Whenver I am back to Penang, I will try to head over to BM Yam Rice 大山脚芋饭 at Bukit Mertajam, Penang as one of my favourite dining place.

Over past 1 year, I saw this place had gaining tourist traction and might as well I start to blog about them. What to have here? They are famous for Yam Rice or we…
Tai Buan Porridge 大满清香粥 at Lebuh Muntri unarguably serve one of the classic Teochew porridge in Penang. I have not been here for the longest time. Most of the time I do not get to enjoy this shop as they only operate on weekdays. Since it was Chinese New Year and I am sick, my parents brought me back here for simple classic comfort food. Operating in heritage area, do prepare to fight with other patrons during peak hours. Operate by…

Menu offering is pretty direct from local to western.…
