Weissbrau



Pork-lovers can finally find paradise at Pavilion, where the newly opened Weissbrau provides everything from pork knuckles and ribs to cold cuts and sausages galore.



Complimentary toast with pate, perfect to nibble on while awaiting the mains.



Generously thick, flavourful Serrano ham slices to wrap around rock melon.



The Giant Schublig sausage looks daunting, but two people should have no problem finishing it. Made of smoked pork and chicken blended with spices and milk, this was all that a fabulous sausage should be: fresh, plump, juicy and well-seasoned.



Assorted meat and sauerkraut with Nurnbergen and Farmer's Pork sausages. Another terrific platter for sharing. We particularly loved the pork belly (partially hidden behind the sausages), which was both fatty and crispy at the same time.

Teo Chew Chendul




Apart from the laksa , outside Joo Hoi Cafe there is a famous cendol seller in Penang. Even Phua Chu Kang and Mary from Singapore purposely stop by at the stall for cendol.



As for me , i can quote it as the best cendol i ever had . Not just because of celebrities tried it , but the sugar blend are awesome as it is different from others.

Rating 8/10

Joo Hooi Cafe (愉园餐室)




The assam laksa here at Joo Hooi Coffee Shop is delicious, soup is thick with lots of fresh fish meat. The ingredients, cooking method and even the noodles are different compared to laksa in Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. So, you can’t compare their tastes.

Assam Laksa broth is prepared fresh daily with a lot of shredded fish meat – the main ingredient that could either be kembung or mackarel fish depending on the availability. But the outcome taste is still the same regardless of the fish used.



The laksa was fantastic , no coconut milk added and the soup is so thick and full with fish meat every spoonful i feast onto.

Yi Xin Ge Bak Kut Teh



Yi Xin Ge 一心阁 is a Bak Kut Teh has been operating for more than 25 years and it is the all time favorite of former Malaysian badminton legend Datuk Eddy Choong.

What is so special about Yi Xin Ge Bak Kut Teh is the soup itself which is clearer, slightly sweeter with a mild herb taste compared to the other Bak Kut Teh shops in Klang Valley.The sweet taste is attributed to the fact that they use a lot of yu zhu – 玉竹 (stem of Solomon’s Seal) often used for its natural sweetness in flavoring Chinese herbal soup. A hint of Ginseng taste could be detected as well.





Rating: 8/10

A combination of various parts like pork ribs, meat, trotter and intestines are included in the soup. Overall the Bak Kut Teh were just above average if compared to Klang ones which is superior.
