Chinese New Year coming! 文记怡保芽菜鸡饭 Wen Kee Chicken Rice, then CNY walkabout Sunshine Central Farlim!

- Chinese New Year is around the corner, and shops are literally painted red everywhere! But before we go shopping, we had to have a good lunch first. My wife suggested this chicken rice place near her workplace she frequents on weekdays during lunch. Which makes sense because this stall only operates from 11am to 2pm Tuesday to Sunday! Just 3 hours! I was intrigued. So we drove 45 minutes from our place just to try this chicken rice and arrived at 12.15pm, it looked like it was almost going to sell out! It was good, especially the chicken and the rice and the soup! All the basics tasted good, with the chili augmenting the taste even more with the slightly spicy and sour tinge it added. The braised intestines were a bit salty but still had a good texture. All in all, pretty good chicken rice in Penang... but I would still rate it lower than Singapore's standards. Don't shoot the messenger, this is based on my tastebuds and preference.
After the meal it was time to walk off a few calories and we visited Sunshine Central Mall in Farlim, a new mall which opened its doors in December 2024. It was awesome that there was still free parking! Not all the shops had been opened yet, and renovation sounds could be heard from some stores. We had coffees at Cafe Amazon, then did some CNY shopping at Sunshine, where we were pleased to come across a Lion Dance troupe in the supermarket! Made the kids happy for sure!

You have a lovely family and I enjoy watching your easy friendly style.
@@libusekarich6244 thank you very much for the kind words
I greeted you at the Sunshine Central car park. It was great to meet you. Sorry, I was in a rush; I wanted to say hi to everyone but couldn't. Keep up the great videos! 🎉
Bro so glad to meet you! Hopefully next time we can sembang lama sikit!!! Thank you for your support!
Carry on doing what you are doing . Singapore is too far away to eat chicken rice . Great video and good job .. bty i love this new mall
Hahahaha thanks bro... yeah this mall is nice! Waiting for it to be completely open.
You should try Uncle Louis Chicken Rice in SG, they have a few branches, there’s one at Maxwell Hawker Centre. Otherwise, the Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice at Golden Mile Food Centre is also good. It is side by side with Hainanese Hokkien Mee and both stalls have long queues in the day especially during lunch.
Thanks for the recommendations! Need to make another trip to SG soon!
BRO, HAPPY TO SEE U AND YR FAMILY IN RELAU!!! Ailsa wants u to come more often haha
Hahahaa recommend me some places to try bro
At Sunshine Central, try the Ooo Lala Garlic or Ginger tanghun. Wan Tan Mee you can try Shake Shake kopitiam. The satay also nice. They used to have very nice belacan fried rice too but maybe the chef has changed and not as good as before. Then at Bayan Baru food court aka Big Roof, try the Lai Hoe tomyam fish noodle. You can also get the handmade YCM 😂😂😂 from Seong Huat stall... try them and let me know what you think
Happy Welcome to bring ur kids n ur Wife too😁 over to Singapore for Chicken Rice on Video 🥰
Must plan... Naomi hasn't tried yet! Also wifey and Isaac hahaha
looks so yummy! Totally agree that in Sg the rice that comes with dish is really good. Even my niece and nephew kinda got spoilt by that and only ask for that during most meals lol. 😂 i sometimes just order the rice myself without the chicken to go along with my dishes. 😂btw u guys in Malaysia really have the mood feels so fun actually. That's one thing we can learn so much from.
Ya loh, the rice nia can eat liao! Come come to Penang for holidays! Scoot can get cheap flights!
Drooling after watching this chicken rice
I can eat chicken rice everyday!
great video with the fams. totally agree SG chicken rice is by far the best.
Right? A lot of Penangites want to whack me already hahaha
Singapore use good rice grain,as a Singaporean, l still prefer singapore chicken rice.😅
@@boonkeng4079 Singaporeans take great pride in their chicken rice. Like Japanese sushi masters.
aiseh.... the queue at Beng Aun kopitiam will be even longer than already is after watching your video. This is 1 of the hidden gems around this part of the island. Best to come before 1pm, as it sold out pretty fast. Their CNY cookies are not bad, especially the peanut cookies. IMHO, their "ho ka sai" special is the best in Penang island.
😆😆😆 I think it is already super popular! My only problem is parking lah over there...
@pishedbloke very true, many times I have to goto other places as there was no parking.
You can also try Foong's Hainan Chicken Rice @ Hutton Lane.
That is my favourite actually... Nearer to my home also! I will do a review soon!
Now you have to bring Naomi and Isaac to eat chicken rice in Singapore 😂. Alyssa wants to come again because she loves it.
Yes... once they have tried... they will always want to come back!
Hi there...we met last evening at Moulmein Rise 😊 The Rasa Sayang Nyonya Cuisine restaurant nearby is good. Do try the "Kapitan Chicken" and "5-mix Platter", it's superb. Have a good day.
Hi bro!!! The KTT was closed yesterday hahaha.... Will try out Rasa Sayang one of these days! TQ!
I know what you mean about Singapore having a standard of Chicken Rice that is better suited to my (your) tastes. I found a few places in KL where the chicken rice was as good, if not better than Singapore, but sadly not in Penang - I eagerly wait for your video(s) when you do find somewhere in Penang! 😉 In the meantime - Thank you for your stomach services whilst trying out places!
I need to go to KL again soon. Couple of months ago we had really good CR in Ipoh. Hatyai also has one good place. Next one to try is KL!
The pek cham kuei stall must be the only one with the shortest operating hours.....all thanks to its roaring business.
Alisa's and your preference of chicken rice, makes me feel homesick 😭😭😭
The new Shopping Mall reminds me of crowd and parking issues when the Gurney Drive Mall, first opened for business 😥
Thanks again for the wonderful contents in your videos.....bonding time between families 👍😍😎
Thank you.... I gotta go to this other place in town. Long queues need to be patient. LOL
Hi Bro, go check out the Onn Kee Ipoh outlet in Island Plaza. They serve 2 types of free range chickens, sure as hell win hands down over kopitiam chicken rice.
Onn Kee in Ipoh one not bad.... I saw the outlet in Island Plaza. Must try soon! I scared later people complain why suddenly so many chicken rice videos hahahaha
so fast Chinese new Year coming already
Ya loh.... very lau juak!
the chicken rice is nice, but a bit pricey.. rice have to be ordered separately.
