Malaysia Food Blog, Malaysia Travel Blog


BM Kia says..
As I read through my blog posts for 2008, I found most of them are restaurant related reviews. I think this is deviating from my original purpose of food blogging, which is to discover and promote local foods, especially hawker fares. If not, it wouldn't be fit to be called "Malaysia Food Blog" So, my main aim of blogging for year 2009 would be to continue to do what I actually enjoyed the most - to travel, discover and promote cheap and tasty food.

Hongkie Kopitiam @ E-Gate

Posted by: vkeong In: E-Gate| Food and Drink| Hong Kong Style| Penang () (60 views)

Hongkie Kopitiam is a restaurant serving Hong Kong style food, this should be very obvious just by looking at its name. It is located in E-Gate’s ground floor. You will find that Hongkie Kopitiam is very similar with Kim Gary and Wong Kok Char Chan Teng. I have been to all of them so I will compare Hongkie Kopitiam’s food with the other two.

This is actually my second visit to Hongkie Kopitiam. My first visit was a unpleasant one because the waiters serve the food without proper order and made us wait very long. Reason was, they did not have enough plates and eating utensils.. Anyway I gave them another try, to see if they improved their service.

To order, choose from the menu and fill in the ordering form. I noticed more and more restaurants are using this method of ordering now, especially those kopitiam themed. This lets you to take all the time needed to browse through the menu. And best of all you won’t have to worry that a poor waiter is waiting for your decisions. Just alert them when you’re done and they will re-verify your orders. The food is given interesting English name like ‘We Strive, You Thrive’ and ‘The world’s local bank’ - HSBC? :lol:

I ordered a set meal of pork chop rice with green vegetables @ RM10.90. Also included in the set are mushroom soup, a drink and dessert. I chose cold yin yong as drink - a mix of tea and coffee.

The mushroom soup is very thick and had black pepper sprinkled on top. Very nice.

The pork chop rice is good. It looks colorful and tempting too don’t you think ;)

This is a side dish we ordered, a plate of fried dumplings @ RM4.90. They named this dish Golden Triangle. Tasted so-so only.

Siang Leng’s order - Cheese Curry rice @ RM 10.80. Compared to Kim Gary (which totally sucks), Hongkie’s cheese curry packed more cheese and curry gravy. It tastes better too!

Lets see what’s underneath the layer of cheese.. WHOA :P This type of dish may certainly cause one to develop cheese phobia lol. We didn’t finish the cheese.. already starting to get sick of it.

Ice cold Hong Kong Milk Tea @ RM2.50. No difference with any teh peng found in Penang actually.

And lastly our dessert, rainbow colored ice cream that reminds me of paddle pop :P


The obese individuals have to take care of their diet if they want to loose their weight in the balanced form. Before using the zantrex 3 diet, the patient should have knowledge about its proper dose, side effects and ingredients. The low carb diet is very beneficial diet to reduce the weight of the obese people.

I can’t find a really yummy cheese baked rice/food at Penang. The hongkie, wong kok and Kim Gary are offer the bad taste which I am very sit bang with. In conclusion, hongkong style restaurants can’t cook cheese baked stuffs.

I do admit that I’m a particular one :)

Btw, the slogan “We Strive, You Thrive” is by Standard Chartered Bank.

Creative way of naming the food though I must say;)

The people of Hong Kong will never name their shop Hongkie… so this is a not an authentic Hong Kong Cafe… some local trying to ‘mau-pai’… :P
I find that after Kim Gary, all the mushrooming of
Hong Kong styled of cafes are all copy cats…
