Tiger Char Koew Teow @ Kafe Ping Hooi @ Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia.

Brekkie at Ping Hooi and I straight went for the Tiger ckt while my mate opted for the loh mee.

An unassuming kopi tiam with good food. Both the loh mee and ckt was on par and worth to check it out.

New Lane Street Foodstalls @ Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia.

After foot reflex  we came to New Lane for some hawker food street grub. Place is lively with many stalls.

The ckt had a long queue so obviously we had to get it, quite decent in my books. Another worthy option to check out than Gurney Drive hawker food.

Nasi Kandar Imigresen @ Penang, Malaysia.

Yes, finally managed to check this Nasi Kandar Imigresen and boy was the queue long. Waited for roughly 45 mins.

We just piled everything on the plates, I actually shared the first plate with a friend. Superb, the amount of gravy on rice, with the add ons, everything was perfect.

Tong Lek 8 Cafe @ Penang, Malaysia.

This round we went to check out fish soup noodles at Tong Lek 8 Cafe. We ordered some fried poppiah to share.

The fried fish was on another level, nicely crust and portions were good. Broth was delicious.

Village Fish Head Bee Hoon @ Penang, Malaysia.

A local Penang kia recommended me this place, she tapaued before but this round I'm going to the source.

There's quite an extensive addons for you to choose. Star here is the tomyam broth. I went for the maggi noodles tomyam with some liew. Oh damn, it's freaking good. The tomyam somehow hits the right spot.

A Taste Of TekSen @ George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

Friend suggested here for dinner and boy am I glad to find this place. Good sze char and prices are affordable. We ordered most of their star dishes.

Dinner was excellent, food is good. Love their asam fish (we ordered the stingray). Will definitely come back in the future with a bigger group to sample more of their dishes.

Orh Chien (Fried Oyster Omelette) @ Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

After the koew teow thng, walk further a bit and get  a plate of this greasy smack licking addictive orh chien. The chef non stop frying the oyster omelette, plates after plates.

The end product is this beautiful starchy gooey orh chien. Pair it with the sambal on the side, match made in heaven. Good stuff!

113 Duck Meat Koey Teow Theng @ George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

My first time trying duck meat koew teow th'ng. We checked out this joint called Kedai Makanan & Minuman Satu Satu Tiga 113.

We ordered our own bowl with some taugeh to share. Broth is clean tasting but has a wholesome feel to it. Taugeh was fresh and crunchy. Quite a good start for breakfast.

Dannok Cafe Hokkien Mee @ George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

When in Penang, Hokkien mee is prawn noodles and this round I'm checking out Dannok Cafe for my first time. The uncle mending the stall is a friendly chap. 

I ordered a mee hoon mee prawn noodle with fish balls and my friend added the ribs. I gotta say a good decent bowl, the umami hits the right spot. The fish balls was also a nice added touch to it, springy and fresh. Who would have thought to add fishballs to hokkien mee.

Would I come back, yup! You can count on it.

Hot Bowl White Curry Mee @ George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

Normally in Penang, my must fix would be a ckt and asam laksa. This trip I'm gonna try the other stuff I've been missing on. First up is the white curry mee @ Hot Bowl.

The steamed chicken is super good, definitely a must order. We ordered for sharing, you can have it as chicken rice also. See quite a few tables eating chicken rice.

A bowl of white curry mee, with your choice of toppings. Oh my, a super rich creamy broth. Something delightful. Add a dollop of the sambal or more, the broth became another super umami level. I'm hooked. Superb bowl that I cleansed everything to the last drop.

Tajuddin Hussain Nasi Kandar (Tajuddin Hussain) @ Penang, Malaysia.

This time friend brought me here for some nasi kandar in Penang. I gotta tell you, it's freaking awesome.

Ordered the yellow rice, chicken and fried shallots with mix gravy. I made a mistake though, forgot to ask for the coconut sambal. The whole concoction was spot on, superb taste and definitely a food coma experience after this. 

Restoran How Kee Seafood Village @ Simpang Ampat, Penang, Malaysia.

En route to KL, we did a pit stop at Simpang Ampat for lunch. Gotta hand it to my friend for suggesting this place, awesome find.

A must order is the prawns, excellent tasty juicy spicy prawns.

The lala was my personal favourite as I love shellfish.

I think this was Gong Gong, a bit hard to get to the flesh, but worth it. The sauce that came with it pairs the meat lovely.

Ah the fish, the broth/sauce/gravy had a nice zesty spicy feeling to it. Would definitely order it next round when I come here again.

Last but not least, you have to order the mantis prawns. Awesome dish. Ask the lady boss how to peel it, it's quite easy actually. A hidden gem which was worth the find. Plus it's only a short distance from Simpang Ampat toll exit.

Sup Hameed @ Jalan Penang, Penang, Malaysia.

Did a pit stop here, was craving for a late afternoon snack.

Ordered a sup kambing(mutton soup), comes with a thick bread.

Hits the right spot oh yeah. Chunky meats, good size portions and the soup was robust. Penang people got something good going on here.
