Tai Tong Restaurant 大东酒楼 @ Lebuh Cintra, Penang. 16 August 2009
- Tai Tong Restaurant is a old dim sum house (老茶楼), they got around 60 years in history. I like here not because of their history, but because of the nice food and they still can maintain the quality till now.
- Normally I like to visit Tai Tong during night session, feel like the dim sum is more “fresh”. My dad claim that during his morning session visits, the dim sum seem like not so fresh. May be due to night session they can’t finish selling it, they leave it until morning session. This is my assumption only !!!
鸿图面
- Not much of Penang people know about “鸿图面”, this is a cantonese dish. I had introduce it to some of my friends before. They like it so much. I will rather said “鸿图面” is a poor people ‘鱼翅“, the “law”/soup comprise of crab meat,egg and others seafood. So far I only like the “鸿图面” from Tai Tong and 桃园茶楼（Tao Yuan Restaurant).
大包
- Another famous of Tai Tong: 大包. Delicious !!!

Dec 6th
- Mun Lock Hooi Coffee Shop Chu Cha @ Sungai Ara, Penang. 01 August 2009
- The chef of this chu cha stall is my dad old old friend. My father always said want to visit his friend and due to timing, from few years till now, finally we go to try his friend chu cha.
- Overall we all quite satisfy with the foods and total bills was quite cheap. I heard my dad said that his Char Hor Fun (炒河粉) was great. May be next time will try the char hor fun with others dish.

Louis Cafe
Dec 1st
- Louis Cafe @ Argyll Road, Penang. 31 July 2009
- My colleagues celebrate my manager and my birthday at Louis Cafe. Before visit to Louis Cafe, I thought that this is a very small size restaurant. Quite surprise that they got a big room at up stair, which can fit around 20 persons and you can having your karaoke session there. During lunch time, they got a set lunch which cost RM 23.90 nett.
- The set lunch included soup of the day, one main course: special chicken chop,old classic fish fillet, grilled hawaiian chicken , black pepper fish and holland chicken , beverage: ice lemon/peach tea and free ice-cream.

- The mushroom soup was not bad, but the Smoky Jack Ribs and Steak House mushroom soup….still my favorite. But I love the bread on top, which is quite crispy.
Ferringhi Garden Restaurant
Dec 1st
Ferringhi Garden Restaurant @ Batu Ferringhi, Penang. 19 July 2009
- As I can see, Ferringhi Garden Restaurant diners, most of them are tourists. So the foods price will be a bit expensive due to the market targets. The environment was great, more closer to natural style. When you walk in to the restaurant, you will feel that you are walking toward to a “gardens”. Two thumbs up for the interior concept.

Swatow Lane Coffee Shop
Nov 25th
- Coffee Shop @ Swatow Lane , Penang. 19 July 2009
- All of us knew that, the ice kacang stall inside the new world park. The quality have drop a lot. Even the esplanade food court, the indian stall ice kacang is better than new world park one as well. Every time I also forgot about the name of this coffee shop, which is just opposite the new world park. I feel that this coffee shop ice kacang are better than the new world park ice kacang stall. May be their business is too good, they are losing there quality control.

Duck Meat Koay Teow Soup
Nov 17th
Duck Meat Koay Teow Soup @ Lebuh Melayu, Penang. 19 July 2009
- This stall of Koay Teow Soup, strongly recommended by my friend Soon Huat. He told me that every times he got friends from other place, he sure will bring them visits this Duck Meat Koay Teow Soup. When I reach this stall early morning around 9 am, this shop was crowded. Our waiting times is around 40 mins. Honestly I feel that this Duck meat Koay Teow Soup is just normal only. The soup come with a very strong duck meat taste, which proved that the soup is 100 % cook with duck meat. For myself I prefer something which is more oily. This is too pure for me.

Roti Bakar Kopitiam
Nov 14th
Roti Bakar Kopitiam @ Penang Times Square, Penang. 14 July 2009
- Never visit the Roti Bakar Kopitiam near USM before. This is my first visit to this kopitiam and this is the new branch at Penang Time Square. As decided earlier with my colleagues, we will having lunch there today. Overall the food is tasty and nice. If you already tedious with Old Town Coffee, you can try something new here and which is more near to home make style.
- Unfortunately, we got a bad experience today. My colleagues ordered the Nasi Lemak Hijau. She told me that the nasi Lemak Hijau is special and nice. While we are waiting our Nasi Lemak Hijau, the manager told us that the Nasi Lemak Hijau was “burn”. So they can’t served us today. So we just ordered other foods. Very bad thing happened !!! During the billing, they still charge us the nasi lemak hijau for around RM 18 ++. When my colleague reach the office, she only found out that the bill was mistake and over charge. So she just rush back to Penang Time Square from Northam Tower. OMG !!! So next time during the billing, must check the bill clearly and carefully, if not you will spent some extra petrol and times for the extra billing.
Honey Chicken Steak Rice RM 6.30
- Look special, initially I thought this was a ham. My colleague claimed that this was tasty and nice !!!
EGG On Roti Bakar RM 2.00
- Roti Bakar on top with the fresh Egg…..yummy yummy.
Roti Bakar Cheese RM 3.90
- Not bad and recommended.
Sungai Penang Food Court

East Coast Ikan Bakar & Taiwan Set Dinner @ Sungai Penang Food Court, Penang. 06 July 2009

east coast ikan bakar
- Never visit the new opening food court at sungai penang. I heard that it was quite crowded. So I directly go there after my office hours, and meet my friend there. Reach there around 6 pm+, not very crowded and easily found a parking lot. Got around 10 ++ stall there. Look interesting and I a just ordinary penang “people” and I just want to try the “new toilet”. I just hanging around and not sure what should I ordered. Finally I decided to ordered the Taiwan Set Dinner. Unfortunately the Taiwan Set Dinner is quite disappointed. The set dinner is served with one fried egg,soup, chicken with mayonis sauces and sausages. Feel like the set dinner is like no taste at all !!!
mayonis
- Luckily the east coast ikan bakar is not disappointed me. I heard that this bali style food court is same boss as the Bali Bali Farlim and this stall of ikan bakar are the one at East Coast Coffee Shop, Paya Terubong. Thanks god the quality are maintain.
- The other times I visited this food court again and my camera is not with me. The chicken rice at this food court is not bad as well, quite impress me at least. Just a normal chicken rice but quite tasty. The chicken rice boss call him self as 洪金寶 chicken rice. What a creative name…..
Min Jiang Ayer Itam

Char Hor Fun & Thai Tom Yam @ Min Jiang Ayer Itam. 04 July 2009
Thai Tom Yam Maggi Mee
Char Hor Fun(炒河粉)
- This coffee shop is same row with Nissan Ayer Itam. Quite difficult to find parking lot there, you can park at public bank or shell petrol station. Shell petrol station parking fees is quite expensive. If you dare just park at road side. One illegal parking fees will cost you around RM 2, which is equal to one cup of drinks.
- I want to try this famous Thai Tom Yam for quite sometimes, every time either already out of stock or the stall still not yet ready or the stall is not open. I always got no fate with this Thai Tom Yam. Finally this time I got chances to taste it. The soup is a bit spicy. I feel like it was kinda expensive. It cost me around RM 6 and the prawn was not very big as well. I still prefer the tom yam noddle at Siong Ho Fish Head Noodles and Porridge at Village Cafe. (Will introduce this stall at my future post)
- The char hor fun at this coffee shop is recommended. Not much of tasty char hor fun stall at Penang…. this stall of char hor fun are one of the nice one. You can find out yourself !!!!
