			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Balik Pulau&#8217;s  Asam Laksa is quite famous among Penangite. A few weeks ago, I went there with my parents to eat the Balik Pulau Asam Laksa. The famous one is the Balik Pulau market&#8217;s one but then during that trip to Balik Pulau, I found out that the whole Balik Pulau market was vacant and there&#8217;s no more food stall there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="reflect aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2636/3697434579_bb029747e2.jpg?v=0" alt="IMG_6602 by you." width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>According to some locals, the market has moved to the new place. Luckily, we found a Laksa stall opposite the old market site which was also the place for the famous Balik Pulau Laksa. I am not sure whether it is the one that used to be at the old market or not but after trying it, it&#8217;s good.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="photo_container pc_l"><img class="pc_img aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2607/3745851405_1a9e860c43.jpg" alt="IMG_6605" width="500" height="333" /></span></p>
<p><span class="photo_container pc_l">There&#8217;s a Chuan Heong Cafe just right opposite the old vacant market.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="photo_container pc_l"><img class="pc_img" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2605/3746642210_30a7187ffc.jpg" alt="IMG_6603" width="500" height="333" /></span></p>

<p><span class="photo_container pc_l">Well, the Asam Laksa is good and the laksa guy was kind enough to point us way around the little Balik Pulau county.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="reflect aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/3697435301_3a56420461.jpg?v=0" alt="IMG_6616 by you." width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p>Another thing is, I found another Laksa stall beside the old market, this stall seems to have more people and it serves Siam Laksa besides Asam Laksa, so do you know any of these? =)<br />

<p>Do you know there&#8217;s hawker stall by the roadside of Jalan Mt Erskine? It&#8217;s just after the Mt Erskine wet market and the Taoist temple. Well, it&#8217;s near to my place so I do visit there for lunch some times. There&#8217;s 2 food that I like at there, the chicken rice and laksa.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/3025278672/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/3025278672/?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/3025278672_1df18a51fe_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p>Chicken rice is nice, the char siew is nice but the siu yok/sio bak is not nice. From what I&#8217;ve known, the chicken rice stall closed after 2pm because mostly by that time, they have already ran out of chicken.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/3025278214/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/3025278214/?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3017/3025278214_b3f6c1432e_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p>This is always my combination, a chicken rice and a bowl of assam laksa. It can be said that it&#8217;s one of the nice laksa in this area. It&#8217;s not too sweet like the one near Penang Chinese Girls High School, just nice. Good one. =)</p>
<p>The food stalls only operate during lunch time until tea time, there&#8217;s also economy rice, fried indian noodle, cahr koay teow, desserts and more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My first time eating out at Toast Box, a kopitiam style cafe (etc. Old Town, Ya Kun Kopitiam) in Singapore was 2 years ago at Vivo City. I was in Singapore 2 weeks ago and once again, I went to have my afternoon tea there with my family. They provide free wifi and nice food.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2828390478/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2828390478/?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3081/2828390478_4ba054bd96_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p>Introducing my favourite Mee Siam. It&#8217;s actually fried bee hoon (rice noodle) pour in the soup or sauce which taste sour and there&#8217;s egg and bean sprouts. I like the sourness of the soup.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2827555379/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2827555379/?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2300/2827555379_799363fe4f_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="749" /></a></p>
<p>This is the Laksa. This is what we haven&#8217;t tried before and it was our first time. It&#8217;s not like any other laksa in Malaysia etc. Penang Assam Laksa, Johor Laksa, Siam Laksa, it&#8217;s their Singapore Katong Laksa, taste a bit like Curry Mee&#8217;s soup if you have tried Singapore Laksa before. I&#8217;ll say this so so only.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="photo_container pc_l"><a title="Toast Box" href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2828388230/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2828388230/?referer=');"><img class="pc_img aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2828388230_aeda05e015.jpg" alt="Toast Box" width="500" height="333" /></a></span></p>
<p>The nice food at Toast Box is their kaya toast, half boiled egg and I&#8217;ll add in Mee Siam for myself. We didn&#8217;t ordered toast because 2 bowl of noodles were enough for us.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s Toast Box in Malaysia, one is at Food Republic food court of Pavilion, KL and another one is at Sunway Piramid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2511009255/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2511009255/?referer=');"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2371/2511009255_47118fe29b_b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p>We were hungry just now and dad took us for supper. At first, we wanted to go to Pulau Tikus market to eat <strong>Asam Laksa for supper</strong> but unfortunately the stall didn&#8217;t open for business today. It was 10 and we didn&#8217;t want to go far to eat laksa, we went to Gurney Drive hawker area there instead.</p>
<p>The first thing came in my mind was &#8220;why go there?&#8221;, it&#8217;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&#8217;s 2 things that are still nice there which is the Asam Laksa and Soya Bean, also <em>tau hua/tau fu fa</em>.</p>
<p>However, there&#8217;s 3 laksa stalls if I am not mistaken. One of my friend did told one of those is her favourite, but I&#8217;ve forgotten which. Daddy also forgotten which stall&#8217;s laksa is nice so we went randomly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="photo_container pc_l"><a title="11 Laksa" href="http://flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2511839674/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/flickr.com/photos/nicholas-chan/2511839674/?referer=');"><img class="pc_img aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/2511839674_1b42a8ae0b.jpg" alt="11 Laksa" width="500" height="333" /></a></span></p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s depends on how balance on the taste it is. Dad says it&#8217;s nice, I&#8217;ll say it is not so good. I prefer somewhere else&#8217;s laksa. What do you think? =)</p>
