Some days, I stayed after school for lunch before mom fetching me home. School dismisses pretty late at 2pm and my parents can’t wait for me for lunch sometimes, they are hungry. So, I’ll just stay in school, spend about 10-20 minutes for lunch and only get home after that.

Some other days that I have lunch in school is when I got to stay back for cca meetings and activities.

My lunch that I eat in school is almost the same everytime, it’s only either rice or Java noodle. It’s because Java noodle is the only stall that gives the largest portion than other food for just only RM1.50. As for rice, it’s only RM2 for 3 dishes and a rice, if I ask for fried chicken, it will be adding another Ringgit into it. I seldom order fried chicken because I can use the extra Ringgit to buy 2 fried eggs, sausage, nugget or a fish ball soup.

For just RM4, you can get a few dishes and it’s enough for me. I had a very unhealthy lunch today because my meal doesn’t consist of any vegetable. It’s chicken (RM1), lobak(RM0.50) and nugget (RM1). Rice is RM0.50.

Mostly, I spend less than RM5 on lunch, include after meal food, like sausage, fried wan tan etc etc and a drink. Pretty cheap right?

This economy rice stall is very crowded during normal recess time and I don’t really eat for breakfast as I am so lazy to get into the line, only if when there’s less people. I still see old Chung Ling boys like my dad going back to school for lunch. Dad told me that for so many years, the dishes are still the same. I guess they need a change, or add new choices. =)

Find someone that is old Chung Ling boy or current Chung Ling boy and ask them to take you in to makan (eat)!

I guess it had been like ages that I have not had any in-flight meal which comes on a tray. Although I have been travelling around South East Asia, it were on AirAsia, the budget airline. Where would one provide you food when you pay so little for air fare? I heard that the Nasi Lemak selling on AirAsia is nice, if I got a chance, I must give it a try.

My last long distance travel was like during my Primary School’s Standard 3 which is 8 years ago. Well, I am not that rich to go travel so often, mostly is just around South East Asia, our neighbouring country. Say no to Europe, America at the moment. Parents asked me to save for it if I want to go travel.

Sometimes, people will say “Who would like airplane food? It’s pre-cooked and reheat when wanting to serve.” Seriously, I gotta say that I like it. Maybe it’s the hungryness that made me think that anything is nice, but seriously, it’s not that bad.

On the first flight to Hong Kong from Penang, I was served omelette and sausage. I loves eggs. It was pretty good, with lots of fillings, corns, ham, vegetable and salted egg. It’s a very healthy breakfast or you can say that it’s a balanced diet meal which consist of the omelette itself, bread and butter, fruit juice, fruits, and a yogurt. All of the carbo, protein, calcium etc etc you need is there.

It’s different set of food when we were on the flight back home to Penang. Flight attendant asked me whether to want a chicken rice or a spaghetti. I picked the rice. I thought it was like our local Hai Nan chicken rice but actually it’s not. It’s chicken, with rice and vegetable. Haha. Still, there is a cinamon roll, fruit, and with a ice cream. Yeah. The portion of the food was pretty small, maybe it’s because it’s tea time and they tend to think that we had our lunch and were not that hungry.

Do I miss the food on plane? Well, of course a little bit, but I miss Hong Kong’s food more!

Wednesday is the day where I and my parents will go out for dinner. Typically, on this day, they don’t go to gym nor any sports game nor any meetings. It’s like a family night for us. As for other days, either mom cook for dinner or mom take-away food for me to eat at home.

On one fine Wednesday night, we didn’t know where to eat and I suggested to go for Japanese food as you know I love Japanese food a lot. 2 restaurants came in my mind, the jail theme Japanese restaurant in town or Jurin at Pulau Tikus? This is because this is two of the so many restaurant in Penang that we haven’t visit before. Well, we went to Jurin as it’s near to our house.

It’s a well-decorated Japanese restaurant, you can see through the inside whenever you pass by Belissa Row on Burma Road. Though, I still feel it lack the Japanese feeling. There’s smoking and non-smoking area in the restaurant, which is a good thing as I hate smoke. It stink, it smell, it suck.

Going through the food, we had finally made our order. Dad and mom shared a set and I myself a set. We had a raw salmon sashimi for appertizer. I do not recommend this for order because it’s so expensive for a freaking 6 pieces of raw salmon at RM24.

It’s better for you to order my dinner set which has a grill salmon fish and again 4 slices of salmon sashimi. With vegetables, miso soup and fruits, it’s only RM34. Grill salmon is nicely grill though I prefer it not to be that dry. At least some sauce is pour on it will be better.

Dad and mom’s was a tepanyaki chicken set. They don’t really know well about Japanese food and 1 of which they know is tepanyaki, the Japanese grill and fried plate. They said it was nice and I didn’t try it.

Overall, it’s pretty full after the dinner. Food was nice to eat, but we are not going to order for sashimi next time. It’s expensive!

Yoshinoya is a fast food chain selling Japanese beef bowl and some other Japanese food. I was first introduced by my brother few years back in Kuala Lumpur. There’s a few outlet in Kuala Lumpur but unfortunately none in Penang.

It’s pretty famous in Hong Kong. It’s always full housed there but I don’t see the crowds here in Malaysia. In Singapore, sometimes.

So many times of visit to Yoshinoya, I have never change my order before. Every time is the same famous Beef Bowl. It’s selling for about RM9 for a beef bowl and a soft drink while around RM15 for additional soup, a pudding and a salad.

Maybe during my next visit to Kuala Lumpur, I’ll order other food at Yoshinoya, but I miss the Beef Bowl! Wonder when will the first outlet to be open in Penang?

Back in Hong Kong few months ago, I manage to make a visit to one of the Starbucks Coffee. I prefer Starbucks Coffee over Coffee Bean for its nice ice blended coffee and latte too. In Malaysia, people tends to go to Starbucks Coffee to get on the free wifi Internet connection which doesn’t available at Coffee Bean.

Sadly, there isn’t any free Wifi connection provided by Hong Kong’s Starbuck Coffee. Surprisingly, you will not find any Coffee Bean there. It’s just Starbucks Coffee and Pacific Coffee.

During a visit to Repulse Bay, I dropped by at the Starbucks Coffee to buy some food for myself. I did not buy any hot coffee, since we were in the move, I got myself a bottled Frappuccino coffee. I got to say that this is a nice cool drink, you can’t find it in Malaysia, yet or never. I don’t know about it.

Oops, I have forgotten to take down the name of this roll. It’s like an egg roll wrapping with cheese and ham. It taste good, but a little a bit expensive for something that small. Though, it’s just EAT-FOR-FUN. HA!

One thing, Starbucks Coffee outlet in Hong Kong is not as much as we had in Kuala Lumpur.

I learnt about this Stinky Tou Fu or known as Chao Tao Fu in Cantonese from those Hong Kong TVB series. Back to my first Hong Kong trip few months ago, I was in search of some exotic nice Hong Kong food and one of these I found was the Stinky Tou Fu.

Just plain looking at the Tou Fu from the television, I imagined that it smells like rotten cheese or sometimes the smell of a shit. Food critic in the TV keep talking how delicious it is, how nice it is very placing it into the mouth makes me tempted to try it in Hong Kong.

I was walking along Mong Kok area at the Kowloon peninsula in the night and on of the street by the roadside, I found a stall. It should be I smelled a stall. A food stall that gives out a strong smell of I-don’t-know-how-to-describe, it’s very strong, smell of rotten food. It attracted me to go and take a look.

I tell myself I gonna buy the stinky tou fu and have a try. It’s not expensive though, it’s only 10HK$ for 2 pieces of it. Placing it in a soft paper bag, with a few toothpick or sticks for you to eat it. You wouldn’t want to eat it with your hand because it’s pretty oily. Dip it into some sweet sauce and eat it.

It was not just the tou fus were selling there. They have plenty of foods around. Fish balls, sausages, not stinky tou fu, pig’s head skin, etc etc. Most of them are deep fried.

Personal thoughts is I don’t like the Stinky Tou Fu. Smells is not that bad but very strong sense of it, it’s maybe I didn’t put a lot of sauce on it, which eventually tasted very salty.

If there’s a second chance for me to visit Hong Kong, I’ll definitely remember to dip in more sauce for it.
