Cari Makan @ Penang - CKT and CCF

You must be wondering what is CKT and CCF ? CKT is Char Keoy Teow (fried noodles with eggs and cockles ) and CCF is Chee Cheong Fun (Rice thick noodles rolls with prawn paste)

These are two popular food that you can get almost everywhere in Penang island. I know my friend Klang Kia is going to drool over these two food. He told me to think of him crying when I ate CKT and CCF. Sorry dude, i was not able to pack the food back from Penang but i managed to capture the image with my Nikon D70.

This is a Chinese Style CKT that you can find it @ Lai Lai food court Ayer Itam on the way to Penang hill. The price is reasonable but the taste is so so only. Taste a bit salty.

I was surprised when this CKT was served. It was not dry, it came with the sauce. This is a Malay style of CKT @ the base of Penang Hill, a small restaurant besides the cable car station. The taste was okay but it's really different from the normal CKT we had.

You can find this CCF @ BT Food court, Burmah Road, two blocks away from Tune Hotel, just besides the Wesley Methodists Church. The CCF is not as great as the one in New World Park. The sauce was a bit sweeter.

Anyway, the CKT and CCF were not listed in any Food brochure that prepared by the Tourism board of Penang... Yup! Penang Tourism Board has come out a list of Penang food and printed its location and time in a brochure that you could get it from any tourist information center. Just get one and you could go and cari cari makan @ Penang.

On getting up the hill for Splendid View

Last Saturday, we took a cable car up to a place that have the most splendid view in Penang... Anyone know where is this place that you could see the whole panoramic view of Penang? Yup~ It's the Penang Hill.

Me: Dude, this is the first time to go up... Just wanna to let you know. Don't expect too much eh~

Friend: Why?

Me: Up there nothing much. You are able to see the whole Penang view, a few old hotels, one indian temple, one mosque. That's all.

Friend: Is it? Okie

Me: Yup... we just need about the most 3 hours to finish everything.

Went to buy the ticket and off we went up the hill...

Owning a Nikon 18-200mm zoom lens, i managed to take a closer shots of Malaysia longest Bridge from the top of the hill. Errrr.... whenever i saw the Penang Bridge, first thing comes to my mind... Massive Jam... hehehe... with the 3rd lane now, it actually easy the traffic a bit... :)

Cari Makan @ Penang #1 - Beef Noodles

I bet lots of people just jealous that i went to Penang while they need to work. So they cried in KL which made Penang rained since i arrived... Mother nature was crying too *sob sob*

I was wondering whether i should go for a heritage walk or not... but at the end i went... Yes! i went with an umbrella. Guess what? I found out the way to use the CAT system in Penang downtown. What is CAT? they will be another post. Stay tune eh~

Okay back to my cari makan @ Penang posts... i was wondering around the heritage site and came across the Sri Weld Food Court. I remembered my sister and uncle told me there is a hawker selling nice beef noodles, the beef noodle there was even better than the one opposite the Beach Street Fire station. So i dropped by and tried...

I would give the beef noodles a *Two Thumbs Up*, go and tried it. They opened from Monday - Friday 10:30am-4pm @ Sri Weld Food Court, Beach Street.

I'm back to Metropolitan KL

So, are you hungry now?

Cut your head...

Few weeks back, the P1 WiMax came out a series of advertisement on "Cut Already?"

English version

Chinese Version

When i was driving yesterday evening, i came across this radio ad from Streamyx which counter the tag line of P1 WiMax... unfortunately i could not get the English version. Errrr... maybe they don't even have the English version yet... :p

Now, is it true that they provide better services and value for money? I think the consumers really have to make a decision then... So what would you say... "Cut or Not Cut"?
