Posted by Food Promotions On 7:10 AM 0 comments

Penang has been nominated in The New York Times "The 44 Places To Go in 2009" as a result of Reader Recommendations. Penang has been categorized under frugal and foodie places to go in 2009. Article can also be found from The Star.

Foodies are now turning to Penang one of South-East Asia's liveliest street-food scene, which rules as the culinary capital of Malaysia, for delicious pan-Asian flavors of Hawker Food, such as the Char Koey Teow, Curry Mee or Asam Laksa.

Today, we are going to introduce to all our readers on the famous Hawker Food that can be easily found in Penang.

Being a fan of Char Koay Teow, I hunt around Penang Island for the best one. Penang is very famous for having the best Char Koay Teow in Malaysia and what's more if we can find the BEST in Penang?

Ah Leng Char Koay Teow. It is located opposite the famous Stadium Curry Mee.

Many of you have heard of him, if you are a local Penangnite.

Ah Leng Char Koay Teow is famous for having a special chili sauce to fry the Koay Teow.

What makes it tasty is, it is fried with pork oil (non-halal) and using charcoal to fry the koay teow.

Ah Leng Char Koay Teow RM 5.00 (Regular)

Ah Leng, the cook is also good at controling the amount of oil used to fry the koay teow. If you notice, the fried koay teow served is less oily than many of the other famous stalls in Penang.

The taste of it? Superb, not too spicy, just tasted good enough.

A cup of fresh orange juice RM1.60 to refresh after having a good meal.

Stadium Curry Mee

Posted by Food Promotions On 6:16 AM 0 comments

Stadium Curry Mee is well know by many Penangnites who has ate their Curry Mee since years ago. They are from a group of 3 brothers, that owns 3 different stalls, with the same taste and flavour.

Their branches are in Dato Keramat (next to Federal Cinema), Taman Free School food court (opposite Heng Ee School roundabout) and Sungai Pinang (in front of the Honda Kah Motor Sdn. Bhd.)

It is located along the road to Convet Datuk Keramat Girls' School and opposite the Ah Leng Char Koay Teow.

Curry Mee RM 2.50 (Small - without prawns) and RM 3.00 (Regular)

The santan use for this Curry Mee is fresh and it brings out the sweetness of the soup.

You are recomended to add another spoonful of the chili paste to increase the spicy flavour of the soup!

What's more? The coffee shop of Stadium Curry Mee stall also sells the famous nutmeg drink RM1.20; a drink we shouldn't miss out when we are dining in Penang!

Breeks Cafe & ZingDo Under 1 Roof

Posted by Food Promotions On 5:47 PM 0 comments

It was our first visit to Breeks cafe last Sunday.

If you don't know, ZingDo has now merged under one roof together with with Breeks Cafe for it's from the same company. Previously, ZingDo was located at Ground Floor, Gurney Plaza.

Both Breeks Cafe and ZingDo serves different type of cuisine. Breeks Cafe is Western while ZingDo is serving Korean fast food.

ZingDo having a promotion recently, so we decided to check it out for a tea break.

A very cozy and comfortable cafe to hang out.

For Muslim friends, this restaurant is certified halal.

We started off by ordering from ZingDo menu.

This complimentary Iced Lemon Tea can be redeem with the flyer when you order any ZingDo meal. Flyers can be collected from the Breeks Cafe counter.

Chicken Kimchi Ramen RM 10.90

The Zing-Do meal we ordered. This Chicken Kimchi Mee would taste better if more kimchi is added into the soup.

Next order from Breeks Cafe menu. Let's take a peep and see what else is there to order in this place.

The list of drinks look interesting and suitable for tea time. We ordered a chilled drink from Breeks Cafe menu.

Muddy Choco RM 8.90

Muddy Choco from the Iced Premium Blended range. This ice blended chocolate drink, is a mixture of chocolate flavored drink and some almond nuts grind together. Topped with whipped cream and Milo, my all time favorite drink to complete this drink.

We decided to go for a dessert for the afternoon, and choose the Brownies with warm cheese sauce, something we never had before.

Brownies with warm cheese sauce RM 7.50

The brownie is topped with cream cheese, tasted a little to the sour. Sweet desserts don't go well with the sour cheese. I guess the Brownies with Vanilla ice cream would taste better than this cheese brownie.

We asked on the cheese they use as the topping, and the waiter is kind enough to give us a slice of cheese (before melted) to try. Yummy...

Environment: 7/10
We love this place, for it is clean, quiet and spacious. You will have your privacy with your friends or loved ones.

Food Presentation: 6/10
Simple but well presented.

Portion: 6/10
Portion served for a person is good enough. For big eater, you might need more.

Taste: 6/10
Mild, averagely good and acceptable.

Service: 7/10
Friendly waitress and attentive. They also seldom disturb the customers.

Value for money: 6.5/10
ZingDo set meal is worth to try out, while Breeks Cafe food is a little more expensive than ZingDo.

OVERALL
It's a nice place to hang out and catch up with old time buddies. I would recommend this place if you love soothing music and a peaceful mind.
