Jetty Food Court Char Koey Teow


Jetty Food Court Char Koey Teow

Char Koey Teow @ Jetty Food Court formally know as CF food court.  (49-F Pengkalan Weld)    
  


The Char Koey Teow here is definitely up to Penang Island Standard (Open Lunch till dinner – close Wednesday) and they will custom it to your liking. 

I do not patronize this place much as finding a parking here is very difficult, even if you are willing to pay for it, which basically why I took stroll here from the Ferry Terminal after a  Ferry Trip From Butterworth.   


They will prepare the Char Koey Teow with Duck Egg when cooking. Frankly while some purist and CKT fans prefer using duck eggs for its “superior aroma”,  I just cannot feel the difference.

Jade Palace Chinese Restaurant

Jade Palace is one of these old time Chinese Restaurant that specialise in Wedding Banquets.  They have a number of branches around,  We went to their Choo Plaza HQ? 3rd Floor located along Jalan Abu Siti at George Town just behind Red Rock Hotel. 

If you go on the right day and time (ie when there is no Chinese Banquet on going) you can have the entire restaurant to yourself, and do follow the recommendation of the order taker, he/she will ensure you have the best experience. 

This time around we ordered.

Braised Homemade Tauhu with Mince Meat


All Superb …..

Tanjung Bungah Market Chicken Rice

Highlighting some of the Good Stalls at Tanjung Bungah Wet Market Food Court. 

Hock Chicken Rice is one of the Better ones around actually, One that I will actually travel to, out of the way for a meal here. I have been eating this chicken rice (from its original shop) at the junction of Jln Tg Bungah / Jln Chee Seng, and then this seller branching off to a Kopi Tiam @ Jalan Concord and then to its current location at the Market. 

What make it one of my favorites?  The Soup Serve is superb, the poach chicken is not dry, rice is full of natural flavors (not margarine) 

Do note that there are 2 chicken rice stall,  Hock Chicken Rice is a Corner Unit at the Middle Section of the Food Court.  they also do not open early.  

Drop by for an Early Lunch, as they may sell out fast.       

See Main Post Here for Tg Bungah Market Location.




Tanjung Bungah Market Food Court Hokkien Mee (Soup)


Tanjung Bungah Market Hokkien Mee Soup 

Highlighting some of the Good Stalls at Tanjung Bungah Wet Market Food Court. 

There are some who claims this Hokkien Mee Soup is among the very best in Penang,  Recently transplanted / relocated to this food court,  this stall have years of history behind them.  Do note there are 2 hokkien mee stalls currently at this place,  one is at the center portion of the food court and the other is at the furthest section away from the market proper (the quietest part) , and next to a Juice Stall. 

Well how good is this?  Definitely one of the better HKM stalls around penang, and i would have to say the best in Tanjung Bungah area,  its also a matter of taste and what you like to find in the dish.  Its my go to alternative when my favorite CKT stall at the market is close.  CKT wins anytime. 

Location :  Stall is located in the 3rd Section of the Food court, which is the furthers away from the market ,  See Main Post Here for Tg Bungah Market Location.

Lye Lye Food Court.


Roast Pork (Siew Bak) at Lye Lye Food Court

Lye Lye Food Court @ Jalan Terengganu

In Waze as Pusat Makanan Lye Lye

Lye Lye Food Court, located at Jalan Terengganu is a large food court, at the outskirt of George Town, 

While it is open the whole day, its main business is during Dinner Time, what they have going for them in this very popular food court is, 1) has a decent size parking at the back, and there are sidelanes behind to cope with the overflow.  2) A decent selection of Good Food, actually everything here is good to excellent. 3) location, while its off the main road, its still in a very central location, with housing, schools all around.  4) due to its construction, its alfresco concept with fans. 


This is one of my favourite eating places, for all the reasons above & its large enough to find “empty” tables fairly quickly, even though non of the stalls are my favourite. 

So what will enjoy here? first up is a plate of Delicious Succulent Roast Pork, among the best in Penang, with Crispy Skin. 


Next is usually the wan tan noodles,  I will order the broad noodles, and have them preparing it “very dry”, which they do well. 


Another is the Mix Rice, what Malaysia without rice dish somewhere. 


Pizza here is a Favorite of my Daughters, nothing fancy, just normal street food pizza,  I find it personally too sweet, but their business is good.


Oh Chen, Oyster Omelette but Thai Style, serve with some lime.

Apologies forgotten to screen shot the location map, however you can find this place on Waze,  Pusat Makanan Lye Lye.

Tanjung Bungah Market Food Court


Tanjung Bungah Market Food court use to be one of my regular place for breakfast those days when I was staying in the area(open mainly for breakfast other then pasar malam night) with most food selling out by lunch, thought there are a few that specialise meals for lunch time.  Overall, after the recent refurbishments by the MBPP, more stalls ie (more verity) has open up, giving the diners more choice at reasonable rates. 



The food court houses around 50 stalls, in 3 separate areas,   mostly selling Chinese Penang Favourites, however other type of food is also available, and most of them are in the upper bracket in terms of taste.  Top on my list here is the Char Koey Teow (Corner Shop), Chee Cheong Fun (Pg Style) as well as the HK Chee Cheong Fun,  Hokkian Mee - Penang Hokkian Mee ) and  Chicken Rice (Corner Shop) is open for late breakfast and early lunch.  




Most days there is also a Mini Pasar Pagi, selling cloths, general necessities, trinkets, around the food court and the market lobby area in the Mornings.  If not mistaken there is a hall on level 1 as well for those who require event space. I also notice a number of tour guides bringing in tourist for a walkaround the market.

Double Good Restaurant, Tanjung Bungah


Double Good Restaurant, Tanjung Bungah

We were back at Tanjung Bungah for some chu char at a Aircondition Restaurant (Chain I believe) by the name of Double Good. 

Located near Maybank Tanjung Bungah, near the junction of Jalan Lembah Permai and Jalan Tanjung Bungah, its located at a shoplot next to Pizza Hut.  Parking is certainly convenient in the evening despite the many food outlets, and the nearby apartment blocks. 


We had the Set B, which consists of a Steam Teowchew Style Seabass, Special Tauhu, Sharkfin in Omelette, Beijing Style Pork Ribs, Kailan Prepared two ways, and the Indonesian prawns in claypot. 


 Well, what stood out for me was the Indonesian Prawns in claypot, which is basically a fancy name of saying Dry Curry Prawns,  this dish was flavourful and have a nice mild punch. I ended up scraping out the claypot for the sauce.         


Pricy wise, this restaurant is definitely in the Air-condition Price Category
