Sinn Tatt Food Center, Raja Uda Butterworth

Sinn Tatt Food Center is a collection of chinese roadside hawker stalls, house under a roof at the side of Jalan Raja Uda (North Bound). The Stalls will start to open from the afternoon till night. 

I call it a food center, not a food court as the way it is organised, into a few groups, with their own opening times, seating area, and seemingly "walled" off from the other groups.   

I do like the Char Koey Teow, (that opens from around 2pm till around 8pm or Sold off) here, which is one of the 3 stalls around (the other open later), Poach Chicken with Rice or Koey Teow is another popular stall from 4pm and a recent find is the Poh Pieh, (Not Fried Penang Spring Rolls) which usually have a que.  This Stall opens after 7pm .   Other Stalls offering a verity of Penang Favorites can be found.  As they take turns for their Off Day, you can be sure there will be stalls open dail here.

Fried Dough / Ham Chim Peng stall.  (Opens from 2pm) 

This Collections of Food Stall fronts a row of Shops, which opens at the same time,  so beside eating one can also do some shopping as well as some sightseeing.

Aquarium Shop just beside the Food Center 

Located right at the back is the "Newly" built Goddess of Mercy Temple, Raja Uda, Butterworth. so do drop by and walk around this beautifully lit up tourist site. 

You can WAZE your self here as Sinn Tatt Food Garden is just beside Mr DIY, Raja Uda,  I would recommend that you park along the side roads near the Temple / Behind Mr DIY shop. 

The Food Hawkers of Apollo Market.

The most popular among all the Markets at Butterworth, is the infamous Apollo Market along Jln Raja Uda, despite it being un-organised, cluttered, messy, and semi "Open Air".  This Market certainly have a character of its own.

There is the Sri Uda Market, Huge Bagan Ajam Market, Taman Bagan Market, Sri Bandar Market all around Butterworth town to cater for the population, but its to the Apollo Market if you want to find every thing in one place and to enjoy the shopping with a "festive" atmosphere.

Besides this usual vegetables, fish & meat,  there also a huge collection of Street Food as Street Peddlers of a large variety of useful and not so useful day to day requirements, among the center market area, the resounding shop house, and the terrace & double story house that spread out a few hundred of meters.

Many tasty food can be found here, some hawkers so busy that one have to line up for some time like this we kok seller (link here) (freshly made and deep fried right infront of you).  some you can enjoy it there at the prepared open air tables, kopi tiams or the central food court and some you can packed for your meals later own.

this pre Chinese New Year Season,  extra traders set up shop, selling Chinese New Year Necessities, such as apparels, decorative items.

Parking can be obtain along the many side roads, but do go early, as there are limited places avail.  Opens from 7am onwards and wind down from 10am onwards.  

Who Bryan Restaurant, Teras Jaya, Off Raja Uda Butterworth

 Pork Burger  

Who Bryan was setup a few years back, as a western food, & drinking outlet at Teras Jaya Commercial / Industrial area, off Jalan Raja Uda.  (Around Econsave Raja Uda - see map for the coordinates and exact location) .

From what i understand, they had a few outlets, Penang Road, and in Ayer Itam @ Four Season,  but when i drive around i did not notice them. 

Cheese Scallops

The food at this outlet, tend to lean towards the "New type" of Western food where presentation outweigh the importance of "tasty" food.  Having said that 3 years ago they use to have a very extensive menu but has revised it down, however food here is presented like art pieces, but with less "gadgets".   

Atmosphere in this place has the “watering hole” outlet atmosphere, their "outside the restaurant" terrace table (smoking – non aircon) is dark, in the restaurant proper itself, the table top were lit up, while the surrounding is quite dim.

It’s was a quite night when we drop by for dinner, at 7.30pm practically the only customers when we entered,  We ordered the Chezy Chicken, the Pork Burger and to share we had the Cheese Scallop.  Presentation was as i said look like art
. 

Chezy Chicken

Service was attentive and fast.(we were the only table after all)  We have no comments on their food other then my "usual" complaint that is  Bland, due to my taste buds. Salt. Pepper and Tabasco Sauce was requested for and received, nor was it outstanding in terms of taste. Food pricing is pretty reasonable comparing to other restaurant of similar classs, however portion was also a tad smaller.    RM18/- for the chicken,  Pork Burger was RM16.  I do miss their cake especially the durian cake as sadly no cakes was available on this day (None was displayed) 

Parking is available around,  (Street Parking)    Address Below,   Map with Coord Below

Tim Sum at Nibong Tebal, Penang (Mainland) - Perak Border

Kee Teik Jai Tim Sum is Practically the only choice for Yum Cha Style Tim Sum in Southen Nibong Tebal Area, its located practically right on the Border of Penang and Perak.  While it may be the only place for Tim Sum, the food here is tasty and they are quite innovative as well.  One of their specialty is what i would describe as a Oat coated Sandwich with Pandan Kaya Filling.      

Location is a long a row of shop houses,  (see map for coordinates, in a corner shop lot,  along the federal road heading south from Nibong Tebal.  This will be a good stop for early morning travelers seeking a more subtensial bite.

Mak Ee Pastries, Branch at Xin Fen Kopi Tiam

Mak Ee Pastrys is one of those Old Heritage Penang Food that has been revamp and given a updated and Modern Image while retaining the Heritage and the Old Taste  (Kochabe).  One have to say they it have done a pretty good job, in terms of outlets (Kiosk type at Inderawasih, SPT), and taste, if the chicken curry puff i have is any indication.  crisp, aromatic, flavorful, not one of those no taste food you find now a days
