I kena scammed but it didn't stop me from makan: Teochew Cuisine at Heng Lee 兴利饭店 Restaurant

Published 2024-04-20
Join us on a flavorful journey through the culinary treasures of Penang as we uncover the hidden gem of Kedai Makanan Heng Lee in Bukit Mertajam. Our original plans might have taken a detour, but what awaited us was nothing short of extraordinary.

After a sudden change of plans due to a disappointing ghosting incident and a dash of frustration over a scam, we stumbled upon the quaint charm of Kedai Makanan Heng Lee. Nestled in the heart of Bukit Mertajam old town, this old-fashioned restaurant boasts a legacy of serving delectable Teochew dishes that tantalize the taste buds.

From the moment we stepped in, the aroma of traditional Teochew cuisine enveloped us, promising a culinary adventure like no other. Our table was adorned with an array of tantalizing dishes, each bearing the hallmark of authentic Teochew flavors.

We couldn't resist indulging in the signature Teochew-style steamed fish, its tender flesh bathed in a savory broth infused with delicate herbs and spices. The clams cooked with fermented beans provided a delightful contrast of textures and flavors, while the steamed triple eggs offered a creamy indulgence that left us craving for more.

But the feast didn't end there. We savored every bite of the sambal squid, relishing the perfect balance of heat and tanginess that danced on our palates with each mouthful. Paired with fragrant white rice, every dish was a symphony of flavors that left us completely satiated and longing for another visit.

Despite the initial setback, our impromptu visit to Kedai Makanan Heng Lee turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As we bid farewell to this culinary haven, we left with hearts full of contentment and stomachs filled with the unforgettable taste of authentic Teochew cuisine.

    I understand how distressing this situation must be for you. it's okay to feel upset or angry. You're not alone. Small Tuition lesson to pay .. lol We were advised to Never pay using suspicious URL platforms to disclose bank or credit card Accts details . I like the Teochew food you shared. Teochew cuisine is renowned for its emphasis on freshness, simplicity, and delicate flavors. Dishes often feature a harmonious balance of the different tastes . Great video ❤

    Sorry to hear about you being scammed. I still think that online shopping is generally safe if you stick to reputable platforms like Lazada, Shopee or Amazon with refund policies and I only look for vendors who have good reviews and high sales in the order hundreds or thousands … things are cheap for a reason and are mostly fake so watch out … for individual sale items I will normally pay on sight/ after checking … better luck next time bro …

    Sorry to hear about you being scam....it's happening a lot these days to everyone young and old. At least you didn't lose your life saving and by next year you might not even remember or it won't bother you anymore. It could have been worst. At least you still have money to eat out........😃

    A local cuisine cooked by teochews, traditional teochew cuisine is slightly bland and pay more importance on the freshness of the ingredients.
