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

justbloglah — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 12:35:40 +0000

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

justbloglah — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 17:54:27 +0000

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

justbloglah — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 09:25:22 +0000

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

justbloglah — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:22:41 +0000

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

justbloglah — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 17:24:58 +0000

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

We arrived at the hotel in Macau at about 3pm. We had our first nice break from this nearby local coffee shop.

Delicious Satay

justbloglah — Sun, 31 May 2009 13:57:25 +0000

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

justbloglah — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:53:07 +0000

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?

Clay Pot Rice

justbloglah — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:51:36 +0000

We wanted to try Curry Fish Head but ended up with the Clay Pot rice from the hawker centre and the price is rather expensive. (Without egg!)

To tell the truth, mom’s homemade clay pot rice is so much better. Mom’s clay pot rice has mushrooms and slices of garlic.

Hmmmm…I won’t try it again from the hawker centre.

Smelly Tou Fu

justbloglah — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 09:47:08 +0000

Yesterday, we found this Smelly Tou Fu in Chai Leng Park and would like to try it one more time just to bring back some nice memories…

See photo above. Dare to try the smelly Tou Fu!(If you can read it). This photo was taken in China. I still remember people ran away from this stall and even the street due to the ultimate bad smell. I decided to hold my breath and brave myself to this stall then took this photo. Just for your information, keep away at least 1km from the stall if you afraid of the bad smell.

In Taiwan, you will not escape from the smell. There are these stalls everywhere in the streets, night markets etc. There is one street in Taiwan where all these stalls sell only smelly Tou Fu. They have roasted style, fried style, handmade style etc.

Despite the strong smell, the smelly Tou Fu is nice to eat. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try and enjoy it.
