It was a sunny and fruitful day for some of us foodies. We started our morning with our 1st breakfast at Jalan Paya Terubong with a bowl of Hokkien Prawn Mee. This particular stall is located at a off road junction opposite Sapphire Apartments. This stall only operates in the morning and the soup is slightly above average on taste, but their pork ribs were juicy tender.
Them we proceed to the Keadi Kopi Wah Meng for our second round of breakfast which included ‘koay chiap’ and ‘oh kua moi’. Both items tasted average to me but we were told that these are 2 most liked items in this coffee shop.
After Wah Meng, we went for walk around the Air Itam market area and at ad hoc ordered a bowl of the famous ‘Sisiters’ Curry Mee’ which is unique due to th old style of selling by the road side with charcoal burners and their special squid.
Then I took the entourage to my favourite ‘Koay Chiap’ stall opposite the Air Itam wet market. I like the ‘koay’ or dough because of the taste and its texture. The gravy or ‘loh chiap’ may some times be a bit saltier but it seasons well the duck and other ingredients.
After breakfasts, we headed to down to Dato’ Keramat to meat Penang Tua Pui at Restoran Tong Hooi next to the former Federal Cinema. We were there to try the ‘Tai Lok Mee’, which is said to be the bets in Penang so far. I guess Kua La Lumpur’s Tai Lok Mee has captured our taste buds, to me and Gill this stall is only average on flavours.
After Tong Hooi, we headed to Kimberley street for a ad hoc food hunt and found a ‘Chee Cheong Fun’ stall which operate from a corner coffee shop which also houses the famous (not by our standards) Kimberley Street Char Koay Teow. This chee cheong fun stall has a unique chili sauce and the prawn paste equally fragrant.
At the same shop there is also a ‘Economy Rice’ stall which also sales freshly fried chicken which surprisingly tasted not bad.
Apart from this surprise find, I also found this newly opened Chinese confectionery shop which also bakes and sells my favourite tart, coconut tart, opposite a the longstanding ’Yong Pin Dim Sum’ restaurant.
