Back in old time, at each row of shophouses, there is a five feet width shaded corridor in front of the shophouses for pedestrians to walk around and act as a shelter place during bad weather. In Malay, it is called “Kaki Lima”. I believed that GohKaki 五脚基 Cafe is named as such to act as a shelter for busy workers to relax themselves in nicely decorated and renovated old house.

It is Thai food time again! This time, it is Thai Food @ Tan Jetty 姓陈桥 – one of the six clan jetties and tourist spots at Weld Quay, George Town, Penang.
Previously, we introduced some common Thai dishes found in Khun De Thai. Today, we introduce you some special dishes. Some of them were my first encounter.
Located at Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ew Lim near Batu Lanchang, Khun De Thai is not to be confused with Khun Thai at Teluk Kumbar. While the later has beach view with ample parking space, Khun De Thai is located at the busy street of Batu Lanchang and it is extremely hard to find parking there. Maximum of 5 cars can be parked in front of Khun De Thai, while the rest have to park further up a bit, at the shoulder of Jalan Hikmat (see Google Map below).
From 10-Jul til 7-Aug-2013, enjoy Ramadan Buffet at Eastin Hotel Penang consisting an array of delicious authentic traditional fasting favourites such as buah kurma, sup gearbox, lontong, nasi briyani gam, shawarma kebab and daging rendang with mouth-watering desserts like assorted Malay kuih and ice kacang for a hearty breaking of fast.
In this last post of Tang Bo Fu 糖伯府 series, I will introduce you some low profile items and also its English tea.
Kampung Jawa, a small resident area near Intel factory at Bayan Lepas, is well known of its Char Koay Teow. Not sure whether is my fate or not, I seldom had a chance to try it. Sometimes it closed, sometimes it sold out. Fortunately, now there is another option for me – Pan Mee 板面 at new Kong Bee Lee 广美利 outlet.
Affogato (RM8.00) – come with two scopes of vanilla ice cream to be poured with a small cup of expresso brewed with 100% arabica coffee. The espresso was really kick-ass. It can be found in Yellow House – a new hidden gem in Relau, Penang.
One of the disadvantages of dessert house is that if you are looking for proper meal, then you are in the wrong place. Tang Bo Fu 糖伯府 is aware of this and recently introduces some western cuisines. Let’s find out how good their “main courses” are.
