Don't want to make the trip only to find out it's no longer there.. I mean considering the blog entry was in Jan 2010 and that the latest comment on it is at least a year ago.

Edit: Any idea what time do they start to open?

where you traveling from just to try that?

Heh.. so ngam the blogger saw my thread.. LOL

I'll be leaving PJ today around 2pm.. not sure what time will I get there.. maybe in 3 hours? so that will be 5pm..

Was thinking of having dinner there before heading onto the island.

Thanks to TS for this best guideline

PJ to BM in 3 hours

i salute u! ur vtek must be really big

What is the best place for lamb in Penang / Butterworth / BM?

Have anyone tasted the lamb in following places:

Hainanese Delights Restaurant @ 1926 Heritage Hotel Penang

Penang Hawker Food – Kota Selera Food Court adjoining Fort Cornwallis

Yee Heong Restaurant, Campbell Street Penang

Salsa Restaurant - Upper Penang Road

my choice is Salsa Restaurant but please please make reservation 1st & tell them you are kambing for their succulent & juicy lamb!

salsa quite nice food but crowding

Anyone know whether does this still open? I went there once years ago. I remember the rojak was like lok lok. Not sure bout now.

By the way, TS, you can try to add below for Butterworth area

1. Tom Yam Noodle
-Raja Uda Joo Heng (more sour taste)
-Kopitiam beside Kwang Hwa Primary Chinese School (more spicy and longer waiting time - at least 1 hour)

2. Yam Rice
-Jalan Ong Yi How

3. Char Kuey Teow
-Jalan Raja Uda
-BM there's one at Kulim road, but they had moved. A lot people went there, but you have to wait at least an hour.

I left PJ about 3pm, I reached BM at 6.40pm. Ended up going to Ismal Char Koay Teow as I was hungry, so wanted larger portion. Maintained 110km/h, just had to do a lot of undercutting since a lot of drivers do not know how to keep left unless overtaking.

They opened at about 7ish, that's when they started arranging the tables and all. Had to wait for a bit before I got my food because of that. Food came at 7.20pm.

Thank you, how much is the lamb in salsa?

Not sure but you can call them and check whilst making the reservation

hi guys, first time going to penang, wad food should i try? will be there from 6-8 sept, leaving at early morning in 9.

wad's the best char kuey tiao and orchien? and best western food with good scenery?

p/s: i'm staying at tune hotel, though i'll have a car to zoom zoom around.

bro, alma is much much better
ismal is ok but kind of spicy, cannot really taste the prawn flavor

Try the yam rice in BM . Theres a shortcut right beside the BM hospital , turn right and park at the empty land for rm1 . You'll see the yam rice shop nearby .

There is also a hyped Tom yam noodle in BM called heng heng .

Char koay teow has moved near lohas under a kopitiam named Mei le hwa . I go to the ones beside taxi station or near the ktm railway station cause less oily and less waiting time.

but the taxi station n ktm not for everyone
eating that time kena bite by mosquito like hell

penang laksa taste so nice

got any japanese restaurant in penang actually open by japanese a?

those small 1 shop lot style that serve good jap food with sake de?

Guess you have to suffer a lil for good food ? Lol . I've been having them since I was a kid , so no complains for me .
