Food new world park penang
Irene brought us to New Work Park hawker centre. She recommended the cendol sold by Lee Brothers stall. Apart from cendol, the stall also sells a variety of ice kacang and also fresh fruit juices. Choices of ice kacang include ice cream, banana, papaya, mango, watermelon, and also mixed fruit ice kacang. Below is picture of Irene in front of the Lee Brothers stall at New World Park.
Apart from that, we also ordered food from other stalls. Let me introduce one by one. This time I introdue the ’star’ system. This is just my personal opinion of the food that I tried. It may be biased or not accurate.
Cendol. This cendol reminds me of Melaka’s Jonker street cendol. It has the gula melaka type of sweetness. Red bean is big and nice too. According to my friend, we have to eat it without stirring or mixing it.
Next is curry mee. We were convinced by one auntie who sit on the same table as us. She highly recommend us this curry mee stall, so we ordered. It turn out that the taste is really bad. Kuantan’s Hoi Yin curry mee is much much nicer.
Hokkien mee. In other part of Malaysia, I believe it is known as Prawn mee. Since young, I disliked prawn mee in Kuantan because of the smell. But this hokkien mee is really nice. I will blog another hokkien mee’s stall soon. The other hokkien mee is much much nicer.
We also ordered fried oyster. Oyster is really really big. Bigger than the oyster in Melaka. I prefer smaller oyster, because bigger oyster will ‘explode’ in your mouth, causing those juice to spread in your mouth.
Lastly, we ordered fried koay teow. We ordered non-spicy and was later told by Irene that we must order spicy version, which is much nicer. My friend told me that this char koay teow is nice, but I feel it is just so so. Penang food really like to add prawn and each of the prawn is big.
Stay tune for my next post for more my visit to Khoo Kongsi clan.

dim sum ipoh ming court yoke fook moon
The morning before we reached Penang, we dropped by at Ipoh to try the famous Dim Sum. Thanks for the direction from Fei Hing (and sorry for calling you early in the morning). We decided to try Ming Court Dim Sum. The place is crowded as early as 7AM. Ipoh people are really healthy, the town is alive early in the morning.
See the picture below. Well, my first impression was ’so small!’. Their Dim Sum size is really small. Yet, after putting it into my mouth, the food is godlike. The ‘loh mai kai’ is good, and the crispy stuff is nice too. Only 1 picture for Ipoh Dim Sum, because we were too busy eating. By the way, the black sesame soup is nice.
There are actually 2 famous Dim Sum shop there. First is Ming Court Dim Sum, and the other shop is Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum. They are both just opposite each other. Fei Hing told me that Ming Court Dim Sum is more famous, but he personally prefer Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum. The next time I go to Ipoh, I’ll try Yoke Fook Moon Dim Sum.
Thumbs up for Ipoh Dim Sum!!
Stay tune for next post in Penang:

Food south city plaza xi men ting
I went to Xi-Men-Ting at South City Plaza with my dear on one beautiful weekend. Previously, we went to the Xi-Men-Ting branch at OUG Plaza (has been closed down now). I ordered set menu, which is priced at RM11.90. It comes with taiwan style deep fry fish fillet rice, konjac jelly, and a choice of either coffee, lipton tea, or ice honey green tea.
My dear ordered pickled vegetables and chicken meat with noodles, with price tag of RM6.90. Pickled vegetables is nice.
Below is picture of both Konjac Jelly and ice honey green tea.
The food in Xi-Men-Ting is really nice and the price is quite reasonable. For a normal set menu, I think the portion will be nice for guys. However, the choice of food is quite limited. If I am not mistaken, they have another branch in UE3 Cheras.
