BEST Char Siu Mee I’ve ever had
Sui Gaw
The best char siu mee I’ve ever had. Yep, a bold statement. Recalled eating that bowl of bbq pork & noodles; each bite sent surges of pure happiness. It was a special meal shared with my dad and uncle.

After relaxing a bit at the hotel, we were finally ready to take on the next stop of our food adventure. I remember coming to Red Garden many years ago and I’m happy to note, it’s just as good as before. We started inspecting each stall as soon as we walked in, determining what we should order. I believe as they’ve done this so many times before, they all knew what should/should not be ordered. Being in a food inspecting trance, we really didn’t talk with each other much. Amazing that we somehow had no duplicate orders! As we all sat down, we probably waited no more than 5-10 minutes before the food started coming one after another (my inner fat kid was so happy).
The skate wing had a proper sear, was well seasoned, and quite fresh; cooking on top of the banana added another dimension of flavor as it gave the fish a wonderful aromatic sweet flavor. Another dish that stood out was the frog leg congee as it was relatively sweet from the fresh frog legs; the congee itself was nicely cooked, being rather smooth and silky in texture. Finally, the best one was the oyster omelette! Great flavor from the well-seasoned chili-sauced oysters; the 1 to 1 proportion of egg to oyster was a bonus. Ugh, salivating just thinking about it. The only dish I would say could have been better was the satay. In some eateries in Ipoh, you’ll see hawkers cook with skewers of meat shallowly above the coal grill. They would constantly fan the fire, preventing the meat from burning. This created an awesome crust/sear, with the little bits of coal-charred meat adding wonderful aromatics. Was not the case here unfortunately, but that is still not to say it wasn’t tasty.
The meal was insane.

There is a good amount near the entrance to the Red Garden. Unsure if there is a cost as we ended up walking from the hotel.

Har mee
Chendol- Rice flour jelly with palm sugar, coconut milk & red/kidney beans.
As we arrived at Penang, we basically dropped our luggage at the hotel and then hit the ground running. First stop, we went to this place relatively near our hotel (10 minute walk). Kedai Kopi Ho Ping is a small little eatery with multiple vendors outside cooking/waiting for your order.Favorite dish of the series was the Penang asam laksa; a dish packed with flavor. A base of mackerel soup, has a bit of sour from the tamarind, onion to add some sweetness, chili to add some spicy, and finish that off with fish flakes and the sweet prawn paste to really bold the flavors. This bowl of asam laksa has it all.

Parking
We ended up walking here from our hotel, but as you can see from the outside shot, parking looks a bit limited. You may need to drive around a bit to find parking along the street.

You Tiao (yau char kway) – deep fried dough sticks; (as my cousin states, “…[it] goes well with porridge, bak kut teh or even kopi O”)
Outside Hawker – Rolling the dough with bottle
Ham Chim Peng with red bean paste filling
Right outside our time at Restoran Mee Yoke Lim there was a wonderful sound of crackling and this amazing aroma of fried goods. Without a second of hesitation, as a group we went to investigate. Fresh You Tiao and Ham Chim Peng?!?! Totally ended up buying some for the road. If I recall correctly, not many made it back to the house…
Hours
Uncertain.
Parking
Parking can be difficult with so many businesses being around the area. We had to loop around a few times before finding one. Granted this was around lunch time. Good luck!
