undrinkable came up, or you get diarrhea, don’t blame me.

There are a few stalls selling it, but I find that each of them is equally good, so I am never been particular in picking which to go.

The left one is the Milo ice blended, while the right one is the Peanut ice blended. Yum yum…… 8.0/10

Total Damage: RM8 for beef noodle (extra ingredient)

Operation Hours: 9am to 4pm (Close at Wednesday)

As always, I will choose the dry version if they have one. The toppings are minced meat. I am however sorta disappointed since many had said it was 1 of the best, but for me it just lack the oomph. Don’t get me wrong, it still a good bowl of noodle, but just lacking something, leading it to be above average max. Besides my taste bud might also be affected due to the fact that I am quite full already before I enter the shop. 6.8/10

There’s few option that you can choose from, either with all pork or beef balls or mix beef. The beef ball is quite good, however, I still find the one in Penang (the one oposite the fire station which I will blog about soon) is better. Besides that, the soup also taste not as good as the one in Penang.

Their famous chili, quite good and goes well with the noodle and beef ball.

The stall is actually quite small, and can accommodate around 10 tables or plus only. When I am there for lunch, there ain’t any other customer, but when I pass by them again at night, it was full and people have to stand and wait for seat. I don’t know is it that they have different cook during lunch and dinner, and will it make a difference, but certainly I am quite disappointed but will certainly give them another chance in the future.

Anyway, Ngau Kee is still a good place to eat if you are staying around at Bukit Bintang area.

Total damage: RM12 for 2 bowl of beef noodle and 1 coke
