PenangKia to Penang for Penang Holiday XD


Yeap semester break now,
and oh boy.. SOOOO BORING AT HOME
Mom tried to find me a job but I dowan
Reason? Lazy...
and wanted to catch up on my reading..

Last weekend was a good one though,
dad came back for the weekend and took
an extra day off on Monday just
so that we can
Jalan jalan cari makan @ Penang..

Well I may be a PenangKia but in fact Im
a lousy one.
Reason 1: My Hokien Sark!@
Reason 2: Where to eat good food ar in Penang? Err I dono?
Except for a few la of course, Bayan Lepas Asam Laksa.. and and and..... Err

Ok enough bad stuff about me..
So guys and girls this will be my 1st attempt to intro you guys
food. And I think I do it quite well becoz I quite fussed with food..

Just before the trip I researched some places
for good food recommended by food critics
is that what u call it?

My first makan stop is a coffee shop
known as Sai Lam Coffee shop.
All the while my family have a craze
for ngau lam fan (beef noodles) and usually
we only get to taste it at Kluang, Johor or Seremban.

Before this, my parents did try to fd ngau lam fan
in Penang but all of them FAILED!@

Sai Lam coffee shop was the 1st who passed!

This coffee shop offers beef wan tan noodles
and also of couse the normal wan tan noodles...

The wan tans we orders as side dish was PErfEcto!
The wantans they offered isnt like those cheap wantans
offered by those normal shops with lil bit of fillings inside.

Apart from the wantan, the noodles was also very good.
Come to think of it, the noodles is very similiar to the wantan
noodles in 'Noodle House' at 3k.
The noodle was very jelly starchy like which gives
it very nice texture, just the way HENG HAO likes it!

See the beef?
The beef was also not overcooked
as some of you may know if beef is overcooked then
it gets hard to chew and taste like chicken breast meat yuck..

Thats my family in the table with 4 person ^^
As you can see its a small coffee shop
and its located at the
Junction of Chulia and Carnavon Street

Hehe surprise? See? Cannot?
Okay I zoomed in.
SHocked?!@#
This is just outside the shop beside the drain..
Yea Cleanliness issue at penang?
Zzz

For those who wana fd this coffee shop, its just opposite
Rainforest bakery.
PS: Not very good bread shop...

This is what the shop looks like.
Sai Lam coffee shop.
Oh ya I came to knw this shop from CK Lam if not mistaken.
The name of the shop at the site is Sai Lai which ... is wrong..
So if you guys wana look at the pros search for Sai Lai at CK's webby

This is the famous Gurney Drive Stalls at Gurney..
Crowded eh? Just fyi... me and my family didn't makan here..
Tourist place.. Food exp..
And no famous stall aso..

AHA!@ LOOK PPL! LOOK HOW CLEAN
GURNEY IS!@$!#$
UNCIVILISED PENANG KIAS Zzz

Wee Penang's very own TIMES SQUARE
is opening real soon!@
Can't wait!@ but most likely December la... Haiz..
Now stil lots of empty shop lots..

OKAY OKAY another FOOD INTRO
THIS ONE IS OMG FTW!@$

Saw the above?
What's that? Coconut la..
Eh how come the coconut like that d.. Spoiled coconut?
How come the water harden liao d.. Like Jelly?
EXACTLY! ITS COCONUT JELLY!
and guess what, ITS NATURAL!@

No JELLY powder tricks and all..!!
No preservatives!#%#@
Surprised?
Well I did.

The coconut water inside actually turned into Jelly like
texture after a few tricks. Not entirely became Jelly though..
you still can taste a lil bit of coconut water.. but 95% of it has become Jelly.



So whats the Science behind it?
These ppl actually heated the coconuts and then
cooled them down. Simple?
Well that's what it says on the top..
The pic above originately from CK's webby also.
Search for it if you wana see the whole article clearly.

The coconut jelly shop
Ops forgot to mention, this shop is located near
Patani Road Police HQ..
The address is 201, Jalan Dato Kramat

NOW NOW third special food intro
I'm sure most of us tried you cha koay aka 'you tiao'
right?
How long was it?
5 inch? 7 inch?

Well ever tried a 14 inch you cha koay?
yup 14 inch..

HERE IT IS!@
IN PENANG!@#@$


LONG LONG you tiao in Basket..

I didn't have a ruler with me at that time
so I use my hand..
Oh ya btw my hand is slightly longer.. some of you knew already.. ==


So whats so special about it besides long?
This fellow also thought of different ways of eating you tiao

1st one on the top is you tiao with sausage and mayonnaise
2nd one is tuna and mayonnaise
3rd one is chicken floss and mayonnaise

I tried the floss one and its GOOD!@

There's also kaya and butter
Peanut and butter
And Honey and butter

Where is this place? Don't worry haha
