PENANG HERITAGE  檳島茶室 – SENGKANG, SINGAPORE

Lor Bak, Penang Assam Laksa, Penang Char Kway Teow, Peranakan, Taiwanese

Have been wanting to try this place and finally I found time with mummy just before this Phase 2 HA lock down. It’s a nice casual restaurant where you can get not just your zichar and Penang dishes but also Nasi Lemak and Beehoon Mee for brekkie. When it comes to their Penang dishes, the Penang Laksa ($6.80) is definitely the winner, with a portion of prawn paste and housemade chilli to go with it. Creeping up behind is the Char Kway Teow ($8.80) which comes with crab meat on top and 2 large prawns with super duper wok hei. Damn delicious! Penang Lor Bak with Prawn Crackers also not bad but a little on the expensive side.

Penang Char Kway Teow – Bedok, Singapore

Char Kway Teow, Fried Carrot Cake, Penang Char Kway Teow, Singapore

This is truly a hidden gem tucked in between so many stalls with so many pictures of food hanging all over the place. Was here for lunch after doctor’s for Diana and I noticed this old uncle do not have that many orders like the other stalls in this coffeeshop. I told Diana that I had a feeling that the food might be good. So I approached the stall.

Mr Leong, the old uncle who retired being a crane operator is 77 years old this year and have been operating this stall for over a year. This is a very scary sight because at this age, he should be happily retired and living his life. There could be a lot of factors to consider but I’m leaning towards happy and positive thoughts… maybe his passion for cooking supersedes everything. So ya, here he is answering my questions and the first thing I asked him was,”Uncle, if I had to eat one thing, what would you recommend. He pointed the Penang Char Kway Teow. I told him ok let’s do it. $3 one plate. Reviews below:

MADAM KWAN’S @ MEGA MALL

Malaysia, Nasi Lemak, Penang Char Kway Teow

If you’re at Mega Mall @ Mid Valley Malaysia, you may have a lot of choices for food. So I decided to give this Madam Kwan’s a try and I was in for some surprise… Click to enlarge pics.

The restaurant is just outside Jusco on level 2 in the centre of the mall... if I can remember clearly...Service Counter

Ambience

Pretty good Penang Char Kway Teow

Super Famous Nasi Lemak - From the left is sambal ikan bilis, cucumber, curry chicken, hard boil egg, and fish floss. I would prefer the ikan bilis to be the crispy ones with peanuts, sambal chilli on the side, sunny side up to replace the hard boil egg. But this is Malaysian style lah, but everything is very tasty.

Looks at the rice... grain by grain... very fragrant of coconut milk.

Achar by the side... not too bad but the ones at Punggol Nasi Lemak (Upp Serangoon) is a lot better.

chunky curry chicken... 2 pieces of super thick gravy curry chicken thigh meat. very nice.

Juicy Chicken Wings! Very nice and juicy when you bite into this mid section.

Rating: 4.5/5. Service not too good. Quite a shame cos they have many branches in KL and food is pretty good.

Taste: Very good. High class Malaysian local cuisine lah… But it’s good.

Portion: Average. Extra rice will cost you… forgot to take a look at the price.

Price: Total abo0ut RM$40+ for 2.

RTE: For the Nasi Lemak and I wanna try the other Nasi dunno whathat uses 3 different kinds of rice.

Location: Mega Mall @ Mid Valley centre wing

Blk 17 Upp Boon Keng Market

Penang Char Kway Teow
It’s been a while since I’ve been to this old market for some of the good food here. I’ve arranged 2 friends to meet me here before we head on to May Day’s DNA concert in Singapore Indoor Stadium. The place can be accessible by walking from Kallang MRT Station also.

One of the must try here is an old couple’s Penang Char Kway Teow at #01-08. The stall is just right in front of the carpark when you reach the market.

Quite a big plate with whole prawns

Rating: 5/5

Taste: If you have tasted the Penang Char Kway Teow in Penang, this is the closest you’ll get in Singapore. It’s damn good I tell you! Not too salty, not too oily, prawns are fresh, kway teow is tender and the fire control is perfect. No cockles for this one.

Portion: Very good for the price!

Price: $2.50 per plate only…

RTE: You bet! 🙂 Old couple no recognition from those commercialised rating programmes… So we must support them lah. 🙂
