Love Nutrient Breakfast At Pek Kong Cheng (大山脚伯公埕) @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

You may heighten your eyebrow when somebody tells you lot that at that spot are a handful of delicious local delicacies surrounding a historical Chinese temple. Those who are inwards the know volition state you lot where to detect practiced hawker food; inwards the heartland of Bukit Mertajam town, Pek Kong temple has larn i of the of import local landmarks. The expanse is frequently packed amongst cars too is especially busy inwards the mornings, you lot volition detect traders pushing their carts crossing the streets too parking infinite is especially scarce inwards the vicinity. However, the hold off is worth-while too if you lot come upwards hither every bit good belatedly inwards the day, you lot volition missy the chance to savor roughly of the best local delicacies. Below are roughly of the items that you lot should non miss:

1) Pek Kong Cheng's Famous Duck Meat Koay Chiap (伯公埕驰名鸭肉粿汁)
Business Hours: The Duck Meat Koay Chip is unopen on every Monday. Opens from 6:30 am to xi am.

Pek Kong Cheng's famous Duck Meat Koay Chiap (Rm 5/ regular)

It's difficult to missy this stall every bit at that spot volition endure many regular patrons surrounding it. The broth carries a unlike hue every bit compared to what nosotros conduct maintain here. It's lighter inwards colouring cloth but definitely non the flavors. It possesses a bold Duck-gamey gustation too would exclusively endure suitable for those amongst an acquired gustation bud. The apartment Rice noodles on the other hand, were chewier than the ones nosotros had. Something odd but exclusively meant for those amongst trained gustation buds.

2) Loh Mee or Hokkien Prawn Mee

Business Hours: The Loh Mee is unopen on every Mon too Tuesday. Opens from 6:30 am to xi am. 

Loh Mee (Rm 5/ large) 

We were every bit good belatedly too their Hokkien Prawn Mee was sold out. We opted for roughly other alternative- Loh Mee. We were surprised to detect that their version of Loh Mee was somewhat unlike to the conventional ones. It reminds me of Singapore Loh Mee inwards a way. We didn't similar the absence of the five-spice flavor, in all likelihood nosotros were accustomed to our really ain version here. Also, the broth seemed to endure sweeter than usual.

3) Curry Mee
Business Hours: The Curry Mee exclusively opens for trouble organization on Saturdays, Sundays too Public Holidays. 

Curry Mee (Rm 4/ regular)

This peculiarly stall of Curry Mee has an attitude; it exclusively operates on Saturdays, Sundays too Public Holidays. If you lot are slap-up to try, brand certain you lot larn your dates correct. Their Curry Mee did non aspect similar anything usual, to a greater extent than similar a hybrid betwixt Mee Jawa, Curry Mee too Hokkien Mee. The broth was veering towards the sweeter side spell the condiments were odd... Shrimp Crackers were added. It was precisely every bit creamy every bit nosotros were expecting too the Chili did non possess the quintessential smokiness. Not bad for a alter but on a regular basis, I'd stick to my onetime favorite Penang styled Curry Mee.

4) Red Bean Tofu Fah

Business Hours: The Tofu Fah is unopen on every Midweek too Thursday. It opens every bit early on every bit 10:30 am too closes every bit belatedly every bit half dozen pm.

Tofu Fah amongst sweetened Red Beans: Rm ii for a bowl (Rm 2.20 for takeaways). 

Right beside the chief entrance to the temple, there's an unpretentious Tofu Fah stall. It didn't look attractive to us at showtime but when nosotros got to know that they serve Tofu Fah amongst an attitude, nosotros went ahead too checked it out without hesitation. The highlight is the sweetened Red Bean, somewhat similar to what a criterion bowl of Cendol would offering but instead of serving them on a mount of Ice, they are served on hot Tofu Fah. To my surprise, the flavor-texture combination was nice, reasonably sweetened amongst silky smoothen texture of the Tofu Fah too the nutty chemical constituent of the Red Beans. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 creative but delicious impact to the conventional bowl of Tofu Fah.

Love Nutrient Classic Teddy Cafe @ 1St Avenue Mall, Georgetown, Penang.

Update: Classic Teddy Cafe has ceased its describe of piece of occupation concern operations since then.

Show around dear to the cuddly London Teddy Bear at Classic Teddy Cafe, 1st Avenue Mall Penang. The newly opened Classic Teddy Cafe is abode to the cute as well as fluffy London Teddy Bear; the house is appropriately decorated to the topic (arguably). Step inward the cafe as well as you lot volition hold upward enveloped inward a cute atmosphere... get-go alongside the famous London Red Telephone Box, coupled alongside 2 big Teddy Bears. Walk similar a shot inward the cafe as well as you lot volition abide by many Union Jack on the furniture, or at to the lowest degree the colouring cloth combination that industrial plant along the line. While the cafe is named equally Classic Teddy Cafe, nosotros were surprised that at that topographic point were non much Teddy Bears inward the cafe- 2 close the entrance, half-dozen on the wall as well as around close the counter only; customers were non given around to play with. The carte du jour is pocket-sized as well as has niggling or no connectedness to the cuties; nosotros idea the offering is weak either (the touchstone boring cafe menu).

Aglio Olio Chicken Breast (Rm 18)

Chocolate Walnut Muffin (Rm 6.50) as well as Long Black (Rm 8)

There were express offering on our visit, There were alone iii types of Pasta left thence nosotros idea it was wiser to pick the safest option. We had their Aglio Olio (Chicken Breast), they were quite generous alongside the component division but the texture was disappointing. The Pasta was overcooked as well as the season was a niggling bland. It was monotonous. The Garlic season did non stand upward out as well as the spiciness was equally good soft to hold upward discerned. Fortunately, the Chicken meat was nicely executed alongside a touching on of citrusy flavor.  

To terminate the meal, nosotros had their Chocolate Walnut Muffin. The Cake was fresh as well as moist but the Chocolate chemical component was weak. For Rm 6.50, nosotros idea it was overpriced. We washed it downwardly alongside a loving cup of Long Black.

Love Nutrient Metallic Q Caffe @ Taman Inderawasih, Perai, Penang.

There's a novel cafe at Perai that has drawn a lot of attending lately together with the location's odd. One needs to locomote about v to 10 minutes from Sunway Carnival Mall to gain at that topographic point together with i mightiness non fifty-fifty unwrap its existence. The signage is non flashy nor eye-catchy but what they could offering may lure yous in. Metal Q offers a Western-Fusion carte but some of the dishes are uncommon (especially inwards Perai) together with are cleverly priced. There are many knick-knacks inwards the cafe but some of them are insensible... piece the seating organization is criterion together with zilch to shout over. We've solely managed to get a distich of their dishes together with idea they fared well. We sure await frontwards to get to a greater extent than of their creations.

Salted Caramel Cheese Cake (Rm 7.90)

Egg Ben (Rm 7.90)

We were at that topographic point inwards slowly afternoon together with did non desire something also heavy. We had their Egg Ben, poached Egg together with Smoked Salmon served on function past times of a burger bun, doused alongside Hollandaise sauce. The presentation was impressive alongside generous serving of Smoked Salmon but a compassion that the egg was overcooked. The Hollandaise was beautifully cooked though, a hint of acidic but luxuriously creamy. The Burger Bun was unopen plenty (to English linguistic communication Muffin) but the texture was all the same less-satisfying. I am non complaining for that price.

We took a await at the display refrigerator nigh the entrance together with constitute their Salted Caramel Cheese Cake particularly tempting... particularly at the toll of Rm 7.90. The function past times layer of Salted Caramel was gooey together with sticky, piece the middle layer of Cheese Cake was rich together with dense... the bottom layer was filled alongside crushed biscuits. The entire concoction was toothsome though the salty chemical component subdivision was non every bit rigid every bit nosotros would convey hoped.

Love Nutrient Arashi Shabu-Shabu @ Gurney Plaza, Penang.

Warm your trunk upwardly inwards this rainy flavor past times enjoying Hot Pot at the newly opened Arashi Shabu Shabu, Gurney Plaza. The Hot Pot chain is well-established inwards southern Malaysia but this is their commencement branch inwards Penang. Their concept is simple- i Hot Pot per diner (you may opt for sharing nevertheless) but the existent line factor is in all probability the unique Japanese-influenced broth; from sugariness to savory, Sukiyaki to Kelp or Curries. Each Hot Pot packet is carefully idea of, to cater both carnivores in addition to herbivores but unfortunately, they come upwardly alongside hefty cost tags too. The relentless queue over the weekend was horrible but lucky for us, nosotros had to queue for 10 minutes only (we were told that merely about had to queue for to a greater extent than than one-half an hour). 

Mix Pork in addition to Beef Combo (Rm 28.90) alongside Hot & Spicy Milk Broth (additional Rm 2)

Grilled Beef Bibimbap (Rm 22.90)

Amongst the 10 broths available, nosotros opted for the well-nigh exclusive type- Hot & Spicy Milk Broth. It may audio odd at commencement but the flavors are familiar. We had a gulp in addition to it straightaway reminded us of White Curry Mee. The Mix Pork in addition to Beef combo carried the quintessential meat slices in addition to merely about Meat Balls alongside crunchy Greens, Glass Noodles, Crabsticks, Mushrooms in addition to crispy Beancurd Sheets. We idea they could move to a greater extent than generous alongside the meat, nosotros only got a few thinly sliced Beef in addition to Pork. The note-worthy requisite sauce- Arashi Shabu Shabu's home-made signature Spicy sauce was a beautiful complement to the meat. Though it was lip-numbingly hot, the acidic-element inwards the sauce makes it addictive in addition to specially refreshing to move used a dip for the meat.

Arashi Shabu Shabu's Bibimbap is in all probability modified to conform the local palate. The Korean-origin dish has many crunchy greens but Arashi's rendition had merely about julienned Black Fungus, Bak Choy, Kim Chi in addition to merely about Grilled Beef; doused over a sweet-savory Japanese sauce. The concoction was delicious but they may convey overdone alongside the sauce. As a effect of that, the Bibimbap was overly moist in addition to the crispy crust could non move formed at the bottom of the Stone Pot. I would non tell the Beef was exclusively tender but it was  brilliantly marinated to the correct dot. We added inwards merely about of their sweat-inducing signature hot sauce in addition to boy, it was brilliant. Our only possible criticism is the price, which does non justify the portion.
