Huat Koay, Fei Fei and Tham Ciak. We all love food so much that most of the time, our conversation revolves around food wherever we go.

We do share experiences and places we visits with our families and nice eating places among one another. After that, we will list down places that we should go and review together as PenangTuaPui.

Last week, Fei Fei’s aunt brought some pancakes during her visit to his home. The usual pancake we normally have are like the one featured in Anson Road Ban Chang Kueh or the bigger type that found in Pulau Tikus market.

This one though is much smaller than both of them that we think it is suitable to be XS size.

Guan Pancake or Apong Guan as shown in the sign, is located at Burmah Road. This stall was featured on NST, January 2 this year on Travel Section as you can see from newspaper cutting displayed on the left side of the stall.

It had also been featured in Ho Ciak TV series, no wonder the owner was smiling all the way throughout the photo shoot out.

Despite the small size, this pancake is quite thick relatively given its size. Inside the pancake, you will get slices of banana, teaspoon of corn and also grated coconut. The pancake tasted quite soft and fragrant, not too thick with flour.

Tham Ciak and Fei Fei like this pancake but Huat Koay said the pancake tasted weird because it included grated coconut inside. He preferred to have his pancake without them.

From certain angle, Tham Ciak said the pancake looks like Doraemon’s favorite pancake, dorayaki, mainly because of the protruding middle.

One thing we observed was there were people who called in to make their order and collect them later. Guan told us that these were his regulars who prefer not to wait but instead make order in advance, especially when the queue was long.

Each piece of Apong cost RM0.30 and the stall operates from 9am till 9 pm daily except Sunday.

It was supposed to be a night to celebrate a friend’s birthday that we decided to have seafood dinner.

Our initial plan was to go to Hilly Towne Restaurant at the middle of the hill on the way to Balik Pulau but much to our disappointment and frustation, the seafood restaurant tutup kedai!! Arghhhh!!

So left with no choice and stomach growling, we had to find an alternative. Instantly, teluk kumbar seafood came into picture and off we went.


After more than half an hour, we finally reached the place ( TELUK KUMBAR SEAFOOD) and the noise of stomach growling becoming louder.

There were lots of people when we reached and immediately we looked for a place to settle down, quickly ordered the food and drinks too. Oh yea, while waiting for our foods to arrive, we got ourselves satay as appetizer.

The environment was quite lively and the sea breeze makes the surroundings quite comforting, it did not feel stuffy or warm having dinner that time. The restaurant had quite a number of chefs working round the clock to prepare the dishes and our food arrived within reasonable time.

“Cit lei” aka helicopter was the first dish to arrive, followed with clams (zhu tan). The sizes of the clams were the biggest I have eaten in any seafood restaurants. They were so big that you would feel the satisfaction of actually chewing the clams.

Fried bihun with salted fish arrived soon after while we continued to indulge with the food. The ingredients and portions are quite satisfactory but I find it slightly oily too.

The main dish that we ordered finally arrived, crabs cooked with salted duck egg. Ahhhh… the sight of that dish in front of our eyes looked really tempting to feast. Just look at the pictures and I’m sure it had already made you drooling 

Although it was cooked with salted duck egg, it wasn’t what we had in mind. Instead, there was a twist to that dish and somehow it looked more tempting. Milk was added which made the crabs looked creamy. It was the first time for us to have salted duck egg crabs with milk but we did find it nice and delicious.

The price of the seafood dishes are quite reasonably affordable as well and won’t burn a hole in your pocket. It is open daily except Tuesday and operates from 5.30pm till 10pm.
