We wanted to try Curry Fish Head but ended up with the Clay Pot rice from the hawker centre and the price is rather expensive. (Without egg!)

To tell the truth, mom’s homemade clay pot rice is so much better. Mom’s clay pot rice has mushrooms and slices of garlic.

Hmmmm…I won’t try it again from the hawker centre.

Yesterday, we found this Smelly Tou Fu in Chai Leng Park and would like to try it one more time just to bring back some nice memories…

See photo above. Dare to try the smelly Tou Fu!(If you can read it). This photo was taken in China. I still remember people ran away from this stall and even the street due to the ultimate bad smell. I decided to hold my breath and brave myself to this stall then took this photo. Just for your information, keep away at least 1km from the stall if you afraid of the bad smell.

In Taiwan, you will not escape from the smell. There are these stalls everywhere in the streets, night markets etc. There is one street in Taiwan where all these stalls sell only smelly Tou Fu. They have roasted style, fried style, handmade style etc.

Despite the strong smell, the smelly Tou Fu is nice to eat. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try and enjoy it.

Malaysia is the excellent place to eat.  You can find variety of good food in Malaysia.  Malaysian food, Chinese food, Indian food, Malay food, Penang hawker food, Thai food, Japanese food, Nyonya food, …etc. There are so many food choices. Just name it, sure you can find it. 

I enjoy taking photos of all the good food. However, I always forget the photo taking task and realized it after finished eating. See above photo of Tom Yam noodle. Ha! Can’t see the noodle? I was too busy eating.

As you know Penang is a paradise for food lovers. Therefore, another post regarding food. Recently, The New York Times nominated Penang as one of 44 places to go in 2009. This is absolutely correct. I must write more about Penang…..

Try to imagine roasted chicken and pork rice with delicious sauce, soup & chili. I don’t know how to call this rice but the name given is nasi campur (mixed rice in Malay language). This mixed rice can be found only in Bukit Mertajam. 

Tada! Check out the photo here. Very delicious and special! See the sauce?

Notice the bowl with the soup? The same bowl which is earlier used to cook the rice. I find this unique. 

After a while, the food seller inform the crowd the rice has finished. Come again tomorrow.

Finally I manage to find yummy Oyster Mee Sua here in Prai, Penang.  The taste is quite similar to the Oyster Mee Sua which I have tasted years ago in Taiwan. I still remember how people queued for Ay-Chung flour rice noodle at Xi Men Ting, Taiwan. If you don’t see the situation there, sure you won’t believe what I said. See the photo below for evidence.

There is no table or chair for you. Stand or squat anywhere if you like and enjoy your Mee Sua.

This similar superb Mee Sua finally can be found here in Penang. Not that Penang don’t have Mee Sua but the taste of this handmade Mee Sua of ShihLin Taiwan Street Snacks found here (at Queensbay mall or Jusco) tasted good and reminds me of Ay-Chung noodle in Taiwan. Especially the oysters….

Hmmm….see the photo below. This is the Mee Sua of ShihLin. See those oysters? They are really fresh and super yummy. True, really fresh! (The photo. Not bad)

You can call this dish Putu Mayam or Putu Mayung. Which is the correct name? Anyway, I just like this dish.

Putu Mayam or Putu Mayung is a simple dish with super yummy taste! Main ingredients are rice noodle, coconut, brown sugar and some with pandan flavour.

Tasty and Super yummy!  I like this photo. Nice leh?

Heard this dish is quite rare in Kuala Lumpur.  Is it true?  if you have any information of nice Putu Mayung in KL, just send in your comment lah.  Just wanna help people in KL to find nice Putu mayung.

I like the way they make Putu Mayung. Check out the video here.

Hope you have taken your meal before looking at this photo. Ha! Else you will feel really hungry.

This is Chinese food Pork leg with Sweet Vinegar or we call it “Tu Kar Chor” in Hokkien. Don’t know what is this? Then you have missed out this super yummy food from your life.

Must be drooling by looking at this photo.  Don’t ask me where to taste this superb Pork Leg because this is  my mom’s best Tu Kar Chor.

Recipe? This is my mom’s secret recipe. Ok, a little bit information regarding the ingredients. Pork leg (of course), eggs, sweet vinegar, garlic, ginger……etc.  After writing this post “ Pork leg with Sweet Vinegar“, I feel hungry too.

Enjoy!

Do you like food?  OK, another post regarding food.  ”Char Kway Teow” or fried flat noodles, a popular food from Penang, Malaysia that you cannot miss.  For Singaporean and Malaysian, the first thing that come to their mind when they heard the word “Penang”, normally will be ”Penang Char Kway Teow”. Great?

You should try it if you are in Penang.  However, don’t take too much lah else you will have high cholesterol problem. 

Char Kway Teow is fried with bean sprouts, eggs, prawns etc..and of course flat noodles. Most of the Char Kway Teow found in Penang are delicious.  However, i like the Char kway Teow from Bukit Mertajam (near railway station) which fried with duck’s eggs .   The Duck egg Char Kway teow business normally start around 8pm.

So which famous Char Kway Teow do you like the most? From Lorong Selamat or BM or….

This is the most famous Wan Tan Mee in Bukit Mertajam.  The Wan Tan Mee is very special & delicious.  Still don’t believe it ???  See how the mee seller arranged the bowls (more than 10 bowls each time) !!! He kept on preparing the mee as there are always ppl Q for the mee.  See the videos below. They were so busy that until they needed to increase their speed.  I put up these photos so that those who cannot enjoy the mee can enjoy it through this site. Especially my big brother . Ha! Ha! 

Yum! Yum!

Drooling?   Hokkien mee versus Laksa. Which 1 is your favourite? .
