Restoran Chaw Choon - Raja Uda ( NH )

While exploring Jalan Raja Uda , I chanced upon this crazy, packed with so many people dimsum place and have been coming back regularly ever since.

Century egg porridge is my favourite

French beans fried with har mai and sambal too.

Crunchy and delicious !

Kedai Kopi Soon Yuen ( NH )

What's there to eat here for breakfast?

Believe me....a lot ....

Start with the best game textured duck meat dish you'll ever come across.

 Garnished with fried garlic, sawi and beansprouts.

Make sure you order this early or they'll only have the kampung chicken left ( which is way tougher ).

Sai Toh Lim Restaurant ( NH )

Their advent in this area when it was up and coming sparked off another competitor just behind their shoplot. That operator has since gone on to open another three outlets with a much spruced up look today.

Differing views from various customers who are already have dead set preferences, makes it best for you to come and try it for yourself and see which of the two you actually prefer.

Although they do serve dry hokkien mee, most customers go for the koay teow thn'g.

It is different from the Penang island version because over here they put some fishcake slices as well as minced pork in your soup

Paul Bakery ( PF )

Paul is a french bakery chain that is reknowned for its rather reasonably priced offerings

Heard so many rave reviews about it being THE place for bread, established in the 1889 bla bla....thus I want to try this out for myself today

Coca-Cola Diner - breakfast buffet ( NH )

You know you are in good hands when a table laden with thoughtful spreads is placed at the entrance.

Clean and Cosy on the inside.

Yong Pin Restaurant ( NH )

9th January 2013 :

forget everything I said earlier. I ate here today and almost everything was capital FAIL . Only the Tai pau and a peanut mochi dessert wrapped in pandanus leaf passed the test.

Earlier post :

This is not your modern day typical Penang establishment although it spouts a new makeover .

Brightly lit, clean and almost spotless. What more can one ask for ?

Their flavours and recipes are mostly long forgotten but worth many repeat visits for the sake of experiencing the nostalgia of carefully made, good quality food .

Lean Huat for 6am Hokkien Mee ( NH )

Everyone refers to this famous stall as Swee Kong hokkien mee .

So did I until I snapped this picture and realised that they DO have a name after all ! 

Shanghai Inn, Hollywood Plaza - Part 2 ( NH )

After hearing a bunch of old seniors complain about the lack of toilet paper inside each stall and the wet floors , I hurried back

Beef rice rolls.

An eye opening experience.

Shanghai Inn, Hollywood Plaza - Part 1 ( NH )

We want to spoil ourselves today. Having dimsum for breakfast. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of Hollywood Plaza. Have to take the lift up.

Classy entrance

Shui Wah Restaurant, Fa Yuen Street

We decided to have breakfast at Shui Wah restaurant today.

The locals here seem to love eating instant noodles and ham the whole day. Paired with eggs ,toast and ham as well as other combinations later in the day.

As we were not keen on the noodles we requested for a set without it.

I got this after much difficulty getting my message across to the extremely patient and helpful waiter.

Looks like an stingray omelette in flight with two small bra cones on top .

Some swift surgery to expell the contents.....ham..ham..ham...and more ham.

Aiya, I only like french ham nothing else.

Didn't I hear him say this was a Ham Sandwich ?

Don't really like this as the bread roll is too hard, the butter or margarine is not fragrant and the egg ordinary like a flat piece of fried plastic with not much flavouring while the ham tastes like what we can get back home from supermarket delis that sell the lowest priced ham cuts.

He gets something that is not on the menu. Breaded fish fillet.
Damnit. This is really tasty and nice although very thin. Didn't try the bacon nor the tartar sauce. Stole lots of this off his plate.

Till he had to call for a second plate. This time a slight variation from the first. Eggs scrambled (that look scrambled to you ?) and with a sausage instead.

Look at the fish. Split into 2. Perhaps not enough to go around yet they obliged us anyway.

Bill time . Say what ?

Australia Dairy Company, Parkes Street

Heard so much about how good the breakfast here is so this place was a must try.

When we spotted the place, walaueh.... will you look at the line. What to do but wait.

Side view. Hopelessly long. Stretches past 3 shoplots.

By the time we reach their window I start aiming for this star dish of theirs.

Seems they come in 2 colours. White or yellow. I think white is steamed milk and the yellow is an egg.

Surprisingly the long line moves along quite fast. But once we arrive at the entrance we realise that everyone has to share tables amongst organised chaos. Packed to the brim !

We struggle along to get a gist of what we want to order with my very basic Cantonese. And actually get out order faster than one local sharing space with us.

Tadaaaa.....what the heck is this. Don't care lah just swallow.

It's steamed milk with sugar that is too sweet for my liking. Hmmm...an acquired taste I think because it has absolutely killed any trace of the smell of milk. Didn't enjoy this at all since I do like my milk to smell and taste milky.

He on the other hand enjoyed the cold version.

Scrambled eggs between two slices of bread and scrambled eggs on top of one slice of bread. Sigh. I don't want to bug any waiter at this point.

However one bite changed our perception of what scrambled egg ought to taste like forever. I've never tasted anything like this. This is indeed good. Slightly salty but very good.

We also had an exceptional cold glass of coffee that sent a shiver of delight down my spine. Excellent wake me up ! Tastes totally different from any coffee I have ever had. Thick, fragrant, rich and invigorating .

Didn't take pics of that out of consideration for the poor guy who still didn't get his order after we had left.

( PF ) Joo Leong Cafe, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah

If you are on the way to the airport, and you come across a long row of cars parked on the side, with a hive of activity and people, from morning till night, it's got to be the one and only Joo Leong Cafe.

In business for over 50 years already, they are reknowned for Teochew seafood noodles and porridge cooked without monosodium glutamate.

Loke Sok Seafood,Public Cafe - Gurney Drive ( NH )

This restaurant is located along the famous Gurney Drive .

I have to mention that they are rather inconsistent and it can be quite frustrating as your favourites dishes today may be completely different next week or even non existent at all.

Yet,I always harbour a glimmer of hope, that perhaps on that day,the one dish that I want, WILL finally be on the menu.

As an example,I've never been able to try their stir fried siew yoke with chives flowers till today and only managed to enjoy their pak cham keh once.

We arrived with the intention to have white oyster mee.

No stock.Sigh.
