allie writes: When I said ‘Lor Mee‘, I guess you’d imagine thick gravy with some herbs and spices taste bowl of noodle. Today I’d like to write about a special bowl of lor mee. You can get this ’special lor mee’ at Kafe Fountain which is located along Carnarvon Street. The gravy for this special lor mee is much thicker than the normal lor mee. This lor mee is stir fried together with the thick gravy. Yes, you do read correctly. Stir Fried. That’s why I call it ‘special lor mee‘. This lor mee tasted like shark fin soup. It must be due to the vinegar added ...

allie writes: This Chinese New Year is like any other CNY. I went back to my hometown, reunion with hometown friends and family. Everything is joy for the one whole week at hometown except for the very limited internet connection. Been missing all the blogs updates. My only option to online is by using Digi gprs signal. There’s no broadband signal. Imagine the speed of the connection… It’s just 113 kbps! Oh god! Let’s start a New Year post with something good! Upon arriving at Taipei we were greeted by cool breeze as it’s winter and it was getting dark although it’s around 5pm. We were already starving after check in to Dandy Hotel. Since Xi Men ...

allie writes: Seems like it’s been quite sometime I didn’t post about koay teow teng ya . If you are a frequent visitor of my blog, you’ll notice that there’s one period that I posted a lot on koay teow teng, that other bloggers gave me a nick name as koay teow teng queen. Browsing thru my koay teow teng post, I realized how I miss the koay teow teng at Pulau Tikus Market. Normally we didn’t really want to go to Pulau Tikus Market area due to the heavy traffic at the market area and it’s very hard to get a parking. But when we are craving for that ...

allie writes: When I read about Lang Sae Lee Thai Food in Lingzie’s blog, I vowed to go there as I love Thai food especially those very spicy which make you sweat! Lang Sae Lee Thai Food is located by Tan’s Jetty. The dining area is actually situated at the house compound area. Upon seated, we were  asked to order our drinks. Mdm Lee recommended us to try out her homemade Ribena. Don’t be surprise if you don’t taste any ‘Ribena Taste’ in the drink. It tasted more like sour plum drink. I like the taste of the drink, appetizing and refreshing on a hot sunny afternoon....

allie writes: Wondering where to have your tea time at Penang? Whenever during weekend, I like to drive to Cintra Street for the Curry Chee Cheong Fun (ccf). When I found out this ccf in year 2008, I’m liking it until now. The ccf is served with thick chicken curry gravy. I love mine to have some sweet sauce to mix with the curry. This will create a little sweetness in spiciness. The thick curry gravy is full of curry and coconut juice fragrant. It goes very well with the bland ccf....

allie writes: Birthday girl chose to have her birthday dinner at Manila Place, Gurney Plaza. Initially I suggested Chili’s hoping to give her a birthday surprise where the Chili’s Restaurant’s staff will sing her a birthday song and compliment her a birthday cake just like the Hard Rock Cafe Birthday Dinner. But Birthday girl wanted to have light dinner and she prefer Manila Place. Well, birthday girl is the queen of the night right. So Manila Place it is. Browsing thru the menu, I got attracted by the 100% fresh fruit juice with NO sugar added. Birthday girl and me ordered Pineapple + guava + orange + lemon (if I remember correctly). It tasted sourish with minimal sweetness. So tasty yet ...

There are still a minimal stalls using normal bowl for bah kut teh. The dry bah kut teh is also serve in a claypot. There are some dry ...

allie writes: My trip to Taiwan last month was a great one! We fly to Taipei with Air Asia and landed at Taoyuan Airport. It was on early Dec, therefore the weather is cooling (minimum temperature during our trip was 12 Deg C). One of the food that make my family members screamed for is Yilan Spring Onion Pancake (Cong You Bing). Yilan is famous for cultivating spring onion, therefore you can imagine how fresh the spring onion can be. Our driver recommended us this stall for the Cong You Bing; “San Xing“. Cong You Bing is actually a delicacy which lots of chopped spring onions with some minced meat wrapped underneath a ...

allie writes: Looking for Authentic Thai Food in Penang? Maa Roy Thai Food Restaurant do offer a wide range of authentic thai food. Upon being seated, some greens with sambal will be served. As appetizer I guess. Even if you don’t really like greens as my bf, you definitely need to try this out! As the sambal rocks! It is so additive that I keep on dipping the cucumbers into the sambal. Results? A burning stomach in me. We never fail to order tom yam whenever it comes to Thai food. It’s our ...

allie writes: If someone ask you, ‘Would you like to have a full course curry meal? ‘ , what would come across your mind? When my uncle asked me that when I first arrived at Penang, I was imagining an Indian cuisine. To my very surprise, it’s actually hawker food which serve curry mee with a wide variety of curry side dishes. This curry mee stall is located at Raja Uda, Butterworth which only operates at dinner time. This stall is always flooded with customers during my visits. Upon arriving, the more than 10 curry dishes definitely caught my attention. The fragrant of the curry spices immediately attack my nostril. Being a tam chiak (person who loves to eat) girl, if can I want ...
