Food for Thought: Old Winston Coffee Garden

It was by chance that we came upon Old Winston Coffee Garden along Jalan Anson while taking shelter from the heavy rain. Since it was about noon time, we decided to have lunch there. A wide array of local food is available there including dim sum, noodles, cze char and bak kut teh.

Siew Mai

Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun

Ee-mien

San-mien

Bitter Gourd stir-fried in egg

Stir-fired Kai Lan with Dried Fish
  
However, the one dish that really stood out was the Bee Hoon in Herbal Chicken Soup.  This is a 'die die must try' dish when you are in Penang.  The soup is delicately fragranced with different types of Chinese herbs, yet the herbal taste is not too overpowering.  The chicken is tender and still manages to retain its natural flavour.  It was so good that I slurped up the soup right down to its last drop.
