I really don’t expect this good 咸煎饼 can be found here. It’s really thin unlike the thick types and it’s crispy outside and soft inside. Really yummy!!!
This stall in Golden Mile Beach Road Food Centre #01-87 sells very good and value for money fish sets. For $5 you get the Sea Bass set or $5.50 for the Golden Pomfret set. A set consists of half a steamed fish, rice, steamed egg pudding and slices of fruits. The fish is really well steamed not over or under cooked. You can mixed the steamed egg pudding with the rice to eat. Belly yummy.
This is the old school styled prawn noodles which has the soup that’s not too overpowering. The small but not tiny prawns are wholesome not halves. Overall taste is yummy good.
Very tasty fried rice with good wok hei. Rice is not oily nor salty. Add it with ikan billis, dried shrimp, fried egg or luncheon meat to make a wholesome meal.
Very crispy skin with yummy tasty meat inside PERIOD!!!
A stall that sells only fish soup with long waiting time has to be good. And yes it is. The soup has both fried and plain fish slices, fried egg and fish roe too. Though the soup is on the salty side but mixed with rice it’s just right. So if you love fish soup this is a stall to go if you’re in Beseh Food Centre.
Really value for money as the wantons and meat dumplings are filled fully and tasty. Noodles are QQ not sticking together even till the end. $3 for the wanton mee and 70 cents for each meaty dumpling. Overall yummy.
Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre has reopened! And I’m glad this stall has reopened too as it’s run by two elderly ladies. I was afraid they would retire but am truly glad they didn’t. They have an assortment of fried yong tau foo to complement their well fried mee/kueh teow/bee hoon and this very tasty old school laksa. Each yong tau foo is freshly made and fried to perfection. The laksa curry is just spicy enough enough for those who prefer it less spicy and to those who love it more spicy just add their chilli sauce. Others who prefer the fried mee etc order it with addition of the yong tau foo or just plain which is good too. Warning - food may be sold out by late morning. Am certain when they close for the week. Likely Mondays.
Inside Food Paradise, a coffee shop in Blk 11B Boon Tiong, is a stall run by two brothers selling roast meat, soya sauce chicken and wonton mee. The stall used to be in a coffee shop in Jalan Membina and has moved here for a while. Their soya sauce chicken can certainly be at par with the so-called Michelin starred one in Chinatown. Smooth and tender chicken with well cooked mee that’s not sticking in lump, this is easily one of the better soya sauce chicken mee. They sell a good pork rib mee too.
One of the long queues in Tiong Bahru Market & Food Centre is the queue for this good old school styled soya bean milk stall. It sells soya bean milk, curd and chin chow. The soya bean milk and curd are the main attractions. It’s really not the same as those instant soya bean milk types made from powder.
At the corner of the most popular area in Tiong Bahru Market & Food Centre where the queues for the fatty char siew wanton mee and the vegetarian bee hoon stalls are is the prawn mee stall which commands a short queue. The noodles are good with fresh medium sized prawns and tender pork ribs. I love the fact that the mee is well cooked and not sticking together. The chilli sauce is deliciously spicy. It has a good lot of greens and bean sprouts making the dish crunchy. Overall it’s a burping good meal.
I’ve not eaten the white curry mee in Penang but this one is good. As a laksa/curry mee lover I’m really enjoyed it till I completely devoured the bowlful of bee hoon. Really burping good.
