Kheng Pin Cafe @ Penang Road – Loh Bak, Wanton Mee & Porridge

December 5, 2014 | 19,387 views

Kheng Pin Loh Bak Uncle

Uncle Lau and his amazing spread of Loh Bak / fried snacks at Kheng Pin Cafe on Penang Road

Oh wait, you mean we’re still on the Penang food run this week?

Yup, guilty as charged.

Okay. I will be truthful. The Penang getaway happened almost a month back, while I have not even gotten to the Cameron Highlands road trip two months back. Call it procrastination or sheer laziness. But finding time to write amidst the crazy schedule lately is a blessing.

Eating by the Streets

The beauty of eating street food in Penang is the uncanny ability to really live up to the ‘street’ food moniker

Ultimately, I strive to complete at least, a few of the travel chapters before the end of the year. And yes, Motormouth will be going on a fairly long break during Christmas (more on that in the coming weeks), hence there probably won’t be any more updates to local eats for some time.

But take it with a pinch of salt. After all, here I am started drafting this post in Kuala Lumpur, and about to depart for Ipoh (on an emergency notice, no less) in an hour’s time.

Quit the yapping and start the erm, food-talking shall we? Read the rest of this entry »

Seapark Fried Chicken Rice @ Hoe Fong. Decades of Crispy Sins.

August 31, 2012 | 9,132 views

Deep Fried Chicken

Ain’t no KFC …. but Hoe Fong’s Crispy Fried Chicken tastes good; sans the batter. Just like how grandma used to fry the chicken with minimal marinade; soy sauce, five spice powder, sugar and possibly a dash of sesame oil.

Let’s take a break from the Saigon stories. The endless strings of chapters and ramblings will probably last you from Raya to Merdeka to Malaysia Day and then some. For today, let’s visit one of our frequent haunt for lunch in Seapark, PJ; Hoe Fong Chicken Rice.

Blame it on the strenuous nature of the current job. I lost track of how many wonderful stories that I wanted to share with you guys. Like today’s for instance. This brunch took place at least more than a month or two ago. And I vaguely remember how I capped off the rainy day’s feast with a banter with the owner of the place; whom took over from his uncle who started this establishment back then in the 80’s.  Read the rest of this entry »

Ipoh Kong Heng @ Old Town – A Timeless Story Retold

July 9, 2011 | 29,961 views

Timeless Classics

Ipoh Kong Heng Restaurant – Upgraded from a coffee shop (kedai kopi) status recently, yet still fondly recognized as a downright kopitiam in the heart of Ipoh’s old town.

I still remember my first visit to Kong Heng back in the 80’s. With late grandfather in tow; we would scrambled for a seat amongst the sea of people for breakfast on a Sunday morning. If you’re curious as to whether Kong Heng has changed from then and now?

A resounding NO would be an affirming answer.

Although not as aggressive/pushy like the days of yore, some of the hawkers still swarm your table once you’re seated comfortably and recommending food items from their respective stalls before you can even give the charming kopitiam a quick 360 degrees glance.

Let me take you for a stroll down memory lane, and rejoice in the fact that Ipoh is still blessed with priceless gems like this. But for how long more? Read the rest of this entry »

Penang Hawker Food : Sin Wah Char Koay Teow & Kheng Pin Lor Bak

April 3, 2009 | 15,049 views
So, what’s for supper, after going Japanese at Azuma? Some cheap and delicious street food, of course !!!
Sin Wah Char Koay Teow @ Pulau Tikus Market

Penang is synonymous with great hawker fare. From the perennial favourite, Laksa, to Char Koay Teow, and Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee to you and me) to Lor Bak, it’ll be a sin to die from hunger on the streets, and laments regarding “limited food options“. Admit it, people throng the island for the FOOD, more than anything else.
Sinful enough? With cockles, prawns, duck eggs, bean sprouts, chives, and crispy pork lard …. all for RM4 flat
