Butterworth Café  

Of the 3 old school Western Food Joints in Butterworth, Butterworth Café is definitely my favorite place. Why?  (Salad Bowl @ Jalan Chain Ferry, Top Taste @ Taman Inderawasih are the other two, i will get around to reviewing them later)  

• The atmosphere in the Café invoke memories and reminds one of the RAAF days in Butterworth
• They do one of the better Pizza (thin crust) in Penang 
• Most important is the obliging and helpful Owner   

My Meal when ever I drop by in this Aircondition cafe will be a Margarita Pizza and a couple of beers,  However that not all what they serve,  Currently they have a do it your self pizza counter, as well as the regular chicken chops and others Malaysianise Western Food. 

The Tiramisu is definitely the better ones in Butterworth,  so is the Mushroom Soup, home made goodness full of mushroom  not the canned verity that most serve and Garlic Bread are our favorites here.

Back to the Pizza :  All the pizzas is bake lovingly on your order, so it will take some time,  best if you order some mushroom soup munch on the garlic bread while you wait.  Pizza is serve on a wooden chopping board, order a verity and share.   The Perfect accompaniment for Pizza,  Tabasco Sauce is serve in 2 verities.  Mild Green and Hot Red

How it works :  To mitigate a large staffing requirement, Butterworth Café practice a self ordering system,  You will be given a clipboard, with the menu, as soon as you sit down, all you need to do is to write how many of each.   Hand it over to your serve and your drinks and food will be arriving soon.  Cutleries with quaint salt and pepper shakers are on your table.

Location  :  Butterworth café is actually located a distance from Butterworth Old Town,  along the Main Road heading towards the Butterworth Air Base at Telok Air Tawar.   You can Waze there, or for those travelling with out GPS, take the Main Road (Jalan Bagan Luar) out of Butterworth old town heading up North, Passing by Pantai Bersih, and just after that u will see Butterworth Café on your right  (see Map Provided Note :  My Map is facing south upwards)   There is a small car park at the Café compound.   

Kudos to the Owner, genuinely Obliging and Helpful, best affordable western dining experience …….

Chu Cha @ Old Market Food Court 

How did old Market Food Court get it name?  Well not surprisingly Old Market Food Court was previously Jalan New Ferry Wet Market.   Once the Market was transferred to Heng Choon Thian Rd, near Butterworth Police Station, the Market was basically left disuse till recently it was turn into a food court. 

Chu Cha is basically a verity of food cook to order ie a small “Restaurant” in a food court.  The Chu Cha stall here IMHO is one of the better ones around with some interesting dashers.

One of the Dish we have is Otak Otak Steam Prawns,  Otak Otak is a Spicy Egg Pudding usually with Fish, however we took the prawns option.  Delicious, Best Dish of the Day!       

Other then that we had, Vegetable soup, Fish Curry, Claypot Tauhu, Kang Kong Belachan, Oyster Sauce Braised Chicken.   Sorry the pictures turn out shaky, so i did not include them

No Name Shack, Loh Mee 

Butterworth still have a number of No Name Shack Places, which at the first glace would tell you why bother to eat there.  How wrong can one be?

When you really think about it,  most of this no name shack are olden days eateries started from scratch, that has survive the test of time, and competition, basically they have not bother to modenise, that all.  Why  that the questions? the Next generation not wishing to take over is one of them,  F&B is a tough, very tough line.  Frankly some Food Eateries have been spoiled due o the next generation zeal for changes.    

This No Name Shack serve up a Delicious Loh Mee, for Saturday and Sunday Only weekly and at times may be close for Months at a time.  For information is manned by a old couple with another old man handling the drinks.

As with Butterworth a Bottle of Vinegar is on the table for you to adjust the taste.  Adds on are available for you to customise your loh mee.   

I have to say this,  Try this place out, while you can

Taman Inderawasih - Hakka Mee & Chinese Nasi Lemak Bungkus

This is the Place for Hakka Mee for Butterworth Folks, however Taman Inderawasih is actually just accross the Prai River from Butterworth Proper.  Hakka Mee is a not so well know Hawker Food, I see it as a early Want Tan Mee,  ie with out the black sauce, wan tan, char siew, but with a topping of Mince Pork

Xin Fung Kopi Tiam is a busy bustling kopitaim, with many verity of Chinese Hawker food to choose from,  A local recommended, The Hakka Mee, and  the Nasi Lemak Bungkus Chinese Style @ the Kuih stall was my selection.

Max Gourmet, A Tim Sum Place at Penang Walk 

At Penang Walk, Komtar (with direct street access) at the Foot of the stairs that leads to The Top lies Max Gourmet a restaurant which serve Tim Sum, for Breakfast and for Lunch.  First, You grab a table, order your tea, and noodles if you want then you head over to the counter to select your tim sum.     

There are many Tim Sum Places near Komtar, I find that Max Gourmet is one of the better ones, & it is not so hectic, The Wu Kok comes highly recommended. 

For Parking one can park at Komtar / Prangin Mall / 1st Avernue Parking Areas,  So parking is not a problem.  Its location is near Parkson Supermarket Ground Floor

Penang Chendol

The most famous Penang Chendol stall, is a particular stall Off Penang Road (Jalan Keng Kwee), the other stall does not get the tsunami of customers, this popular one does, that is if you do not mind waiting in line (which on the wrong day can be more then 50 customers – like ants heading towards sugar ), and eating your chendol standing up, inches form motorbikes , car rushing by, to savory the “real! “ ambiance. 

Me,  I am more in to creature comfort, safety, and convenience.  I recommend this place, a branch of the original, at Atrium A, Prangin Mall,  Just 200 meters away.

 

At time you will be able to order add on,  eg Durian etc to be place in the chendol 

At Atrium A, just located Subway Sandwich, & then walk behind, This little Kiosk, it’s much safer, convenient parking, air con, less q, though slightly higher in price, and just as good.  

Oh Yes,  Chendol is basically Pandan (Screwpine) flavored rice "worms" jelly drown in palm sugar, coconut milk and shaven ice, some stall may have additional items like red bean, sago pearls etc .....    

Photos of Penang Ferry

Penang Ferry is currently the shortest way to access to Penang Island from Butterworth by,  It’s the preferred way for those taking the Express Bus from Butterworth Sentral and via Train at the KTM Station.

Connecting Pengkalan Raja Tun Uda (George Town) to Pengkalan Sultan Abdul Halim in Butterworth. The Journey is approx. 3.2 kilometers,  Many tourist will take the short ride over to experience this unique mode of transportation.

For Vehicles,  one can take either of the Penang Bridge,  however the closest distance is again Via the Ferry.  However due to the frequency of the ferry,  Journey time may actually be longer.

ND Nasi Kandar.

Was Nasi Kandar created in Penang?  Originally is was sold by sellers who use sticks to carry baskets of food all around town, so actually Nasi Kandar stand for carried rice........ so the story goes ........

What ever the story goes, Nasi Kandar is a "Addictive" dish of rice with curry, for most the rice must be flooded with curry and let it "soak" in to impart flavor. So Tapau or to Pack will be a good option.

Some Nasi Kandar stalls have a following,  the Famous Line Clear Nasi Kandar (lane at Penang Road) is one of them, and the Nasi Kandar Beratur (meaning line up)next to the Masjid Kapitan Keling,  which open late at night (11pm) is another one.  Please note,  you do have to line up, may be up to a hour or more.

Well what about the folks in Butterworth?  Well they also have a Nasi Kandar Beratur as well, which also opens 11pm,  Its call Nasi Kandar Pokok Kepetang ....   So would you fancy lining up for at least 30 min?  Not Me.  So I get my "fix" at another nasi kandar just a few feet away.

ND Nasi Kandar opens earlier at around 7pm,  Located just beside OUB Bank or opposite TM Point Building, its has a Open Air Stall ambiance,  with table and chairs along OUB walk way, and roadside car park.  Drive along Jalan Bagan Luar till after the Padang and when you see OUB bank turn in.

Food Choices are as normal, and the food is at par with other stalls, and you don't have to wait much ......  

Oh yes. for those who won't mind waiting,  Nasi Kandar Pokok Kepetang is at the same location,  opens at 11pm.
