Restoran Soon Mooi @ Sungai Petani, Kedah

We used to dine in this coffee shop with my hubby family during the weekend when we went back for a visit. And usually it will be a full house. We need two tables to accomodate all the people. And sometime we will order our foods first while waiting for our seats.

Usually most of the family members will order either one of the following foods for their breakfast:

Wantan Mee
The noodles are nice as it has it springy textures. My gal enjoys the deep fried wantan. ^-^

Special Mantou
Usually we will order few plates of this for our add on breakfast. We loves it as the mantou is soft and warm and the inside fillings are deep fried with ingredients.

Koay Teow Thn'g

Yee Hong Food Court @ Sungai Nibong, Penang

Occasionally during the weekend, I will drop by Yee Hong to have my brunch. As I am too lazy to go down to town for breakfast. ^.^ Most of the time I will go for the pan mee, which I blog here before. But during one outing, feel like to have something different. So I browse through and I saw "Kuantan Road Curry Mee". So decided to have a try!

Kuantan Road Curry Mee Stall

Kuantan Road Curry Mee

The curry mee is white in colour when it were being served. After I took a shots of it, then I mix the paste into the curry. Viola! It turn out to be a fiery red colour curry mee. I thought that it would fiery spicy but lucky I still can accept the spiciness of the curry mee. The curry soup base have a nice fragrant and there are fair amount of ingredients added. The noodles were just nice.

Hokkien Mee

My sister is having this hokkien mee. And the verdict from her is not bad and has a nice prawn aroma in the soup base. She enjoys her bowl of hokkien mee very much.

Sim Food Court @ Jalan Tengah, Penang

It's been quite a while that I did not patronise the hawker stalls at Jalan Tengah. I used to stay nearby there and I could remember that most of the time I will visit the hawker centre and had my breakfast, lunch or dinner there. But after since I moved many years back, I hardly went there for any meals.

Recently, I noticed that there are some new stalls operating in the hawker centre. So we decided to give it a try to some of the new stalls. There are still some existing stalls there. Like the "Mee Jawa" stall. But mainly I will blog about new stalls.

The first stall is the newly operated stall which sell "Sarawak Laksa" and "Sarawak Kam Pua". I hardly spot this stall as since it is new and not much people knew about this stall. I only spotted this after I ordered some other foods. But we went back again to try out the foods the next trip.

The "Sarawak Laksa" is only available on Sunday only.

Sarawak Laksa

Well, the Sarawak laksa is just so-so but I think it will be great for those who missed "Sarawak Laksa" as the fragrant still there. It does not have much ingredients in there. as usually there will have some sliced prawn. But here, they only served thinly sliced egg. The other concern is the chili paste. It is totally different. All I can taste is only the belachan flavours. It was not fully blended. ^-^

Sarawak Kam Pua

Well, if you missed "Sarawak Kolok Mee" perhaps you can give this stall a try. The taste is quite similar. The noodles is cook to perfect timing as it is not too soft. As I hate soft noodles. I like the springy textures of the noodle. This Kam Pua cost RM3 per plate which compares to Sarawak with this money, there will have more toppings like minced pork, fish ball and...... added on. But here they just use few pieces of pork slice.

Sarawak Kam Pua Soup
The soup is just a clear soup but I can taste that the owner of the stall has added some "Foochow Red Wine" in there and make the soup a bit different.

Edmund Nasi Lemak

Hubby and my sil went to try the nasi lemak stall. There are few choices of dishes to choose from.

Mee Jawa

This stall sell two different kinds of mee Jawa. One is Mee Jawa Rebus and another one is stir fry mee jawa. I always opt for the Mee Jawa Rebus. As I love the sauces that make by this stall and also the crunchiest tops and the peanut coating.

Pattaya Fried Rice

This stall sells different kinds of friend rice. I found that when you dined in there, there are more fried rice than take away. ^.^ So far I have try 3 different kinds of fried rice from this stall. The Pattaya friend rice is not bad. But it is not done in the traditional ways that they wrap the rice in the egg. The egg was just served and covered on top. But the rice tasted not bad.

Chiang Mai Fried Rice

If you want to opt for something more spicy. Then you can try the Chiang Mai Fried Rice.

Pineapple Fried Rice

This is my gal favourites fried rice so far. And she never failed to finish it. She will always finish this plate of pineapple fried rice in no time. But she will omit the sultanas. She just doesn't like to take sultanas. She is an odd little gal as most kids love sultanas very much. ^.^ She loves the pineapples and the turmeric aroma.

Sister's Char Koay Teow @ Macalister Road, Penang

Whenever there are visitors coming to Penang, one of the hawker delicacies that they wanted to try is "Char Koay Teow". As you can always see in some other state in Malaysia that they served "Penang Char Koay Teow". So I think "Char Koay Teow" is a must try foods for all the visitors.

Today, I am about to share with you is one of the popular char koay teow in Penang. You must have heard "Sister's Char Koay Teow" before right? Well, this is the CKT that I am about to blog for today.

This CKT stall is locate in Lam Heng Cafe, No. 185, Macalister Road, Penang. It is just opposite of Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre.

How do you classify the best CKT? I guessed everyone in their heart/mind have their own version of best CKT. As some like it wet and some like it dry. However, I prefer my CKT in dry version. ^-^ And with some chilies to bring out the fragrant of the CKT.

One thing in mind that you have to remember while dining in here. Is to prepare to wait. Even though that we went there very early in the morning. I still have to wait for very long. As I think the helper mixed up my order and gave it to some one who came later than me. So hubby went and complaint about it. After a long wait I get to savour the

Popular Sister's Char Koay Teow

I can differentiate the different of sister's char koay teow and others as the CKT is top with some crab meat. I think this is one of their "attraction" and also "specialties".

From the photos, you cannot see any traces of chilies in there. But it is cooked with chilies and it is quite spicy for some. You can always ask for less chilies if you cannot take too spicy foods.

Oh Kuih

While waiting for CKT, hubby order some Oh Kuih to try.

Braised Chicken Feet

Apart from the oh Kuih, hubby also ordered braised chicken feet to try. As the oh kuih and the braised chicken feet are offer by the same stall owner.

From I first spotted of the braised chicken feet, I am telling myself that it looks so dark and must be very salty. But it turns out to be wrong. It was sweet instead. The chicken feet is not very tender. As it is have the springy textures there. But I enjoyed the braised mushroom. It is very juicy and full of flavor in it.

Lor Mee

Hubby opt for the lor mee as he is not CKT fans. He loves noodles rather than koay teow. Hubby commented that the lor mee is not bad.

Apart from the above foods, you can also opt for some steamed bun and dim sum which sold in front of the shop. Where I saw may people stop by to take away to work.

Batu Lanchang Market, Penang

If you wonder where is FoOd PaRaDiSe? Why there is no post at all since February? And no blog hopping as well. ^-^ Well, I am kinda tied up with my work load and also the overseas trip for weeks. I still remember that I owned a blog here and not forgetting to "snap snap snap" while I "eat eat eat". So there will be some overseas review in my coming up posts.

Thank you for visiting my sites from time to time. And thank you for leaving comments. I am back now and hope to share with all of you more mouthful and delicious foods.

For a start, I will start with a short introduction to Batu Lanchang foods in the morning session. All the while I thought that Batu Lanchang market only serves food during lunch session but I only realised that my info were wrong. As during one morning last year, I happened to stop by Batu Lanchang to do some work. I realised that there are people and cars around Batu Lanchang Food Court. Out of curiosity after I have finished my job. I went there and check it out. And I saw some shops (Opposite to the KFC side) was opened for breakfast.

So I decided to go there and try out the breakfast the following weekend. I been there few times now. And there are several stalls serving, dim sum, roti bakar, half boiled eggs, assorted pau, nasi lemak, wantan mee, curry mee and also chicken rice.

I did not manage to try all the foods but I have try the following foods:

Wantan Mee

I am not sure why, since after the first trip there, my gal always ordered the wantan noodles when we dine in there for breakfast. My gal was telling me that she loves the textures of the noodles. I tried once and the noodles got its springy textures. Whenever I had noodles, I love springy textures than the soft and lumpy types texture.

My daughter and hubby always had the noodles and gave me all the wantan whenever they had wantan mee. I always told them that they should ordered the noodles without wantan. ^-^

Curry Mee
There is one stall selling curry mee in the morning session. I saw some tables are having curry mee and the bowl of curry mee that they are having looks fiercely red. So I decided to give it a try.

When the bowl of curry mee arrived, you will see the curry mee is actually white in colour and came with a spoonful of special red chillies paste.

After mixing up with the chili pastes, you can see the fiery red bowl of curry mee. It has a very strong fragrant of curry flavours as you could see from the photos that there are lots of santan (coconut milk) in there. If you like the rich santan curry noodles flavours you might like to give this a try.

Roti Bakar

Although this is not the famous roti bakar in town but we enjoy having it. As when the roti bakar arrived in our tables, it is still very hot and crunchy. My gal loves that and we always ordered some to share among us.

If you are just like me and not sure that there are morning session of hawker foods in Batu Lanchang, perhaps you can drop by and try it out. But please be reminded that there are only several stalls available in the morning session. There will be more stalls opening during lunch hours.

Ho Ping @ Kampung Malabar, Penang

It has been a hectic week for me for the past week. There are too many things for me to deal with. And also its the beginning of a new year and school started for my little gal and so on. Hahahhaa...... Therefore, I don't have much time to update my blog for the past few days. I told myself that I should spend sometime during the weekend to update my blog and also to start blog hopping. lol

I am scratching my head wonder what should I blog about as there are still lots of back logs to be clear. And accidentally I saw this post that I intend to blog about it last year. But too bad that I run out of time to published this last year. It is better late than don't post right? lol

Today, I am going to blog about the foods that served in Ho Ping @ night. I blog about Ho Ping before. And you can read about it from here.

From that post, I was recommended by CK to try out the night porridge of this place. So without hesitation, we went there to try it out soon after reading the comments. And we been going back for few times to have their porridge and also Bee Hoon Thn'g.

Bak Moi ( Pork Porridge)

The stall is situated outside of Ho Ping. Along Kampung Malabar. My advise is to go early to avoid the crowd. As there are quite numbers of patrons came for the bak moi, bee hoon thn'g, koay tiaw thn'g and more. I saw many of them came for take away too.

The first visit we went there we are lucky not to wait for too long but our second visit we went there and need to wait for longer time. ^-^ But hubby did not complained as he is in loves with the bee hoon thn'g being served there.

I had bak moi on my first visit. And the soup is quite tasty as it has a very rich flavour of all the combination of "spare parts" plus pork mince.

Bee Hoon Thn'g

Hubby is in loves with this bee hoon thn'g. The reason behind this is because the generous amount of the "spare parts" served in the bee hoon thn'g. And we found out that they also contain pig brain in there. All of those are high in cholesterol. hahhahaa.......but it is hard to get all the "spare parts" all in one in a stall like this easily.

If you are a pork "spare parts" lover, you should give this place a try!

Closed up version of Bee Hoon Thn'g

We like the textures of the thick bee hoon.

Lor Bak Stall

This is the same lor bak stall in the morning session. I took this photos in the night time while waiting for our bak moi and bee hoon thn'g. And since we were hungry, we ordered some of the lor bak to eat first. lol

*****Please remember to wait patiently for the bak moi and bee hoon thn'g if you want to try it. :P *****

Lor Bak

Another closed up lor bak

Ho Ping also served some fried noodles, char hor fun and also economy rice at night.

(Sorry for the blur photos as I took that when my camera lens have some problems. ^-^)

Kedai Kopi New Cathay @ Pulau Tikus, Penang

I am sure this is the place where it is not a stranger to anybody in Penang. As this coffee shop serves nice and varieties foods. We tend to have difficulty to get a seat no matter whether you go during weekdays or weekend. It is usually full house. Normally we will go there during breakfast in the weekend but during one weekday whereby hubby taking day off, we decide to go there and check out whether there are as many patrons as always.

So one weekday, we arrived Kedai Kopi New Cathay around 8.10am and we still mange to get table for two. So hubby went around and order the foods and mind you, he is so hungry that day and he order a lot. hahahhahaa......

Mee Jawa

Hubby opts for the stir fry version of mee jawa. And we found out that the way the stall owner add in the egg into the mee jawa is something different. Every piece of the noodles is cover with egg. Hubby comments that the noodles are not bad.

Chai Koay

Hubby cannot wait any longer and bought some chai kuih and kuih from the kuih stall. The chai koay being serves there are not too bad. The skin and fillings of the chai koay are ok.

Kuih

I am not really a fans of nyonya kuih. But I do take it from time to time. I am not sure when, I started to dislike the kuih that coat with coconut. But hubby insist me to try and told me that it tastes nice. As an adventure person, I will always try my best to try. Overall, not too bad.

Hokkien Mee

Both of us share this hokkien mee. And this bowl of hokkien mee is quite nice. Have a nice aroma.

Wantan Mee

This is one of my gal favourites. I remember when she last visited this cafe, she loves it so much. Hubby loves the springy textures of the wantan mee and he told me that it is worth the waiting time. lol

Koay Chap

This is actually my order of koay chap. I like to try different stall of koay chap. Each stall has it own aroma and flavour. And the textures of the koay chap varies too. Overall, I found that the koay chap here are not bad. If you don't like the coriander, then you have to ask the stall owner not to put as it will immersed into the koay chap soup base.
