Everyone coming to Damansara Uptown should be familiar with this authentic KL style Hokkien Mee place that has been serving for many years at this neighbourhood. They have since expanded into a much bigger space now.
KL style Hokkien Mee used the thicker kind of noodle, cooked with meat, veggie and prawn soak in sweet dark sauce.
As I’m searching for a pastry to go with, their curry puff really attracts me for its very unique kind of pastry that I would imagine for a curry puff.
Stuffed with curry potatoes that’s not too spicy.
The last time I’m at this neighbourhood was almost 10 years ago and happy to see how Kelana Jaya has developed so far.
Located just a short walk from the nearest Kelana Jaya LRT Station, this bakery cafe is almost full house on weekend; even there’s no obvious signage at the shopfront and you have to enter the shop by the side.
I needed something refreshing to kickstart my visit here and decided to go with their coffee lemonade. Strong coffee hint yet with lemonade taste as you drink.
Also known as Indian rojak, this dish can be commonly found in Penang.
While many tourists would try it at Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, there’s also some popular stalls that locals like to visit.
Particularly this roadside stall at Beach Street, located along Union Street. Kareem Pasembur has been selling for many years, catering to those who working around.
Firstly you need to choose some of the fried items to go with. Many people would recommend you the prawn fritter.
Then they will cut them into pieces and topped with sweet chili sauce and some veggie.
For many tourists to Penang, Penang Hill is always on their list to visit here.
Up at the top of the hill, where you get a panoramic view of Penang island. And you definitely don’t want to miss out getting some dessert after exploring this area.
There’s a few stalls here selling Ice Kacang, and particularly this stall named the Lily has been here serving since 1986.
The ABC Ice Kacang is the most comprehensive dessert you can find, coming with all the ingredients and vanilla ice cream to complete this Ice Kacang.
A cozy spot you can find in George Town for some decent coffee. Located just directly opposite the Esplanade field.
They offered complimentary alternative option of milk with oat here.
One thing to take note that the mobile signal here is pretty bad and they don’t offer WiFi unfortunately.
Many Singaporeans are familiar with this coffee shop that off the main road, but still attracting many of us coming for some decent Penang foods.
Outside the coffee shop you would find this famous stall that sell char koay kak.
The Penang style of carrot cake that fry wok hey enough and mixed with lots of cai po and black sauce.
Most importantly, this stall also gotten their recognition on Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand last year. Proving this is one stop you definitely must visit here in Penang.
This is a good Halal place to bring your Muslim friends for some decent sushi and other Japanese foods.
I gotten the inari tempura sushi, salmon mentai sushi, ebi mentai sushi and egg mayo sushi.
Nippon Sushi is a Japanese chain in Malaysia that has opened their outlets across the country. They are also a Halal restaurant.
Looking for something more staple to go with the sushi? I would recommend getting dishes like the rice, ramen, udon or soba.
The simple warm udon would be this that comes with seaweed. I find the warm soup was too sweet for me. But the udon texture is great.
One of the best pairings of soup and rice is the salted vegetables soup with a bowl of braised yam rice. The version at Hon Kei Food Corner is done very well with the soup having a refreshing tangy flavour with the addition of minced pork and pork balls. The tomatoes also added a nice sweetness, all pairing well with the accompanying yam rice. The best kind of foods that you will want to eat when the weather turns cold.
