Greenlane Chong Fun

This is the branch of the famous Greenland Zu Chong Fun located at the Golden Pheonix Kopitiam, Sungai Dua, beside the USM. Their Zu Chong Fun is very smooth, and the gravy is extremely thick. The small plate now cost RM3.20 per plate.

The thick gravy is a combination of dark sweet sauce and prawn sauce. It provides a unique flavor and taste that match perfectly well with the Chong Fun (white color rice cake). Some good-smelling sesame is topped on the dish.

The customer will need to mix the thick sauce and the chong fun together in order to enjoy it.

It is called Chong Fun maybe because it looks like pork intestine, but it definitely does not contain any pork in this Penang version of Zu Chong Fun.

Joyce Pan Mee

Located at the Golden Pheonix Kopitiam Sungai Dua, Joyce Pan Mee is one of the popular hawker stalls. The price is still reasonable RM6.50 for the normal Pan Mee.

Pan Mee or the Meehun Koay (called in Southern Malaysia) is a handmade noodle that provides a harder and wider texture compare to normal yellow noodles. The soup is prepared with anchovy that provides the umami and of course some MSGs.

The soup Pan Mee is topped with fried anchovy, vegetables, fishball, and pork. The uniqueness of Joyce Pan Mee is they will provide you a half piece of lime as well. A bit of the sourness will further enhance the taste, just like the Vietnamese pho.

Seoul Style Beef Bulgogi

CU is one of the new chain Korean convenience store bring in by MyNews. There are wide variety of Korean and Japanese food available. I have checked in their branch at the Jalan Kuala Kedah.

It seemed that they do have some happy hour item with up to 25% discount after 7pm. I definitely won’t miss the opportunity to test their Korean bento. I took the Seoul Style Beef Bulgogi Dosirak bento, that cost RM14.99, with 25% off.

I brought it home and heat up using the microwave oven. The taste was fine, just the beef was too sweet. Rice was soft. Kimchi was nice and I hope they can provide more. Other items were just normal and nothing to shout about. Anyway, it is a bento, and we shouldn’t expect too much.
