Penang - Food Hunting Trip (Day 3)

-
Kedai Kopi Genting Cafe has moved to a neighboring area, where it now operates as First Genting Cafe. The cafe is approximately 6.3km from Sunway Hotel, Georgetown (Grab fare - RM 12). I've recently grown to enjoy their chee cheong fun (steamed flat rice noodles), but sadly, by the time we got there at midday, they were all sold out. I decided to try their asam laksa, but it was not as flavourful as the old stall. My partner ordered the roasted pork and chicken rice. The chicken rice is soft and fluffy, but the chicken itself is soft and mushy. There's a stall selling prawn paste, and my partner bought two bottles to take home.

Our next stop is Nasi Kandar Sulaiman. We took a Grab ride from First Genting Cafe to Nasi Kandar Sulaiman, which is around 3.9km away (Grab fare - RM 10). When we arrived about 1pm, there was already a big line outside the restaurant, and we waited for almost 30 minutes. They have a system in place that only allows you to be seated once you order your food. We shared a plate of nasi kandar with fried chicken, egg and beef. Their fried chicken is moist and tender. Beef is also tender, but I'm not a big fan of the way it's cooked. Besides that, the rice was slightly undercooked. I had a glass of iced lemon tea. It's refreshing and not too sweet. It would be great if they added more ice cubes. After that, we took a Grab ride back to our hotel (Grab fare - RM 6).

(Total bill - RM 13.80)

That night, we met our supplier for dinner at Chinmi Stone Pot Fish Restaurant. The restaurant is located in Tanjung Tokong, approximately 6.5km from the Sunway Hotel, Georgetown (Grab fare - RM 21). Overall, the food is nice, except for the vermicelli with shrimp, which is slightly salty and greasy. One of my favourite dishes is the Putian fried rice vermicelli. The rice vermicelli is soft, flavourful and chewy.

After dinner, our supplier decided to bring us to this place called Shill 90's. Outside, the place appears run-down. However, once inside, the area is spacious and lively with open-air seating. It's a great place to hang out with friends for drinks and finger food. There's a live band and it's a pet-friendly place.

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

-
Image
We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
