Back to Ah Chong Canteen for some seafood

 

Back to Ah Chong Canteen (Beach Front, Non Aircon Seafood @ Pantai Bersih Butterworth)

We drop by at Ah Chong Canteen (In Waze as Restaurant Nelayan Ah Chong, our “only” seafood place at Pantai Bersih, Butterworth, for some crabs. 

We had crabs done 2 style, With Curry Leafs as well as Baked, as well as Marmite Chicken, Clayport Seafood, Lala, and Kailan, and Chicken Satay for me.  ( I don’t enjoy Seafood)    Total damage around RM250/- 

What I really like about this place is,

1)      Simple Unpretentious set up,  May be a bit “rough” for others

2)      The Beautiful view,  best view just before sunset. 

3)      The Unpretentious and Simple food, not overly decorated.

Delicious Lamb Soup (Indian Style) in Butterworth

Delicious Lamb Soup Indian Style in Butterworth. 

One of the Best lamb soup, I ever had, is in this Food Court at Chai Leng Park.  One can have this with Roti Banggali or with Rice, or even a Nasi Lemak sold by the same stall. 

Located at Great Wellesley Food court,  this Lamb soup Stall is open at night.  Definitely one of the better one around.  This Curry style soup is thick and full of spices and is a treat especially on a cold rainy evening.

My Selection .....  

There was this restaurant (Jln Raja Uda)  that open last year, looks very nice , shiny, air condition, that made a hit and impact in the “Economy Rice” market with their 2 shoplots being full and a long line of diners out of the door waiting till 9pm plus, and was like that for months

I hear that their speciality is Pork Trotters, and they dish up like 50 plus or more dish every meal.   After they open up another 3 outlets, BM, George Town, and Chai Leng Park, did the crazy que diminish, and I finally got a chance to try it out.

 Fact

1.        Pork Trotters is their Special Dish

2.       Yes  Many Many Dish are available for your choice

3.       Free Chinese Tea Is Provided 

4.       Fully Air Conditioned

Verdict ?  :  Well, nice interesting concept of the Economy Rice,  actually reminds me of Sungai Wang Plaza (KL) Economy Rice lay out, except it has much better ambiance, air-condition, well laid out and so on.  There are many those who will like it, and they will be perfectly right to do so.  Personally speaking though I may drop by very occasionally.     

Chung Seng Tim Sum, Chai Leng Park

Our Selection of Tim Sum for the Breakfast

Many Verities of Steam and Fried Tim Sum are available, its impossible for you to try all of it out in one day though we certainly tried.  There are some parking lots right in front, other then that street parking.  

Price wise its comparable with other Air condition Tim Sum place in the Area.  Location Map, Address are in the Photo Below  

Verdict :  Not too bad,

Tai Lok Mee, KL Style Hokkian Mee in Chai Leng Park

KL Style Fried Hokkien Noodles are not so easy to find up north in Penang, (Noodles come imported from KL) what more a stall that can prepare it well. 

So what is KL Hokkien Mee?  The noodles are bigger, fatter, and its cook in lard (Pork fat) oll and comes loaded with crispy pork crutons (Deep Fried Pork Lardons)  and sambal belachan, and lots of dark soya sauce. 

Normally this stall at Restaurant Green Planet along the beginning of the one way Wai Seik Kai of Chai Leng Par, Perai (they have their own premises), Leboh Kurau 5 (See Map for coordinates and location) is usually jam pack, however this fine night its was a slow night, which give me a chance to try it out without having to que for some time.  

other noodle dish is also avaliable.  

Verdict:  Just like its done in KL,  Tasty enough

Great Wellesley Food Court

Great Wellesley Food Court is a very popular food court located at Chai Leng Park Prai,  Its only open at night. They have their own parking which cost RM2 per entry or you can op to park on the street which is free unless you stumble across a jaga kereta.

Usually they will be packed by around 8pm.  However the turn over is fast, just wait a while and you will secure a table.  You can say that all the hawkers located here are of a better standard then most of others in the Area.

Among the Good stuffs here to my taste buds are the Satay, the Koey Chap, the Oyster omelette.  Duck Meat Koey Teow Thng (first from left) Picture above, the Otak Otak, (Penang Steam Spicy Fish & Egg Custard wrapped in Banana Leaf  (center pic above)).

Teik Heng Restaurant - Old School Tim Sum Chai Leng Park

This Sunday i decided to head for Chai Leng Park for some Tim Sum at Teik Heng Restaurant, which is located next to the Chai Leng Park Market.  Though Its a congested commercial area, there is plenty of parking if you do not mind walking.

Our Selection of Tim Sum!  12 plates,  

Verdict Pretty Good,  of course there are some hits and misses, but overall we enjoyed all the food,  I do find that the pieces here are on the smaller side

Total for all of this is Below RM40 including Chinese Tea 

  

The Shop is located at Lebuh Kurau 2, hidden by traders setting up shop all around it.  Coord is on top of the Map  

Right infront of the Shop is their main display area with a steamer making sure all the tim sum is serve pipeing hot,  You can select your tim sum here, or the staff will bring around trays of goodies.  The Staff here are very friendly. When Paying the bill we were entertained by the Human Talking Calculating Machine.  I just cannot keep up with the speed of prices being said and tally up.  :)

The Shop is surrounded by stalls selling Cloths, fruits and wood amulets and bracelets.  Some of the Wooden amulets are made with Raja Kayu, supposedly with mythical properties.  This wood is very special as it can be identify using a light, which when shine from the back, you will see a red light on the wood surface!  Extremely difficult to be cut as well.
