Mua Chee @ Northam Beach Cafe

Malaysia

mua chee
vkeong writes: Northam Beach Cafe is a nicer type of hawker center in Penang along Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah. It is located right next to a beach hence the name. Northam Beach Cafe utilizes the open air concept so you could enjoy the wind coming from the sea. And because of the nice location, decoration and ample free parking space it is popular with the locals and tourists alike. The food, however is pretty much the same with the other hawker centers. But the mua chee here is quite special so it deserves a mention. Mua chee is my favorite snack when I was small. Who wouldn’t love that chewy ... read more

Hainan Lou Western Food

vkeong writes: On the way to Kek Lok Si to photograph the beautiful lanterns displayed in the temple during Chinese New Year, Siang Leng and I stopped at Asia Cafe for dinner. I blogged about this rather classy hawker centre before and it has been a year since my last visit. I noticed the oyster noodle stall is not there anymore. A pity because the oyster noodle quite good. We were undecided on what to eat as the foods there don’t seem appealing.. At last we chose to order from Hainan Lou Western Food. Hainan Lou Western Food has many types of Western food ... read more


boo_licious writes: After hearing about this place, I finally got to try it one Saturday. Usually, when we're running errands around Petaling Jaya State, I'll grab a quick snack from the mini egg tart stall. This time round, the stall was not around. Not sure if he has closed down permanently or closed for the Chinese New Year period (some hawkers take off after the festive season as they don't rest during that time).Anyway, I decided to try the wantan noodles. Heard a lot about it from friends. A small portion costs RM4, with a few pieces of char siu and two small wantans. The noodle texture is nice - chewy ... read more


Prawn mee
babe_kl writes: Come lunch time, Changkat Ceylon, Lorong Ceylon and Jalan Mesui will be abuzz with activities. It is very popular amongst the office workers around this area to have their lunch at the hawkers at these stretches. I used to come here very often when my office was nearer. These days I will only come here once in a long while due to the distance.There are a lot of good stuff around here ranging from the mixed rice stall located within a Chinese temple along Changkat Ceylon (that leads to Wisma MPL's carpark) which sells vegetarian dishes on the 1st and 15th of the lunar calendar. No doubt the dishes are very tasty but it's super duper expensive, ... read more


Mee Goreng @ Bangkok Lane

Malaysia

bangkok lane mee goreng
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


Eel Fish Ball Noodle @ Heng Seng Coffeeshop

Malaysia

eel fish ball noodle
vkeong writes: Heng Seng Coffeeshop located along Jalan Kaptian Keling (formerly known as Pitt Street) sells very nice fish ball soup. You must be thinking what’s so special about fish ball soup? The answer is the ingredient used to make the fish balls - eel. Also, Heng Seng produces the fish balls themselves. Anyway if you are sushi lover you will know eel is also known as unagi in Japanese. I came to know this eel fish ball noodle last year during the Chinese New Year street festival held in the area. At that time I didn’t get to try it because there were too ... read more


firing hot meaty cravings

Malaysia

team bsg writes: The Chinese pioneered steam cooking and probably also started this style of dumping delicacies into a pot of clay then heating the mix into a dark saucy meal like this , called chicken rice ( yet again !).Some say this 3meats-in-1 concoction actually started in Kampar, Perak in the pre-war days but then again who knows. It is now easily found in most hawker centres and can be truly sensational if you find the right master who can transform a little row of charcoal fired potty rice , embedded with some tender meats ( plus fish ) with dark sauce into another biting 20-minutes-only fast & furious burning wonders.Why then do you need 12 hours ( ... read more
