Jalan Kampong Malabar 日本新街 is more happening now due to opening of some new restaurants. One of them, however, is not new and already been there for decades. Hon Kei Food Corner 汉记小食店 previously was a stall in Ho Ping Coffee Shop at the junction of Penang Road and Jalan Kampong Malabar selling famous Bak Moi (Pork Porridge). Recently, it moved to its own premise few shops away.
Pan Palace Plaza is a commercial mall located in Taman Lip Sin near Super Tanker Food Court. For years, the plaza is deserted with only two main tenants – Sunshine and Red Tea Garden Dim Sum. The restaurant in this article used to be a Wantan noodle restaurant. Before we managed to write about it, it changed to another noodle restaurant selling fish noodle/porridge, namely Te Wei Noodle Restaurant 特味面食馆.
As mentioned in my previous post, Jook-Sing noodle 竹升面 is a type of egg noodle similar to Wantan noodle but is produced using bamboo instead of machine. Today, we introduce you a new noodle house selling purely Jook-Sing noodles – Shinny Noodle House 西关竹园面家.
The restaurant which we are going to share with you today is a bit special. Not only it is new, it is also “old” at the same time. The restaurant is nothing more than the Gou Lou (Hong Kee) Coffee Shop 高佬 (鸿记) 茶餐室 at Jalan Kampong Malabar (日本新街), George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

Opened since 19-June-2014, Tree Bar is the new hangout spot in Penang under the management of G Hotel.

When enjoying laksa, did you come into occasion in which there was still plenty of soup left and you have to “drink” it off? Phaik Laksa comes out with a clever idea – consume it with yam rice, just like eating with a bowl of Kiam Chai Th’ng (mixed pork soup). Trust me, it works!
