辉记大排档 Restaurant, Pantai Jerjak, Penang

A quick eat at this simple, unplug and very Kuala Lumpuresque Chinese restaurant in a housing estate. For those hankering for Tai Chow this is the place. And mind you, its not easy to find these in Penang, replete with Hawkers Centres with cheap and good food.

Hotpot fish head with fish balls and lots of yam strips. Flavourful and heartwarming. Wished there were some rice wine added to the soup and more fish head and less substitution with fish fillet. Good pot of soupy goodness any Cantonese will appreciate.

The best dish on the table beating the fish head hotpot by a head. Bitter gourd and eggs. Sloppy, messy, oily and bathed with a generous anount of soy sauce. Slid down the throat with savoury soy sauce, bitter from the guord and gamey smell from the eggs. What a combination!

Run of the mill tofu with usual toppings of minced meat. Usual sweet, meaty and creamy tofu taste. Hash to do better to grab attention.

Good deep fried belly pork. However, the rind was not sufficient crisp. Well marinated but missed the mark on the rind.
