O Chean!!!

O Chean (oyster omelette) is Penang famous delicacy. Although you may get it in many places, but i would say the Penang's has it speciality. Erm, is it their oyster bigger and juicer? Erm... Maybe... I say special then special la, don't push me a!

Ok, this 2 stalls are famous, according to a blog that i read recently online (forgot who the blogger is, paise). The 1st shop is Seng Thor (成都) Coffee Shop at the junction of Carnarvon Road and Kimberly Street. Carnarvon road is also known as "coffin street" and the landmark of Kimberly Street is the biggest "colok" shop i never seen in other states, "Bee Chin Heong".



The next one will be "Bee San Coffee Shop" along Jalan Air Itam, near the "Chung Ling Secondary School" (also very near to Kek Lok Si and Bukit Bendera).



This 2 stalls are actually run by Brothers (Lim's brothers). Their oyster omelette is more to Malacca style, where they put "sambal" to fry along with the egg, but their oyster is far more bigger than Malacca's. Surprisingly their "tepung" (薯粉) are very less, unlike what we have at other stall, you can actually taste the lovely egg and oyster.



So, between this 2 stalls, whose better? I will say "Bee San" at Jalan Air Itam. Thumbs up! For your info, the O Chean stalls in "Seng Thor" start in the afternoon, while "Bee San" at night.

Dim Sum!!!

Ok, now everybody know our convocation is coming, 17 August 2008. It's a big day, your parents are coming, then you start to get panic. Erm, except Penangite.

Panic bout what? What? Are you kidding? Don't ask me such a silly question! Of course where should we bring our parents go to have Penang local famous food! Alright, i know many of you are now in overseas, or no longer in Penang, so for this few weeks, i will review some of the so-call famous "makan" place.

Our first destination, Dim Sum house in Jalan Anson. This place is famous because they have a wide variety of Dim Sum, and most importantly, they are cheap!



The place is damn damn crowded (i went on 10am Sunday). So bear in mind, be an early bird!



I had ordered 8 type of Dim Sum, just for 2 person. Ok, it's too much for 2 people, i just need to "dabao" some of them. Money spent, RM 19.20 nett.



As a conclusion, if your time is tide, you may not want to go Dim Sum House to have your breakfast. The reason is simple, the Dim Sum is average, Pekaka Dim Sum seems better than it.
