Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant

There are a lot of Indian restuarant along Penang Street, Georgetown. Some are vegetarian some are not.

One of my favourite is the newly renovated Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant. Not to have vegetarian food, but to get my dose of Madras coffee for RM1.20 which taste and had better value than the local kopitiam, Starbucks or CoffeeBean.

Hokkien mee @ Ah Beng

Hokkien mee @ Ah Beng, originally uploaded by See Teck.

One of my favourite Penang dish is hokkien mee (known as Prawn mee in KL). Of all the places that i've tried, i like the most is from the Ah Beng shop located at Wisma KGN, Weld Quay, Georgetown. Costing only RM3.00 per bowl.

The speciality of this hokkien mee is the soup i.e beside the normal prawn shell, they also added in the pig bones as stock for the soup!

I normally will clean up the whole bowl including the soup.

In view of the high colestrol, i'm restricting myself to 1 visit per month!

The Salmon teriyaki cost me RM28.00, a bit pricey for Penang standard but I am not complaning due to the good ambience of the restaurant. However, my complain is that the salmon fish is a bit small!
