Famous Penang Charcoal-Fried Char Koay Teow @ Lengkok Burma, Penang

Description
Craving for a really good plate of Penang Char Koay Teow (CKT)?  You can find CKT in almost any hawker place (street stalls) in Penang but this place has the best CKT  and is a must-go, if you are a CKT fan.   The location is quite hidden and more commonly known to only the local residents.   This uncle has been operating his CKT stall in the same spot for the last 20+ years, and is still using a charcoal stove and frying in small portion at a time to ensure that the Koay Teows (flat noodles) are properly fried.   His CKT is always served on a banana leaf which enhances the aroma.   The wait can sometimes take a while but his CKT is worth waiting for.

Handcrafted “Dim Sum”@ Jin Yi Restaurant Dim Sum, 3054 Jalan Kampung Baru, Taman Kljang , Bukit Mertajam

Description
A “family-run” dim-sum restaurant that is worth a visit. The first thing that struck me when I walked into the restaurant was the cleanliness of the place which is a rarity in such kind of set-up.

According to the owner, Mr. Ooi, the dim-sums are handmade by his son. My favourites were the eggplant, “ha-kaw”and deep fried yam fritter. Although the dim-sum selection was not extraordinary, the taste and texture of the dough, dumpling skin and filling were pretty well done and tasted good.  They have the original dim sum taste👍🏻. I would definitely have to go back to check out the other selections, and I recommend that you too give this place a try.
