Law Eng Hor Kopitiam (刘荣和茶餐室) @ Lorong Selamat

The first impression when I got into this restaurant was "WOW, sibeh nice, their lorong sibeh got feel weih!". It means like, wow the alley is so nice because it has the traditional-Penang-street-food hunting feel. Those metal tables and stools, those bricks, the tree, the red mini temple (I don't know what it calls).

RIGHT? AGREE WITH ME? 

PS: By saying this, all I meant was just the spot we seating. other part of the restaurant was not this nice, they are just like what you see in regular Kopitiam. We were lucky that day to find such nice spot.

At the moment we get to the seating, a few hawkers came to us and ask for orders. They won't stop keeping you busy, like seriously. First is the Asam Laksa, O-chien, then some China-style food. You don't even have the chance to sit down properly until you answered everyone of them. 

The thing is that, I feel uncomfortable sometimes, when the waiters or workers are too aggressive. 

(PS: this photo is not mine, I took it from Google, others are mine ok)

You will notice that the Char Keuy Keow stall is not approaching to take order. Guess because they are famous so it's unnecessary for them to do this, and you will still order their Char Keuy Teow, eventually. Lansi much, hahaha it's okay since they didn't say anything rude to me.

And we ordered ABC and Cendol too. ^^

I love this photo, it's so nice doesn't it? 

THE FOOD

1. Asam Laksa

I don't really remember the taste, because it's just like the normal Laksa I had nearby my house, but this is the a-little-bit-better one. I forgot the price too, guess it's because the price is similar to the one nearby my house too, it should be around RM5 - RM7, yeah. HAHAHA sorry everyone T^T


2. O-chien

Their O-chien taste normal too, all I can is that, their O (oysters) has oyster taste, and their Chien (fried egg) has egg taste. I know my comment sucks, but I think that this O-chien is nothing much better than the one I had in Oyster King. And I forgot the price AGAINNNN HAHAHAH sorry :(

3. ABC and Cendol

Their Cendol was really really normal, because once you tried the Penang Road one, you would never look back for this. I'm sorry to the owner but yea. However, the ABC is very nice, especially with an ice-cream on top, IT WOULD BE THE BONUS. I bet kids will love the ABC tho, recommend it! 

4. The Famous Char-Keuy-Teow

Honestly, I'm quite disappointed on this, because hey, it's Penang! I expected most of their Char-Keuy-Teow would be better than Papa Rich one for sure. But nahh, they said that this was charcoal fired one, so I expect it would have "wok-hei", it means the fragrance of frying something in Chinese. It's also the most expensive Char-Keuy-Teow I had in a Kopitiam, because normally a plate of these would cost around RM7 the most in kopitiam, this one cost like RM9, seriously? 

5. Ko Ai Pork Fross

If you're from Penang you must know this famous Bahhu (pork fross) auntie. She's actually a DISGUISED RAPPER. I'm kidding but the way she talk is very funny. She would go table to table while rapping to sell her pork fross, AND I FORGOT THE PRICE AGAIN AHAHHAH sorry babes. Anyway we bought one bottle for late night snack. The texture is different from normal meat fross you bought from Malaysia famous jerky and meat fross store (Wing Heong, Oloiya etc). It's very nice you guys should try it!
