The inside of this biscuit is filled with grated coconut made with pandan flavour. The pastry is the usual the mooncake pastry hence this biscuit is only available a month before the Mooncake Festival. The filling is tasty and formed the core of the biscuit. The pastry is flavourful as it is made with flour and molasses. Overall its sweetness is just right. Due the the fact that it’s filled grated coconut the biscuit cannot be eaten more than 10 days after production. The restaurant made this biscuits only once a year. Super yummy!

Coming back here in Penang I’ve always think that this is a dim sum restaurant. But having this noodles I changed my mind. It’s a good Penang Zi Char place. This dish’s noodles are crispy and tasty. The big prawns are fresh hence sweet and crunchy. The gravy is cooked with the prawn roe thereby making it sweet and tasty. Very yummy. The restaurant opens early in the morning for dim sum and the lunch Chef comes in the later part of the morning to prepare for lunch. Restaurant closes at 3 pm after lunch.

This is steamed as it's served to you. The elderly lady pushes a cart with gas tank with stove steaming all food items to serve you.

Not too bad but could be better. Soup a bit diluted and meat ok only. Taste is quite good.

RM2.30 for a yummidelicious bowl of Penang Teochew Chendol is really heavenly.

Putu mayung is what Singaporeans called putu mayam. This road side stall near Penang Times Square is well known for its freshness and taste. People just walk by and get take away as there isn't any sit in to eat.

This curry mee is unlike Singapore curry mee. Coconut milk is not used and ingredients such as cockles, cuttlefish, pig's blood are used. Very tasty and at RM4 each bowl is really value for $.
