One of the nice place to have some local hawker food for lunch and tea is the Padang Brown Food Court, which located at Padang Brown, in line with Perak Road. Padang which literally means field, which on the other hand, Padang Brown means Brown’s Field.

There’s actually 3 food courts on Padang Brown, one houses under the official food court built for hawker, another 2 are not really official. It’s quite easy to spot this food court as it’s inline with Perak Road and also by the junction of Perak Road and Anson Road. There’s a monument in the middle of the food court too.

This food court only opens in the afternoon and offer a variety of local hawker food for you to try out like Char Koay Teow, Lok Lok, Asam Laksa and more.

People usually finds lok-lok at night time but at here you can find it in the afternoon. Lok-lok is actually raw food on stick, which you need to dip them in super hot boiling water and cook your own food. Then you eat it with different sauces. You can get as cheap as RM0.50 per stick.

I wasn’t that obsessed with char koay teow back then. All of this craving and obsession for char koay teow comes after I went to study at Kuala Lumpur and I had so much char koay teow during this holiday in my hometown, Penang.

I ordered myself a plate of char koay teow (RM3.00) at the food court and the redness looks spicy and yes it is, somehow it’s still good even it’s spicy. Although, it might not be the best, it’s still so much better than char koay teow in Kuala Lumpur and other places. You can always request for less spicyness. The only thing was it’s not dry enough.

Despite all the hotness, a glass of coconut juice was chilling at the food court and it’s a must try. =)

If you drive passed Sungai Pinang area, you will notice a food court that is quite crowded with people recently, located just at the cornere where you turn in from Jelutong Expressway. It’s new, looks pretty and seems like there’s a lot of food to eat.

I was in town last Sunday and it was dinner time, I didn’t know what to eat. At first, I thought of going to Prangin Mall to look for dinner but it’s already and I don’t really like to go there at night, it’s a little bit scary. After thinking and thinking, called some friend for suggestion and finally found a place to eat and this is the new Sungai Penang Food Court. Seems it’s new and just quite near, so I went there to try out a new place of hawker food.

I was worried about parking as my friend told me that there’s no parking lot and it’s actually not true.

I was pretty excited when I saw so many people eating at there, I love crowded place as it builds up the happenings atmosphere.

Initially, I didn’t now where to eat, but just as I reached there, walked around the stalls twice, I didn’t know what to eat, there’s like so many choices and I wanted to try them all.

Due to budget constrain and want something different, I found this special Golden Claypot Curry Chicken or literally translated means A Bowl of Chicken Curry Per Person.

There’s 3 types, curry chicken + bread, curry chicken + white rice and curry chicken + nasi kunyit.

I ordered the Curry Chicken + Nasi Kunyit set. Nasi Kunyit is also known as the Tumeric Rice. I think it had been quite a long time I didn’t eat Nasi Kunyit, I only get to eat when there’s people give birth because it’s a kind of culture where the local Chinese will give relatives and friend nasi kunyit when they give birth.

The way of eating this is put a lot of the curry gravy on the rice to make it soft and not so sticky and the taste of curry and nasi kunyit blends well. I like this, the chicken meat was soft and the curry was not very spicy. This thing cost me RM5.50, it will be nice if it’s below RM5. Hehe.

I saw a lot of people bought the fried chicken thing, like fried chicken wing, fried drumstick at the fried chicken stall. It’s seems like something good, so I bought the fried chicken neck for RM2 to eat. Sounds unhealthy with so many friend things but I like fried stuff, though I would have to drink plenty of fluid.

I went to try out a new western food stall in Tanjung Bungah. Not sure whether heard about it before or not? It’s located in the little food court right opposite The Cove Condominium, near to Copthorne Orchid Hotel. Outside the food court, there’s actually a sign writing “Famous Fish & Chips”, so we went in to try it out.

The little western food stall is called Max Deli Western Delight. There’s a lot of choices of local style western food.

I ordered myself a mushroom soup with garlic bread as an appertizer, I was hungry at that time. The soup is creamy, but not it still can be cremier. Though, there’s a lot of mushroom which I like.

This is the Max Deli Grilled Chicken. At first, I ordered a Grilled Black Pepper Chicken but I’ve decided to change it to this because with the name Max Deli, I thought it was their special dish like the Chicken Special at Pulau Tikus. Well, I got to say this is just very normal dish to me, taste more or like a Chinese dish, with lots of onion. I should have tried others than this.

This is what they called the London Fish and Chips. It’s just simillar to the one in Breeks Cafe. This is a lot better than the Max Deli Grilled Chicken. Though, it still can be more crispier. Overall, this is not a bad one, you can give it a try.

Unfortunately, the food court is not very well-maintained and clean, though there’s still a lot of people having meal there in the evening.
