Do you know there’s hawker stall by the roadside of Jalan Mt Erskine? It’s just after the Mt Erskine wet market and the Taoist temple. Well, it’s near to my place so I do visit there for lunch some times. There’s 2 food that I like at there, the chicken rice and laksa.

Chicken rice is nice, the char siew is nice but the siu yok/sio bak is not nice. From what I’ve known, the chicken rice stall closed after 2pm because mostly by that time, they have already ran out of chicken.

This is always my combination, a chicken rice and a bowl of assam laksa. It can be said that it’s one of the nice laksa in this area. It’s not too sweet like the one near Penang Chinese Girls High School, just nice. Good one. =)

The food stalls only operate during lunch time until tea time, there’s also economy rice, fried indian noodle, cahr koay teow, desserts and more.

Hohoho, it’s Wan Tan Mee time. This time I’ll take you to Melaka Street which is a junction on Anson Rd. I didn’t know about this place until my mom introduced it to me. She said it’s nice so I went to give it a try.

Wan Tan Mee

It’s located in Tai Hin Cafe, a kopitiam on the corner of Melaka Street and Anson Rd. It’s just right across Anson Rd Market, if you can find the market, you can find the Wan Tan Mee.

I ordered a small plate of Wan Tan Mee and the plate was indeed very small and there’s only 3 wan tan. Well, personally think that the noodle is not that nice, not so springy, but the wan tan or so call dumplings in English is not bad.

For nice noodle, I like the one on Chulia Street and at Padang (will cover on it next time :] ).

I had a Penang Assam Laksa in the evening at around 5pm. It’s definitely not enough for dinner, in fact it was not a dinner meal. After my tuition class, I went to Goodall hawker centre which is right opposite Penang Chinese Girl High School on Gottlieb Rd for supper. Let’s share with you guys what I’ve eaten for supper just now.

4 pieces of roasted chicken wings. Not very well roasted, so it’s not very nice. RM1.50/chicken wing.

The Japanese rice that I always eat at there. Unagi Don which has unagi (eel), egg, another egg wrapping a crap meat and a soup. This costs RM10 and I kinda like it, that explains why I always eat this. I love unagi!

Wan Tan Mee by you.

It was nice Koay Teow Thng at Pulau Tikus Market and now, it is nice Wan Tan Mee at Pulau Tikus Market.

Well, I got to say that it is nice. You can ask for fried wan tan instead of cooked one. I prefer fried wan tan, it’s more crispy but then some people don’t like it. The noodle is nice and I recommend this at Pulau Tikus market food stalls area.

We were hungry just now and dad took us for supper. At first, we wanted to go to Pulau Tikus market to eat Asam Laksa for supper but unfortunately the stall didn’t open for business today. It was 10 and we didn’t want to go far to eat laksa, we went to Gurney Drive hawker area there instead.

The first thing came in my mind was “why go there?”, it’s because of hawker food at Gurney Drive is getting more expensive and it is getting lousier. Seriously, the hawkers are more to doing tourist business than locals. Though, there’s 2 things that are still nice there which is the Asam Laksa and Soya Bean, also tau hua/tau fu fa.

However, there’s 3 laksa stalls if I am not mistaken. One of my friend did told one of those is her favourite, but I’ve forgotten which. Daddy also forgotten which stall’s laksa is nice so we went randomly.

11 Laksa

So, we ordered 2 bowl of laksa from the No 11 stall. It seems like I had tried before, a long time ago. Nevertheless, I am gonna try all next time. The laksa is pretty sour and vegetable filled but not so spicy. If you like sour, you will like this. But then it’s too sour for me already, I prefer something like sweeter or saltier. Different places serve different taste of laksa but all of which has a sour taste. It’s depends on how balance on the taste it is. Dad says it’s nice, I’ll say it is not so good. I prefer somewhere else’s laksa. What do you think? =)

Hokkien Mee or known as Penang Prawn Noodle is one of my favourite Penang food, I love the taste of soup with prawn taste and a little bit of spicyness and salty. Delicious! Today is Wesak Day and it’s a public holiday for me. Woke up pretty early in the morning even though I slept at 3am last night, I went to prayers and later then mom brought me to breakfast near her office.

Stall

Talking about this Hokkien Mee stall, it’s located inside Goodall Cafe which is just right opposite of Penang Chinese Girls’ High School. It’s one of the few stall that start selling early in the morning. The Goodall Cafe is actually very happenings at night but not in the morning. It’s only the students from the opposite school wanders around in the morning and people from the surrounding neighbourhood and offices.

The only food I eat there in the morning is the Hokkien Mee. Never tried others before. It’s Hokkien Mee all the time to me.

Just for RM3, it served in a big portion, I did ask for extra ingredient, but I don’t want that man add for me. Usually I will ask for the pork ribs, unfortunately that guy didn’t bring in any today. Adding pork ribs makes the soup taste better. Trust me. It doesn’t taste very spicy as it is just good to eat.
