The Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow Kafe Heng Huat Review

It came no surprise when the boycott news spread like wildfire lately due to an incident between the famous Lorong Selamat’s Char Koay Teow Kafe Heng Huat and a customer. This was not their first case as I was told.

I came to know about this popular char koay teow stall a few years due to recommendations by friends and clients. I was there a few times for my crave’s for Penang’s char koay teow.
The stall is located at Kafe Heng Huat, …

Tune Hotel Penang Review: My First Budget Hotel Review
It is one of the cheapest I could find on the Internet. I’m talking about the Tune Hotel Penang. Conveniently located at Burmah Road, it is walking distance to Komtar, the popular Lorong Selamat and Macalister Road.

Everyone knows about this place, if you don’t have a map, just ask around, Penangites are very friendly.
Without a doubt my pure intention is to stay cheap / budget with the best accommodation. Booked a few weeks in advance, I managed to book it under RM …

Another post written by me, Rachel been busy taking care of the house, asking her to write will add up more work for her. She will love to write a few upcoming ones, but for now I’m to write this.
I blogged about flymas.mobi recently and we used it for our bloggers’ Penang “makan” trip.

It all happened on last Sunday. I fetched Bryan, Ivy Ai Wei and Wei Zhi of Kampungboycitygal to KLIA. Luckily, I managed to grab this picture out of no where.

Then, we met the rest. …

Almost knocked out when I reached back home today. Luckily, going back to Kuala Lumpur was traffic free. Yet, a stalled car near my house caused a massive crawl that shouldn’t been happening.
Yesterday, I posted a preview what’s I’m going to show you today.
Tomorrow its the official soft launch of the Hard Rock Hotel in Penang. Being a “kiasu” and also I was so happened in Penang, I decided to drop by for a visit.

I wasn’t lucky. Reached there around 8 pm, and it was still raining. It didn’t stop …

This dated June when we were there for a short trip. We didn’t been to Kek Lok Si for a while so going there was a dejavu… There’s few things you can do around Kek Lok Si, shopping, eating and the Penang Hill cable car. I did blog about the famous assam laksa around the area, read more about it HERE. We didn’t manage to go up the famous Penang Hill as the tickets were sold out!

Unfortunately, we were late and they were closing. Yet, they were nice enough for …

It was RM 1.20 when I came across Vkeong’s post. Now, its RM 1.50. Guess the inflation hits Penang as well as in KL.
I didn’t go there on purpose… seriously. It was by chance. It was too early in the morning to look for foods. It was around 10 am and it happened a few weeks ago. Lorong Selamat’s famous stalls were still unopened at that time so we went around and found this food court.
We were told that the beef noodle is famous there. Yet, I found something interesting …

Well, its not really my intention to do live blogging from Tune Hotel, Penang. Just that I couldn’t sleep even a whole day long of work so why not?
I checked in quarter to 12 midnight. Pre-booked the rooms yesterday and got ourselves (me and my crews) a very small but very clean and modern looking rooms. Its a one night stay, I’m leaving later.
I posted a few messages on my msn, twitter and plurk asking for supper from Penangites, only a few replied. Knowing my usual over friendly craziness attitude, …

This going to be a short one. We stumbled upon this restaurant, Sin Tai Tung at the Macallister Road during our last visit to Penang. It was a brunch and we were on our way back to Kuala Lumpur. Since we had lots of heavy meals a day before, we decided to order something fast and simple.

The potato leaf came first. Stir fried lightly with garlic, the potato leaf taste rather average. The potato leaf was rather “old” and the taste was rather flat.

Next, the 1/2 bird roast chicken. The …

My third run in my life and of the year. Craziest thing to do was, we drove all the way to Penang to join this run. I ran 6km and wife, Rachel ran for 26km.

Well, I was running 6km for Malakoff 2009. I thought it was easy. Damn I was so wrong!
My run started at 6.30 am. The first few km was easy, later on I realized I was gasping for air. As we were running near the sea, the air contains salt and the air was …

Apparently Char Kuey Teow was not the only famous food at Lorong Selamat in Penang. In Kedai Kopi Dan Ais Kacang, their lobak is equally famous as their char kuey teow.

The little nice Lok Bak stall that was visible from far….

Famous Lorong Selamat Lok Bak…??

Well, the lok bak came in bulk! We were surprised! The food was overall good. Not to say impressive but it was good. Everything was fried to cripiness! Goes very well with the sauce and the chili sauce. Something to look forward while waiting for the …

Penang has been famous for its char kuey teow. I’ve been craving for a good char kuey teow for some time since the stall near my house missing in action few months ago. When I was in Penang last weekend, I wouldn’t be satisfy without tasting a good char kuey teow. Indeed, I found one great char kuey teow stall at Lorong Selamat in Penang. It was a great find thanks to CK Lam.
Many would go to the sister’s char kuey teow stall at Lorong Selamat, but we were recommended …

I would stop and have a bowl of assam laksa even though I couldn’t fill my tummy anymore.
Last Saturday, me, Rachel, Steph and Khai made a quick visit to Penang. People has been telling me about this assam laksa stall near Kek Lok Si temple. After passing by the stall on our way back from Kek Lok Si temple, seriously I couldn’t resist the temptation. We stopped and shared a few bowls of assam laksa (even though we had a very heavy lunch).

This was where it begins. Penang branded assam …
