I took the Aeroline bus from Penang down to Kuala Lumpur, the bus is not like typical intercity express bus, but it’s something more luxurious with food and drinks served just like in an airplane, except there’s 4 wheels. LOL.

They have different menu for different time, I heard there’s nasi lemak, fried bee hoon, chicken rice and also Subway sandwich. As for my time, I took the morning bus at 1030am, they served me Chicken Rice. It’s warm and surprisingly the chicken was not bad, except for the rice, doesn’t taste like chicken rice to me. The gravy was nice when eating with the rice and chicken.

Food on-the-bus was not bad. Haha

This famous shredded chicken hor fun stall located in Ipoh’s old town on Jalan Bandar Timah, more likely known as Leech Street to the local, in an old cafe named Thean Chun.

Ipoh’s Hor Fun are more likely the same as our Penang’s Koay Teow except that it’s more smooth and softer when put in mouth. They look the same, but the textual isn’t. Hor Fun to Penangite are something thicker than Koay Teow.

As for the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it’s just almost like our Penang’s Koay Teow Th’ng, except it’s a little spicy and there’s shrimp in it. You can find almost similar one on Buckingham Street near to the market there where you order a bowl of clear soup koay teow (清汤粿条) at the curry noodle stall in front of the market.

Talking back about the Shredded Chicken Hor Fun, it looks nice but somehow to me, I still prefer koay teow in it instead of hor fun, everything was good except the choice of noodle. Maybe I am a Penang person and love koay teow more than their hor fun. Anyway, if you go to Ipoh, this is a must try.

How can going to Thailand without drinking the local coconut juice? Was doing some cleaning on my photos and found the coconut juice photo and I am now posting it up here to share with you guys. Coconut is food right? Hehe.

It’s easy to find coconut juice anywhere in Thailand, there’s probably stall by the roadside selling the juice. I like the small one, it’s cute and nicer to drink with. Do eat the flesh too, it’s so refreshing and nice! I like coconut. =)

My brother went to Shenzhen one year ago, he went into one of the KFC and simply ordered the Chicken Roll with Peking Duck Sauce (老北京鸡肉卷 mandarin:lao3 bei3 jing1 ji1 rou4 juan3) and keep craving for it after he had came back home. During my recent visit to Guangzhou in December, I finally got to taste on it and now I knew that why he like it so much.

It’s the sauce that makes the chicken roll tasted good. The sauce is the sauce that people use to eat with Peking Duck but there’s no duck at KFC, so it’s fried chicken. If there’s no sauce, it’s just same like our local Twister chicken roll. I like Twister too.

Another thing is, the Chinese KFC do sells Pineapple Egg Tart. It’s delicious! =)

I only tried their KFC fast food restaurant but not McDonald’s, the menu at the Chinese McDonald’s seems the same so I didn’t feel attracted to it. If you got a chance to get into one of the Chinese KFC, try the chicken roll, it’s nice.

There’s a noodle chain store in Guangzhou that has a very funny English name, it’s called Let Me In but in doesn’t means Let Me In in Chinese. It’s 靓面轩 (cantonese:leng min hin). It’s famous for the Wan Tan Noodle (Wan Tan Mee).

I went there before for breakfast during my Guangzhou trip and it’s located on the Shang Xia Jiu Pedestrian Street just right across the Holiday Inn Shifu Hotel.It’s very easy to find.

The waitress recommended their Zi Zun Wan Tan Mee 自尊云吞面. I ordered a bowl to try out and seriously it’s good. I like the noodle very much, very springy and crunch, it’s not soft and the soup tasted good too. There’s a few wan tan balls lying below the noodle and it’s big.

One thing that all the Wan Tan Mee in Guangzhou is soup based and not like here that we get to choose between dry or soup.

Besides that, I ordered a vegetable in oyster sauce for side dish. Compairing this with the same thing here in Malaysia, it’s not so oily.

From what I’ve known, Let Me In can be found in several location in Guangzhou, it’s a noodle chain store.

Outside my hotel, Shifu Holiday Inn, just located right behind Shang Xia Jiu Pedestrian Street, there’s a little stall selling hot Japanese Takoyaki Squid Ball. The stall’s name is called Japan Boat and I believe it’s a nationwide chain stall.

Selling at 6 Chinese Yuan per box, and each box has 3 balls. The takoyaki ball is big and you can choose different sauce topping. I picked mayonese and wasabi. Taste good and because of the hotness, it warmed me up.

Today I want to bring you overseas to Hong Kong, to a restaurant that’s operate by my auntie and her family in Kowloon Peninsula of Hong Kong. The restaurant name is called Pak Lam Restaurant and located at Tai Tsun St 大全街 of Tai Kok Tsui 大角嘴 area. You may not know where I am talking about but please allow me to show you some nice food of my auntie’s restaurant.

My auntie is on my mom side and they are all Hainanese. So one of their famous food in the restaurant is the Hainan chicken rice. A set of this consist of vegetable, which very nice to me, soup, chicken and a big bowl of rice. I don’t know whether rice in Hong Kong is it very cheap, they tend to give customer a lot of rice. The chicken rice is different from here, the rice is a little bit hard, not so soft and a little bit oily, but it’s still nice.

Chicken Chop and Steak with white rice and a little bit of vegetable. Hong Kong loves chop a lot, pork chop, chicken chop, beef chop (steak). However, there’s too little vegetable for me.

Beef noodle. The beef is nice, but the noodle is not. It’s not the cooking is not delicious, it’s just that I don’t this type of noodle and that’s why. Beef is quite famous in Hong Kong by the way.

Aunty’s r

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.

My last long distance travel was like during my Primary School’s Standard 3 which is 8 years ago. Well, I am not that rich to go travel so often, mostly is just around South East Asia, our neighbouring country. Say no to Europe, America at the moment. Parents asked me to save for it if I want to go travel.

Sometimes, people will say “Who would like airplane food? It’s pre-cooked and reheat when wanting to serve.” Seriously, I gotta say that I like it. Maybe it’s the hungryness that made me think that anything is nice, but seriously, it’s not that bad.

On the first flight to Hong Kong from Penang, I was served omelette and sausage. I loves eggs. It was pretty good, with lots of fillings, corns, ham, vegetable and salted egg. It’s a very healthy breakfast or you can say that it’s a balanced diet meal which consist of the omelette itself, bread and butter, fruit juice, fruits, and a yogurt. All of the carbo, protein, calcium etc etc you need is there.

It’s different set of food when we were on the flight back home to Penang. Flight attendant asked me whether to want a chicken rice or a spaghetti. I picked the rice. I thought it was like our local Hai Nan chicken rice but actually it’s not. It’s chicken, with rice and vegetable. Haha. Still, there is a cinamon roll, fruit, and with a ice cream. Yeah. The portion of the food was pretty small, maybe it’s because it’s tea time and they tend to think that we had our lunch and were not that hungry.

Do I miss the food on plane? Well, of course a little bit, but I miss Hong Kong’s food more!

Back in Hong Kong few months ago, I manage to make a visit to one of the Starbucks Coffee. I prefer Starbucks Coffee over Coffee Bean for its nice ice blended coffee and latte too. In Malaysia, people tends to go to Starbucks Coffee to get on the free wifi Internet connection which doesn’t available at Coffee Bean.

Sadly, there isn’t any free Wifi connection provided by Hong Kong’s Starbuck Coffee. Surprisingly, you will not find any Coffee Bean there. It’s just Starbucks Coffee and Pacific Coffee.

During a visit to Repulse Bay, I dropped by at the Starbucks Coffee to buy some food for myself. I did not buy any hot coffee, since we were in the move, I got myself a bottled Frappuccino coffee. I got to say that this is a nice cool drink, you can’t find it in Malaysia, yet or never. I don’t know about it.

Oops, I have forgotten to take down the name of this roll. It’s like an egg roll wrapping with cheese and ham. It taste good, but a little a bit expensive for something that small. Though, it’s just EAT-FOR-FUN. HA!

One thing, Starbucks Coffee outlet in Hong Kong is not as much as we had in Kuala Lumpur.
