Uncle Lim’s Famous Poh Piah

Wasabi — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 10:12:02 +0000

A humble narrow stall, with just a sign board writing ‘Poh Piah / Spring Roll Skin’, popularly known as Uncle Lim Popiah, has been operating for more than half a century in the traditional market street of Jalan Chowrasta, Penang.

The owner, known as Uncle Lim, and his daughter, Rebecca, has been running this family business making popiah the traditional way. Look at the unique skill of handling the ball of dough!

While the shop sells mainly on popiah skin in bulks for customers to bring home to make their own recipes, the shop sometimes would sell some products made with their popiah skin, such as fried spring roll and peanut barley (crushed peanut with maltose). They also make and sell peanut maltose candy.

Monday to Friday: 8am – 12pm

Juiciest Fried Oyster Omelet in Penang | Kedai Kopi Seng Thor

Wasabi — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 15:18:39 +0000

Kedai Kopi Seng Thor: A popular kopitiam among the locals in town. It stationed one of my favorite fried oyster omelet stalls (huge oysters!).

The reason this is one of my top fried oyster omelet places is simple: The oysters were huge! According to the stall owner, these fresh oysters were imported from Thailand. You could see more oysters than egg or starch on your plate. The subtle explosion of sweetness from the sea when you bite into the oysters is just heavenly!

Operating hours:

Daily: 8am – 3pm

Menu & Price

Oyster Omelette (XS)(RM11)

Oyster Omelette (S)(RM15)

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

Wasabi — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 14:54:48 +0000

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul is probably the most popular and touristy cendol in Penang. Do expect a queue at all times.

Some might say that this stall is overrated. While it might be true, the Cendol (RM3.30) was actually pretty good although not the best in town. It was sweet and fragrant with the right amount of gula melaka (palm sugar) and condensed milk. It will be in white color when served, remember to stir up the gula melaka underneath to turn it brown.

The Ice Kacang (RM3.50) at Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul wasn’t bad too, it had a generous amount of ingredients.

Operating hours:

Monday to Friday: 10.30am – 7pm

Saturday to Sunday: 10am – 7.30pm

Menu & Price

Apong Guan

Wasabi — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 14:34:16 +0000

Along the stretch of Burma road, in front of a primary school, are two stalls selling apom pancakes: Apong Guan and Apom Chooi.

Old photo, latest price was at RM0.70 per piece

I prefer Apong Guan’s version as it was softer and fluffier, with a creamier content of corn and banana. It was not too sweet. The texture and thickness was just nice.

Operating hours:

Saturday & Sunday: Closed

Monday to Friday: 8.30am – 5.30pm

You can choose to have the seven flavors of rice in small separate scoops, or just one specific flavor in a normal rice portion. Next, you pick the dishes you would like to have with your rice at the self-service kiosk.

The rice with different flavors were unique. Each was fragrant and gave out different taste experiences each time you tried a new one.

The Malay style dishes were pretty good and authentic. I accidentally took a lot of fish that turned out to be salted fish, so make sure you know what the dishes are before you take them.

福记海鲜 Hock Kee Seafood

Wasabi — Sat, 03 Oct 2020 10:33:22 +0000

Hock Kee Seafood was one of the good restaurants serving both unique and authentic mainstream food. Firstly, we had Seafood Otak-otak In Coconut. There were prawns, otak-otak, squids and shark meat. The sauce was cooked with the coconut juice and it was creamy and eggy. It was too full and couldn’t fit everything into the coconut so the chef had to put some into another bowl.

Next, the Salted Egg Bitter Gourd was tasty and the prawns were juicy. It was not a heavy salted egg dish but it had just the right amount of fried salted egg to pair with the bitter gourd.

Lastly, one of the unique dishes in Hock Kee Seafood, the ‘Cheese Chicken’, was more like a ‘Mayonnaise Chicken’, with some cheese flakes and curry leaves. The chicken was deboned and deep fried. However, some might not get used to the taste of mayonnaise in this recipe.

Operating hours:

Tuesday: Closed

Wednesday to Monday: 11am – 2.30pm, 5.30pm – 9.30pm

Menu & Price

Salted Egg Bitter Gourd (RM8)

Cheese Chicken (RM10)

Char Kuey Teow Longkang

Wasabi — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 10:37:00 +0000

The name ‘longkang’, which means drain, in this Char Kuey Teow Longkang place, originated from the ditch right across the road. Worry not, as the drain area is rather far away for the eatery, and there wasn’t any bad smell nearby when I was there. Contradicting its unappetizing name, Char Kuey Teow Longkang was decent but it’s only worth trying if you are passing by the area. It is the Malay’s version char kuey teow, which is wet and saucy. The taste was rather spicy and salty but it had a decent ‘wok hei’.

Operating hours:

Sunday: Closed

Monday to Saturday: 5pm – 9pm

Menu & Price

Char Kuey Teow (regular) (RM5)
