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.

Cafe Emas Tu Ka Rice

Cafe Emas Tu Ka Rice or the Stewed Pork Leg Rice is one of the best in Alor Setar.

The stewed pork leg rice is filled with tender stewed pork, tofu, egg, salted vege, and chooi sum. You must not miss the gravy to be put on top of the rice, it is so special and delicious.

The price of hawker food now is keeping increasing after the pandemic. It now costs more than RM7 for one serving. Still, it is worth every penny that you pay.

Just one thing to be reminded that the stall owner does not always open their stall like others. You better check it out when visited to Cafe Emas.

Penang Famous Fried Oysters Omelette at Bayan Baru Food Court

Fried oysters omelette or Oh Jian in Hokkien is one of the famous snacks in Penang. There are many kopitiams offering this local dish but the quality is varied. I would like to recommend here the Oh Jian at Bayan Baru Food Court.

I am growing up as a Bayan Baru boy, and this Oh Jian stall is one of my favourite since childhood. I grown up in a hawker’s family and the Oh Jian owner was our neighbour at the old Bayan Baru hawker center, which is now the Sunshine Square. Most of the stalls moved to the new Bayan Baru Food Court nowadays.

Bayan Baru Fried Oysters

The Bayan Baru Fried Oysters is passed to the next generation now, but sometimes the owner will come to make the cooking, which is always the best. The Oh Jian is filled with plenty of eggs, spring onions, big oysters, etc.

Bayan Baru Fried Oysters

The smell is really good and taste a bit of complex mixtures. When you eat the fried eggs, the eggs taste good, but if you eat the sticky starch, the spring onions smells will be coming out and presented with very soft texture. Of course the main role is the oysters, they are fresh and can even burst out the juiciness when you bite.

Bayan Baru Oh Jian

There are different size available S, M, L just like your t-shirts. Price starting from RM8. Hope the young owner can still maintain his father’s legacy for many years to come.

This is the real secret of their fried oysters. It smells very good and if you dip it with Putien special chili sauce will even make it taste better.

Putien Special Chili Sauce

The fried oysters were very well prepared which is not too dry. But we did encounter in other of their Putein branch where the signatured dish was too dry and added with very few oysters, totally disappointed with the failed fried oysters.

Fried oyster omelet is a dish that I enjoyed very much since I was a kid. I will show you what is the best fried oysters on Penang Island, the place that populated with so many picky mouths.

Nasi Lemak Udang

U Nasi Lemak

My son asked me what does the “U” on the Nasi Lemak means? I told him that it stand for “Otak Udang” or “Shrimp Head”. Just kidding, the “U” stand for Udang or Shrimp.

The Udang Nasi Lemak tastes different from the normal BT Nasi Lemak. The gravy is yellow in color and it is not as spicy bad the BT version.

It taste very well with the fat rice.

Nasi Lemak Bilis Telur

Nasi Lemak (Fat Rice?) is one of the favourite food for Malaysian. Nasi Lemak for breakfast, Nasi Lemak for Lunch, Nasi Lemak for tea time, Nasi Lemak for dinner, Nasi Lemak for supper… it is so popular until it might appeared on your dinning table in every possible way.

Nasi Lemak BT

Don’t be surprise that this Fat Rice was selected as one of the most healthy food by CNN, I am not sure if our Malaysian Health Ministry will be agreed with them. As the more Malaysian eat, the bigger our size has become. We are already the Champion in Southeast Asia, yes, you might guess. Malaysia is the Champion of Overweight Population!

I don’t think we should blame the Fat Rice as many others Malaysian favorite like the Roti Canai also very high in calories. Another piece of new information, the Roti Canai has been selected as the best snacks in 2022.

Nasi Lemak Bilis Telur (BT)

Delicious Malaysian food shouldn’t be blame for our Champion status and increasing NCD population, as not everyone can be like Datuk Lee Chong Wei, practice badminton everyday. We rather prefer to practice our eyeballs exercise on hourly basis.

Anyway, Malaysian still happy go lucky. After all complaining the high calories Fat Rice, there are still dua bungkus Nasi Lemak on my dinning table.
