Hi,
I came across ur blog when i was checking for tourism in BM !
Fantastic work! Bravo!

oh ya, maybe u can add the famous BM cendol into ur list. it’s been around for a long, long time..the taste, try it out!
keep up the great job ya!

Hey there ysNocturne, thanks for your nice comment. It is comment like yours that make me continue to blog. It’s always about the quality of the comments, not quantity that matters for me
Actually I did want to blog about the famous cendol opposite Ping Ming school (said to be better than those in Penang island!) but it was closed when I went
Talk about bad luck.
I know.. in KL, their curry mee style is different, they use curry chicken’s gravy to enhance the taste. Penang curry mee, on the other hand uses their secret processed chillis!

Hey , I came across your website while surfing for Juru Autocity Lantern Festival. I really liked your blog, especially your passion for food. I’m actually a lot like you, so maybe if you’re online we can chat ( that’s if you have MSN, add me at chiean****@yahoo.com ).

Jeremy – Hello! Yeah I have great passion for food. I hope one day I’d be able to pin point which place is good for what food whenever someone post me that question
I am glad you liked my blog, I will add you in MSN 
about 4 years ago
fantastic blog! I am really passionate about food too and will be off to Malaysia 11.12.07 so i’m trying to find out the most i could as want to see and do as much as possible. I know i’m going to go crazy for the food. I read a bit about nyonya cooking. first time i came across it was in the novel “The Glass Palace” (great book) .. I understood its a kind of cuisine that uses many fragrant plants and even flowers to cook with … however I can’t seem to confirm this with stuff i’ve been looking up on the net & in other travel books … any idea? Could you give me a list of food you recommend me not to miss? I will be visiting Sabah, Sarawak, KL, Penang I hope and east coast Malaysia not really sure yet … thanks a lot Christianne
about 4 years ago
christianne If you are new to Malaysia, you definitely gotta try the following food:
1. Bak Kut Teh – pork ribs cooked with chinese herbs and spices. Klang is most famous for good bak kut teh.
2. Satay – skewered chicken/fish/mutton/beef grilled over charcoal, nicer ones would be in Kajang. However any road side stall ones are as great, just the price may differ from 30cents to 70cents per stick. You still could find 30cents a stick in Penang
3. Char Koay Teow – One of my favorite food.. the best one IMO would the one in my hometown Bukit Mertajam, but I think you wouldn’t be here so you could try the ones in Georgetown – Kek Seng (penang road) ah leng, sisters (very expensive and have to queue) or the one along Chulia Street . The best char koay teow can only be found in Penang hehe.
4. Ikan bakar (either local or Portugese style) – You can easily find this food in KL (very near to the Pudu bus station, you could ask around) or any Malay seafood stalls
5. Nyonya food .. I think the best ones are in Melaka? I am not too sure..
6. Ice Kacang – Shaved ice with various toppings like groundnuts, condensed milk, beans and cendol, very colorful looking.. The nicer ones are also in Penang, along Penang Street (Kek Seng coffee shop) or Swatow Lane and Lorong Selamat. The most special one would be at Kek Seng’s, you gotta try their durian ice-cream
7. Curry mee – Best ones IMO are also in Penang. All hawker stall’s curry mee are almost the same to me.. so I couldn’t give any good recommendations (Chulia Street one is quite good)
For Sabah/Sarawak I do not have too much idea, but their kolo mee/sarawak laksa/kampua/teh c peng (milk tea) 3 layers are must tries! And Sabah has very good and fresh seafood so you shouldn’t miss that too
There’s just too many lol

Keep up the great blogging activities, thanks for sharing your yummielicious good food list. I am also quite crazy for food but just that my hubby is not so siau siau like me. I came across ur web while searching for PG hawker food, actually i try search for the ones in BM but cannot find till i was so lucky to get into ur web. My mother in law was here and wanted to bring her out for food. I was lazy to drive all d way to PG..hate the jam there. Hmm… now with ur help i have a list of places for her to choose.
There are a few more place to recommend, curry mee at the old road to Jetty, is at the corner of a cross junction some where diagonally opposite the place sell alot of nice cars. Penang Pulau Tikus asam and lemak laksa some where near Tan Mark Bookstore sell by a Thai lady. If u know Kulim area, there a famous duck rice in Lunas.
Adios……looking forward for more good food list

hey great website, make me salivating…..
just wondering, we are planning to visit Penang over CNY, would most of the local food shops and hawker centers be closed ?? That’s really my worry as I really want to taste the local food when I am in Penang ?
Appreciate your thoughts and tips !!!!!!!!
Thanks
agnes
about 4 years ago
@Agnes, during CNY most hawker centers will be closed on the first 2 days. But some popular ones would still be open for business. The problem is, they charge double for the price and the food won’t taste that nice as usual, cincai cincai do one, any will be a lot of people. You can take the risk but I don’t recommend it

Chicken Rice in Penang
Can try the chicken rice located in Tanjung Bungah Astaka Food Court. Just opposite the Ingolf restaurant. They have a very tasty chicken rice with some extra dishes, (Loh egg, chicken feet, fish ball soup and taugeh. Business hour only from 11am to 2pm, some more cheaper.
Opposite Ingolf, then I know how to go liao
But only 11am to 2pm?? Is it because they sell out fast?

For apom/apong the nicest n cheapest one would be Apong Guan loh. He’s selling along Burmah Road in Penang.. Too bad when I wanted to take the photos of the apong he told me to wait 1 hour because got one guy ordered 50 pieces.. OMG.. Too bad lah haih

Hey VKeong, i do really like and love to visit your blog. When thinking visit some places, sure will drop by here to hunt some hint for what to eat. haha! Keep it up.! I have one suggestion for you, if you could briefly show the way how to get it, and the rating for the food and price as well. it would be perfect!

hey! If you visit Penang next time you should check out the Wan Tan Mee sold at a place the locals called “padang” . It’s called this way because the stalls are all opened at the side of a big football field. The Wan Tan Mee stall has been there since my dad was a kid(he’s now in his forties), and the Wan Tan Mee is evergreen. Everytime we go back to Penang(my hometown), we definitely visit that stall. You cannot find any other better wan tan mee!

vkeong,
O n S Penang Prawn Mee is overrated. so too the rest of the wannabees like champ’s naked prawns in centerpoint or that awful chow yang pale imitations in ss2.
True Penangites will remember that the two coffeeshops – one flanking pulau tikus wet market and the other across along bangkok lane – have the best.
kl hawkers put too much msg and not enuf pork to give it that special omph not forgetting penang has the best variety of fresh seaprawns that make this classic an un-copyable hit!
i m alas a kl foodie and i must give credit where it is due – penang wins hands down when it comes to prawn mee! ENUF SAID!

I went to restaurant yong tau foo chan chan on 27 September 2009 with 4 friends. All I can tell you is that the owner is very unethical in managing her business. I wasn’t pissed off by the poor service but rather the ill-mannerred accusation by the owner. I patronise this restaurant frequently and today I treated a group of friends to dinner. I ordered plenty varieties of yong tau foo and other dishes. After I paid the bill, I noticed that 14 pieces of foo chuk (7pcs round & 7pcs flat foo chuk) was not served. I told the lady boss, who was managing the counter, about the mistake. I was totally shocked when she commented that such mistake could not be possible. she also added that shortage of a piece or two may seemed possible, but not entirely missing-out the order. I am totally dissappointed with such unethical way of doing business. Hence, I am not going to visit this restaurant ever again.

Hi, Shangri-La (Putrajaya) Palm Hill Cafe is offering RM50++ for Lunch Buffer (from 12noon~4pm) until 31Dec2009 (Except 23~25/Dec).
Do you tried it before, how’s their food served? If you been there, kindly post some photo & descriped their food quality here. (I may plan to go soon)
And I been Shereton Subang (Now re-name as Dorsett Hotel) for their Buffet Dinner last month (October), with their 50% discount through Citibank Platinum Card. But very disappointed, they served very limited food. Lucky I’m didn’t pay full amount since it got 50% discount
