Love Nutrient Ho Bin (给面子) Cafe @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

Ho Bin... sure enough non a call or term that tin hold upwardly easily pronounced yesteryear non-local but never heed on the name; it's basically a noodle-focused store that sells hand-made noodles... well-nigh similar to Pan Mee but round, long together with fatty inwards shape instead of apartment ones. The flavors offered are really locals-oriented, same goes to the toppings together with sides. The dining hall is air-conditioned amongst comfortable seats... prices are wallet-friendly equally expected, pretty much similar the casual dining spot that you lot would larn on a regular basis. Nothing spectacular together with naught extraordinary but naught fancy or pretentious either, simply a simple, straight-forward bowl of Noodles.

Spicy together with Sour Handmade Noodles (Rm 8.90)

Deep Fried Won Ton (Rm 5.90)

Fish Ball Soup (Rm 5)

Peach Resin Tong Sui (Rm 5)

The noodles were non equally bouncy equally nosotros would convey hoped, but they were definitely silky smooth; the classic version was really much Pan Mee-alike... amongst minced Meat topping together with garnished amongst a soft-boiled runny Egg. The Sour together with Spicy version paled when inwards comparison, the flavor-combo did non locomote inwards my opinion. It lacked the "X factor" together with nosotros did non experience the excitement eating it. Overall, nosotros idea this was an okay-average meal... spell in that location was naught at fault, it definitely has naught to scream over either.

Chicken Herbal Soup (Rm 12 per bowl)

We started off alongside an invigorating all the same tummy-pleasing Chicken Herbal Soup.... beautifully cooked alongside incredible depth of flavors. Seasonal offering like Steamed Prawns as well as Glass Noodles alongside Chinese Rice Wine was delicious either... alongside the correct total of seasoning as well as bold Chinese Rice Wine, the combination was lovely as well as close satisfying. 

The signature Claypot Crab Rice was the highlight of the day... alongside alluring smoky aroma; it may look huge inwards serving component but it was the crabs that made upwards the space. It did non experience similar a lot of Rice... nosotros could abide by Salted Fish inwards there... which introduced a "je ne sais quoi" kinda aroma.  Another variant- Claypot Crab Glass Noodles paled when inwards comparing alongside the Rice version.... the Glass Noodles registered milder flavor as well as it did non look to appeal to us every bit much every bit the Rice did. On the Mud Crabs... they were fresh as well as succulent, each carried delicious flesh alongside salty Seafood essence.

Love Nutrient Ah Poh Dessert Menage (阿宝糖水铺) @ Malay Street, Georgetown, Penang.

Old Penangites should non survive novel to this name... Ah Poh Dessert House, or ameliorate known as the old schoolhouse Tong Sui stall at Victoria Street. It's famous for its charcoal-boiled traditional sugariness soups selling at unbeatable prices; during the older days, the laborers working nearby would pay the store a view for their afternoon recharge... a plate of Fried Vermicelli Noodles alongside a pipe hot bowl of dessert would lighten upward their days.

Gandum (Rm 3)

Peach Gum alongside Red Dates as well as Longan (Rm 4)

Chicken Porridge (Rm 3)

Fried Noodles (Rm 1.70)

Fit for either dejeuner or afternoon tea, the house offers low-cal savory meals similar Chicken Porridge as well as Fried Vermicelli Noodles. The one-time alternative has pulled Chicken meat alongside a hint of Salted Egg as well as Century Egg. It seemed bland at kickoff sight but the Porridge was surprisingly flavorful, the deep fried Shallots added a crispy dimension to the creamy Porridge... definitely no complaints for that price. The Fried Noodles were okay... pretty criterion except that they accept added a personal touch... deep fried Pork Lards for the extra alluring scent but the downside was of course, greasier than usual. Both desserts were every bit delicious as well as ticked all the boxes, the Gandum was creamy rich but delicately sweetened. This is definitely 1 of the few places that you lot tin view for traditional sugariness soups.

Coffee Downstairs is definitely a cool spot for java as well as sugariness process lovers, the classics are available but they bring a make of hipster java on offer... including Sour Vide Coffee or Nitro Black Kombucha or perhaps, simply about peculiar combination that y'all could hardly imagine. While it does serve simply about sweets (like Brownies as well as sugariness Croissants), it does non serve whatever mains. While the confined infinite is rather comfortable as well as cozy, it does non arrange large groups, at that topographic point are exclusively a few long tables as well as in all likelihood could topographic point less than fifteen pax inwards total.

Both Chocolate Brownie as well as Salted Egg Croissant were every bit delicious; the quondam ane has a delightful bitterness next it... alongside a footling crispy transcend as well as gooey-melted Chocolate sandwiching between, the contrast inwards texture highlighted the in-depth, multi-dimensional Chocolate flavor. The home-made Salted Egg Croissant, though non as crispy as nosotros would bring hoped, the Salted Egg filling was toothsome. It has the perfect residuum of sweetness as well as salinity... alongside creamy-rich texture, non besides overpowering or over-killing the flaky French pastry. We washed downward alongside a loving cup of icy mutual depression temperature Matcha.
