I just to Singapore lately to attend the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards and I got to eat some nice Singaporean food.

On my first day to Singapore, we went to Bugis which was where the hotel was. We didn’t really have any idea what to eat at first. If it my parents weren’t there, brother and I would have go to the fast food eg. Mos Burger (I miss Mos Burger!), Burger King.

Just right across the road, opposite of Bugis Junction, near to Bugis Street Market is the QQ Noodle House. QQ sounds so Chinese to me because of the Chinese famous QQ IM. We went in for our brunch. By the way, there’s actually a QQ Ramen House in my town, on the third floor of Prangin Mall. =)

The place really feel Chinese because the waitress and worker in the restaurant were Chinese, I mean Chinese from China. I am also Chinese too, but Malaysian Chinese. It’s different.

So what I ordered was the QQ Mee Pok. I miss Mee Pok, it’s actually a kind flat noodle, different from koay teow, I also don’t know want how to describe it. I knew about this from Mr Brown’s Show. No Tur Kua, there’s fish ball, minced meat, meat ball and a few pieces of char siew. I’ve forgotten about the price but I like this thing. =)

Wonder where can I find Minced Meat Mee Pok in Penang, any idea?

Can you believe it? Last Sunday I went to 7 Road Market and it was my first time going to that place after so many years of living in Penang. Lebuh Cecil is more to be known as Qit Tiau Lor to the local or literally means 7th Road in English.

I was talking about food with my friends in school and one of them introduced me to try out the Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng. We got no idea where to eat for lunch on Sunday so I told dad, “Let’s go to 7th Road to eat Koay Teow Thng.” Dad droves us there.

Lebuh Cecil Market or 7th Road Market is a wet market with the food court behind the market. I was surprised to see there’s so many hawker stall at the food court. There’s so many choice of local hawker food to choose from and I didn’t know where to start. I told myself I will visit this place again and again.

First food to order was the Duck Meat Koay Teow Thng since everyone was telling me that it’s good. It’s not hard to try, you can easily spotted the big lighted stall with it’s lightbox on top.

Dad asked for extra ingredient. It’s all duck meat with duck’s blood too. I don’t like the duck blood but the meat is nice. I like the fishball too, it’s soft and I can say that it’s not from the supermarket. The soup is sweet enough but then the taste of pepper is a little bit strong. Lesser pepper powder will be good.

Mom’s lunch was a plate of Lam Mee. I didn’t try it because I am not a fan of Lam Mee. According to mom, she said it’s good as there’s so many ingredients.

Dad loves Pasembur, we did order a plate to try out too. Pasembur is a kind of local Indian salad with shreded cucumber, turnip, potatoes, beancurd, bean sprouts, prawn fritters. The prawn fritters were crunchy enough but somehow dad says Taman Free School’s is better.

Lastly, we got a bowl of Fu Zhou Fish Ball Soup. If you do not know what this is, this is actually a bowl of fish ball in soup with tang hoon. The fish ball is different from the Koay Teow Thng’s fish ball as this has meat in the balls and it’s huge too. The soup is sweet and this is better than Taman Free School’s though. Hehe.

There’s so many stall of hawker food and I’ll go and try other next time. Any recommendation from those who have visited before? =)

One of the must-eat street food in Hong Kong is the curry fish balls. It’s so famous in Hong Kong and you happens to see it at a lot of places selling on a stall or shop by the roadside. I didn’t know much about what to eat in Hong Kong after my brother who went there earlier and told me about all the nice foods. Now, it’s my turn to tell you guys.

The curry fish balls is actually just a fish balls on a stick which you then dip it into the provided hot curry sauce. Well, it’s curry but it’s not that spicy as our local curry. It taste so much different with our curry, it’s like taste of curry powder and that’s all. Not authentic curry with a lot of cooking ingredient though. Selling for like a stick with 4-5 balls at around HK$10, it’s cheap.

The one above was at Times Square area and also I had tried another one near to our hotel at Pitt St, Yau Ma Tei. They taste almost the same, just the size of the balls were different.

So during your visit to Hong Kong, look out for it at the road side. Don’t be surprise to see working people in tuxedo standing there eating fish balls, it’s so common there where a group of students, peoples in uniform standing by the road side eating street food.
