Kaya Butter Toast Penangites Lifestyle
Covering all Penangites lifestyle in one blogpost at a time!!!
For the month of May 2014, Eastin Hotel Penang’s Swez Brasserie is introducing Greek Grandeur as its buffet theme. This is definitely a bold move by the Eastin Hotel Penang management to introduce Greek cuisine to Penangnites! That’s definitely a fresh and novel culinary experience for us! KayaButter have never tried before Greek food, so definitely KayaButter will be reviewing the food using our localized taste bud

So, KayaButter were invited by TourDirections Penang, a directory portal of all things Penang that includes food, accommodation and places of attractions, for a food review session at Noor & Dean Cafe, located at Noordin Street (双裕楼) @ Lebuh Noordin. Butter can’t make it that day because she has a class at WOU that time. 🙁
One of the staple food that Penangnites eat for their lunch or dinner will be the ubiquitous chicken rice. Hainanese chicken rice is very famous in South East Asian countries especially Malaysia and Singapore. This is a must try dish if you are in Malaysia or Singapore. Today, KayaButter are going to introduce to my readers, a famous chicken rice that KayaButter always patronize. This is a very famous chicken rice stall in Penang with a lot of our local newspapers such as The Star, Sin Chew and so on, featured this stall before.
This is one of Kaya’s mum favorite lor mee stall in Penang. Located opposite or some will call it as besides the Penang very famous temple, Goddess of Mercy Temple or the locals will call it as Kuan Yin Teng (Hokkien Language). The Kuan Yin temple will be very busy every 1st and 15th of the lunar month. Full of her devotees who will worship her and also other gods and goddesses there.
Goku Raku Ramen has been renamed to Edo Ramen with the introduction of their new menu effective on 7th April 2014. Edo Ramen is still under the same management team of Goku Raku Ramen and their menu has been simplified. Instead of a lot of different kind of foods and choices, the management team decided to streamline their choices in two types of meat served and four kinds of soups to choose from. They wish to be able to serve their famous ramen faster and more efficient, hence, reduced waiting time. And one big positive note is that the price has been adjusted LOWER despite all the increases in their costs. Well done! 🙂
So, my mother in-law invited us for an early morning dim sum together with my father in-law. Dim sum is one of Chinese’s favorite breakfast. Kaya will call is as a premium breakfast since many of the dim sum restaurants have raised its prices since the prices of petrol, sugar and recently the purported water rate hike and God knows what else more. Some dim sum restaurant maintained the quality of their offerings but some reduced their quality despite the price increase. We chose Dian Xin Zhi Jia because of its affordable prices. Taste wise? Read on.
After hearing our pastor mentioning about the famous ak thui mee suah (literally means duck drumstick vermicelli) and the famous cham peng (a drink you can order in many coffee shops around Penang that means iced coffee mixed with milk tea), we arranged our time to go and eat it again. Yes, KayaButter have been here a few times but always didn’t find the chance to blog about it.
This is one of the latest addition to the restaurants and food franchises that are available in Penang’s largest shopping mall, Queensbay Mall (QBM). It is not very new since The Little Nyonya Cuisine (TLNC) 小娘惹 has been around in Penang for many months already but new in the sense that TLNC 小娘惹 is a rather new face in QBM food scene.
Well, last Saturday, Butter and her coursemates went to G Hotel Gurney for their after exam gathering that had been postponed for a long while. Kaya tagged along. Hehe 🙂 G Hotel Gurney definitely is considered as the most contemporary and chic hotel with its bold and special designs. So, Kaya will not miss this chance to dine there!
