vkeong writes: Another famous food in Bukit Mertajam is the Malay Char Koay Teow, or also known as Koay Teow Goreng Basah. This is the first Malay food in my food blog so you can be rest assured of its tastiness. Bukit Mertajam is the place where this variant of char koay teow originated. It is so well received that many have taken the opportunity to setup their own char koay teow stalls in Penang. Abang Is’ Malay Char Koay Teow’s ingredients include thin flat rice noodles (koay teow), beansprouts (taugeh), egg, lots of cockles (si ham) and huge sized fresh prawns. I have to admit ... read more

vkeong writes: As a food blogger I have never bloggged about one of the most eaten food in Malaysia, chicken rice. Reason is, I couldn’t find any chicken rice stalls in Penang that stands out from the usual ones I visit regularly. Even those which are claimed to be nice or famous by others aren’t that nice actually. So, I am here to introduce one of the nicest chicken rice stall in Bukit Mertajam - Ah Choon chicken rice. I have been eating here since high school and the quality remained as good. Ah Choon chicken rice can be found in 838 coffee shop in Taman Mutiara, just behind Sunshine ... read more

vkeong writes: Above video taken from DAP’s website - Announcement : Guan Eng to address all Malaysians I have been struggling whether I should do this post. But what the heck. This is my first time voting and as you all know I’d be voting in Bukit Mertajam. To those who have registered and going to vote tomorrow, good for you. You will decide the future of Malaysia’s as well your next generations to follow. To those who have registered but too late, hopefully you will make it earlier in the next election. And to those who didn’t even take the effort to register, you are a not a responsible citizen. You are not exercising your Democratic rights. You are jeopardizing ... read more

vkeong writes: A while ago when I was talking to my lunchmates, they mentioned a mee goreng stall in Bangkok Lane that was featured in Ah Xian’s eatery program. I didn’t watch it so I can only listen to their description. From what I heard, seems like the cook can fry the mee goreng in a very unique way. He can stir fry the noodles and spin the wok at the same time, somewhat like a performance. And even the mee goreng’s presentation looks promising. But in my opinion, this is one of the overrated hawker food in Penang. Although the noodles look really appetizing, ... read more

team bsg writes: the traditional Sungei Dua Prawn MeeSungei Dua ( 2 rivers ) is a small town most people hardly notice when they pass by Butterworth on the way up North to Langkawi or Thailand . But did you know that hidden inside is a gluttonous reputation for super pricey noodles Malay style.?Every eating shop seems to have it !And by the way even in Food Paradise Penang there is an area near Bayan Lepas where the entire small kampung boasts of this huge "imported" orange dish called Mee Udang Sg Dua ,a fantastic tribute from the Master himself and that's how "humongous" ... read more

vkeong writes: A while ago someone asked me where to go for good Hokkien Mee (or Prawn Noodle for those in KL) in Bukit Mertajam. Honestly I didn’t know because they taste pretty much the same to me. Although some were quite good, none of them was really outstanding which is worth recommending. That’s why I never blogged about Hokkien Mee. Then I stumbled upon Ah Xian’s blog about this Hokkien Mee stall just behind the Pek Kong Cheng temple. He blogged about it last year and I am pretty sure it was shown in his popular TV show - 阿贤人情味 on AEC. It is a good thing he ... read more

vkeong writes: This is probably old news but Oldtown Kopitiam finally opened a branch in Bukit Mertajam. The kopitiam is big and may be the 2nd largest branch in Penang. I think Old Town Kopitiam at New World Park remains as the largest. Big leh? There’s a multi-storey car park above it. The location is a new business park with many new houses coming up in the surrounding area. I’ve been to this kopitiam a couple of times and find it a really nice and relaxing place to hangout and yamchar. My mom has never been to Oldtown Kopitiam so one day we decided ... read more

vkeong writes: What’s your favorite breakfast? Could it be dim sum? Nasi lemak? Wantan mee? Tosai? Or do you sometimes wish you could be having something from another state altogether? Well I do miss Sarawak’s Kolo Mee and Laksa. And I also know many Malaysians abroad are missing the local food so badly they are dying to return. Too sick of bread and pasta I guess. One of my favorites would be this nice mee goreng stall just minutes from my house in Bukit Mertajam. The old couple has been selling mee goreng here faithfully for the past twenty years.... read more

vkeong writes: Little India in Penang is the place to look for good Indian food. Once you step into Little India you will first be greeted by the smell of burning incense sticks, the sights of colorful clothes and the hearing of loud Indian music. Sri Ananda Bahwan was the place I went for the taste of Little India. Located at the intersection of King Street (Lebuh King) and Penang Street (Lebuh Penang) Sri Ananda Bahwan offers northern and southern India cuisine, one of their many specialties is banana leaf rice. Actually I got to know this restaurant from Deva, who’s currently ... read more
