January 22, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

I been wanting to share about this hawker stall for quite sometime but I always forgot to take photo. Rahim Mee Goreng located at Air Itam Maybank (Beside Petron), you can easily see it in front of Kafe Deli Miu and always people stop in front his cart and waiting.

Every month I eat at least twice and sometime even more, been eating this hawker mee goreng since I move to Air Itam 20 years back. You can dine in at the kopitiam as well but normally i just pack home.

The Mee Goreng is just RM3 for small and RM3.50 for big, it is very reasonable as the portion is quite big. I like it pasembur as well but i did not have photo for it. You can try it out and share with me.

Mee Goreng cook with charcoal that has very good wok hei and flavor, i always ask to add some pasembur sauce which gave it some sweet taste. The noodle is perfectly cook and the cracker also very nice.

Noor & Dean’s Kafe and Noordin Street House Georgetown Penang

January 22, 2015 Enqvist Leave a comment

Noor & Dean’s Kafe and Noordin Street House Georgetown Penang, one of the top ranking restaurant in TripAdvisor for Georgetown Penang. On top of that, it is a boutique hotel as well. The restaurant offer authentic local delicacy with some great western food in their menu, signature dishes such as Laksa, Satay and more are tourist favorite.

Being one of the heritage building, the structure and design is well preserved and maintain. Wooden chair and table are widely use in the restaurant with whole lot of antique vase and decorative item as decoration is just nice.

Noor Meets Dean RM12, very refreshing drinks that include pineapple, orange, lemon and berry.
Cool Mint & Lime Fritz RM12, combination of lemon and mint which taste extremely sour but very refreshing.

Street House Delight RM12, mixture of lemon, lycee and passion fruit cocktail.

Faux Champagne RM12, mixture of apple, pineapple, orange and other fruits.

Harwin Temper RM12, sweet and sour drink with salt cover on top. The specialty is the red color salt which I never see it before but it actually taste pretty much the same as normal salt.

Noor & Dean’s Platter RM35, a big platter combination of Stay, Chicken Dynamite, Cucur Udang and Pakora. Personally I live the Chicken Satay very much as it perfectly marinated and taste flavorful, most important still the Satay sauce which has whole lot of peanut in it and taste so good. Chicken Dynamite is something special here, it is actually green chili filled with cheese and chicken meat, at first I am pretty scare to try as I don’t like the green chili taste but I am wrong here, it doesn’t has strong chili flavor instead it taste fresh and the filling taste well balanced with the chili. The other two item Pakora and Cucur Udang are perfectly deep fried to crispy texture and taste good with the dipping sauce provided.

Satay

Shish Kebab & Pasta RM28, a very creative combination of Italian vs Indian cuisine into one plate. We enjoy the nice presentation of this dish as well, hanging Kebab with assorted vegetable while Paste are served on something like a flower pot.

Antique plate are use here.

Lamb Shank RM38, my favorite of the night. Big portion of lamb shank perfectly marinated and cook for long hour to fully absorb the sauce flavor, it was fall-off-the-bone tender and flavorful. The Lamb Shank pair perfectly with the mash potato and fresh vegetable.

Bawal Goreng Juru RM16, this is one of the Penang famous delicacy where Juru is a small town located at main land of Penang, a lot restaurant served great Ikan Bawal Goreng in that area. Great to know that they have this delicacy as well, Ikan Bawal aka Black Pomfret is perfectly deep fried to crunchy texture and pair with a bowl of rich flavor curry.

Thai Laksa RM16, very creamy soup full with coconut aroma and various herb flavor making it taste sour and sauteed. Assorted vegetable such as mint leave, onion, cucumber and chili are bring added.

Sizzling Almond Cake RM12, I bet you never try this before as it is something new to us as well. Normally Dessert either served in cold or hot but in Noor & Dean’s Kafe they served cold ice cream and cake in hot sizzling plate. The cake still taste hot on our first bite, almond cake very moist and not too sweet which is nice pairing with vanilla ice cream.

Pandan Sago Gula Melaka RM6, well cooked sago that maintain it round and individual texture instead of stick together and the great flavor of Gula Melaka and Coconut Milk combination make it taste so good.

We are lucky to have a site our in Noordin Street House Boutique Hotel. The Boutique Hotel has 8 suites in which it has it very own design and decoration, building are perfectly restore to highest standard. Room are fitted with 1950s retro furniture and maintain to tip top condition.

Surprisingly there is a in house swimming pool.

We really enjoy sitting at the roof top, it is so comfortable and nicely decorated with superb view to First Avenue.

Laptop is provided to in house guest for Internet browsing.

We really enjoy dining at restaurant and impress with the boutique hotel as well.

Supper at Batu Lanchang Nasi Tomato Penang

January 3, 2015 Enqvist 2 Comments

Batu Lanchang Nasi Tomato which is one of the truly “Nasi Beratur”, the main reason we name it that way because the queue is always so long that you can easily wait more than 1 hour. The shop located inside Flat Taman Seri Damain, right opposite Batu Lanchang wet market so you can park at the market for free and there is whole lot of parking space available. It is very easy to identified the restaurant, right after the security guard house you will see people queuing and that is the only shop there. The shop start business around 10.30PM but queue start from 10PM, we arrive at 10.15PM and we are in the middle of queue.

The other way to recognize the shop is to look at the colorful bulb.

The queue become much longer after us, this photo show the long queue before business start, you can see the long queue toward the far end.

They give us the nasi tomato and you take your own dishes, see the crowd start grabbing their food and fill up their plate.

Deep fried chicken using charcoal, that is something special here. Charcoal tend to give more heat which always good for deep fried.

Honestly there is not much variety but definitely good enough for supper. There is deep fried chicken, fish, fried egg, curry chicken, squid, claim, prawn and some vegetable.

Fried Egg

The must try Signature Deep Fried Chicken.

Ikan Bilis

Assorted Curry which is best to mix all type.

4 of us order each a plate although we said to order only 2 plate to share before we go but looking at the queue we know must order 4 plate. Well, i think we make the right decision as the rice is not that big portion and the curry is extremely delicious.
Deep fried chicken with egg is RM5
Deep fried chicken + Deep fried chicken organ + Squid RM9

Overall the price is acceptable, the curry taste sweet with mild spiciness but nasi tomato fragrance easily overpower by the gravy.

It is still super long queue by the time we leave around 12am. By the way, some of their dishes will finish up early such as squid which they won’t cook more but they will continue to provide deep fried chicken till midnight, if you want to try more variety then be there early.

Malay Food, Pasembur

Union Street Kareem Pasembur

April 11, 2014 Enqvist 2 Comments

Kareem Pasembur is located at Union Street which is next to Standard Charter bank, actually i never eat here before or heard anyone talking about this Pasembur. I just walk pass here and saw this hawker, the cucuk udang caught my attention, it piling high like a mountain. The banner show that this hawker established since 1945 which is so long ago and it open from 11am until 7pm. The only problem here is definitely no parking during lunch time and it extremely hot to dine there as well since it not a proper coffee shop instead just a few table on road side, with that said i decided to pack home. By the way, nearby has one great Mee Goreng that should be not miss as well, which is Hameed Mee Sotong.

The basic Pasembur is RM4.50 while adding extra cucuk udang (Prawn Fritters) RM2.50 each, it has potato, cucumber, egg, jicama, squid, tofu and other. You can add on other items such as potato, egg, cucuk udang, fish cake…etc

As you can see the portion is big although this pack cost RM7 with extra prawn Fritters but it definitely worth the value. Something worth mention is the prawn Fritters which has so much prawn on top of it and it taste so good. It has the prawn deep fried fragrance and it so crunchy.

Talk about the sauce, thumb up. It has the authentic pasembur sweet and mild spicy taste, it as well has some herb fragrance which make me eat non stop.

Give it a try if you pass by here, parking is big problem so tapao is highly recommended. You can join our Taste…iest Facebook Fanpage to keep yourself updated on all the latest from Taste…iest, Penang Food Blog.
