i won't worry much about traffic jam during CNY, i worry more about where to eat during the 1st 2 days of CNY

1st: find parking susah riao
2nd: when got parking, go down shop need to wait for table
3rd: got table riao when order need to wait long long
4th: food sux
5th: price although mahal compare to normal, but its nothing if compare to 1st few things i mentioned.....

btw, for people that not familiar with penang, lagi susah lol. coz tak tau how to go = stuck at traffic jam longer

tak tau where to eat (coz close shop) = spend time on the road more too lol

Dun worry Penang ppl veli the enterprising wan..1st & 2nd day also open wan...but be prepared to kena Ketuk kaw-kaw..

There was one year ..(many-many years ago) I was makaning at the New Lane CCF & CKT...

CKT = RM7, CCF ~RM4 & the leng chee kang RM3.50..FUUUUU..Klang valley that time also got no such pricing!!

Not mean to be rude but please do NOT come!
CNY and Raya, my family travels to KL to enjoy.
1st: find parking banyak senang liao
2nd: when got parking, go down shop NO need to wait for table
3rd: got table riao when order NO need to wait long long
4th: food very siok!
5th: price although mahal, it is comparable to normal CNY Penang's price.....



BTW on the way to KL via PLUS, we see the long jams going to Ipoh and Penang. Pity those poor folks paying toll (which may increase), wasting petrol and time stuck in traffic. And to think these folks will be doing the same thing on the return trip.

Best is you plan for the March schools holiday, it is more sane.

i do agree that do not go to penang during CNY. the traffic sucks... few years back we went to penang for CNY holiday... was stuck in the traffic for like 2 hours when our destination is just like 10 - 15 mins away...

The fact is, if you are driving from the south to Penang on the 1st day of CNY, the most terrible jam might be at some part of the NS Highway!!

Last year, my cousin left home at KL around 9am, and reach Butterworth (not yet reach the island) at 4.30pm!!

Then it was massive jam on the Penang Bridge. Nightmare ++, finally reach the island side around 7pm..

Hehe..Ever kena jam from Taiping to Kl start at 4:30PM & reached KL at 1 am the nxt day..me kena kawa kaw liao

agree agree lol

raya and CNY, kl is bestest liao lol

dun remind me of the PLUS jam la ah mix. summore that coastal road thingy... just not practical if going PG.

Went to eat Nasi Kandar at Line Clear last week - the only place I know that it won't burnt a hole in my pocket for Nasi Kandar.

wah lao, why la people say line clear cheap when the nasi kandar i get is rm18.20 (yes mine alone) there not include water? lol


no prawn no crab no fish head......

but well, i will still go back even though if i need to pay rm18 again lol

RM 18.20 at Line Clear? What did you have? Geez, it costs me RM 15.20 only for 2 pax, including take away one piece of curry chicken..

Here's some prices that I remember:
Nasi putih - 0.70
Vege - 0.60
Beef - 1.30
Chicken (thigh + drumstick) - 4.00

We ordered our teh tarik only when we finished our food, but before that they wanted to offer us FREE plain water or air suam pun boleh.

Actually Line clear will be my 1st & last liao...Kenot stand the smell of longkang & also the running rats...worst during raining....Nothing great about the food...

This is one overatted nasi kandar wth the actor as an icon just bcos he been there & bcos some TV ppl luv the name "Line Clear" years back... There other much cleaner nasi kandar around...

BTW, it's not cheap also.more expensive than The Pelita at Chai Leng park...which for me much better! - My lunch at pelita Chai leng park wth Fried chicken & Vege, never exceed RM4 wan

This one cost RM18.20


This one cost rm8.60



ada proof of receipt lagi



see blog for more lol

whao, RM4 for fried chicken and vege, not bad eh....pelita ok la, but if say curry, i still like line clear

Have you all tried Tajudin Hussein restaurant at Queen Street?

Wah, the 18.20 really something ah... But that's really so much food for one person ah....

My share that day cost me RM 2.70 only.... He he, coz it's just one piece of beef, vege and rice, with plenty of "assorted" kuah. Actually, that's what I like about Nasi Kandar, the rice and the gravy... lol

haha, at 1st when i saw, i also tot i cant finish it, mana tau eat eat, semua masuk perut @@'

btw, Tajudin Hussein restaurant also nasi kandar?

Yeap...but open during lunch only. My colleague brought me to this place during my business trip last weekend. Hard to get table though.

There's another one along Penang Road which I think is worth mentioning. In fact the original nasi kandar is actually from here. The shop is located on the right of Chowrasta Market, Tamil St. Give it a try, nice. Another good one that I have tasted is Kassim Mustaffa in Bayan Baru, same road as Sunshine Supermarket. I overloaded myself when I ate there, tasty!

"My choice is lamb rendang, curry fi$h, $quid and $quid egg."
The last 3 are 'super expensive'
BTW was it ikan bawal?
PS Like your blogg, but how come no feature SP beef soup or steam rice roasted pork place. Think there are many interesting eateries in SP but maybe no more in existence, cos long time ago?
One man's meat is another man's poison.
Yup don't like the smell, rats, dust and heat, which is why I always have take-away. Mostly fish curry with bendi(2pcs), chicken curry and ayam madu(2pcs). Cost about RM16 which is enough to be share by 4 persons.

lol, yea, squid and squid egg is mahal. coz normally take squid, squid egg and either fish or lamb at other place, also cost around rm12 at other place liao. haha

and yes, it was ikan bawal, the black one.

thanks for the comments, and whao, you know about the SP beef soup! I havent even try it before, and only heard about it like 1 month ago lol. I will find 1 day and visit it liao

and steamed rice roasted pork? do you mean "sai gao"? the old place that sell dai chao at lunch?

PS: stimix cannot tahan rat and longkang smell one,thats why dia hate william PJ too lol
