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.

Mama Kim Sauna Mee Located At Tanjung Tokong, Penang

April 5, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia news.

One additional post by What2seeonline.com. In my opinion 1 of the most popular generators of information and facts you can find.

With the motto “Where Healthy is Yummy”, Mama Kim Sauna Mee is the place for everyone to experience a nutritious healthy meal in Penang. Located at the junction of Jalan Tanjung Tokong and Jalan Pantai Molek, the eatery offers a casual atmosphere and a menu that’s easy to order from.

The menu brings out Asian, Western and local dishes prepared with less salt, with no MSG, no white sugar and no white flour. Vegetables take center stage, and only brown rice is used!

One of Mama Kim’s highlights is the Sauna Mee 桑拿面, with choices of Fish Sauna Mee with fish soup, or Vegetarian Sauna Mee with vegetarian soup. Both offer options of brown rice, pumpkin noodles, and mushroom rice noodles.

The bowl of Sauna Mee arrived in a special heated hot stone bowl, with a balanced combination of more than five healthy colours of vegetables. Slow-cooked soup (refillable) is poured onto the noodles upon serving. The warming dish is best savored with their homemade chili sauce and fried garlic.

Fish Sauna Mee

The Fried Wild Mushroom Fried Rice 野菌炒饭 is a comfort fare, with a variety of mushrooms, carrot, and vegetables whipped up with a pleasing, smoky taste. The accompaniment is a simple salad, a combination of shredded purple and white cabbage, carrot, and corn. Chili padi in light soy sauce gives the dish a spicy kick.

Wild mushroom fried rice RM11.90

Porridge is a simple and light dish to warm the stomach. At Mama Kim, enjoy the comforting choices of creamy black and green porridge, brighten up with savory salty preserved accompaniments.

Black porridge (vege) RM7.50

Green porridge (vege) RM7.50

Mama Kim also puts together a kids menu with six choices. Small eaters can try choices of herbal chicken chop (RM9.90) and the tomato baked fish rice (RM10). The two dishes are essentially smaller versions from the full sized order.

The chicken chop is well executed especially when it comes to the accompanying sauce and creamy boiled potatoes.

Kids menu – herbal chicken chop RM9.90

Nourishing desserts are also made in-house and there’s a total of three. All are priced below seven ringgit and choices include black sesame, lo hon koa and the lotus crystal pear. The lotus crystal pear dessert is utterly delightful but the black sesame dessert offers only mild nuttiness.

Lotus crystal pear dessert RM6.50

Black sesame dessert – not as nutty and aromatic as I expected

In addition to fresh drinks like lemongrass tea, pineapple, and fruit tea, you can also order a cup of Mama Kim Coffee. Have a sip of the local coffee with a bite of the complimentary coconut biscuit. And of course, diehard coconut biscuit fans can buy the biscuit at the eatery too.

The eatery is open daily from 8am to 10pm. For those waking up early, the breakfast menu offers healthy good deals. Choose between the soup noodles, fried noodles or porridge, with prices starting from RM3.90 to RM7.50.

Three Fifteen @ Jelutong, Penang

April 3, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia advice.

Latest article presented from Ken Hunts Food. Surely one of the most popular providers of free material available.

Three Fifteen 三点三 Meet is a place that you get to enjoy local breakfast in a city but surrounded by serene village setting. It’s hard to come by… imagine enjoying local Kaya Butter Toast while watching the chickens moving freely within the compound. The place can be found right opposite to Lam Wah Ee Hospital along Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim; it is manned by one of the residents staying in the village houses, part of the compound is transformed into a breakfast place. Do not expect big menu though… merely simple Hainanese-styled Toasts, Polo Bun, Half Boiled Egg etc. It is one of the best places to visit aside from Seafood Noodle and Porridge that you can find at Gurney Drive, Penang.

Polo Bun (Rm 3.20/ additional Rm 1.50 for Turkey Ham)

Kaya Butter Toast (Rm 2.40)

Half Boiled Egg (Rm 2.40)

Three Fifteen uses Charcoal to toast the bread, imparting a mellow, but distinctive smokiness to the Toast. Though nothing particularly amazing about the Kaya, the Toasts do make great addition to the Hainanese-styled breakfast and complete everything. Three Fifteen’s specialty is the Polo Bun… with additional toppings. We had ours with Cheese, greens and slivers of Turkey Ham. The outer layer of the Polo Bun carries a little sweetness so it is an interesting match with the savory toppings. Nothing particularly interesting here though.

Police Allowed Solidarity Rally On Saturday

March 30, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia news bites.

The next video clip was first created courtesy of The Star Online. I always take pleasure in making time for 1 of their news releases because they’re remarkably interesting. I think you’ll get something out of it.

Police have given green light to the ‘Peace, Solidarity Rally’ which will be held in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun.

The IGP said the permit will nonetheless only allow the rally, which aimed to condemn the shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand last Friday, which killed 50 people, including two Malaysians, to go on at Dataran Merdeka from 7.30am to 11am.

A previous Return to Penang Port campaign was also allowed.

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.
Operating Hour: 12 p.m.-5 p.m. (Closed on Sundays&Mondays)

#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.

Address: 179, Lebuh Carnarvon, George Town, 10450 George Town, Pulau Pinang.

#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.

We all know famous char koay teow in Penang is dark, dry, oily and with pork lards, cockles and prawn.

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!

March 22, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang advice.

The following offering was indeed provided courtesy of The Star Online. These people continuously present you with info of the very best quality consequently they are without doubt one of my own go-to YouTube channels. I hope you get something out of it.

A total of 73 people from nine families became homeless when seven wooden houses in Kampung Bahru in Sibu, Sarawak were destroyed in a noon fire on Friday.

Central Zone Bomba chief Wan Kamaruddin said 25 firemen were dispatched to the scene but it took them 40 minutes to contain the fire due to hot weather and strong wind.

The cause of the fire was not yet known, but the department said that they would send a forensic expert to do an investigation.

A strange fire incident happened in 2016 when firemen were dispatched only to find that the people in the vicinity mistook dengue fogging for fire.

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

October 7, 2010 By Keith Leave a Comment

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion

This turn of the century Mansion was built in 1890 by the most influential foreign merchant of his time who came from from Nanying, China. Moving to Penang he went on to develop his empire of shipping, opium and mining in South East Asia.

This truly amazing house is a fusion of east-west architecture with distinct European styling and stained glass windows with a real feel from its Chinese roots. The house could be said to epitomize the cultural blend of Penang. Today the house is open as a museum for visitors to get a glimpse of a bygone era and learn more about Cheong’s history through its antiques and paraphernalia on display.
