Kheng Pin Cafe, Jalan Penang, Georgetown
This kingpin has a long history. Another Penang flagship coffee shop that serves breakfast and lunch. We already had our starters in Swee Kong at Burma Road half an hour earlier. We intended to go for their big 5. We managed only 4 and missed the Hainanese Chicken Rice.
Top of the line will be their Loh Bak, with pork marinated in 5-Spice Powder enclosed in a beancurd sheet. Deep-fried, it emited an aromatic fragrance like no other meat can release.
Loved by Penangnites and other dialects, it is a must-have in any Hokkien home during festivities. Crunchy and crisp beancurd with sweet, savoury meat, this is one dish no one can refuse. They have refrigerated ones for takeaways. It is easy to fry it at home.
Next, we go for their Char Koay Teow, which is famous Penang wide. Wok Hei and a combination of sweet and savoury soy sauces plus a splash of chili and a few large prawns made this dish so delectable for breakfast.
Then, the ubiquitous and obligatory Prawn Mee. It came in delicious thick broth replete with diffusion from prawn shells and pork bones with a small dish of sambal to enhance the soup any which way the diner wanted. It was topped with sliced pork and prawn with the eggs and deep-fried onion fritters. A complete meal that will satiate not only hunger pangs but also the taste buds.
Finally, the Wantan Noodles. It sprang a surprise. Really good springy noodles with a balance of sweet and savoury sauces that brought the noodles to life. Another jolt awaited us. It had chicken slices, mushroom, Wantan dumplings and BBQ Pork. Nice....
