Ah Wang Cafe (Toast Bread and Eggs)

-
Ah Wang Cafe
The Entrance





I recently discovered this new coffee shop stall in the Tanjung Bungah area, and it was pretty hard to find as it was quite hidden within the flats surrounding it. The coffee shop is called Ah Wang Cafe and is a small Hainanese owned stall that only serves Eggs and Toast and drinks, but don't let it's small exterior put you off your appetite, this stall serves some of the best eggs and toast on the island.

The 3 main types of bread that are sold - Roti Kaya, Roti Butter, and lastly Roti Kahwin. Roti Kaya means bread spread with kaya (coconut jam), Roti Butter is bread spread with butter while Roti Kahwin means bread spread with both butter and kaya. Fun fact, Kahwin means marriage in Bahasa Melayu, therefore Roti Kahwin is referring to the marriage between butter and kaya.

I ordered all 3 dishes with a side of half boiled eggs, so that i could sample each one of them. I tried the Roti Butter first, and what surprised me was the fragrance of the toasted bread, the bread used here is Benggali bread, and therefore it's crust had that additional charred taste which complimented the butter, furthermore the bread was super crunchy and tasted even better when dipped in the half boiled eggs.


Roti Kaya
I then tried the Roti Kaya, the bread was also the same as before, but the kaya was exceptionally good. The kaya which is homemade by the way, wasn't too sweet and it had a very rich coconut flavor that wasn't too overpowering. Needless to say, the sweetness of the Kaya and the faint hint of bitterness of the bread crust made a perfect combo. The Roti Kahwin i tried was also very delicious, the sweetness of the kaya paired perfectly with butter and it was truly a match made in heaven (pun intended). I heartily recommend everyone to dip their bread in half boiled eggs. If you are a coffee lover, you should really try out their Kopi- O (Black Coffee), because it's really thick and rich, as Hainanese people really take their coffee seriously and the owner is no exception.

The stall also sells Bengali bread and their special homemade kaya so feel free to bring them back home to share with your family and friends!


TLDR:
Conclusion: The bread and kaya were really amazing!

Best Jawa Mee in Penang!

-

Hi guys, I know it's been like over a month or so since i last wrote my first post and as you all probably would have guessed, I've been putting it off cause I've been procrastinating like hell. Since I'm now actually motivated to write something, let's cut the crap and start with my first food review in Penang. :) So first of all this review is gonna be about Jawa Mee. In case you all don't know what Jawa Mee is, it's basically alkaline noodles stir-fried with eggs ,tofu, potatoes with a garnish of a prawn fritter of some kind OR   the wet version which comes with the same ingredients but served in a thick tomato broth and minus the stir-fry. Personally i prefer the dry-version cause it tastes kinda like Mee Goreng which i love(The wet-version is also nice!) OK. so now with the intro done , let's get this review started!

Wan Tan Mee at Chee Meng Cafe

The outside view of the cafe Chee Meng Cafe is located at Argyll Road and they only serve 1 stall Wan Tan Mee. According to the owner, the noodles are handmade fresh each day and they are usually sold out by noon. The cafe is located right opposite a Caltex petrol station so it's not that hard to spot it. As a side note,Wan Tan means dumplings and Mee means noodles, so Wan Tan Mee literally means dumpling noodles, Wan Tan Mee The Wan Tan served by the stall tasted ok but it lacked a wow factor, but the noodles on the other hand were really springy and the texture was really nice to chew on. Furthermore, the sauce that came with the noodles had a certain lard aroma that was really fragrant but at the same time not being too overpowering. The stall also sells baby Bak Choy as a side dish, I'm not really a fan of Bak Choy, but the vegetables were cooked just right and they had a crispy sort of crunch to it making every bite feel satisfying with each munch. Wan Tan ...

Gemas Road Roti Canai

Before we start, there are a few Malaysian terms i must explain, lest some non-Malaysian readers get confused. Roti Canai - Indian- influenced flatbread dish Kuah - The gravy that you eat with your food, usually curry or dal Banjir - It means flood in english, but in this case it's referring to drenching your meal with gravy Telur Mata - Egg fried sunny side up The Roti Canai Stall Roti Canai, the most basic of all Malaysian food, you can tell whether a shop is good just by trying out their Roti Canai. When I eat Roti Canai, there are 2 factors that I usually take into account that contribute to their overall tastiness, the first thing is the Roti Canai itself and the second is the "kuah" or curry that comes with it. There are dozens of types of Roti Canai - Roti Telur, Roti Tampal, Roti Tisu, Roti Beckham, but to keep things simple the most basic kind of Roti is just Roti Kosong whcih means just plain old Roti with no extras. The Menu As you can...
