Wow, imagine you can have so many yummy food within walking distance.



The Ban Cheang Koay is pretty much the same if you go anywhere in Penang, taste wise and appearance wise. The observation we can see from this stall is that the pancake is less oily and nicely shaped. The thickness is also just right so that you do not feel as if you are eating much of the flour.



The owner is quite meticulous and careful in preparing the Ban Cheang Koay. He will monitor the pancake being cooked in slow fire and does not rush to make the Ban Cheang Koay even though orders keep coming in.



Also, he is one of the most hygienic Ban Cheang Koay sellers we have come across. You can see all his utensils are always clean and he will take the effort to put the Ban Cheang Koay nicely into the holder.

We are quite surprise but still impressed with his workmanship. Too bad, we are not concerned about workmanship but rather anxiously waiting to get the Ban Cheang Koay into our mouths .. hehehe :P



Over the conversation with the seller on which type of Ban Cheang Koay would taste good or not, Fei Fei told the Ban Cheang Koay owner that plain one with brown sugar would not taste good.

Instantaneously, the seller rebutted his opinion and offered him a piece of Ban Cheang Koay with only brown sugar. He said he could guarantee this Ban Cheang Koay will taste as good as the others. From the tone of his voice, we could tell this seller was very confident of it.

The Ban Cheang Koay did come out nicely but slightly smaller compared to regular ones. It was solid, crunchy and just excellent in taste. The seller proved us wrong .. or he proved Fei Fei wrong.. hahaha.





Anyway, the seller said that piece of Ban Cheang Koay was not for sale, despite us asking for the price. We kept asking and finally he said, “RM10 per piece”. Told you already, it’s not for sale. 





There is a list of add ons that you can choose from besides the original Ban Cheang Koay. The stall is operating from 12.30pm till 5.00pm everyday.



Two hours almost up and we are heading to the last pit stop 

It seems that they have moved to this new shop already. The old shop was just a stone throw away. This eiu char koay shop is at Cintra Street, right before Wisma Cintra. You could never miss the shop as they fry those eiu char koay right in front of the shop.

You can see two ladies frying and drying the eiu char koay till crispy and crunchy while another guy sitting opposite them preparing the eiu char koay to be fried.

Also, there is another young guy sitting at one corner doing nothing, just reading the magazine the whole time. (I wonder why he never helps out with those chores…hmmm, lazy bum!). Also, we felt this guy quite “l*nsi” because he chided us for taking pictures. Of so many places we have taken pictures, this is the only guy that ever told us off…. L*nsi!



The eiu char koay can be quite oily so you might want to use some tissue papers to dry the oil away, just like what Tam Ciak did and finished our packet of tissue!



The best thing about this eiu char koay here is that they will still remain crunchy even after few hours later. We were told that they use coconut oil instead of palm oil, hence the eiu char koay taste crispier. We also observed the oil they use to fry are quite clean, probably they do change it quite frequent.



Each piece of eiu char koay sells at RM1. Fei Fei told us it used to cost RM0.80 only. Hmmm … inflation huh? This shop is open from 12pm till 8.30pm daily.



Okay, we were done with 3rd stop and ready to hunt for the next one. Are you ready for the next one? Wait for the next posting lar…. :P

Boss in action

There are seats under big umbrellas behind the stall or you can also opt to sit inside the house where there will be tables and chairs as well. (we would recommend to sit inside... too hot outside)



This curry mee is not oily and the soup is not curry based like the one at BM Yong Xu Xia. In fact, the color is rather whitish but the owner normally adds a spoonful or two of curry gravy into the curry mee for some flavors.



Of course you can add chili to your preference too.



For Tuai Pui Curry Mee, you can have the options of adding extra ingredients on top of regular ones like chicken curry, prawn, chicken liver, chicken legs, fish balls etc. Of course these ingredients come with extra price.



For example, adding a prawn will cost you RM5 each but given the size of that prawn, it is that of market rate. The cockles are also quite fresh as they are plucked and cleaned by the helpers there.



This stall is open daily except Wednesday and at the end of the lunar month. They will operate from 9am till 6pm during operations. A regular bowl of curry mee here sells at RM2.50.



First stop completed with o ur stomachs asking for more. So stay tuned for part 2!
