Wickedly Good Weekend Chee Cheong Chok @ China Street
Out of the blue, dad suddenly suggested that we go for porridge with ‘siew yoke’ and ‘char siew’. The mere mention of those words conjured up images of fatty slices of roasted pork goodness.

The popiah in Padang Brown is perhaps one of the best popiahs in Penang. And it has been rather blogged to death. But I just couldn’t resist doing a post on this.
