Ask most Hokkien Penangites where the best Hokkien food can be found and chances are they will tell you "Ang Hoay Lor". If you're wondering what "Ang Hoay Lor" means, it is "Red Fire Wok" in the local Chinese Hokkien dialect.

This restaurant has been around since the days of my grandparents, so it has stood the test of time and is still surviving with brisk business everyday especially during lunch time.

Located just at the outskirts of Georgetown at Jelutong on Jalan Brick Kiln - this small casual restaurant is easy to miss. The restaurant can be seen from across the road if you're coming from the Jelutong expressway via Sungai Pinang, right opposite the row of shophouses with a lot of car workshops.

Traditional Hokkien fare can be difficult to find, especially if you don't know where to look. In a state like Penang, where there are tonnes of places to eat, especially hawker fare everywhere, traditional Hokkien food is often overlooked.

One such place is Quan Zhou Cafe on Jalan Sungai Pinang - if you're looking for this place, it is located near/opposite the Honda service center, right beside the Perodua dealership.

Let's see what we had here during this visit.
