Sin Kah Pin 新嘉賓

After a violent movie last Saturday night with a drizzling rain dropping down to our car… we both want something warmth.

The best is of course Bak Kut Teh… but none of us are into soupy mood. So, hubby brought me to this place which is near to Penang famous God of Mercy Temple. One of those streets that is opposite the temple, if am not mistaken is China Street.

Only 2 shops were bright and with a few tables of customers having their meal. We entered one of the shop named Sin Kah Pin (新嘉賓). Hubby asked me did he bring me here for dinner during our courtship, and I was like, ‘huh, did you?’

We found a table and sat down, and have our order – Char Hor Fun & Hokkien Char.

Wherever you go, these are the 2 that you would like to try out, and that’s to see how good is the chef in preparing them.

First hubby order Char Hor Fun for 2 persons, when it serves I told hubby better get another noodle, don’t think that will fill up his starving stomach. True enough, a plate of Char Hor Fun didn’t help.

So, another plate of Hokkien Char was placed an order.

Take a look at this Char Hor Fun…. Seriously, hard to find good Char Hor Fun in Penang, ever since I had a good one in Ipoh Hoong Tho, I can’t find any good one in Penang, even the one that Penang Tua Pui recommended in Chai Leng Park too not as good as Hoong Tho. As mostly Penang will fried the flat noodle and put it aside or in a warmer then only they will cook the sauce. Eventually that made the Char Hor Fun a bit tasteless.

But this stall I can tell you that it’s full of Wok Hei.

But comparatively with Hokkien Char, Hokkien Char is a bit oily. I supposed they have to put more oil to fry noodles.

Of course, it isn’t that bad in taste too…

Seriously, we both have a good dinner though is something simple. Not a bad place to just go for simple noodle. The stall is man from 6pm till late at night. Apart from this stall, you can get other side dish like Satay. We both didn’t order any due to bad sore throat.

I know I’ll come back again for this Char Hor Fun. Oh yes, if am not mistaken, the stall name is 利記. Char Hor Fun, Yee Foo Mee, Hokkien Char per plate is RM3-50, egg added is RM0-50. You can also add more ingredients if you like, price will be charged accordingly.
