Today I bumped into a long lost friend, and he mentioned to me that he learned about my blog through his sister and he loves the articles I posted. I would like to thank for his support as it is really an encouragement for me to keep writing 
All the while, there were many people had blogged on Sri Bahari Road Kheng Pin’s Chicken Rice and the drawback about Kheng Pin’s chicken rice is the long wait time that makes most of the people frustrated. However, not many people had blogged about their branch which is located at Midtown Cafe Lorong Selamat.
If you are going to Midtown Cafe via Macalister Road, drive along Lorong Selamat and 100 metres ahead you will see Midtown cafe is on your right.
The Hainanese Chicken Rice stall is located on the left once you entered the cafe. This stall is run by the son and daugther in law of Kheng Pin’s Chicken rice owner.

“Yeah, what’s up!”, this is how you greeting when you meet a rocker. In fact, this is not an unusual sign for the staff to greet you back at Hard Rock Cafe or Hard Rock Hotel at Batu Ferringhi, Penang.
It is not hard to locate Hard Rock hotel. If you are following the one and the only road from Tanjong Bungah to Batu Ferringhi, you will sure pass by The Ship and Eden restaurant. Keep driving for another 1km and you will soon see Hard Rock Hotel on your right.
Hard Rock Hotel and Cafe have four principles for all their staff to serve clients better, which are:
- Love all, serve all. Have to love all the human and every living nature in this world.

If you are feeling sick and not well, you need to visit clinic to get some medicine. How about if you are feeling hungry and thirsty, can you visit clinic? The answer is YES, instead of clinic, this place is called Clinic Cafe. In fact the whole building looks like clinic.
To get to this place, if you know how to get to Sunway Carnival at Prai, where Sunway is on your left and Old Town Cafe is on your right, you are now located at Jalan Todak 4. Just before reaching Sunway Carnival building, you will see Billion Supermarket is on the same row. Right before Billion turn left to Jalan Todak 3, you will see a row of shop houses with one red in between and that is the Clinic Cafe.

There were many requests by friends and readers about Hakka Mee or Hakka Noodle in Penang recently. I have no idea why such requests came along. However, I do find a few places for good Hakka Mee around. Some of the places serve modernized Hakka Mee where there are mixture of Hakka Noodle with Yong Tau Fu. Others are still selling very traditional style of Hakka Noodle.
The place below that I am introducing will be the stall that sells traditional and authentic type of Hakka Noodle. The Coffee shop of this place is called Beng Chin Garden and is located at the junction to Kek Lok Si at Air Itam.
By going to Kek Lok Si, you will definitely pass by Jalan Pasar, where turning left will be going to Kek Lok Si Temple and turning right will be heading back to the roundabout that leads to Penang Hill. Beng Chin Garden is just on the right of the junction.
Beng Chin Garden is operating on breakfast and lunch hour only. For those that want to try out the good food here please be aware of your timing.
The stall of Hakka Noodle is located just at the front corner of this coffee shop. It is a very humble little store that operates here for more than a decade. I still remember the first time I tried the Hakka Noodle here was during my secondary school days which dated 15 years back.

I am unable to recall how many Japanese Restaurants in Penang that I had blogged before. However, there is a restaurant that serves localised taste of Japanese food. The name of this restaurant is called “Inaka”.
Inaka restaurant was once located at Autocity, Prai before they moved to Pulau Tikus. To get to this place, you need to travel to downtown of Penang and using Burma Road that heading to Pulau Tikus. Once you have passed Pakma Coffee Shop on your right and you will soon see EON bank is on your right. Keep driving further and you will see a row of shop houses on your left and one of the shops is known as “The Place, 007″, Inaka restaurant is just a few doors away.
The ambiance here is cozy and it really has the feel of a Japanese restaurant.

“Another summer day, has come and gone away, in Paris and Rome, but I wanna go home, I miss you, you know” - A song by Michael Buble. It always gives me the feeling of going home when I travel too far away from home for too long. Sometimes dining at the airport terminal while waiting for transit will give the feeling of home sick for the traveler.
Anyway, for those who want to get a feel of home sick while dining at the airport terminal, you are always welcome to dine and drink at Terminal 1 or T1 Restaurant and Pub.
Locating this place is not too difficult at all. If you know how to go to Queensbay Mall in Penang, check out the left side of Queensbay Mall and there are new shoplots known as Bay Avenue.
The interior layout of the place is very cozy. However, this place gives the perception of a pub more than a restaurant.
