Here comes some cheap Thai food hawker stall that I’ve visited recently for lunch. Few days ago, I went to the Pinang Delicious Food Court on Macalister Road for lunch. I heard that there’s some nice fried rice at there from friend, so I decided to order fried rice for me for lunch that day.
The fried rice is actually from a Thai Food hawker stall and they serve various Thai dishes too but mainly fried rice.
So, I ordered a Thai Tomyam fried rice (RM4). I found it pretty nice, but a little bit not so dry, and surprised to find crab stick in there which makes it tasted sweet. The tomyam taste was just nice, not too strong and feels good. If you are craving from strong tomyam, it maybe not enough for you. In my opinion, if it’s drier, then it’s perfect!
Mom ordered a Pad Thai With Tomyam Soup served with white rice (RM4). The tomyam soup was pretty sour and the pad thai was filled with vegetable. I like the tomyam soup more. =D

I went to the famous and longest night market in Kuala Lumpur last Wednesday night and that’s the Taman Connaught Pasar Malam. After visiting the night market here, I felt that Penang’s night market is not that happenings and have less food. Nevertheless, they still rocks as I am a night market fan.
I realized that they do sell the stinky tofu (fermented tofu) here at the night market, which is pretty cool because all the while, I thought these stinky tofu is only available in Hong Kong and China, Kuala Lumpur have them too! At Taman Connaught night market, there’s one famous one which is the Chew Chew Chow Tofu which always has people queuing up for their stinky tofu.
It really smells bad but seeing so many people were in the line, I and my friend joined in too, to find out how stinky they are.
They are tiny fried tofu but with a strong odor. There’s small little pieces and also big pieces of tofus.
Well, just to try out, we bought 4 little pieces. It’s not tofu itself only, but with some sweet sauce and a little bit picked vegetable on top.
So how’s the taste? Just a little crispy thingy, tasted good, but super not healthy cause it’s deep fried and the oil reuse and reuse again. The odor didn’t get that strong after that, perhaps inhaling too much of them. Somehow, I felt that’s it’s not so same as the one I had in Hong Kong few years back, the odor were stronger. Anyway, I am going to Hong Kong in a few weeks time, and I am going to check it out again. =D
My friends Arron and Carmen have a try on it too, and they told me that it’s nothing special, but still tasted not bad or ok-good.
So what do you think? Do you like stinky tofu?
滑蛋河 also pronounced as Wat Tan Hor in Cantonese, mostly known to KL people and here in Penang they called it Char Hor Fun with waterish egg sauce. Some like hor fun in dry state, some like it wet a bit, some like it with extra egg and waterish. I like the one with extra egg and waterish and it’s yummy! I always eat this dish when I am in KL.
Recently, I found a place that sells nice Wat Tan Hor in Penang and that is somewhere on Cintra Street in town.
Located on a corner unit of a row of shop houses on Cintra Street. They sell not only Wat Tan Hor but various fried hor fun and bee hoon.
If to compare with what I had before in KL, KL still have a better one but this could be one of the best in Penang already. =) What do you think?

Besides the famous 888 Hokkien Prawn Mee on Lebuh Presgrave (known as sa tiao lor), I now found another hokkien prawn noodle which can add siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) into the soup and this place serves Hokkien Prawn Mee as breakfast and lunch. The name is New Pakma Prawn Mee, located on Burma Rd, near to PTPL College and it’s just right in the Pakma Food Court.
I like having siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) in the Hokkien Prawn Mee because it’s just something more delicious and yummy, also can say that I am a siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) fans. The soup is different from the Lebuh Presgrave’s as it has more prawn taste instead of spiciness. Though, the price of a bowl with siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) is RM5.50 compare to the Lebuh Presgrave’s which is only RM4.50 only. Nevertheless, it’s
