George Town Discovery Walk Photobook

Penang is definitely an ideal place for a discovery walk. It is where merchants landed their anchors after sailing from faraway lands to make fortunes. While being here, they brought their languages, customs and traditions along. Over time, the state evolved into a melting pot of cultures. Hence, the old streets, historical buildings, distinctive architecture and world-famous street arts are heavily influenced by a blend of both eastern and western cultures.

This 7th July 2022, to celebrate George Town UNESCO Heritage Day, George Town Festival (GTF) and George Town Heritage Celebrations (GTHC) are doing a Discovery Walk for us to learn, appreciate and cherish our multicultural heritage and the vibrant state of Penang together.

An informative article about Penang.

Sin Boon Kee Coffee Concept Store 新文记咖啡 located at Jelutong in Penang is way beyond coffee. The pork-free cafe which is a stone’s throw distance away from its coffee factory has drawn visitors for its local coffee and also food. With 70 plus years in the coffee industry, the store churns out thick and aromatic coffee using Robusta coffee beans from Indonesia. You can have the black or white coffee steaming hot or icy cold.

For food, the outlet has cooked up a range of local dishes for that unique Malaysian element. All items can be ordered a la carte or as part of a set that includes a warm drink. You can replace the warm drink with a cold version at an additional cost of RM1.

Hot and icy cold local coffee

Nanyang Butter Kaya Roti is Malaysia’s traditional breakfast of toast and kampung egg. The nicely toasted Bengali bread with a spread of butter and kaya jam comes with a half-boiled kampung egg. You would be inclined to have the egg enhanced with dash of pepper powder and light soy sauce.

Nanyang Butter Kaya Roti Set RM7.90

Polo Bun

The Curry Chicken on the other hand has a chicken drumstick in a rich curry prepared using milk instead of coconut milk. One can have it paired with either rice or noodles. If those are not your choices, try having it with steamed Bengali bread.

Curry Chicken Roti with Steamed Bread Set RM9.90

Be sure to order the aromatic Turmeric Fried Rice where a lot of attention is paid to using spices to enhance the flavor. The rice is super tasty and the menu offers a concoction of the turmeric fried rice with several dishes options – chicken chop, ayam goreng, or ikan rempah.

The ikan rempah is a seafood choice, with the fried hardtail mackerel stuffed with onions and sambal spices.

Ikan Rempah Turmeric Rice Set RM15.90

Cheang Kee 蒋记 @ Tanjung Bungah, Penang.

May 7, 2022 By Keith Leave a Comment

An informative post on Penang.

Previously located at Chulia Street, Cheang Kee has relocated to a new location nearer to the waters at Tanjung Bungah. The location is a little quite hidden… deep inside the residential area of Tanjung Bungah. Visitors can find the place via the junction adjacent to the Tanjung Bungah market and the entrance to the restaurant can be found at the far end of a no-through road. Cheang Kee now occupies a bigger beach-side space with slightly bigger menu than before. The restaurant now offers Steamboat options with some Western-styled grills apart from the usual Chinese menu. Price range remains the same and the consistency in terms of quality; the place has a better dining atmosphere than before (especially for those who prefer a more outdoorsy or closer-to-nature ambiance). It is best to reserve your table as the place has limited seating available and it gets very busy during weekends.

Seafood Porridge (Rm 21.90)

Seafood Fried Vermicelli Noodles (Rm 21.90)

Claypot Tofu with Assorted Vegetables (Rm 21.90)

BBQ Boneless Chicken Thigh (Rm 12.90)

Mining Support Services & Equipment (NEC)

Iced Rose Pu Erh (Rm 7.90 each)

We really enjoyed the Seafood Porridge, the texture was amazing and there was a deep flavor in the Porridge… amazingly, we did not discover bad thirst after the meal. They were quite generous with the Seafood as well, we had some Fish, few big Prawns and Flower Clams in the Porridge serving. Our only complain… the Porridge got cold too fast. Another main dish- Seafood Fried Vermicelli Noodles, was equally good. The same amount of Seafood was given but the serving portion for the Vermicelli Noodles was bigger than the Porridge. The seasoning however, was on the heavier side… but it was overall, still pretty good. The rest of the dishes did not disappoint and for the 2 of us, the damage came up a little more than Rm100… not exactly very cheap but we were glad that we left the place with a satisfied tummy.
