Hokkien Mee and Pan Mee @ Lebuh Carnarvon, Penang.

From the last post, I have blogged about Jit Seng Hong Kong Roasted Duck. And today, I am going to blog about the same coffee shop but different business operating hour. 

I am going to blog about the breakfast that is selling in this coffee shop. 

For my last visit, it was full with customers and I don't have the chance to capture the wall of the coffee shop.loves their tiles design.

Hokkien Mee

This bowl of hokkien mee is a large serve. The broth of the hokkien mee is rather sweet and nice aroma of the prawn. Even with the chili paste added on to the broth, I still don't feel any spiciness  in this bowl of hokkien noodles. Those who can't take too spicy food, they will love it. Like my princess. Hahaha......

Pan Mee - RM4.50

The new pan mee stall is just operated from July 1st this year. Since we were there, we surely will give it a try. The work station is very clean with the noodle machine on the shelves ready to make on the spot pan mee.

We order the dried version of pan mee to try. It was quite nice but I felt that the pan mee is a bit soft for my liking. But it tastes good for my hubby though as he is noodles lover I would said. Hahaha.....

Dumpling - RM3.50

Apart from that, we ordered the dumpling to try. This bowl of dumpling consists of 3 dumplings. The textures of the dumplings were firmed and the ingredients in it included some vegetables and meat.

Mackerel Curry Fish Noodles @ Pinang Taste Seafood Restaurant- Lebuh Carnorvan, Penang.

While walking around Penang two weeks ago, we stumbled across this coffee shop while we were making a u - turn since the street was occupied with the morning markets.

The big red sign of Mackerel Curry Noodles catches our attention. So we decided to give this a try in our next food hunting trip. 

According to the uncle, they just barely open for less than 2 months. 

PINANG TASTE SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

It is just located few shops away from Restoran Aik Hoe.

Mackerel Curry Fish Noodles

The mackerel being served in this bowl of curry noodles is very fresh. They did not deep fried it. Mostly I will have the deep fried mackerel fish. This is actually my first time trying the poached mackerel. Due to the freshness from the fish, it actually makes the bowl of Curry Mee more unique. On the table itself, they have a small containers filled with chilli paste. You can add the amount of chilli according to your tastes. The curry mee per bowl with the mackerel cost around RM6. They do sell curry mee without mackerel though. Just the standard curry Mee.

In the meantime, you will find the following art inside the coffee shop:

Eté Café @ Lebuh Carnarvon

During one Saturday morning in December 2013, we went down to town to settle something. After everything settle, we decided to find a coffee shop to sit down and catch up with one of my friends that back from overseas.

Since we were just nearby Lebuh Carnarvon, we chose to have some snacks and coffee @ Eté Café. I have seen this cafe from ASTRO - 寫食人生 (Tasteful Life). Basically, this shop is operated by the Taiwanese couple. They learnt their skills from Le Cordon Blue Cooking School. This cafe offers freshly brewed coffee and also cakes and pastry.

Following were the coffee and cakes/pastry/desserts that we ordered for our visit to this shop:

All their coffee were served without sugar nor milk. It just the original tastes of the coffee.

 Golden Mandheling "PAWANI"

Classic Brazil Cerrado TOP

Ice Drip Coffee - RM15

I chose ice drip coffee for a try. Since it's a hot sunny day, a cup of ice drip coffee is just perfect to cheer my day! 

 Cheese Raspberry Cake

Out of the three cakes/desserts/pastry, my gal favourites go to this cheese raspberry cake.

 Mille Feuille

Creme Brulee

We were told to save this creme brulee for the coffee. As the coffee does not added any sugar. If you go together with the coffee. It is just a perfect match.

Overall, it's another nice shop to stop by for a cup of coffee. But it is just a very small shop without air condition.

Restoran Aik Hoe, Lebuh Carnorvan, Penang

Have you ever try the golden day styles of "Yum Cha" in Penang before? I heard so much about hubby grandpa stories of where he loved to had his dim sum in Penang and mostly have closed down. Finally, I came to know this place after reading Guang Ming and also from CK blog's. So I tell hubby about this place and we decided to give it a try! But in our first attempt, the restaurant is close. Then we went back again another day. Lucky that it's open. lol

Restoran Aik Hoe

Chair that crafted with the name "Restoran Aik Hoe"

If you see this on the chair, that's mean you are in the right restaurant. lol

Nice floor decoration
ok...... back to the topic of foods. But before that tell you our incident to this shop. We arrived there after searching a car park and it's during weekday. And to be surprise, we saw many people in the shop. Many are old folks and also some younger generation accompany their parents, granny and grandpa for breakfast. When we spotted seat for two, we grab it and waited. We were wondered whether we should go over the kitchen and order for foods as we saw many people walked to the back of kitchen and came out with foods. But after browsing through other tables, I told hubby, I guessed we need to wait. As many people had nothing on the table except pot of tea.

After waited for few minutes, came the order for tea. We were asked whether we want to have any noodles. And she told us a list of noodles, then hubby decided to try Wantan Mee. Which I will elaborates more in this post.

Then waited for about 15 minutes or more, we saw the staff there carry the big tray of dim sum out from the kitchen and goes one by one to each table. I was like huh...... they still serve it this way? I quite enjoy it though. So we ordered:

Siew Mai

Fun Cheong Kuen

This is something different which we never try before. And we were told by the shopper there that this is very famous. So we ordered and try. We quite like the tastes. As it has the combination of pork, black fungus, shrimp and water chestnuts. Give it a try!

Har Gao

Sweet Corn

The fillings in there is sweet corn. And I was told that it is rather sweet and I warned hubby about that. Since he is sweet corn lover. He decided to try. End up, he also reckon that it is very sweet for him. lol

Yoke Aun Kuen

This is another special thing dim sum which we never encounter before. And we thought it is very big but it is very small pieces. The water chestnut with pork makes the dim sum some sweetness. Have you try this before?

Spare Ribs

Chai Koay

I am actually a chai koay lover and will try any chai koay that is available. In fact, I am waiting for my MIL to teach me her version of chai koay. The chai koay sold in this shop are not bad.

Char Siew Pao

Hubby being a pao lover. Never failed to order any pao during the dim sum section. And he found that the char siew pao is quite nice and the size is eventually cute and small compares to other eateries. And we bought some back for my gal to try.

Gai Chat

We saw this just before we about to pay. But could not resist to try it. It is basically steam chicken. But we found that it is slightly salty for our liking. But the chicken is very tender.

Lor Mai Kai

I purposely took the photos of the steel bowl. I found that it is very cute and small. It is use for lor mai kai. I quite enjoy the lor mai kai in this shop. Not sure why? Perhaps the little cute steel bowl makes me to just loving it. lol

Wantan Mee

After hubby ordered this plate of wantan mee, I asked hubby why he ordered wantan mee in a dim sum shop? Hubby reply me that he feels like trying the wantan mee. ok.... fine with me. The wantan mee arrived after we had few servings of dim sum. And hubby comments that the wantan mee is not bad. Have the springy textures.

Overall, we quite enjoy the old style of dim sum in Penang. And this is in fact my first try of dim sum without using pushing cart instead of using hand to carry the big bamboo baskets. The second encounter is in Sungai Petani which I will blog about it next time.

Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ Lebuh Carnarvon, Penang

I have been waiting for a chance to visit the stalls @ Seng Thor Coffee Shop for quite some time. As I have been reading many food blogs about this place. But since I read some negative reviews about this place. I decided not to bring my gal there. So while my gal goes to school, we head down to this place and give it a try!

Kedai Kopi Seng Thor

The main purpose we visited this shop is to try out their Koay Teo Thn'g. But since it a long wait, hubby decide to order Lor Mee to try it out.

Lor Mee

Well..... the lor mee stall is not busy as the KTT stall. So we just waited for a while and the lor mee is being served in front of us. Hubby comments that the lor me is just so-so but I did not try it out as I am waiting eagerly for the KTT. ^-^

Koay Teow Thn'g

Well..... from the look of the KTT, it looks something like the King Street KTT. But after start digging it, we can know the differences. Perhaps we have too high hope of the outcomes. And it turn out to be just so-so for us. We still prefer the Sin Hoe Peng.

We would like to try other foods stall but too bad that they are not open on the day. ^-^

Kafe Fountain @ Lebuh Carnarvon, Penang

During one weekend, we decided to have our dinner @

Kafe Fountain

Location: Lebuh Carnarvon, Penang.

Since the Koay Teow Thn'g still not ready yet and we were so "hungry" as we had early lunch that day. So hubby ordered:

Char Mee

The noodles is ok. As I don't like the noodles to be too soft.

Fried Rice

My gal had this and she told me that it tastes nice. And she almost finished the whole plate by herself.

Roasted Duck Rice and duck spare parts

The duck rice and duck spare parts tastes nice. The duck is tender and crispy. However, I don't like the way that they put too much sauce on my plate of rice. Next time, I will ask them to separate the sauce. That way I think it would taste better for me. ^o^

Once the Koay Teow Thn'g is ready, the stall owner give hubby signal that he is ready for operation. Then hubby went and ordered:

Koay Teow Mee Thn'g

Hubby had this and the soup base is nice and hubby enjoys his bowl of Koay teow Mee Thn'g.

Chicken

Hubby ordered a plate of chicken from the Koay Teow Thn'g stall. And the chicken tastes nice too. My gal enjoy eating it.

Loh Chicken Feet

Hubby also ordered another plate of loh chicken feet and the chicken feet is very tender and tastes nice.
