Beef Noodle and Chee Cheong Fun at B Garden Cafe Penang

October 20, 2014 Enqvist 2 Comments

Been looking for good beef noodle in Penang recently, although i found a couple good one such as Sai Lam Coffee Shop, Sukhothai Beef Noodle House or Golden Happy Cafe in Sungai Nibong but that never stop me for continue searching for more. Today i going to share the one i found in B Garden Cafe Penang which is located at Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim or we normally call Batu Lanchang Road (Same row at Lam Wah Ee Hospital). The restaurant located next to main road and you can easily see the big blue signboard, in this cafe there is all different type of Penang delicacy such as Bah Kut Teh, Nasi Kandar…etc.

Chee Cheong Fun, prawn paste with a little bit spicy chili paste top with sesame. It has very smooth texture and the prawn paste doesn’t has too strong fishy taste which is quite good.

Beef Noodle, we had extra ingredients which cost more but definitely worth it. I can’t recall how much it is but it should be around RM8. It has almost every part of beef and every part cook perfectly. I like the beef stomach very much which is extremely crunchy and beef is not overcook which is still soft and can easily bite. The soup is very clear and tasty, although it doesn’t has very strong beef flavor but the beef natural sweetness is what i am looking for.

B Garden Cafe, you can park at opposite and walk over or park behind residential area, it shouldn’t be too hard to get parking space in this area. There is a couple of hawker that look interesting, i will be back to try out something else.

Sai Lam Wantan Mee and Beef Noodle

October 18, 2014 Enqvist 1 Comment

Sai Lam Wantan Mee with Beef is a very famous place for food lover, this place has been established for so many years and still maintenance good reputation. Although parking always a problem but that never stop food lover to visit them, the wantan mee is perfectly cook and the most important is the big wan tan that fill with whole lot of meat that has very round shape instead of empty filling like most of the wantan mee in town.

Beef Noodle Wan Tan Mee that should never miss, it come with beef brisket, tendons and meat, it is very juicy and tender. The soup has very mild herbal taste but for me it lack of beef flavor, personally I like beef noodle to have very very strong beef taste. Overall it is still very delicious Wan Tan Mee to die for.

Wan Tan Mee with bbq pork and big wantan, as you can see the Wan Tan is not flat instead it is so round and fill with whole lot of meat, i like the springy texture of Wan Tan noodle here, it is perfectly cook and the sauce has the right amount of saltiness that make it so good.

Generous amount of filling in the Wan Tan.

Sai Lam Wan Tan Mee. The Wan Tan Mee itself doesn’t have a name so normally people just call it SaiLam Wan Tan Mee since only one Wan Tan Mee in this coffee shop.

Que Huong Toi Vietnamese Restaurant Jalan Jelutong, Penang

April 3, 2014 Enqvist 1 Comment

Que Huong Toi is a Vietnamese restaurant located along Jalan Jelutong, behind Hyundai or before the traffic light if you coming from Jelutong. Parking is a problem as it only has 1 parking lot so the best place to park is opposite, park at roadside of Peugeot Showroom and cross the road. The restaurant is small and fit with only a few table, the waitress is Vietnamese but they can speak fluent mandarin.

Cafe Sua Hot RM3.00 Cold RM3.30, Vietnam Milk Coffee that is a must ordered. Coffee is very thick and the special dripping tools making it so special. I take 1 cup of cold and another cup of hot which both taste very good but personally i recommend hot drink as it has a little bit more flavor and you can add on extra water(tea) with the provided tea pot.

Pho Bo RM6.50, Vietnam Beef Noodle Soup. My all time favorite beef noodle, the soup is very flavorful and sweet, full of beef flavor and the noodle is actually pretty same texture as koay teow. Serving together with a bowl of vegetable which pretty strong in flavor so if you do not like the vegetable you can ignore it.

Bun Bo Xao RM7, Vietnam Fried Lemongrass Beef Noodle. Not really fried noodle instead it more like dry boiled bee hun with lemongrass and other seasoning with beef, if you love lemon grass then for sure you will enjoy this plate else you may try other thing.

Vietnam BBQ Pork Chop Rice RM6.50, deep fried marinated pork chop served with tomato, pickle and tofu. Well, i was rather dissapointed with the pork chop as shown in picture it was so big, almost cover up the whole plate but when served it is very small and cold. The taste is just normal and pretty hard as well. Not recommended.

Banh Xio RM7, Vietnam Pork & Prawn Large Popiah with Vegetable. It indeed very big and full of vegetable especially jicama, popiah skin very crispy but not much flavor, dipping with the sweet sauce making it taste good.

Gui Cuon RM1.80 each, Vietnam Hand Roll Popiah. Vietnamese rice noodle with assorted vegetable wrapped in Vietnamese popiah skin, i feel the vegetable too hard and overall doesn’t has much flavor, you have to dip with the provided sauce.

Banh Flang RM2.50, Vietnam Pudding. The pudding is extreme smooth while serving with the coffee-o which taste bitter well balanced up the dessert overall taste.

Overall we love this place so much and it not known by many, price is reasonable as well.

Bintang Rock Ramadan Buffet at Hard Rock Hotel Penang

July 12, 2013 Enqvist 3 Comments

Bintang Rock Buffet promotion at Hard Rock Hotel during fasting month of Ramadhan, the buffet dinner available from 9th July until 9th August 2013 at their restaurant Starz Diner. The Bintang Rock Buffet priced at RM68++ for adult and RM34++ for child. Good News! Every 10 diners, 11th diner Free Of Charge. Please refer bottom of the page for booking information.

Let get started with Kerabu which is a mixture of various ingredients with local dressing aka salad. Assorted Kerabu such as Kerabu Ikan Kembung(Mackerel Salad), Kerabu Sotong(Squid Salad), Kerabu Udang(Prawn Salad), Kerabu Nangka(Jackfruit Salad) and Kerabu Daging Salad(Beef and Mango Salad). Each has it own unique taste and most of them are very appetizing, definitely a great start for buffet.

Personally we enjoy eating the mango salad and those salad with rice noodle, rice noodle able to fully absorb those sweet and sour flavor while provide a springy texture.

Kerabu

Nasi Ulam is an traditional rice dish that mixed with various herbs and vegetables.

If you not use to those traditional appetizer then you may choose to have the western salad as well.

On the main dish there is some local hot dishes for selection, such as Hong Kong Kailan with Garlic, Gulai Ayam and Sambal Sotong Emak

Braised Tofu with Seafood, Daging Masak Kicap and Curry Prawn

Laksa was rather disappointed as it has very strong burnt smell and fishy taste, there is big room of improvement for Laksa.

Roti Canai is not bad, it has the crunchiness for those freshly made but it a little bit chewy for those left over long period, I would suggest they only made a few or made it upon request to ensure crunchiness.

There is two type of Satay, either Chicken Satay or Beef Satay. Chicken Satay is pretty delicious and soft but Beef Satay is way too hard and chewy.

Chicken Shawarma Pita Bread

Prawn Cracker and Fish Cracker

Chicken Floss

Beef Floss

Fruit Corner consists of orange, watermelon, honeydew…etc.

Traditional Dessert very attracting, those are the dessert we use to eat during Hari Raya from our beloved Malay friends. Each of the traditional dessert has its own unique texture and flavor, tasting each of them filling at least a quarter of my stomach but it definitely worth it.

Here is another famous traditional dessert Pulut Hitam which is one of my favorite of the night even though it slightly too sweet but I like the taste and texture very much.

Assorted Traditional Biscuit

Rojak Corner is another type of fresh fruit salad mix with shrimp paste.

Three different flavor of ice cream pre scoop and keep in the fridge, it definitely a good idea to avoid long scooping time which always make the ice cream melt.

Assorted Ice Cream topping.

Ice Kacang

Fresh Fruit Tart

Assorted western dessert such as Chocolate Cake, Strawberry Cake and Cheese Cake.

If you are not fan of buffet, you may opt for Rock Platter for RM120++ (2 Pax), the package include appetizer, main course and dessert. Rock Platter serving time from 11:30am until 10:30pm starting from 10th July until 7th August 2013.
Rock Platter is extremely presentable where assorted local delicacy such as Onion Ring, Tomato Rice, Tomyum Linguine, Red Cooked Chicken, Tupelo Chicken Tenders, Grilled Mini Beef Quesadilla, Hickory-Smoked Barbeque Chicken, Mini Rendang Pulled Chicken Sandwich.

Soup of the day

Dessert of the day is Mini Apple Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream.

*Click here for Melaka Food Tour Day 1

Wake up in the morning and can’t wait to move out from this Harbour Inn Hotel. Immediately after check out it time to eat something special, something local people eating.
Yung Lai Siang Coffee Shop has a stall selling Prawn Noodle, Melaka Laksa and Fishball Noodle.

Yung Lai Siang coffee shop

A cup of hot traditional coffee, enjoying.
Hot Coffee

Melaka Laksa, if you saw this in Penang then we Penang people call it curry mee but in Melaka they name it Laksa, anyhow it is curry soup with coconut milk. It taste a little bit spicy with strong coconut milk flavor, it taste good.

Fishball Mee is rather normal where the noodle is a little fat compare to Penang yellow noodle and the flavor is just sautéed with a few slice of pork meat.

Curry Puff, crispy puff skin stuff with curry potato. It taste good.

Light breakfast taken and it time to go for next station “Ming Sate Hut” which located at town area.

Ming Sate Hut located very near to Mahkota Parada, famous for its pork satay. I forgot about the price but it range between RM0.60 to RM1, pretty reasonable.

Satay sauce provided taste quite close to Penang Satau sauce which has peanut in it, just that Penang Satay sauce taste sweeter.

Cucumber and Onion has additional charge. Surprise!
onion and cucumber

We had 5 Chicken, 5 Pork and 5 Intestines. The Satay is nicely marinated and it taste sautéed instead of sweet, I think this is Melaka flavor which is acceptable, meat is soft and juicy. Intestines is my favorite among the 3 different satay. I can only say that the Satay is just normal, there is better Satay somewhere and we prefer those with sweet taste.

Just next to Ming Sate Hut is the famous must eat Nadeje . It is so called the best Mille Crepe and we do agree with that, in our previous visit we eat quite a lot of it. This time we just going to eat one and that all.
nadeje cake

The Strawberry Mille Crepe we had is very delicious, it not too sweet and the strawberry sourness balance the sweetness. Each layer fill with whole lot of cream which melt in my mouth, it just so delicious.

It time to meet up with our friend, we have 10 persons in this trip and we rent a Semi-D homestay that near to Ban Lee Siang Satau Celup.

Lins Cottage has a total of 4 rooms with 6 unit of double beds which mean it can accommodate up to 12 persons or if you don’t mind to sleep on the floor then you can easily fit another few more persons. It cost RM380 per night, you may visit Lin’s Cottage blog for more detail. The house is well kept and paint with various color which make it look fresh and nice, the most important is all room and toilet very clean and tidy. Air-con is installed in every room as well, except living room. Only one thing to complain is the water pressure, second floor water pressure is way too low that it took us very long time to bath.

Overall we are very satisfy with the room condition and price, 10 person average down the price for just only RM38 per person.

Hing Loong Taiwan Beef Noodle is one of the famous beef noodle located in Gajah Berang. We try it Beef Noodle Dry and Soup each cost RM4.50 while additional plate of Pork Ribs cost RM2.70.

Beef Noodle Soup, the soup has very strong beef flavor and spicy. The noodle is very close to Ramen which is flat and a little bit chewy texture, beef is very soft and overall very delicious.

Beef Noodle Soup

Beef Noodle Dry is actually the same as the soup except it has less soup only, they will give you a bowl of soup as well hence it totally no different. It still taste as good as the soup noodle.

Pork Ribs is deep fried on the spot, which is still hot when it served. It well marinated and fully absorb the sauce flavor, it taste a little bit sweet and sauteed, very delicious.

After that we go back to Lin Cottage and get our self prepare for my friend wedding, i skip that part since nothing much to share but i believe you will be more interested to know what we eat after wedding dinner.
To be honest we are quite full after wedding dinner but we still insist to go for second round and that second round is some where near to our house, which is Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup.

Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup is now split into two shop, it on left and right but we do not know which is the original. We choose the one on the right.

Yes we are full but we still take a lot of thing to eat. Haha! Ban Lee Siang Satay sauce is not the sweet compare to other satay celup, it taste a bit sauteed and the ingredient variety is a lot.

After second round my friend told us there is one Asam Pedas Claypot that open at midnight which is quite famous, immediately we decide to go for third round. Asam Pedas Claypot Kota Laksamana 1, I am surprise to see the crowd at 1am.

They will served Otak-Otak to every table, the Otak-Otak is the muar version which taste a little bit sweet and authentic.

We decided to try Ikan Pari Asam Pedas Rice Set, Pari fish served in hot clay pot with a plate of steamed rice that come together with salted egg, vegetable and sambal. The Asam Pedas is not that spicy instead it taste sauteed and mild sour taste, Ikan Pari is very soft and delicious.

That wrap up of supper and it time to go home sleep.

The next day wake up in the morning (close to noon) we get ourself prepare and go for our last meal in Melaka before heading back to Penang. We choose to eat Chicken Rice where is a must eat dish in Melaka, we try Chung Wah and Hoe Kee before but both not really impress us so this time we going to try something that local people recommend, which is Huang Chang Chicken Rice Restaurant.

There is step to ordered, first you need to find a table to sit down, then proceed to counter to ordered your chicken rice and pay first then get your number, wait for your food to served.

Chicken Rice Ball 60 units x2. We are so hungry!

Chicken Meat is very succulent compare to those shop in Jonker street which made to cater the need of tourist only, at here the chicken is much more delicious and the sauce is even better.
