May 2, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

The next post was first published courtesy of Ken Hunts Food. I usually take pleasure in making time for 1 of their articles or blog posts because they are actually useful. I hope you find it helpful.

14th Coffee 拾肆室 has been taking social media channels by storm despite of its rather hidden location. The place is a residential-terrace turned cafe, with modern, chic and minimalist design. The place can be found behind AEON Mall at Alma; the exterior does not suggest much, especially to a cafe and the best part is, the entrance to the cafe is at the side, not the front… making it extra hard for first timers to come by. Being a vegetarian cafe, the place offers a simple menu featuring some mains (not the usual-boring vegetarian fare) including but not limited to, Shepherd’s Pie, Sandwiches, Noodles and Souffle Cheese Cake. Good quality of food despite wallet-friendly prices.

Cold Sesame Noodles (Rm 11)

Souffle Cheesecake (Rm 7.50)

Matcha Au Lait Ice Cube (Rm 11)

The Cold Sesame Noodles consisted of a mixture of julienned Cucumbers, Carrots, caramelized Vegetarian Ham and Enokitake Mushrooms… served over Sesame Salad dressing. The noodles were silky smooth rather than the al-dente type but the concoction was most refreshing and delicious. They did a nice twist to the Mushrooms by adding Sugar to caramelize them, introducing a tacky-crisp texture and sleek sweetness to the dish.

If you like your Cheese Cakes creamy and rich, you must try 14th Coffee’s. The Cheese element was bold and the texture was satisfyingly creamy. It may be a little too heavy for one to finish entirely though. We washed it down with a serving of Matcha Au Lait Ice Cube… steamed frothy Milk poured over non-sweetened Matcha-infused Ice Cubes.

10 Of The Best Char Koay Teow In Penang

March 24, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia advice.

The following article was shared by Penang Foodie. They will regularly supply you with materials of the very best quality and are therefore without doubt one of my current must-follow writers. I think you’ll get something out of it.

Char Koay Teow, the ultimate MUST-HAVE food in Penang. It’s the food that defines Penang. People travel miles and miles just to taste that oily, charred, dark soy sauce glazed flat noodle. If you did not try char koay teow when in Penang, you have not visited Penang.

Top 10 Best Char Koay Teow in Penang

While there are many places for char koay teow in Penang, only true locals know the best. So, whether you’re a local or tourist, you need this list. Embrace the heritage (food) of Penang guys.

#1 Siam Road Char Koay Teow

The go-to place when it comes to char koay teow in Penang, it’s no secret that they’re the best in town. Did you know the 76-year-old uncle has upped his game? The once roadside stall off Siam Road has now got its own shop, still in Siam Road. That means better environment and longer queue foodies. Expect at least an hour wait during peak hours. Hard work all pays off when you taste the charcoal-flamed, dark-sauce, oil-glazed flavorful plate of flat rice noodle filled with wok hei.

Address: 82, Jalan Siam, George Town, 10400 George Town, Pulau Pinang.

#2 Tiger Char Koay Teow

One of the pioneers of char koay teow in Penang, the name originates from the owner who has a nickname of “ah hor” which means tiger in Hokkien. Ask anyone about CKT and they would recommend Tiger Char Koay Teow besides the Siam Road. Fueled with wok hei and adequate flavors and ingredient, you’ll find yourself loving this plate of oily goodness. Their prawns are juicy and plump which justifies the price, unlike some other places.

#3 Cecil Street Market 七条路巴刹

The secret to a good plate of char koay teow in Penang not only lies within the sauces, but also the wok hei. Charcoal-fired food always tastes better, especially when it comes to char koay teow. Sadly, not every char koay teow in Penang uses charcoal as fuel. Tucked in Cecil Street Market is this charcoal-flamed duck egg koay teow. Friendly uncle, flavorful koay teow especially with duck egg, the price is a lot cheaper compared to other places. Don’t get confused it’s located towards the end of the food section.

Who says all the good food is in the island? Piping hot plate of dark and light soy sauce coated noodle served and not-fried-together duck egg is divine.

Who says you can’t have char koay teow for breakfast? New Cathay Coffee Shop is a popular breakfast spot flocked with locals every day.

Decent portion of lip-smacking rice noodle fried with generous amount of pork lard and bean sprout, what could go wrong? Visit before 2 p.m. as the coffee shop only serves until lunch.

#7 Char Kuey Teow Parit/ Longkang

We all know famous char koay teow in Penang is dark, dry, oily and with pork lards, cockles and prawn. But don’t forget Malaysia is made up of different cultures and races, our Muslim friends couldn’t have it which is a dud. Never mind because they have their own version of char koay teow, and it’s delicious as well. Char Kuey Teow Parit got its name from where it’s located, beside a drain. Rice noodles drenched in thick prawn broth and topped with a fried egg, thumbs up. We did a video on this CKT earlier this year, so click in for some visuals!

#8 Ah Leng Char Koay Teow

Another famous char koay teow in Penang nestled in Air Itam, expect at least half an hour wait for their char koay teow. It’s normal in Penang to queue for good local food. While Ah Leng’s noodle might be a little wetter than the regular CKT, their prawns are huge. You either go for the regular, large or special which comes with mantis prawns. They also have duck egg option, with extra charge of course. You can try some of the best sea foods in Penang.
