Besides the famous 888 Hokkien Prawn Mee on Lebuh Presgrave (known as sa tiao lor), I now found another hokkien prawn noodle which can add siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) into the soup and this place serves Hokkien Prawn Mee as breakfast and lunch. The name is New Pakma Prawn Mee, located on Burma Rd, near to PTPL College and it’s just right in the Pakma Food Court.

I like having siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) in the Hokkien Prawn Mee because it’s just something more delicious and yummy, also can say that I am a siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) fans. The soup is different from the Lebuh Presgrave’s as it has more prawn taste instead of spiciness. Though, the price of a bowl with siu yok / sio bak (roasted pork) is RM5.50 compare to the Lebuh Presgrave’s which is only RM4.50 only. Nevertheless, it’s

Though nowadays, I found out that I don’t really like fast food because they are getting more and more expensive. Most of them, no matter McDonald’s, Burger King, Carl’s Junior, Wendy’s or what what what selling meal starts from RM10 which is a little bit expensive to, me.

Anyway, let’s talk back about the Burger King. On one fine evening, I was riding the express bus to go back to Penang and I was so boring in the 4-hours journey bus, so I was twittering on the way and saw people tweeting about the Burger King. I was very curious and went back to check it out.

The surprise thing is that it’s not open in any shopping mall or any entertainment area. The place where this fast food restaurant is Lebuh Sungai Pinang 5. Any idea where is it?

It’s at the 4 blue pole by the Jelutong Expressway, or also known as Nautilus Bay by IJM. Have some idea already right? It’s just by the seaside on a row of new shoplots and Burger King is the only shop that opens at there.

There’s so many car, there’s so many people in the restaurant and I think Penangite has not try Burger King before. The whole restaurant is so crowded, so many people queuing for meal and I was not interested. I thought they were giving out free burger or cheap burger, but not. Just like everyone flows in for Burger King.

Do you like Burger King? =)

Spring Cafe is a multi-cuisine cafe located at Fettes Park. Last weekend, mom took me there to have lunch and I ordered a Fish and Chips. What made it so special is the fish fillet is deep fried and quite crispy. It’s definitely different from what you had at the western food stall. Though, price wise is not very cheap, this is RM13.90.

Last weekend, I went to join the kids sushi making class organized by Penang Foyi‘s welfare group, a buddhist society here. I am not a kids but my friend was the organizer and she asked me to join in for fun and so I went. It’s held at Sushi King, Prangin Mall.

There’s like over 40 kids at there and everyone was so anxious about the class. I did sushi myself before but it was quite a failed one because I’ve forgotten to mix the vinegar with sugar and salt.

They thought us some simple Japanese term on food. Then rice mixing and the important part which people always forget is mix vinegar with sugar and salt. This is very important or else the rice would be tasteless. Pour vinegar on a mixing bowl or cup or anything, then add in sugar and salt. Don’t really need a lot, you can try the taste with your finger until and sweet and salty feel. Only then pour the mixed vinegar into your cooked Japanese rice.

We did have a little hands on. But only did 2 sushi. It’s for the kids and it’s not really a real hands on because they gave us rice that’s already shaped by machine and we only needed to wrap it with crabstick and nori sheet. And their nori sheet is nicely cut already, unlike what we bought from the supermarket.

Guess the best part of the day was having the little sushi bento and learning about mixing vinegar with sugar and salt. Haha. I’m gonna try it again at home because I failed last time. My sushi was pretty tasteless.

I am sure the kids did have a good time at there.

In Penang, there’s a very famous curry mee at Lorong Seratus Tahun, the road name literally means 100 years lane and I have no idea why is it named so. Most Penangite who love to eat sure knows about this place and the curry mee. Located in an old kopitiam on the corner, the kopitiam has a vintage feel as the owner love Chinese oldies.

The spiciness depends on how much curry paste you put in. Nothing much to review, I have to say, it’s good and nice.

Fried Noodle Bee Hoon that rocks.

I went to National Service (PLKN aka Program Latihan Khidmat Negara, was in KEM PLKN WHITE RESORT, BALIK PULAU) for the past 6 weeks and the food at there sucks (sometimes). I’ll talk about it in another post. In this 6 weeks of NS, the best food of all was still the vegetarian food provided by the Than Hsiang Temple on our Saturday Buddhist praying time.

Fried Hor Fun that is awesome!

Sometimes we got Fried Maggi Noodle ala vegetarian style and sometimes we get fried hor fun. You know why they’re good? Because it had been a long time I didn’t eat Chinese food in camp already, all meals provided in the NS camp were Malay-cooked food and they were not that good.

The fried noodle bee hoon I had in the temple last weekend was awesome and I ate too big plate of it during tea time then I skipped my dinner in camp. =)

They do have a good vegetarian food restaurant.

Lor Duck is actually teowchew inspired braised duck. I went to have dinner at Maga Kopitiam at Jalan Perak there just now and I ordered a plate of lor duck rice.

For RM3.50, I got a plate of lor duck and a plate of rice. I couldn’t say the duck was awesome, it’s good but not awesome. The duck was braised with the lor sauce, then there’s garlic and green onion. Eating the duck meat with the chili sauce was good. The set was not complete because there’s no vegetable. =)

Few days ago, I went to dinner at Paya Terubong there, East Coast Kopitiam. There’s many hawker store and one of which sells Teluk Kumbar Mee Udang. I was curious about how it’s like so I ordered a plate to try it out.

I thought Mee Udang, the Prawn Noodle is like Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodle but actually it’s not. It’s on a plate, not a bowl, with lime to be squeeze into the gravy/soup. Saw few sotong and the most important, shrimps/prawns. It taste kinda nice though, sweet and sour and a little bit of spicyness, I like it!

Find a fine day, I’m gonna go Teluk Kumbar to try the real mee udang already. This one is just beta testing. =D

Last time I introduced before the Fried Rice at Lebuh Presgrave or more known as Sa Tiao Lor 三条路 to the locals. Last night, I went there for supper and I ordered the Char Koay Teow from the same stall that does the nice fried rice.

The char koay teow quite delicious which I likey it. Just a bit sad that there’s only 2 not very big shrimp and a little bit spicy. If the shrimp gets bigger like at Lorong Selamat, and juicy, then it will be very very good.

Do you like Lor Mee? To me is so-so only but I still eat it sometimes. Lor mee is actually a Chinese-inspired noodle dish served in a thick starchy gravy and thick flat yellow noodles. My friend recently introduced me a Lor Mee stall at the area around Jalan Perak.

Since my friend said it’s nice, so we went there for breakfast.

Quite nice but the taste is different with the another famous lor mee near to Kuan Yin Temple at Pitt Street. The taste of the ingredient like the chicken feet, meat are strong, I think this is which made it special.

Try before?
