A Penang food guide based on my personal views and tastes, archiving the great finds and the personal favourites, so that hopefully it will provide some answers to the question "where to eat?" Comes with dashes of recipes and rants & raves about life in general...Chinese food

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008The place - Hai Nan Town restaurant
The occasion - to finally put faces to our online personalities
The result - Lots and lots of fun, food, laughter and photography!
I walked in at 7pm. Only to be intercepted by Buzzing Bee, who immediately stuck out her hand to say hi! I was a bit surprised that she […]
Terubong Seafood @ Paya Terubong
Sunday, July 13th, 2008I hardly venture into Paya Terubong/Air Itam area for some strange reason, though this place holds one of the best seafood places in Penang, if I dare say.
Cheap and good is what you will find at Terubong Seafood. Usually packed with locals tucking into fresh seafood, my dad told us we’d go at […]
Overseas Restaurant @ Jln Imbi, KL
Friday, May 23rd, 2008While I sort out my photos (and get translations of the foods I ate in China), here’s something really good I had during my trips to KL.
Overseas Restaurant at Jalan Imbi is no stranger in the Chinese food scene. Having been established for so long, its easy to overlook this place sometimes. I for one […]
Hau Kee Seafood Restaurant @ Cheras, KL
Thursday, April 24th, 2008I have heard my friend sing praises of the food at Hau Kee Seafood Restaurant in Cheras at Yulek area. Therefore, on a recent trip to KL, I suggested that we put his praises to the test.
We arrived at Hau Kee around 8.30pm. The place, which has expanded to cover 4 shop lots, was packed, […]
Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice
Thursday, April 17th, 2008Ah the good ol’ chicken rice… a staple of our Malaysian diet, unhealthy as it may seem (oily but oh so fragrant rice and all).
I’m sure each of us would have our very own favourite chicken rice stall. And one of my favourites would definitely have to be… Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice along […]
Sawara Yong Tao Foo @ Pulau Tikus Penang
Monday, March 31st, 2008Whenever I want to have something simple and wholesome, Sawara Restaurant at Burmah Road comes to mind. They started out as a humble lil restaurant serving mainly yong tao foo items made with 100% mackerel fish and some noodle dishes. Since then, the menu has flourished to include many other items like fresh fish slices, […]
Hakka Connexion @ Jalan Bawasah
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008I have unintentionally blogged about two foodie places along Jalan Bawasah back to back it seems, what with my earlier post.
Hakka Connexion is a quaint comfy lil’ restaurant in a lovely colonial house. Narrow and long, with high ceilings. Upon entering the restaurant, there are photos of a typical Hakka village in China […]
Zi Wei Yuan Steamboat @ Raja Uda, Butterworth
Friday, February 29th, 2008At the last minute, a group of friends and I decided to meet up for dinner last Saturday since we were all too busy to meet over Chinese New Year. Since it was a weekend, we decided to go a bit further than we usually do for food - across the Penang Bridge to Raja […]
Tian Tian (Everyday Supreme) Restaurant @ Red Rock Hotel
Thursday, January 17th, 2008Red Rock Hotel is the ex Agora Hotel along Macalister Road that had undergone a recent renovation and facelift. And it is home to this delightful Chinese Restaurant - Tian Tian (Everyday Supreme)!
We recently had a dinner for 14 pax and I enjoyed every single dish! So let’s get on with the food….
For starters […]
Nyonya Breeze @ Abu Siti Lane
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Nyonya Breeze used to be located next to Naza Hotel in Tanjung Bungah. But recently, they moved to Abu Siti Lane, off Macalister Road. Located opposite Choo Plaza, its bright green signboard is hard to miss.
My family is always in search of good nyonya food, as my late grandma was a fantastic cook who would […]
