Chulia Heritage Hotel @George Town, Penang

Chulia Heritage Hotel located in the middle of Chulia Street, extremely tricky to find the exact location since the is "hidden"right behind the busy street. We spent half an hour looking for it cuz my papago GPS lost also. Extremely GPS pun sesat @@
Chulia Heritage Hotel就坐落在Chulia街,真的如其他博客所说的难找!因为它刚好隐藏在繁忙的街道后面。我们花了半个多钟头才找到它,连GPS都迷路了!实实在在的GPS pun sesat!


Check in process is quite fast, the staff is friendly and helpful. Too bad the day we checked in already fully booked and we unable to upgrade or downgrade our room since one of our member fall sick suddenly.
Check in 手续还算蛮快的,员工也很友善。可惜的是当天所有的房间已满,所以我们没有办法更换房间。我们原本是3人行的,其中一个人病倒了,所以只剩下两个人。两个人住三个人的房间还蛮奇怪的。
It looks really great when you walk in. A very plush lobby and wide corridors, all with white shiny  large tiles. But the room are not so flash. Our room was very small, the only furniture in the room other than the bed and small wardrobe was two tiny bedside table.  And the window of our room unable to close it back after we open it, still wondering what's the problem.
走进去的第一感觉满好的!大厅和通道很宽敞,四周都刷上了白漆。不过,房间就没有中庭看起来那么赞了。房间基本很小,除了床还有衣橱之外,还有两张小桌子。房间内的窗口开了之后居然还没有办法关上,搞得我们还要大费周章地找员工来关窗。



Small facilities provided on the corridor.
走廊外的小小设备。
 

Photos of the room are very deceiving, the room is actually quite disappointing and the walls are really thin, could hear others chatting and their footsteps very clear. Actually Chulia Heritage Hotel is renovated from an old white coloured building. The room of 1st floor is made of wood and I can still smell the strong annoying door of the paint. 
照骗果然是照骗!房间真的没有网络上看的那么美,墙壁也很薄,在房间内还可以很清楚滴听到走廊外的交谈声和脚步声。其实Chulia Heritage Hotel是由一栋旧房子改建而成(只是刷上白漆而已)1楼应该是该油漆,所以油漆味还蛮重一下的。

We only get 1 keycard for each room and it's not convenient for us. So, the services consider not flexible.
我们一个房间两个人却只有一张房间卡,真的很不方便。所以,服务不算太好吧?不够人性化。



1st floor is for share bathroom. The shower room design is disaster, the shower head is fixed and located right in front of the toilet bowl and water tap. The space is small and your item will get wet even you just move a lil bit.
1楼是共享浴室。浴室的设计不太好,蓬蓬头就在马桶的正上方和洗手盆的右上方。空间也不是很大,所以东西很容易被弄湿。

If noise is not issue, then this would be a good place to stay.
如果这里的隔音效果再好一点的话,那会是一个蛮好的落脚处的 

Address:
380, Lebuh Chulia Georgetown,

Dinner at Kimberly Street

No idea where to start...so many pictures and food I've taken that day. I skipped my breakfast and lunch again =="
不知道怎么开始写,因为在槟城的第二天,我们Skipped掉了早餐和午餐。其实晚餐时间还拍了蛮多照片的,那就全写晚餐吧~

Yay, relaxing holiday I have. Sleep as late as we can, and wake up naturally ♥
其实在槟城那两天都很享受~想睡的时候才睡,第二天又睡到自然醒♥

We drive to Kimberley Street and decided to have our dinner here.
我们驾车经过了汕头街,看到这里还蛮多吃的,于是决定在这里吃晚餐。
The famous 4 stalls are around Kedai Sin Guat Keong, located at 86 Kimberly Street. They all start their business at 6pm except the Char Koay Teow, ealier at 5:30pm. The 4 stalls are 
在汕头街,有4个档口是非常非常出名的。所有档口大概在6点开始营业,除了待会儿介绍的炒粿条,他在5点半就开始开档了哦~出名的档口就是这以下4个:
(i) Char Koay Teow(炒粿条)– Stall outside Kedai Kopi Sin Guat Keong 
(ii) Koay Chiap(鸭肉粿汁) - opposite Kedai Kopi Sin Guat Keong 
(iii) Koay Teow Th’ng (粿條湯)- on the right of Si Ko Th'ng(Almond tea) stall 
(iv) Si Ko Th’ng(四果汤) & Heng Jin Teh (杏仁茶) or Almond tea - on the right of Char Koay Teow stall

Our 1st try is Char Koay Teow:

            第一档尝试的就是炒粿条:
Char Keoy Teow: RM3.70 (with egg) / RM3.00 (without egg)
I think this Char Keoy Teow is the best Char Keoy Teow in Penang. Fried flat noodles with prawns, slices of pork sausage, egg and cockles. It can be spicy, so just request to adjust how spicy you like it. (This is non-halal. Muslims should beware of this)
这个应该是我在槟城吃过最好吃的炒粿条了。粿条配上虾子,煮肉片,鸡蛋和我们所谓的屎蛤。还可以向老板要求加辣或者
是不辣~~但是个人认为少许的辣是不错的~呵呵~因为炒粿条里有猪肉,所以穆斯林的朋友
可能需要回避哦~

2. Fried Cake
曼煎糕
Fried Cake with sweet corn (RM 0.70) , without sweet corn (RM0.80)
The pancake is just......so so...The pancake is very thin, but the retraction is full. Full of peanut and sweet corn as you can see from the image ♥
曼煎糕没有想象中那么好吃(个人比较喜欢皮厚厚的曼煎糕)~这里的曼煎糕皮薄,但是馅料满满的!满满的花生米和甜玉米,就如图中一样~

3.Ah Hai's Koay Teow.
阿海粿条汤
Ah Hoi Kway Teow + Egg RM4.00
Further up of the road, we found Ah Hai's Kway Teow stall which situated at the busy intersection of Cintra & Kimberley Street. Slightly different from the common fish ball Kway Teow found in Penang or KL. Ah Hai's Kway Teow id freshly cooked with fish cake, pork slices, pork liver, minced pork and fish balls.  Round off the piping off the piping hot dish with poached egg. Patrons can choose from yellow noodles, mee hun, instant noodle or more. Prices range from RM 2.80 ~RM4.00
路口再往前一点,就可以看到阿海粿条汤的档口。阿海的粿条汤和槟城还有KL吃的粿条汤有一点点不一样。他们家的粿条汤里有鱼饼,猪肉碎,猪肝,猪肉还有鱼丸。送上来的时候还是新鲜热辣的呢!!好好吃!!象平时一样,有好几种面条供食客选择:黄面,快熟面等等。价钱大概是RM2.80~RM4.00

4. Famous Soya and 苋仔糕
Soya without jelly (RM1.30)
Soya with Jelly (RM1.30)
苋仔糕 RM2.20
I'm still wondering the soya with jelly and without jelly is having the same price :p
The soya is smooth, just like drinking water but full of taste of soya.Yummm~~ The uncle is selling 苋仔糕at the same time. We never see this before so we decided to try and now, I still don't know what it is and the ingredient. It tasteless but it totally different when we put it some sauce given. 
到现在我还是很好奇怎么有凉粉和没有凉粉的豆奶都是一样的价钱的?豆奶很顺滑,就和我们喝的白开水没有什么分别,只不过这白开水有着浓浓的豆奶味。看到档口同时也卖着苋仔糕,由于好奇心作祟,所以就买了一碗试试看。吃完后,还是不懂这是用什么做的~吃起来一点味道都没有,不过调味酱的味道很不错 :p

After we had our dinner, we decided to enjoy the night view in Penang.
吃过晚餐之后,就决定驾车在槟城随便绕一绕看看夜景。

Have a good day. Good night and sleep tight~
美好的一天~大家晚安咯~~

A taste of Teksen @George Town

I'm back !! Not longer here I think, really hope I can have more time spend on my blogger. I think my blogger have been ignore since I start my course :(
我回来了。不过应该不会留在这里太久,实在是有太多功课要赶!很佩服那些可以兼顾到的人啊!怎么我就是做不到呢?

We went to Penang on February but now just have time to share it, Oh!! Now already is the end of May :(
2月的槟城之旅到现在才有时间写,现在几月了?5月都快结束啦!!!

We walk around Chulia Hotel and try to looking for some food. Damn, we skip our lunch that's why we are so thirsty and hungry, especially during rainy day. Luckily we found Teksen, we saw pretty much of people dine in here, so we decided to have our dinner over here.
言归正传,我们跳过了午餐没吃(因为忙着拍酒店的照片哇!哈哈哈)所以晚餐时间还没到,肚子就玩起了交响乐啊。傍晚下着毛毛雨,又不知道附近有什么东西吃,所以只好再附近找找随便吃就好。无意中找到了这间。因为看到很多人吃,所以就抱着好奇心进去试试看了。

Crowded inside. Luckily, managed to find an empty table. Table turnovers were quick here. The environment here was nice, airy, bright and clean.
里面真的好满!!可以形容为“高朋满座”啊!幸好服务员帮我们找到了空桌子,基本上两个人的座位不难找。令我很满意的是,这里虽然人很多, 但是环境很干净明亮,还狠通风。

It did not disappoint. Much more than a tourist attraction, it is always a good sign when a restaurant appears to be full of locals. Tek Sen is a great place for people who appreciate a locals experience with authetic local food, friendly service and excellent value. Let's see what dishes we order?
果然跟着人潮走是没错的。 虽然说这里像是游客会来的地方(外国人占了20%吧?!)如果想吃当地菜的话, 这里将会是一个很好的选择。食物一级棒,服务员很亲切,还有一点的就是,虽然这里用餐的游客占了几乎一半,但是价格并没有因为这样而提高。来看看我们点了什么吧 :)

My favourite, bitterground with salted egg. The bitteground was fried with salted egg, and it become not so bitter. Just can't get enough of this.
我的最爱!苦瓜炒咸蛋。 苦瓜浸过盐水过苦之后再和咸蛋炒在一起,原本的苦涩味变淡了,而且还不时品尝到咸蛋味。好想再吃哦!

Three Emperor Egg (RM8)
This slightly dish is made from three different eggs : Chicken Egg, Salted Duck Egg and Century Eggs. Three of type of this eggs are used together in cooking which make this steam egg with delicious three different egg tastes along it. Its been my favorite since i m an egg lover . The custard of this three emperor egg is smooth , velvety and bouncy at the same time. Signature dish in Teksen Restaurant, they serve delicious three emperor egg.
三皇蛋。顾名思义,三皇蛋是由3种不同的蛋蒸在一起:鸡蛋,咸鸭蛋和皮蛋。三种不同的蛋类放在一起蒸熟,有种难以形容的美味。自从在KL吃过一次三皇蛋后就从此爱上了鸡蛋。三皇蛋蒸得刚刚好,很滑,不会老。这可是他们家得招牌哦!

Deep Fried Chicken with Sour Palm Sauce Topping (M: RM14)
As the title mentioned it was fried chicken with sour palm sauce topping, my hubby boy loves it so much and he can finish it all just eaten by him. Must try this out!!
梅子鸡。如标题,鸡肉炸过之后再用梅子酱淋上翻炒,带有一点点的辣!真的是让人又爱又恨啊!!
Our beverage. Hubby boy ordered a Michael Jackson which is Mixed Soya Milk with grass jelly (RM2.00) *silly name* and the right handside was homemade crysanthemum tea(RM 1.50)
我们的饮料。左边那杯是Michael Jackson,其实是豆浆参仙草,不过这个名字真的是太好记了!而我的是热乎乎的菊花茶,雨后的傍晚来一杯这个最好了。


This is menu of Teksen Restaurant, you guys can have a quick look.
这个就是德成的菜单, 大家可以看看。




Overall, This place is fantastic. Nice, big, airy restaurant mainly frequented by locals. The food was excellent. Everything was perfectly cooked with delicious flavours. Our meal came to about RM50, which considering the quality is really good value. Seriously, if you like Chinese food you have to eat here. I can't wait to go back!!
总的来说,这饭店实在是太让人难以忘记了。餐厅够大,够通风,而且是当地人爱吃的!食物很棒,基本上也没有什么地方可以挑剔的!就连超级龟毛的男友也对他们赞不绝口啊,说如果再来penang的话,一定会旧地重游。
