LWIN LEE | HOUSHUEN TEA HOUSE @ JALAN GASING
You would need a pair of
attentive eyes when locating this café located at one of the rented bungalows along
Jalan Gasing, which most of the time tends to go unnoticed. Or another useful
landmark would be Bible College of Malaysia that is seen just across the road.
Limited parking area is
available at this humble café with as fresco or indoor dining options. It was
currently manned by Jeannie, who does both your coffee beverage as well as
cooking some delish dishes.
The weather was quite
gloomy when we dropped by the other day, so indirectly led us into those homey
mood. However, do expect only a handful of menu is available as there isn’t
much varieties like the usual cafes. As
the Oriental-culture implied in its name; Houshuen, there would be an intermix
of Chinese-Western fusion, but depending on its daily availability.
So for that day, we interestingly
paired our Western Coffee with Penang Prawn Mee and Petai Fried Mee. Funny, ice
brows raised? Yeah, I know the combination was pretty odd but that’s what
available on that day, haha……
Double shot of sweetened macchiato for your caffeine fix.
FRESH PASSIONFRUIT (MYR 10)
Made freshly from the fruits itself, rather concentrated as no sugar is added hence much enjoyable with its original taste.
FRIED PAN MEE WITH PETAI (MYR 12)
Here comes the slightly special highlight here- fried homemade noodles with the pungent beans. Crunchy bites paired with the adequately spiced sit-fried noodle.
PRAWN MEE (MYR 10)
Another Penang famous delights
but enjoying over here at Petaling Jaya. Soup broth is moderately flavoured
with prawns taste, coupled with some fish cake, kangkung and chicken breast
meat with some own made sambal paste. It was a pleasant bowl of prawn noodle,
but I like it to be thicker in consistency wise, like those richer version in
Penang. Another Penangite buddy who tagged along this café also lamented the
same. Guess any Penangite would have a tad skewered preference when it comes to
Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee in KL is fondly and widely known as Hokkien Mee back in
Penang itself)
Overall,
whilst the menu here are pretty modest, one could still enjoy the greenery and
occasional wind at the backyard. Or visit the tea room that is securing a corner
further in the bungalow.
