Sakae Sushi, my favorite sushi joint
Oct 17th
I have never really liked sushi until the arrival of [tag]Sakae Sushi[/tag]. Now, Sakae Sushi is my favorite sushi joint. It has more variety, classier, and most importantly cheaper than Sushi King. And lets not forget the high tech way of ordering food via their web application.. it’s really great. I can develop one of these applications very easily lol, it IS my bread and butter anyway. So contact me if you are interested in one ok 
If you didn’t know, the prices of the items on the rotating sushi bar are by the plates’ color:
- Green: RM1.90
- Pink: RM3.90
- Red: RM5.90
Delicious Ice Kacang in Bukit Mertajam
Oct 16th
For good ais kacang in [tag]Bukit Mertajam[/tag] 大山脚, most will head to a famous stall in Taman Jaya (directly opposite BM Country Club) We, BM lang refer it as 榕树下 ice kacang because the food court is built under a big tree. It is built as simplest as possible – place some tables and chairs under a big canvas shelter and walla, a place to eat!
Almond Tea @ Kimberley Street
Oct 14th
Anyone likes [tag]almond tea[/tag]? [tag]Heng jin teh[/tag]? Heng jin is almond in Hokkien, and people usually eat it with yiu char koay. According to online and newspaper resources, there are 2 stalls in Penang that are famous for this drink. The owners are brothers who sell tong sui in push-stalls. The one I went to was at [tag]Kimberly Street[/tag].
I love almond cookies so I thought almond tea should be as nice. Turns out that almond tea tastes very awful (for me) because of its very strong medicine smell, like cough mixture. I only managed a few spoonful, then I gave up. For some, it even smells like cockroach lol. Anyway I just tried this out of curiosity because it is said to be a common drink in [tag]Penang[/tag]. Honestly I have never seen anyone selling this drink in Bukit Mertajam.. maybe it’s an island thing.
Chulia Street Curry Mee @ Chulia Street
Oct 11th
A buddy of mine recently recommended me to try a famous curry mee in Chulia Street (Lebuh Chulia) Being born and raised in the mainland side of Penang – Bukit Mertajam town, I always have difficulties navigating in Georgetown. The many number of streets and lanes, each with their very own unique names are confusing for me. It took a while for me to find this curry mee stall, I even had to ask a couple of people for directions. Any BM-kia here faces the same problem like me?
