Cintra Street Famous Pan Cake and Steamed Rice Cake

After our steamboat dinner at Goh Huat Seng, we decided to hop over to Cintra Street to buy the famous Cintra Street Ham Chim Peng and Pak Thong Kou. This modest stall is located right opposite De Tai Tong dim sum cafe, at the junction of Cintra Street and Campbell Street. It was close to 10 pm so they were already out of Pak Thong Kou (white sugar steamed cake). The only Ham Chim Peng pan cake they have was the salty version (they already ran out of the glutinous rice and red bean pan cake).

The lady at the stall unveiled the pancakes from under a piece of white cloth and we bought 15 of those at RM0.50 each.

The Ham Chim Peng was a bit cold when we got home but still full of the five spice flavour and just salty enough to give it that distinct taste. I will definitely be back again to try its Pak Thong Kou and glutinous rice and red bean Ham Chim Peng pan cake.

Fried Fish Bee Hoon Soup at Yummy Cottage

Yummy Cottage is a relatively new coffee shop at the junction where Macalister Road meets Naning Street. This coffee shop replaces the Thong Lek coffee shop which used to house the Super Lai Lai Bah Kut Teh.

This coffee shop has quite a number of food stalls e.g. Chicken Rice, Hong Kong style Roast Pork, Kham Kee Beef Noodles, Fish Head Curry, Economy Rice, Claypot Rice, Fried Fish Bee Hoon, Koay Teow Thing etc.

The Fried Fish Bee Hoon here is quite famous and has been featured in a local Chinese daily. My parents absolutely love the crispy fried fish and strongly recommended it to me. This was my first time trying it and I have to agree that the fried fish was really good. The Seabass fish fillets were fried very crispy on the outside while still retaining the moisture of the fish meat.

My dad requested for extra pork lard just so I could taste how crispy is the pork lard is :)

P/S: I am not exactly a fan of pork lard due to its supposed link to saturated fat
