As a continuous post from my Penang trip, this is the one and only local delicacy I had due to the time constraint stupidly heavy rain on Sunday. Weird, why must I pay for parking even on Sunday? I thought Sunday is like a parking-free day nationwide.
It’s a Sunday and heavy rain like hell, but people still chose to eat out. I wonder why.
While waiting for food, I was enjoying this painting they have it on their wall. It says:
” Customers who do not order our drinks are not welcome”.
” Do not move the table at your own wish.”
Weird indeed. What if I die die also don’t order? What can they possibly do to me man. But, I still ended up with a barley, and that’s before I even read this painting. And, they said moving tables are not allowed. But, what if I am like a giant and I practically bang everything around to make my way in to the shop? Again, they can’t possibly do shit to me right.
Without anything else to order, we ordered this yam cake. It was quite okay. Not too watery nor hard. But I loved the fried onions on top more.
And finally, this is their fried kuay teow. Look at the prawns man. And I think the white flakes on top was coconut shreds. But, I can’t be sure. Is there anything else that looks like that? Can anyone tell me? This plate acherly cost RM5.00!!!
You see, it was only 12.50pm, and they have packed and left the stall! I don’t know what’s the hurry, but probably some people just like it the way.
So, will anyone tell me what lorong is this stall located at?
LOL, the white flakes are frozen but thawed crab meat which is tasteless. Usually locals like us avoid the place and the CKT but the yam cake/or kueh is nice and worth a visit. If you go again, the coffee shop right across has one of the nicest nasi lemak in the morning.
hey hey
even it’s sunday and u will still need to pay for the parking fee because the parking stuff is not under majlis perbandaran/goverment.it’s under private car park owner. but the good thing is u wont get saman even if u dun pay =p
yala, there is this kind of shop in penang will charge u 50 cents if u dun order drinks. weird, right?
The place is not worth visiting. It rests on its laurels based on word and mouth from its taste years ago. it’s a Penang myth perpetuated by first time tourists to Penang who don’t know what Penang cha koay teow should taste like
lilian: no wonder the white strips didnt taste like anything. what lorong is that again?
ju: those people come chasing after u under umbrella to pay for the parking even in heavy rain. u mean, even if i dont order any drinks, they charge me 50cent for the air?
Ah Bong: Sigh I wanted to eat more, I wanted asam laksa, but not ckt. Anyway the reason that I went to the stall was becoz it was near the hotel i stayed in. and many shops were close on sunday. didnt want to go far, and not knowing where else to go, we decided just to pop in to any shop that opened. where is the best place for ckt? i find this ckt is quite oily to my taste
This Lam Heng Coffee Shop is on Jalan Macalister. Yea their CKT is not out-of-the-world but still tasted very good to KL-lites like us no? Despite what the locals said about it.
