I have tried so many Char Koay Teow everywhere but I would say this is the best so far. At About RM 3.80, it is well worth the price as it comes with big prawns and octopus. This stall has also won many contests.

The Siamese laksa can be ordered mixed with sour laksa and the outcome is awesome. The laksa only costs RM 3 more or less. Also one could add in crispy fried popiah or prawn fritters. Today I discovered there was an addition of tasty kerabu bihun which has big prawns and the cheapest at only RM 2 which is cheaper than the one inside Pulau Tikus market.

Ever since I was young, me and mum would frequent this coffee shop. In the past, there were only three hawker stalls selling laksa, char koay teow and nyonya economy rice but now the number of stalls have increased to stalls selling chicken rice, wantan mee etc which I am yet to taste as I just stay loyal to the char koay teow and laksa.

Do note that it is only open from 11am till late afternoon.

Though I am a Penangite, I rarely scour the restaurants and quaint restaurants in Georgetown, perhaps because I rarely hangout there and family outings usually involve places in Bayan Lepas area since we do not favour jams in town. So I would not have discovered Pik Nik at Nagore Road if not for a school reunion with my ex-classmates there.

The savoury waffles are a great change to the normal jam and ice-cream waffles though a a slightly higher price than those jam waffles you get at RM 2 at the malls. These cost RM 16 per plate, at very minuscule sizes.

The salmon and scrambled eggs, and also bacon waffles were quite tasty. I ordered a Waffle Burger which was just two waffles sandwiching some food in between.

I did not taste the coffee since I try to avoid too much coffee at night just in case I could not sleep. But I love the Passionfruit Yoghurt drink, which again for a strictly fussy yoghurt person like me who is sensitive towards yoghurt smell, was actualy tasty though expensive at RM 9 or RM 10.

Every time I come here, mee udang is one of the must-haves besides the Chicken Pot Pie. But the bad news is that since today is the third day of CNY 2014, the Chicken Pot Pie stall was not open so I was forced to order other food.

The Mee Udang Teluk Kumbar was not bad and we both finished every drop of it. There was a mix of spiciness and soury taste. Very tasty. I guess this cost about RM 6 more or less.

We also ordered the BBQ Chicken sticks with BBQ Sauce, Mango Sauce and Hot and Spicy sauce. I felt there was no distinction between the sauces though and the sauce was too sweet and the meet too hard. Those 9 sticks cost almost RM 12.

The Cuttlefish Kangkung was amazing. The sauce was very thick and tasty. There was also some jellyfish included.

Today there were a group of singers singing old CNY songs and also some Malay songs making the atmosphere more lively. The best part here is eating and enjoying the scenery of the sea in front, especially since we had a strategic spot in front of the sea and had the breeze gently blowing my hair away.

Khuntai Thai Restaurant  Smile Feb 05, 2014

At first we came all the way to Raja Uda to eat the famous Koay Teow Ting at 7 Village Noodle but the shop was closed by 5pm so we ended up at Khuntai which has a very village feel. We ordered the spicy red seafood tom yam soup. The tom yam was very worth it as although it cost RM 23, the portion was very big and there was a lot of octopus inside.

I should not have ordered Steamed Octopus (RM14) I had known there was so much octopus inside the tom yam soup. But the steamed octopus sauce was incredible and sour.

Since we wanted to keep some space for supper later, we ordered the Prawn Claypot Glass Noodle (RM18) which was just ok. The noodles was cooked in quite dark sauce.

The Thai coconut was also very sweet. I ordered the warm chrysanthemum which luckily was not that sweet.

There were also an auto and also some decorations on display so patrons can take pictures.

I have been coming here since I was a small kid. My entire family are seafood lovers so we like to come here to eat the seafood porridge and bihun soup. The kopitiam is open at night for seafood porridge and bihun and also other hawkers like the legendary and best satay in Penang and also sotong kangkung. It is open in the morning selling only roti bakar and also half-boiled eggs. 

One could choose any ingredient such as bird eggs, fish maw, cuttlefish, prawns, fish head, fish fillet, frog etc to go with bihun or porridge or instant noodles. 

This place can be found when you are driving from Penang island to the airport. 

I haven't been here for more than a year. In the past, I used to come here on Saturdays after tuition class in Bayan Baru. I decided to come here because I have been eating heaty food for the past 3 days of Penang food marathon. 

Today I ordered the porridge with fish fillets, fish maw, cuttlefish, half a frog and 2 bird eggs. The eggs are always cooked to a perfect oval shape. The fish fillet (what is called "Pek Chiao" in Hokkien) were so thinly sliced and tasty and soft. The fish maw were edible and not rubbery though I am sure it was not the real one. The frog was so juicy, tender and delicious. The soup is so sweet, coming from all the seafood used to cook this. 

The food here has gone through many generations hence the place is always packed. 

The satay does not contain any chicken fat like what most satay in Klang Valley are made of. The chicken is so succulent and tender. It was cooked with kunyit which lent it the fragrant smell. The satay sauce has a lot of peanuts and the oil cannot be seen, unlike the conventional onces we usually see. The cucumbers were not soggy and the onions were perfectly cut into thin slices. 

I would always come here for generations to come whenever I am in KL. It is a place that reminds me of my family times in Penang. If I come with my father, it is customary for us to order the toasted bread, that is cooked using charcoal. 

I did not order sotong kangkung because I wanted to save room for french crepes later.
