My dad told me about a place in Aman Suria that makes a pretty good Char Kway Teow. This, coming from a true Penangite’s mouth was enough to make me want to try it out right away. My sister and I decided to go for lunch there… and so we set off with… More »
I’ve chomped down quite a few bowls of this simple dish so pan mee is nothing foreign to me. In fact, I dare say it’s a KLite staple because my Penang mama hankers for it when she comes a-visiting our capital city. With its signage so huge, it’s… More »
