Cheang Kee 蒋记 @Chulia Street, George Town, Penang – Penang Prawn Mee & Fish Head Noodle

September 7, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Another blog post freshly published by What2SeeOnline.com. I hope you enjoy!

Penang Prawn Mee and Fish Head Noodle are some of Penang’s comfort noodle bowls. For those yearning for these noodles, head over to Cheang Kee 蒋记 at Chulia Street in George Town. The outlet provides its customers with a pleasant air-conditioned red brick design interior.

Cheang Kee’s simple Chinese menu offers the famous Penang prawn mee, and the claypot prawn mee served in individual hot claypot. The kitchen has been churning up bowl after bowl of prawn mee with prawns, fried onions, egg, and beansprout.

Furthermore, you can add-on pork ribs, roasted pork belly, and pork ball. If you want to go upscale, add-on deep-fried mantis prawn, hotate scallop, and big white prawn.

The broth of the Penang Prawn Mee has prawn aroma and the sweetness of the seafood and bones that are used to simmer in. The noodles work well with the broth, especially accented with the accompanying chili paste.

Claypot Prawn Mee RM8.80

And if you’re just looking for something light and non-spicy, the Fish Head Noodle RM12.90 is a dish you would go for. Many loves eating this bowl of noodle served in a milky fish broth with pieces of fish head, ginger, and aromatic garnishing. On a final note, you can have the dish loaded with extra ingredients like fish fillet, big white prawn, and pork slices.

The outlet also offers several super value lunch sets. The prices are quite reasonable, with a set of Deep-fried Patin Fish Noodle and a drink at just RM10.90. The lunches are especially popular for those looking for a quick meal.

Fish Head Noodle RM12.90

On the beverage menu, you will find hot tea, mineral water, beer or strawberry yogurt smoothie to pair with your meal. There is nothing better than a warm cup of tea.

With the focus on the noodles, the outlet also serves mini hotpot sets of pork belly, Australian beef, white prawn, and grouper fish. The menu tells that the hotpot comes with a choice of thin rice noodle, thick rice noodle, yellow noodle, instant noodle, koay teow or rice.

The piping hotpot certainly is comfort food and will make a lot of tummies happy with its lightly flavored broth and four kinds of condiment – chili sauce, ginger sauce, coriander and of course, deep-fried pork lard.

Pork Belly Hot Pot RM21.90

Cheang Kee is an ideal place to visit day and night with its business hours from 11.30am till 10.30pm. The closing day is on Wednesday.

Din Ding Tea 津鼎茶 @ The Promenade, Bayan Lepas, Penang.

August 28, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Another great post from Ken Hunt. Lovely photos and great content; enjoy!

Just as we thought another Bubble Milk Tea is opening up at The Promenade, we were surprised to find out that Din Ding Tea 津鼎茶 is actually a restaurant offering a Chinese menu. The new kid on the block has a cozy, tranquil setting… with Chinese Tea Pots and knick-knacks adorning the walls while the tables and chairs are all Chinese-themed, pretty much suited to the theme. While the place has a very Chinese decor, the menu is a blend of local and Chinese dishes… featuring South East Asian delights like Nasi Lemak, Thai styled Chicken, Fish and curry dishes. Prices are on the steeper side though the serving portions are fairly large….

Fried Fish Fillet Bee Hoon 清汤鱼片米粉 (Rm 18.90)

Nasi Lemak with Lemongrass Chicken Chop 特制香茅鸡扒椰浆饭 (Rm 19.90)

Sesame Oil Chicken 古早味麻油鸡 (Rm 16.90)

One of their signature dishes- Sesame Oil Chicken was pretty good… tenderly cooked Chicken Thigh topped with crisp Ginger floss; the Sesame Oil flavor was bold and the dish was expertly seasoned. It would be a dish that goes perfectly well with Rice. Both Fried Fish Fillet Bee Hoon and Nasi Lemak with Lemongrass Chicken Chop were little less-exciting… the former one was merely disappointingly average Fish Fillet Bee Hoon (a decent one) while the latter choice was Nasi Lemak, though served with a slab of Lemongrass-marinated Chicken Chop. The Sambal was not as spicy as we would have hoped and the Egg could have been better replaced with Sunny Side Up. Not exactly a bad Nasi Lemak but definitely can be better.

34 Bishop @ Bishop Street, Georgetown, Penang.

July 24, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia tips.

The following submission was indeed produced courtesy of Ken Hunts Food. They frequently provide videos of the best quality so are no doubt one of my must-watch writers. You are going to enjoy.

Replacing the lot previously occupied by Simply Wang Thai is 34 Bishop, a newly opened cafe right next to Two Frenchies on Bishop Street. The name surely does not ring a bell (except the location) but in actual fact, it is a cafe offering Western menu… as well as some local delights. Step in the place and you will find a huge aquarium in the middle of the cafe, with a few eye-catching polka dot Stingrays. You will then notice they are all over the place… on the menu and mural paints on the wall but it has no direct relationship with what the place offers (except that there is only one Stingray dish on the menu). Options are pretty safe here with good consistency and reasonable prices; but sometimes, the serving time takes a little longer than other places.

Lamb Stew with Garlic Toasts (Rm 26.90)

Miso Wafu Pasta (Rm 17.90)

Creamy Fettuccine with Chicken (Rm 16.90)

Piri Piri Chicken (Rm 21.90)

States and federal territories of Malaysia

Bananas Foster French Toast (Rm 15.90)

We were there on one of the early Chinese New Year days and the serving speed was very slow. It took them a little less than an hour to serve the mains and another half an hour for the dessert. We were quite disappointed with their serving speed and hope that it was because of Chinese New Year and nothing else.

Both Pasta dishes did not disappoint… with Miso Wafu Pasta stands out more. The Spaghetti was al-dentely cooked and served with rich and creamy Japanese-styled Goma sauce. The Miso flavor was not strong but the Sesame flavor was bold. The sauce felt a little salty at the beginning but it gets better when the Spaghetti was well-mixed together. Lamb Stew with Garlic Toasts was the star dish of the day, the meat was tender and the flavor-combo was beautifully done. The accompanying Garlic Toasts were not shabby either, the texture was fluffy and soft, almost like buttered Brioche. The seasonings were however, on the heavier side. We ended the meal with their Bananas Foster French Toast… ordinary ersatz Toast served on a bed of Caramel sauce. It did not seem convincing at first but the Caramel sauce was delicious. It was not saccharine sweet but just good enough at comfortable level, we were a little let down with the choice of Toast though, Brioche might work better in this case.

14th Coffee Located At Taman Seri Impian, Bukit Mertajam, Penang

May 2, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang advice.

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.

Plaque Noire Dessert & Cocktail Bar At Kimberley Street, Georgetown, Penang

April 30, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang tips.

The following piece of writing was in fact provided by Ken Hunts Food. They typically provide you with posts of the highest quality and are therefore one of my current must-watch blogs. I’m guessing you’ll enjoy.

The concept of combining two beloved things- desserts and cocktails has been creating excitements at the other parts of the world. Introducing this playful concept to Penang, Plaque Noire is the first of its kind. The proprietor was trained in Taiwan and France before settling down in Penang. Painted in shades of black, the place exudes a mysterious sense; as you walk in, you will be greeted by the friendly servers. The place is not big… only with limited seating but visitors can opt to enjoy their booze at the bar counter or the tables at the end of the bar. Offering-wise, it has a small selection of sweets, which to be changed and updated on monthly-basis; a list of in-house Cocktails and classic blend. Prices however, are on the higher side but the quality is set to impress.

Apple- Cinnamon Sable/ Red Wine Apple/ Coconut Rum Chantilly/ Cheesecake/ Vanilla Ice Cream (Rm 32)

Heavenly Chocolate- 70% Dark Chocolate Mascarpone/ White Chocolate Crunch/ Coco Shards/ Walnut Brownie/ Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream (Rm 45)

Goddess of Love- Strawberry infused Gin/ Soda/ Fresh Mint (Rm 29)

1930’s- Yakult/ Gin/ Coconut Rum (Rm 30)

Summer of Splash- Watermelon/ Fresh Mint/ Sprite/ Vodka (Rm 32)

Start off with one of the best sellers- Apple… a beautifully combination of Cinnamon Sable and Red Wine Apple, complete with frozen Cheesecake and Vanilla Ice Cream. The Cinnamon-Apple combo needs no further introduction, the bomb was the Vanilla Ice Cream… deliciously creamy with bold-alluring Vanilla flavor. We were certainly impressed but not until we had Heavenly Chocolate…. a dish not to be missed by Chocolate lovers. The dessert plate gathered everything chocolaty… starting from the nutty Chocolate Brownie and creamy Mascarpone…. to Chocolate Ice Cream and Shards. The combination was multi-dimensional and it did not feel too “heavy” despite of the creamy-chocolaty elements around. Hands-down, one of the best Chocolate creations I’ve ever had.

While lifting up the spoons for the desserts, remember to take a sip on the mixed drinks. Goddess of Love was a little heavy on alcohol; while Summer Splash felt more refreshing with a fruity-touch. 1930’s was a little playful and unusual, as though we were drinking Yakult over Ice; the booziness was kept minimal.

Biggest Songkran Festival – Enjoy Music Concert And Food Festival At Design Village

April 27, 2019 By Keith Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia tips and news.

The following submission was indeed created by Penang Foodie. They will typically have posts of the highest quality consequently they are no doubt one of my current must-watch blog writers. I think you will get something out of it.

Before jumping into the fun water-splashing part, let’s get ourselves educated on what’s Songkran all about aye. Unbeknownst to many, Songkran is an important event on the Buddhist calendar, this water festival marks the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year. The name ‘Songkran’ comes from a Sanskrit word meaning ‘passing’ or ‘approaching’. Though over the years, Songkran has evolved into something really fun. Still, let’s not forget the real reason why we celebrate it!

The most exciting part about this food festival? When you buy and enjoy snacks from the food festival, you’re simultaneously also contributing to a charity course. Yes, you heard me right! In association with YANA Charity Association, the main aim of the food festival is to raise funds for SJK(C) Keng Koon.

SRJK(C) Keng Koon is currently sourcing for funds to help expend the compound and capability of the school to accommodate more students in the incoming years. The number of students they have right now as we’re speaking is around 1, 200 students divided into morning and afternoon classes. With no field nor parking spots for the parents, the school is looking for a solution to solve their problems.

Their solution lies within purchasing more compounds for the expanding plans of the school. Before they jump into the project, they’re targetting to purchase the land surrounding the school compound worth of 3.3 million – 1.9 in acres. They’ll need all the help they can get! Peeps, let’s not hesitate to offer some help!

How Do I Help?

There are 2 ways to how you can help. First of all, the fees collected from the food stalls in the Food Festival will be donated to SRJK(C) Keng Koon. Not just that, donation booth will be set up during the day itself so you can head over there to make your donation be it big or small, it’s the heart that matters most! Or, you can make the donation straight to YANA Charity Association. Either way, your help is much needed!

With 60 stalls waiting for you to come and explore them, you can now enjoy delicious bite-sized food and refreshing beverages, buy handmade fragrant soup and shop for your dog’s articles of clothing all under one roof. Before I get going, there’s also a booth dedicated to dogs and puppies who are in need of a cosy and belonging home that only you can give. They’re up for adoption! If you’re a responsible person and also looking for a true buddy, you’d find one here! Always adopt!
