Chin Bee Tea Restaurant @ Noordin Street – More than Just Tea

I had first read about Chin Bee Tea Restaurant from Criz, who sang high praises for the place. Intrigued, I subsequently have brought my family along to dine at Chin Bee and we have all fallen in love with the food served at this place! Don’t be fooled by the name ‘tea house’. Usually, one [...]

Kim Tavern @ Sunway Carnival Mall, Seberang Jaya

I do venture to Sunway Carnival Mall occasionally and did not notice any new food outlets, so I was quite surprised when I received an invitation to dine at a new cafe by Taufulou’s friend, via CK. And so a small group of us ventured across the sea (reminds me of  going for a“lawatan sambil [...]

Hot Wok Nyonya & Local Cuisine @ Burmah Road, Penang

Recently, a group of floggers were invited to taste the food at Hot Wok Nyonya & Local Cuisine along Burmah Road. Hot Wok is certainly not a new establishment, having been in the food business since 1994. It was previously in Gurney Plaza and moved to Tanjung Tokong. Currently, it is located along Burmah Road [...]

Dim Sum Food Restaurant at Macalister Road Gets Thumbs Up!

As much as I love my dim sum, I do shudder at the thought of doing a post on dim sum eating places. Because it would mean lots and lots of photos of decadent delicate morsels of popping flavour!

However, since I also lament on the lack of decent dim sum in Penang, I just knew [...]

Canton-i @ Queensbay Mall

We first heard wind that Canton-i was to open at Gurney Plaza. In fact, when I was in Canton-i in 1Utama a few months back I did see the brochure which stated that their branch was in Gurney Plaza.

So much to our surprise, Canton-i finally revealed its sole Penang outlet in Queensbay Mall! We were [...]

Nyonya Breeze @ Abu Siti Lane

Nyonya Breeze used to be located next to Naza Hotel in Tanjung Bungah. But recently, they moved to Abu Siti Lane, off Macalister Road. Located opposite Choo Plaza, its bright green signboard is hard to miss.

Tua Pui Curry Mee & O Kio @ Weld Quay

One of my favourite Curry Mee stalls in Penang is located along Weld Quay just outside the stall owner’s house. If you are travelling with the jetty on your left, Tua Pui (hokkien for ‘fat’) Curry Mee stall is further down from the jetty, after the Shell station, on the opposite side of the road.
There [...]
