Didn’t feel like eating rice and wanted to eat some hawker food so I went to Pulau Tikus Market hawker stalls to scope for some hawker food. Same again, 6 weeks I never go to hawker stall already but my parents did buy me hawker food during Sunday visit for National Service (PLKN).

At first I was thinking to eat Wan Tan Mee, but somehow this big Hokkien Mee signboard on the stall caught my attention and I was thinking “Hmm. When does a Hokkien Mee stall appear here?” Because there wasn’t a Hokkien Mee stall there and it was far far away at the end of the market. Could this be a new one?

I can’t resist myself to order a bowl to try it. I ordered instant noodle typed, there’s egg, little bit of vegetable, a little bit of meat and very tiny prawn. My verdict is, not good enough. Somehow, I still like the one at Lebuh Presgrave. I’ll show you guys next time. =)

Balik Pulau’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’s one but then during that trip to Balik Pulau, I found out that the whole Balik Pulau market was vacant and there’s no more food stall there.

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’s good.

There’s a Chuan Heong Cafe just right opposite the old vacant market.

Well, the Asam Laksa is good and the laksa guy was kind enough to point us way around the little Balik Pulau county.

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? =)

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? =)

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.

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 :] ).
