Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan @ Penang

Yes! Another road trip to Penang, located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia! Besides, we had this road trip in conjunction of our lovely Shin Tyng's wedding too. Congratulations Shin Tyng! Now, we began our journey and we reached Penang in 3 hours time. Not too bad aye*winks* So, what is famous in this lovely town? As far as I know, I have not been to Penang before. So I'm totally like a tourist here. Penang cuisine reflects the Chinese, Nyonya, Malay and Indian ethnic mix of Malaysia. Once people talking about Penang food, you will definitely hear all these like Penang Char Kueh Teow, satay, asam laksa, cendol, prawn noodles, tau sar pneah(bean paste biscuits), rojak and much more. Basically, this typical town is famous with "hawker food". No doubt, although all hawker stalls do not look porsh and clean enough, but the food is awesome! Trust me. I'm quite particular in cleanliness but for these places, you will regret if you do not try on all the food.

We found several places which is famous for their Penang Char Kueh Teow(Fried flat noodles). One of it Is located in Lorong Selamat. Let me briefly describe what is Char Kueh Tiaw. This noodle is stir-fried over high heat with dark and light soya sauce and of course chili together with bean sprout, egg, prawns, cockles and chopped Chinese chives.Although it is a bit pricey for a hawker food, but it's very delicious. The price range depends on what ingredients you would like to have in you fried noodles, and the portion.

Next, we had some desserts! Cendol, ABC, Rojak! Cendol is a traditional dessert originates from South East Asia. The Indonesians believed that the word Cendol was from the word jendol, which means "Bump" or "bulge" which refers to the green worm like jelly found in the dessert. This dessert consists of coconut milk, green jelly which made of rice flour and food coloring, shaved ice and palm sugar/brown sugar. Famous places to have all these yumilicious food are located along Lorong Selamat and Joo Hooi Cafe at Lebuh Keng Kwee.

Tim Pan Ko Ko Dessert @ Kuchai Lama

Time to enjoy some dessert in the hot weather? This dessert shop is situated in Kuchai Lama, the same row as Papparich. It has a variety choices of desserts that you should try. As for me, mango is my favourite, so I tried Pamelo and Sago in Mango Sweet Soup and Mango Glutinous Rice Rolls. I would say the price is reasonable. Go and have a try! :)

Homecook Food

Tired of having outside food everyday? I believed most young couples or students who are staying al by themselves here, will surely miss their mummy's cooking. Home cook food is always the best as it is not as oily as the food you have in hawkers or restaurants, and no doubt, more healthy! What you can do is, try to cook something at home, if your place allows. I used to stay alone in KL, when I was in college and uni. I lost weight because I always skipped meals. But I do love to cook, but cooking alone is not as fun as cooking with a bunch of friends. During my last year of uni in university of Strathclyde, I enjoyed cooking so much! Not only cooking, baking too.

Ever since I started work as a pharmacist, I rarely cook cuz I'm too lazy. :P I love watching Australia master chef as well as junior master chef. One weekend, I was inspired by their cooking, so decided to try on some recipes found in www.masterchef.com.au. This is an official website Of the much-anticipated Series of junior masterchef. You will be drooling and amazed looking at the food that the kids cook! How could they cook a dish on the spot without knowing it in advance? If I was asked to cook something right now, I don't think I could even think of the ingredients that I need.

So, I've decided to try on 3 of their dishes, which are the Beef and Mushroom Cottage Pie, prawn chilli stir fried fettucini, and strawberry smoothies as dessert. All recipes are from master chef website, but with my own wee alterations because I couldn't find some of the ingredients in the supermarket.

After few hours of preparation and cooking, the final outcome was satisfying! :)

didnt even manage to take a photo of it cuz everybody is too hungry.. :P

beef cottage pie! yumyum
