Famous Char Koay Kak of Bukit Mertajam
The Char Koay Kak seller said I am very lucky to capture these videos because this is the famous Koay Kak in Bukit Mertajam. Yes, I am very lucky to capture these videos
. The seller and his daughter are very friendly.
The taste of this Koay Kak is different from others. You can find this delicious Char Koay Kak at night at Jalan Pasar, Bukit Mertajam, Penang.
Watch the second video. I like the way he wrapped the koay kak.
Best Chicken and Pork Rice In The World
You can only find the best chicken and pork rice in the world here. Only at Jalan Danby, Bukit Mertajam.
As my brother said, with its secret sauce and green pickle chilies, the rice taste heavenly.
The rice is cooked individually in the metal bowl then the soup is served using the same bowl. This is the uniqueness of this rice too. Due to the metal bowls, some people call it cup rice.
Handmade Sesame Paste
The method of selling handmade sesame soup or sesame paste at Shangxiajiu pedestrian street is very interesting. You can watch how they grind and prepare the sesame paste. An effective way to promote business and attract customer.
Really lucky that I managed to capture some photos and video.
These two guys shout and sing and they have great voices. You can find new singing talent here. They shouted in Cantonese and Mandarin. Imagine they have to shout and sing everyday.
“Hand grinding sesame paste is the most delicious…..”. Watch the video here. Sure you will love it.
Toh Soon Cafe – Charcoal Toast
You can enjoy traditional style charcoal toast and watch how the bread is prepared at Toh Soon Cafe.
Toh Soon Cafe is situated at the alley of Campbell Street, George Town, Penang. I can find the location from the GPS too.
You will find people enjoying the tasty toast, steamed bread, fabulous coffee and half boiled eggs. From the photo you can see they use charcoal to boil water and the lower compartment for toasting breads.
Popular among locals and tourists, the place is really crowded and some have to share their table with others. People like to take photo and watch the traditional bread toasting process.
Lok Lok
I like the colourful view of Lok Lok.
Lok Lok is one of the famous food you can find in Penang. You can find many stalls selling Lok Lok especially at Wai Sek Kai, Chai Leng Park, Penang.
Lok Lok is similar to steamboat but we don’t consume the soup.
You will find a wide variety of vegetables, meat balls, mushrooms (some up to 90 choices) with various types of sauces.
Just dip your food into the cooking pot with hot boiling water. Within seconds, you can eat them with the sauce.
Apom – Tasty Indian Pancake
I finally had a chance to show the baking process of Apom (in Malay) or Indian pancake in this post.
Apom is one of the popular local delicacies in Malaysia. You can find these crispy indian pancakes in the morning beside Mutiara coffee shop, Taman Sri Rambai, Bukit Mertajam.
It was fun to capture the video with this friendly lady. A simple smile will make your day. ![]()
Shing Kheang Aun Restaurant
Established in 1941, Shing Kheang Aun restaurant in Penang is very popular among the locals and tourists for its Hainanese cuisine and local dishes.
It was great to be there and we love the interior environment of the restaurant. The heritage prewar building, wooden chairs, wooden tables , marble floor, marble table top etc which are very well preserved.
Do take note of how they serve their customer seated on the first floor. Very interesting. They deliver the dishes from the ground floor kitchen with pulley system.
We overheard people around us in the restaurant. They were impressed by the pulley system and the old fashion style of this restaurant. Some even said they wanted to try all the dishes.
Some of the famous dishes. Fried Salted Egg with Bitter Gourd and Tofu with prawns.
With a friendly smile, the restaurant owner asked me whether we managed to finish the dishes. ” Of course!” I replied.
As this restaurant is situated in the heritage city, you can enjoy the old historical streets and buildings after having your meal at Shing Kheang Aun restaurant.
Address of Shing Kheang Aun restaurant:-
2, Chulia Lane 10200 Penang, Malaysia
Famous Wan Tan Mee
I visited this famous stall of Bukit Mertajam again and it is interesting to watch them preparing Wan Tan Mee.
Here is the lastest video.
You can visit my earlier post The most famous Wan Tan Mee From BM for more photos and videos.
Macau Trip – Food

We arrived at the hotel in Macau at about 3pm. We had our first nice break from this nearby local coffee shop.
See the pork leg noodle? ![]()
Favourite Homemade Loh Mai Kai
My aunt makes the most delicious glutinous rice or Loh Mai Kai in the world.
Tasted the Loh Mai Kai from some of the coffee shops but still they are unable to compare to the Loh Mai Kai made by my aunt.
The sauce…super delicious!!!
Delicious Satay
Feeling hungry? I forgot to include the yummy peanut sauce served together with the dish in the photo. We call this dish as Satay. If you come to Malaysia, you should try this dish.
Satay can be found through out the country. From the street vendors or even restaurants. You can find chicken satay, beef satay, pork satay etc. Satay is served together with cucumbers and onions. Some served with or without sauce.
Do you like Satay? We all love it.
Famous Bukit Mertajam Dry Noodle
Super yummy dry noodle. Try this dry noodle from Bukit Mertajam. You can find this stall just beside Jit Sin Independent High School.
There is only one stall in this coffee shop. This stall sells Char Kway Teow, Kway Teow Soup and Fried rice. However, we always order the delicious dry noodle. Add a little bit of pepper and a little bit of sambal. The noodle really taste wonderful. We were thinking of another extra bowl.
The other day I saw the coffee shop was packed with students. Wow! The business is incredibly good and it needs only one stall. Feeling hungry?
