Image
Our Penang trip starts with eating Penang's local food at Kedai Kopi New Cathay (新國泰茶室) . Once we reached Penang, dropped our luggages and took bath at our homestay Havara Place ), we walked to Kedai Kopi New Cathay for local food. This hawker food restaurant is introduced by our homestay owner since it is his favourite place for delicious local Penang food and also within walking distance from our bungalow homestay. Penang Hawker Food - Char Kuey Teow Come to Penang must eat Penang Char Kuey Teow , right? The Char Kuey Teow here at Kedai Kopi New Cathay has big fresh prawns as shown in the photo above. One of the best Char Kuey Teow I ever ate, but I have not eaten other Char Kuey Teow here in Penang. Most of my dates with Char Kuey Teow were in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur stalls only. Cockles (siham) spotted. A must have optional item in your Char Kuey Teow. When I'm chewing my Char Kuey Teow, it is always exciting to spot some siham swimming between the kuey teow...

Green View Restaurant (长青海鲜饭店) is one of our favorite Chinese Seafood Restaurant at Seksyen 19, Petaling Jaya. Their specialty is the famous fresh water prawn noodles (Sang Har Mein). The photos below are from my several visits to Green View Restaurant and the food never fail to satisfy me on every visit. The staffs here are very friendly and the delicious food are served pretty fast too. Big fresh water prawn with noodle and gravy. The price is seasonal and the noodle is refillable. So if you are all for the noodle and prawn, you can skip the white rice. However the gravy mix very well with white rice too. The size of the fresh water prawn compared to my spoon and fork. The meat are firm and delicious. Side view of this plate of fresh water prawn noodles (Sang Har Mein). The size of the prawns are not consistent but the taste is always delicious for all of our visits. Besides the fresh water prawn, Green View Restaurant (长青海鲜饭店) also serves one of the best Salted Egg Crab. The sal...

Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant  at Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara is one of our favorite Chinese seafood restaurant in Petaling Jaya. Before this, the restaurant was operating near Subang Airport. In Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara, our other favorite Chinese restaurant is the Damansara Village Steamboat Restaurant as blogged on my blog post here . Lala Chong's specialty is their big and juicy lala, thus the name Lala Chong. We saw many customer eating their crab as well but we never had the chance to try their crab. Steamed lala soup is the must order dish here in Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant. The tasty addictive soup goes well with white rice. I can just eat the soup and the rice alone. This dish is also served with candle to keep the soup warm throughout the dinner. Big, fat and juicy lala. The lala are clean and no sand found in the body. Steamed tilapia. Fresh and delicious but personally I'm still prefer steamed Tilapia at Restoran Lan Je Steamed Fish as blogged on my blog post here . ...
