Finding
a Chinese restaurant or coffee shop in Alor Setar can always be a challenge to
most people. It is quite ironic when Kedah is renowned to be the 'Rice Bowl of Malaysia'. I recalled one fine Saturday when me and my family were there; we could hardly
find a single Chinese restaurant after driving around the city center in circle
for about 3 rounds. Finally, we by the slimmest chance caught a glimpse of a signboard written in Chinese installed above a building which was tucked deep in one
corner off the main road I was driving along. Without further hesitation as all
of us had gotten hungry after the long searching around without any definite
direction, I made a huge U-turn to get to the place that we saw just now. To our relief, it was indeed a Chinese restaurant called Hai Choo and they were
opened for business that day! We rushed straight in to make our orders.
The
restaurant is attached to a Chinese temple and the place is very close to the
State Mosque. Although this may not be the best Chu Char in town but it is good
enough as we really couldn’t find any other Chinese restaurants that were open
for business that day. And when you are that hungry, anything would just taste like dragon meat!
I’m neither from Alor Setar nor Kedah and as such I may not know of any other alternatives there. Anyone who is familiar with Chinese food in Alor Setar, feel free to give us your recommendation here.
