Eng Aun At Cross Roads

whats-on-penang-Eng-Aun-At-Cross-Roads-tsrEng Aun would not be foreign to those who frequent the aged and colourful Chowrasta Market in George Town.

It is located in a corner shop house at the cross junction of Kimberley Street and Kangsar Road.

Many regulars patronise the place for their house specialties that are available on selected days; pork spare ribs in soy sauce are sold on Thursdays, pork knuckle in vinegar and ginger are available on Saturdays and minced pork patty noodle and braised pork knuckle on Sundays.

The daily regulars are fish meat noodles, koay teow th’ng and stewed chicken feet.

With the business owners not getting any younger, the eatery only opens for business 5 days per week from 7:00am to 12:00pm daily, closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Operated by a family, the food is prepared bym a loving middle-age couple and the drinks are made to order by their sister.

whats-on-penang-Eng-Aun-At-Cross-Roads-02During our last visit we had the pleasure to sample their Braised Pork Knuckle Noodle, slow braised pork knuckles in soy sauce and five-spice served with freshly blenched ‘yee mee’ or deep fried noodles.

The meat was moist and the layers of skin and fats were firmly tender with a starchy texture.

Each bite brings a complex bouquet of sweet meaty taste blended with savouriness and nuttiness with a hint of five-spice. The additional toppings of chopped coriander and spring onions gave it additional aromatics and freshness.

Their Minced Pork Patty Noodle is also something to watch out for.

The juicy pan fried minced pork patties are braised in a special homemade gravy that resembles the taste of the “Loh Mee” gravy found in Singapore that I first had many years ago while living there.whats-on-penang-Eng-Aun-At-Cross-Roads-03

It has a distinctive spicey taste with a light sweetness that blends well with the taste of the mince patties. The mince patties were pan fried until the surface was caramelised and the middle still moist and tender.

Our preferred combination is koay teow + Bee hoon in clear soup for a smooth and grainy contrast, with the braised pork patties on the side to preserve the original flavours of the braising gravy and pork patties.

Another special of theirs is the Stewed Chicken Feet in dark soy with thick shitake mushroom.

The chicken feet were cooked until soft but yet still maintained their shape and form, the shitake mushrooms tender and full of flavours from the stewing gravy and collagen rich chicken feet.
