Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Apologies for the lack of updates lately. Some things going on personally, good things I would say. And also travelling quite a bit for work. So here’s something short and sweet and old school… good ol’ Penang hawker food.
One of my favourite places to go to for lunch in Pulau Tikus is […]
Unique Pork Satay @ Bangkok Lane
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008‘Satay‘ is probably one of the best loved snacks in Malaysia and Asia even, with each country having their own special way of making satay.
Tucked away in Bangkok Lane in Pulau Tikus, Penang, is an eccentric uncle hawking his unique pork satay (currently priced at RM0.50 per stick, used to be only 40cents a few […]
Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice
Thursday, April 17th, 2008Ah the good ol’ chicken rice… a staple of our Malaysian diet, unhealthy as it may seem (oily but oh so fragrant rice and all).
I’m sure each of us would have our very own favourite chicken rice stall. And one of my favourites would definitely have to be… Goh Thew Chik Hainan Chicken Rice along […]
Breakfast @ Pulau Tikus
Sunday, April 13th, 2008One of my favourite places to go to for Sunday morning breakfast is Pulau Tikus market area. Traffic and parking around that area can be quite a bit of a hassle since this area is usually jammed packed in the mornings. But every once in a while, I do not mind braving the marketing crowd, […]
Laksa & Fried Popiah @ One Corner Cafe, Jalan Bawasah
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I remember that as a young kid, my grandpa and my dad would bring sometimes bring us out for a delicious snack - fried ‘popiah’ sold by an Indian uncle on a motorbike. Usually there would be lots of people crowding round his motorbike which held lots of goodies that included laksa, nyonya kuih and […]
Sri Weld Food Court @ Beach Street
Monday, December 10th, 2007One of my favourite places to go to for Nasi Lemak (the cheap wrapped in banana leaf type) is Sri Weld Food Court along the busy Beach Street. The Nasi Lemak Ali there is located right at the front of the hawker centre and what makes it so excellent is the fiery hot sambal!
Every time […]
Unique Chinese Pancakes @ Cathay Kopitiam, Pulau Tikus
Monday, October 22nd, 2007First of all, I must apologize for my inactivity last week. My streamyx at home was down for almost a week…and I could feel my fingers itching to edit & upload photos and do a blog entry… Luckily everything’s back to normal and I’m back with a vengeance! (which means…more food!!)
So to celebrate, I’m posting […]
Green House Hokkien Mee @ Burmah Road
Friday, October 5th, 2007Its been quite a while since I posted anything on Penang Hawker Food.
And going through my archive of photos, I noticed that I had left out a very popular type hawker food loved by many - the Penang Hokkien Mee.
Now, many will argue about where the best Hokkien Mee in Penang can be found. But […]
LAKSAnia along Burmah Road
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007Spotted LAKSAnia along Burmah Road when it first opened, but had my doubts. I thought it would be just another one of those Laksa Shack copy cats… So I never thought much of it, until I read a glowing review about it in The Star.
My interests piqued, I insisted we drop by for lunch during […]
Sky Hotel Char Siew Siu Baak Rice
Thursday, July 26th, 2007Apologies for my disappearance! Have been so bogged down by work…and then when I managed to clear most of it, I immediately laid hands on the last Harry Potter book….and after staying up for 2 nights reading…I FINALLY know what happens…….!! won’t go into that…cos it’s time for…a food update!
I have been craving for tasty […]
