Teow Chew Ming (Teow Chew Meng) @ Sunway Tunas, Bayan Baru, Penang

If you follow my post about Duck Drumstick Mee Sua, you should know what is Mee Sua. But if you don't, it's ok. I went to have Mee Sua Kor at Teow Chew Ming last few days. Mee Sua is a kind of thin Chinese noodle made of wheat flour, which is also known as Longevity Mee, as it is long. For more about Mee Sua, please check out my previous post. Mee Sua Kor is sticky mee sua. See the picture below, the picture speaks it all. Normally, they eat mee sua in herb soup but this Teow Chew style restaurant, Teow Chew Ming, they came out with a different cooking method. Mee Sua alone is actually tasteless but this restaurant, successfully came out with a new taste of mee sua, like "Mee Sua Revolution".

Teow Chew Ming

I love the mee sua because you can taste a different cooking method and taste of mee sua. The dish comes with a variety of topping such as seafood, fish fillet and oysters. The one I had is Fish Fillet Mee Sua Kor (Kor means gum in Hokkien, so it is sticky). The fish fillet is fresh and nice. Most of the people who came here really had a good time and commented that the mee sua is really nice. However, it is a little bit pricey here. But recently, they lowered down their price. But, good food is worth every pennies you forked out.

Fish Fillet Mee Sua Kor

The big pot of mee sua kor above is actually for 2 pax. If you order 1 pax, they will serve it in a bowl but for 2 pax and above, they serve it in a big pot. If you notice, you see that it is just mee sua and fish fillet with a sprinkle of spring onions. But the hidden taste is indescribable here. Actually there is a bit of egg in it.

Fish Fillet Mee Sua Kor with vinegar

If you ask me, personally, I would recommend that you add in a few drops of vinegar (according to your taste) to boost the taste of the mee sua kor. Don't put too much or you will spoil the whole pot. 

Baby Cabbage

Recently, I am going for healthy diet, so I ordered a plate of baby cabbage too. The baby cabbage is stir-fry the Teow Chew style. It tastes good too. So, try out this Mee Sua Kor at Teow Chew Ming.

Xian Ding Wei @ Queensbay Mall, Penang

My friend told me I seldom post about Chinese food, besides the local Penang food. Well, last few days, I went to have lunch at Xian Ding Wei at Queensbay Mall, Penang. Before that, it was so lucky that I got back all my Xian Ding Wei photos because my handphone is having some problems, causing all the photos went missing. Luckily, I can recover them back. But, somehow, if you follow my blog, all photos are not taken with DSLR but just using Nokia 5800. I am too poor to get a fancy camera but I still like to blog. So, I am sorry for the poor pictures.

Xian Ding Wei

Xian Ding Wei is actually a restaurant serving Taiwan-type of cuisines. It is known as Taiwanese Tea Room and the name speaks it all. I went there a few times and I am quite happy and satisfy with the food quality and taste. The unique part about Xian Ding Wei is that, Chinese people like hot food, meaning, the food is preferred to be hot or warm while served. So, they include a small "fire" under your dish to keep your food all the times.

The "fire"

That's the "fire" I mean because I cannot call it "stove" because it is way too small to be called stove. So, from the time the dish being served until the last drop of the sauce, it remains warm. I had this Fish with Tomato and Egg Sauce.

Fish with Tomato and Egg Sauce Set

Fish with Tomato and Egg Sauce

The set comes with 3 side dishes, a bowl of soup and a bowl of white rice. For the rice, you can choose either white rice or braised pork rice at additional of RM1. The side dishes vary daily.

Soup

Side dishes

For the soup, there is a lot of ingredients inside such as red dates, pork and some sorts of herbs. Fish with Tomato and Egg Sauce is my all-time favorite at Xian Ding Wei because it is really nice.

Hot Pot Set

Hot Pot

Other than that, the above dish is Hot Pot Set. It comes with the same side dishes. Needless to say, I guess you know why it is called Hot Pot. See the big TOMATO! Funny! This is more like a mini steamboat with the "fire" at the bottom as well. The Hot Pot is nice too.

Taiwanese Spicy Sauce

Taiwanese Spicy Sauce

They have their own sauce too, Taiwanese Spicy Sauce. I guess it is their in-house special sauce. It is quite spicy but it acts like a booster to the taste of the food, if you like spicy food. They serve a variety of dishes here, either in set or ala-carte. Do try them at Queensbay Mall, next to Sakae Sushi at Level 3.

House of Kolomee @ D'Piazza Mall, Bayan Baru, Penang

Today, I am going to share something, not originated from Penang. If you follow my blog, you will notice most of the food are from Penang. Although I am from Sarawak, but I work in Penang and I seldom post something about my hometown. Good news to those Sarawakians who work in Penang but miss the hometown dishes. One of the Sarawakians who works in Penang, started this shop, selling the Sarawak kolo mee. Kolo Mee is a famous dish particularly in Kuching, Sarawak, while in Sibu, Sarawak, the famous dish is Kampua. A bit introduction about Kolo Mee. Kolo Mee is something quite similar with Penang Wantan Mee, but the noodle used is different as well as the topping ingredients. Kolo Mee's noodle is more curly, which if I am not mistaken, it is due to the egg. 

Sarawak Kolo Mee

From the picture above, Kolo Mee comes with minced pork, spring onion, fried onion, braised pork (sometimes they use char siew pork) and vegetable. Now, from the experience of a Sarawakian, the secret recipe in making a nice Kolo Mee beside having a good quality noodle, they use pork oil and the water that cooks the noodle. Start with pork oil, the reason they use pork oil is because the taste is better, than using vegetable oil. I tried once using vegetable oil and the taste is totally different. The way we "cook" the noodle is by putting inside the boiling water, since the noodle is made from flour, "cook" them in water will make the water sticky. To make a tasty Kolo Mee, one must change the water, reboil them, regularly after making certain number of plates of Kolo Mee. Else, the Kolo Mee will be sticky. :)

Sarawak Wantan

Besides that, if you try out Penang Wantan Mee, the noodle comes with wantan as well. Wantan is actually minced pork wrapped in Wantan Skin. The Wantan Skin is a dough skin made of flour, egg, water and salt. In Sarawak, we sell Wantan separately instead of mixing them together with noodle. But upon request, they can mix Wantan and Kolo Mee together, but they are going to take away the braised pork. This is in Sarawak. But here, at House of Kolomee, I don't think we can "customize" the menu as everything is "pre-defined" earlier. Other than that, they do have a variety of Kolo Mee to try, different "flavor" and they are trying to have more menu.

If you ask me, I had been eating Kolo Mee long time ago when I was still in Sarawak. The taste of Kolo Mee sold in House of Kolomee is quite authentic. I was told the all the ingredients are taken from Sarawak, including the noodle. So, you recollect all your nice memories of eating Kolo Mee in Sarawak at House of Kolomee. Recently, House of Kolomee is selling the raw noodle as well. I copied the brochure from their Facebook page as in below.

Copied from House of Kolomee Facebook page

Now, those who miss their hometown (Sarawak) very much, you can now "feast" as if you are in Sarawak (although in realistic, you are in Penang) at House of Kolomee. Sarawak food is now available in Penang! :)

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul @ Penang Road, Penang

After having this nice Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet), I walked to the street next to it to hunt for something else. Since it is so near and the weather is so hot, another bowl of Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul is absolutely perfect. In Penang, you must try out this chendul. It is located at Penang Road but the exact street name is Keng Kwee Street. It is next to Joo Hooi coffee shop. 

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

I think the reason it is called Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul but not Keng Kwee Street Famous Teochew Chendul is that it is easier to know Penang Road as it is a main road than a small narrow street, Keng Kwee Street. 

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul

You have to mix the chendul as the palm sugar (gula Melaka) is at the bottom. A bowl of chendul consists of red beans, palm sugar (gula Melaka), coconut milk, green jelly (I don't know its name) and shredded ice. Please expect a long queue especially during weekends and holidays. But don't worry, long queue does not mean long waiting time. They are real fast and after all, I guess it is worth the wait.

Interesting part is that, normally, people will queue up to buy and have it just beside the road. However, if you wish to sit down and enjoy it, Joo Hooi allows you take in the chendul and you can order some food, maybe Penang Laksa at Joo Hooi. If not, you can walk down the road and there is a place for you to sit, I think the owner of the chendul will show you the place. So, try out this famous chendul and Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet), just at the next street, walking distance.

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet) @ Tamil Street, Penang

Again! Today, the sun is getting nearer to Penang. Very hot! If you see me shouting "HOT", it means in the next few days, I am going to hunt for something cooling. Yesterday, I had this cooling coconut drink at Abu Siti Lane. Today, the weather still does not cool off, so I am going for this Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet) at Tamil Street, Penang, next to Chowrasta Market. I was having a hard time to look for this stall due to traffic jam and it is located at a small street called Tamil Street. I guess most of the people do not know this place, so I decided to share it out here.

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet)

"Ais" means ice in Malay language and "Tingkap" means window, so literally, it means window ice, but the owner named it as Window Sherbet. The reason it was called Window Sherbet because in the past, it was sold through the window, I guess drive-thru type. It is quite difficult to see the stall from the main road (Penang Road). However, if you know the Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul, it is just next to the street selling the chendul.

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet)

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet)

It tastes really nice. The red color is due to rose syrup. And the black seedy stuff is actually frog egg. Nah, just kidding! The black seedy thing is basil seeds. And the white slice is coconut flesh. Besides that, they added in a lot of ingredients to make this drink but I am not sure what are those things. But I assure you that, you have no regret trying this.

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet)

Menu on the wall

If you wish to try this out, if you want to go by foot, let's say, you are at the Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul, facing the Penang Road or the police station, just turn to your right and at the first street you see, turn right and walk further a bit down the street, the stall is at your right side. If you wish to go by car, from Penang Road, turn left into Chowrasta Street and drive till the end of the street, turn right and when you see the first street you turn right, turn right again into Tamil Street and you will see the stall on your left. But driving there is difficult due to limited parking spaces and the road is very narrow. 

Venue

Price

Ais Tingkap (Window Sherbet) RM1.50

P/S: Due to the hot weather, one cup of Ais Tingkap is not enough to cool off the heat in my soul, I am going to Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul next.

Wang Chau Jun, Rangoon Road, Penang

Oh my goodness! What happen to Penang? The weather is burning hot. Can anyone check that is the sun displace from its location and getting nearer to Penang? While writing this post, I am in the midst of sweating and at the same time, sipping a cool coconut drink from Abu Siti Lane. Speaking of Abu Siti Lane, of course I was nearby there today to have my lunch. I had my lunch at Wang Chau Jun today, located along Rangoon Road. Rangoon Road is located opposite of Tune Hotel at Burma Road. There is a big hair salon at the entrance of Rangoon Road and Wang Chau Jun is about at the end of the road, opposite of Lao Ba Cha (老爸茶). Lao Ba (老爸) means daddy in Chinese and Cha (茶) means tea. So, literally, it means "Your Daddy's Tea". Don't ask me why it was known so because I don't know. Back to the story, Wang Chau Jun was one of the Four Beauties in the ancient China. Why the shop is called Wang Chau Jun? Yes, this time I know! Because one of their customers commented that its Spicy and Sour Fish Head Vermicelli is like the skin of Wang Chau Jun. I have no idea how to related a food with the skin of a human.

Wang Chau Jun Spicy and Sour Fish Head Vermicelli

The dish above is Wang Chau Jun's signature dish. I threw away two big lemongrass from the dish, so they are not in the picture. It tastes spicy and sour because of the chilies, lemongrass and tomato I guess. 

Steamed Fish Slice Hor Fun

The dish above is my favourite. Hor Fun is a bigger type of Kuey Tiao, which is the white one on the left. The fish slices are on the right. You have to mix them together with the soy sauce at the bottom.

Wang Chau Jun Special Toufu

Another one is Wang Chao Jun signature bean curd. It is nice as the bean curd is homemade I guess, cooked with dried shrimp. Look carefully for the dried shrimp in the picture.

Stir-Fry Broccoli with Mushroom and Abalone Slice

Honey Drumstick

The honey drumstick is not solely drumstick. You can still find other part of the chicken. Overall, the food here is nice. I had been there for many times and it is still delicious. They will place the order based on the number of heads, otherwise, you need to tell them the portion you want. 

Order Sheet

After you paid them, they will return you the order sheet. Don't expect something fancy printed out from computer. It is a traditional shop. Don't you think it looks better than printed order sheet?

Resorts World Genting (Genting Highlands)

Holiday is never too long! I just came back from Resorts World Genting (RWG) which was named Genting Highlands previously. For the local and people near Malaysia, RWG is nothing new where it is famous for three things; cold weather, theme park and casino. It is called the City of Entertainment because this place is big, located at the top of the hill. The weather is cold and wet because you can actually touch the cloud here! It has big theme park, outdoor and indoor theme parks. Kids come for theme park, adults come for casino, the only casino in Malaysia! Too bad, this trip, I didn't really take a lot of pictures because I spent half my time in the casino. Before I nag further, let's rewind back a few hours before I reached RWG. Breakfast time! I went to Da Dong (大东) for dim sum. Dim sum is actually Hong Kong cuisines. 

Dim Sum

After that, I drove all the way to RWG. It took me about 5-6 hours to reach the hilltop. I love RWG because it has cold weather whole day long.

First World Hotel (Standard Room)

All the pictures above are the scenery from my hotel room. Too bad, and sorry that not much pictures from this trip. Anyway, another sad thing is I lost RM50++ in the casino.
