Little Penang Kafe in The Curve may sound familiar, this is because it has long established itself in Suria KLCC.

Little Penang Kafe’s Chicken Nasi Lemak

Just like the restaurant’s name, little can be said of the Nasi Lemak. Sri Nirwana in Bangsar still serves the best nasi lemak so far.

Little Penang Kafe’s Assam Laksa

The Assam Laksa, however, is full of flavor — it’s sour and has a generous amount of fish meat.

Little Penang Kafe’s Sugar Cane and Cincau

The Sugar Cane drink barely tastes like those Sugar Cane drinks from the hawkers stalls. While the Cincau drink is ordinary, nothing too special about it.

Price

• Chicken Nasi Lemak - RM 9.80
• Assam Laksa - RM 9.80
• Sugar Cane - RM 3.30
• Cincau - RM 3.30

When it comes to good coffee, Northern Malaysia never lacks it. Sin Min Hong Coffee Shop in Butterworth is famous for its special coffee.

Sin Ming Hong’s Special Coffee (Hot)

Sin Ming Hong’s Special Coffee (Cold)

Special Coffee looks special and different from the ordinary coffee in kopitiam. However, I feel it tastes almost the same like the ordinary coffee and fail to taste any difference in it.

Sin Ming Hong’s Babyshake

Babyshake is nevertheless a special drink which consists of milk tea and a small amount of coffee powder. There is a strong flowery taste in it as well.

Sin Ming Hong’s Egg on Toast

Egg on Toast consists of half-boiled eggs and toasts except the eggs are on the toast as the name has suggested. Special but I still prefer to eat them separately. What about you?

Price

• Egg on Toast - RM 2.60
• Special Coffee (Cold) - RM 1.60
• Special Coffee (Hot) - RM 1.30
• Babyshake - RM 2.80

Have you ever heard of "Rojak Cucuk"? Unlike those rojak in Kuala Lumpur, Rojak Cucuk is somehow different — it is like a skewed kebab except mostly are fruits. Rojak Cucuk is unique and probably weird for KL people.

Rojak Cucuk Penang

Overall, the rojak is cheap and delicious. What’s more, you don’t get these anywhere else.

Price

• Rojak Cucuk - RM 0.40 a stick

Soup kuey teow is quite popular in Penang. In Butterworth, Restoran Sai Toh Lim is quite famous with its soup kuey teow. It is located on Lorong Ceri 7 off Jalan Uda.

Fish ball is the highlight of the restaurant as the name (????) speaks for itself.

Sai Toh Lim’s Soup Kuey Teow

Soup Kuey Teow is no doubt savory and good to every bit.

Sai Toh Lim’s Dry Kuey Teow

Dry Kuey Teow is slightly less appetizing even though the chili is quite good.

Sai Toh Lim’s Hokkien Prawn Noodles

Hokkien Prawn Noodles is pretty tasty with Penang flavors. You don’t get these too often in Kuala Lumpur these days. So, it’s good and spicy!

Overall, the food in Restoran Sai Toh Lim is quite good and dirt cheap with RM 2.50 for small bowl and RM 3.00 for big bowl, you won’t find these price in KL.

Price

• Soup Kuey Teow - RM 2.50
• Dry Kuey Teow - RM 2.50
• Hokkien Prawn Noodles - RM 2.50

Gurney Drive is a restaurant in The Gardens, Mid Valley that serves local delicacies from Penang. Don’t be fooled by the descriptions of Gurney Drive, they are food stalls, but it’s a restaurant actually. The gimmick is to trick people into believing the food are cheap since most restaurants in The Gardens serve expensive food.

The entrance of Gurney Drive

Chee Cheong Fun

This is the worst Chee Cheong Fun I ever had — plain and blatant, it doesn’t even has any Yong Tao Foo and it’s priced at RM 8.00.

Duck Drumstick Noodle

Meanwhile, the Duck Drumstick Noodle (??) is up to par with price like RM 15.00, it is at least worth the money.

Mango Milk Shake

Ice Kacang

Price

• Duck Drumstick Noodle - RM 15.00
• Chee Cheong Fun - RM 8.00
• Milk Shake - RM 9.00
• Ice Kacang - RM 6.00
