Chinese (Non-Halal)

Since this restaurant is non-halal most of my office mates can’t join me and so I use this time to enjoy a lunch alone. I bring along a magazine or book and I order my usual and salivate in anticipation. I think by now the servers should know my order…   More »

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 »

Cha-Cha Pan Mee Original

Chinese (Non-Halal)

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 »

Lucky Loke

Chinese (Non-Halal)

The first time I dined at Lucky Loke, I went with a group of friends; one of them was Singaporean. As we parked our car in the dark residential lane and made our way to the corner restaurant, my Singaporean friend gaped at the sight ahead: a restaurant…   More »

Tai Wah Kopitiam

Chinese (Non-Halal)

Char Kway Teow is a local dish that every back street glutton, and most Malaysians for that matter, has eaten. Flat rice noodles, blanched bean sprouts, siham (cockles) and prawns thrown together in a wok, with egg and soy sauce and preferably a fat helping…   More »

Restoran Satellite

Chinese (Non-Halal)

Satellite, as it’s fondly known, a corner shop located along Jalan Gasing, has been a haunt of my friends and I for about 3 years now. It used to be a daily evening ritual until the drudgery of time-consuming college life reduced it to a meager weekend…   More »

Nippy Noodles

Chinese (Non-Halal)

Upon hearing the term bamboo noodles I was instantly intrigued. I always thought noodles were made by mixing ingredients by hand and then running them through a machine to press and cut. After all, these days everything is done with some kind of machine.…   More »

Restoran Kolam Air

Chinese (Non-Halal)

One of my favourite places to enjoy a nice Chinese meal is at this little shop just off of Jalan Ipoh that didn’t even have a name or sign till very recently. The place is run by a husband and wife team, the husband is the chef and the wife takes food…   More »

Soong Kee’s Beef Ball Noodles

Chinese (Non-Halal)

Chan has worked since he was thirteen years old. Now he is about sixty. What makes a person work almost half a decade century for the same employer? That's getting extremely rare these days. Curious to meet the owner,…   More »

Alisan Laksa

Chinese (Non-Halal)

This is a nondescript stall along a row of similar looking stalls. Other owners try to entice you to their establishments but this lone stall at the end of the row requires no hawking whatsoever. The crowd speaks for itself. It’s the only stall where…   More »
