Fresh Milk Susu Lembu At Nasi Kandar Line Clear – Fresh cow milk is susu lembu and susu lembu is fresh cow milk. Got that? On Penang Road, at the famous Line Clear 24-hours Nasi Kandar stall, there’s a nice fresh milk stall. It sells from morning until the night and specialized in – fresh milk.

There’s a few variety of fresh milks you can choose from his menu. Pure hot fresh milk, fresh milk milo, or fresh milk with egg. I’ve tried the pure hot fresh milk which cost RM1.50 for big glass. The fresh milk tasted hot and sweet. It’s good. You should try it out if you are a milk lover.

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Food: Delicious Pork Burger & Sausages At 7 Eleven – One of the must eat snack food in Bangkok, Thailand is the pork sausages and pork burger in 7 Eleven convenience store. It’s their specialty that all of their 7 Eleven sells pork sausages and pork burger. It’s cheap, it’s nice and it’s delicious.

They have a variety of pork sausage for you to choose, there’s choice of black pepper sausage, sausage with bacon, foot long sausage and more. It costs from only 15 Baht.

Besides, pork burger is another must try. They actually just heat the bread and the pork patties, as well as egg for you, then your burger is served. It’s fast and so cheap in price at only cheapest 20 Baht too. You can then enhance your burger by adding various vegetable like onion, lettuce, tomato slices and sauces like tomato, chilli and mayo. It’s delicious too. On my 5 days trip, I have eaten so much of these. =D If you cannot eat pork, you can pick the chicken version too.

So, if you are in Bangkok, don’t forget to try out these little snack food. Simple, yet delicious. Not very healthy though. Haha.

Bangkok: Famous Somboon Seafood Curry Crab

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Trip: Famous Somboon Seafood Curry Crab (Day 3) – After eating chicken rice, we actually went back to shopping at Platinum Fashion Mall until our foot cannot stand the tiredness. Mom was really powerful as she can keep exploring and hunting for clothing even though the feet sores. Haha, girls really girls, when it comes to shopping, they can ignore everything.

We went back to hotel for a rest later, went to foot massage then we headed to Ratchada area for dinner – Somboon Seafood. Somboon Seafood is a very famous curry crab restaurant in Bangkok located at Ratchada area.

One tips for you is that don’t get scam by taxi driver who offers to bring you to famous curry crab restaurant, Somboondee Restaurant. Some will thought it’s the same restaurant, or it’s the branch but it’s a complete rip off of the real Somboon restaurant with a ‘dee’ added to the name, the price at Somboondee is blood sucking expensive and I’ve been there few years back.

But now we are clever already, we know the real curry crab is Somboon Seafood. We took a cab there and costs 100 Baht. You can also take MRT to there and get off at Hwai Khwang station.

Somboon Seafood is a very famous restaurant in Bangkok, specially famous with their “Bangkok’s best fried crab curry”, so it’s a place that must no be missed when visiting Bangkok. The restaurant is so big that it spans 3 floors of seating. The dinner was awesome and love the curry crab.

This is the curry crab. It’s nice to eat it with steamed rice. If you are lazy and want to skip the haze of eating crab, order the one without shell.

A kind of vegetable that tasted old, and crunchy. Like it because there’s many garlic.

Noodle with goose feet.

Desserts! It’s the yummy mango with glutinous rice. A famous Thai desserts.

Bangkok: KuangHeng – Famous Chicken Rice

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Trip: KuangHeng – Famous Chicken Rice (Day 3) – When you are in Thailand, you will think about Thai food like tomyam kung, pad thai, mango with glutinous rice. Those are authentic Thai food. But have you heard before that Bangkok has good Chinese-style chicken rice? Yes there is one that I know which is located right opposite of Platinum Fashion Mall.

We went there during our shopping break at Platinum Fashion Mall for lunch. In fact, every time mom and dad go to Bangkok, they will visit this chicken rice shop. The chicken rice shop is called Kuang Heng.

It is an old restaurant and has opened for more than 70 years, since 1932 and quite famous among the local. Same like our Hainanese chicken rice, the rice it self is chicken flavoured and they serve steam white chicken. What’s special about it is the chilli sauce which taste a little spicy and sour. The sauce is nice to eat with rice and the chicken.

They even have a Facebook page too! That’s our lunch for day 3 in Bangkok.

Outside of the shop.

Steamed white chicken hanging on the hook.

The black thing is chicken liver.

This is a special dish like our chai kuay (vegetable cake) but with chicken inside.

The special chilli sauce.

Must eat on Pratunam Road.

So after checking out the special Valentine’s Day menu, what do you think? Hahaha. It must be expensive right? Though, you don’t really want to spend your Valentine’s Day with your love one at the hawker stall or fast food corner.

For other alternative, or a cheaper one, you can cook a candle light dinner at home, or visit some other restaurant that offer normal day menu. I kinda dislike when restaurants offer only Valentine’s Day menu during that day, it lessen the choice of ordering other food.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I’ll tell you where I celebrate my V Day few days later. Hehe.

Bangkok: Green Shirt T&K Seafood, Yaowarat Chinatown

Click here for more posts about my Bangkok Trip.

Bangkok Trip: Green Shirt T&K Seafood, Chinatown (Day 2) – Do you know Thailand actually has got a lot of good food and delicacies to eat? I feel Thai food has the closest taste to our local Malaysia food because of the spiciness and the ingredient use.

One food corner that must not miss out when visiting Bangkok, Thailand is the T&K Seafood in Yaowarat Chinatown. The T&K Seafood is also known as “Green Shirt” seafood in Chinatown because that all of their worker wears a sporty green polo tee as uniform. And what’s interesting is, located right across the street is the R&L Seafood which all of their worker wears red colour uniform.

Obviously, both of them are competing with each other, though T&K Seafood is the original and more famous one. Nevertheless, both of them are always full-house when night falls.

Red shirt gang of R&L Seafood.

We went there with a cab. The cab charged us 200Baht at first, and after some bargain, it’s 150Baht. Upon arriving, I was pretty amazed that the number of people waiting for a place to sit. It’s very happenings, very full and very cool. It’s not only famous to the tourists, but also among local Thai too.

T&K Seafood is like our local’s zhu char / dai chao 煮炒 in Malaysia. It’s a stall by the roadside with many table placed by the road.

Vegetable that I don’t know #1.

Vegetable that I don’t know #2.

Deep fried garlic fish which is not really awesome.

Egg and crab meet in crab shell which tasted not bad, kinda special.

Curry crab which is nice to eat with white rice.

The food was serve in about 15 minutes, pretty fast given that there’s so many people at there. Overall the food taste is kinda good, and price wise not that pricey, but a little bit more than affordable. I think its famous-ness explains the price.

After our dinner at T&K Seafood, we went for a walk along Chinatown. It’s really fun to see huge Chinese sign hanging on the street, it doesn’t really feels like China to me because of the presence of Thai words and Thai people. Though, it’s pretty cool. Not many shops were open, but Chinatown in Bangkok is famous for street food like Wantan Mee, Chinese desserts like bird nest, shark fins soup, tang yuan and more.

We actually stopped by a desserts stall by the road side and have 2 bowl of desserts. The tang yuan was pretty spicy because of the ginger soup and the bird nests was sweet and nice. Both for only 150Baht.

So, Chinatown is basically more about Chinese food, seafood, desserts and shark fins soup. That’s all here.

Next stop: We will go to Talad Rot Fai, a old train warehouse turn into a retro antique night market.

Oishi Frozen Yogurt At 1st Avenue, Penang

[This is an invited food session]

Oishi Frozen Yogurt At 1st Avenue, Penang – Frozen yogurt, frozen yogurt. oh, frozen yogurt, they are now like everywhere in Penang. Many new outlets popping out here and there just like the Taiwanese bubble tea and desserts trend. People nowadays enjoy desserts very much.

On the highest floor in 1st Avenue, also known as Cloud 8, located right outside the Tanjung Golden Village Cinema, there locates a very new frozen yogurt kiosk with a very cute theme and name – Oishi Frozen Yogurt. Oishi Frozen Yogurt is the latest F&B outlet in 1st Avenue Mall and has just opened not more than a month.

I was very lucky to be invited to join a group of food bloggers to try out their yogurt. “Oishi” actually stands for yummy/delicious in Japanese and the pinkish setting portrays a kawaii cute theme of the mini desserts cafe.

Same as other yogurt shop, the yogurt is priced by the weight of the yogurt itself plus the topping. It costs at 49sen/10gms which is much cheaper than other yogurt shop in town. What’s interesting is that you can pick from more than 18 toppings for yogurt.

As for the yogurt choices, there’s four variety for you to pick from which are Peach, Raspberry, Original Yogurt, and a non-yogurt type, Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream.

After trying 4 of the yogurts, I found out that my 2 favourites are the Peach and Original Yogurt. They are sweet and sour which is just nice. Raspberry was rather sour to me and Belgian Chocolate is just another chocolate ice cream.

I get a chance to pick and mix the yogurts with any topping of my choice and the yogurt I took costs about RM12.25 which is rather reasonable with 2 yogurts and many toppings.

Well, do give it a try as I feel that the best part of it is the pricing and the peach yogurt which is just simply yummy.

Singapore Food: Lucky BBQ Seafood At Pasir Panjang Food Centre

Singapore Food: Lucky BBQ Seafood At Pasir Panjang Food Court – Who likes Singapore food? Please raise your hand. Just my 2 cents, no offence, I like Penang’s food more, Singapore’s food, SO-SO only. Perhaps Singapore’s Chili Crab is good? I don’t know, never try before. Singapore’s Hainan Chicken Rice is just another chicken rice, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong also has their very own Hainan Chicken Rice, so what’s so awesome about Singapore’s Hainan Chicken’s Rice? Other than that, I think what’s good in Singapore is those restaurants and cafes. Haha.

Let’s get into the main point. I believe Chinese in Malaysia always eat out at seafood corner, cook fried corner – 煮炒zhu char (hokkien), da chao (cantonese), zhu chao (mandarin), which is eating Chinese cook dishes in kopitiam or food court instead of a proper restaurant.

On my trip to Singapore, I’ve get to try the Singapore-style of zhu chao. Located in Pasir Panjang Food Centre, there’s a stall named Lucky BBQ Seafood. I get to know about it because my brother is a frequent visitor to this stall and it’s operated by my brother’s girlfriend’s aunty.

Our dinner started off with a plate of appetizer, called Gong Gong (Conch), it’s a kind of sea snail. The Gong Gong were just light cook and to be eaten with seafood chilli sauce. The way of eating it is like how we eat the balitong here. It’s my first time to try out this Gong Gong, quite special.

Up next is Fried Lala Clams with garlic and egg. Something different again because mostly what we had in Malaysia is spicy and sour style instead of garlic and egg which makes the taste lighter. This in fact brings out the taste of the seafood more.

Fried Garlic Sai Yeung Choi (watercress)(xi1 yang2 chai4), have you tried this before? I bet many of you haven’t tried before as watercress vegetable (sai yeung choi) mostly used for making soup.

Hotplate Bean Curd, something common here. In this little hot plate, you can find many bean curd toufu and mouth watering vegetable. A plate of this cost SG$10.

Another common thing can be found in Malaysia and Singapore, as well as everyone’s favourite – the Balachan Deep Fried Chicken, they call it the Prawn Pasted Chicken.

Lastly, the Sambal Crab, Lucky BBQ Seafood-style of Chilli Crab, which tasted sweet and spicy on the sauce. It’s something special again, with a little bit of spicyness, it tasted not bad.

Singapore’s Zhu Char is kinda different from Malaysia’s in term of food. Ask me which one I like, of course I will say Penang’s. There’s no curry fish head at there which I like. Share your views.

Famous Kimberley Street Douhua (Soybean Pudding)

Famous Kimberley Street Douhua (Soybean Pudding) – The night falls and the heart of George Town calms down a bit where working people went back home after a long day of work. Another life of the city wakes up at night – the hawker stalls. Kimberley Street, also known as Shantou Jie (mandarin), Shantou Kai (cantonese), Swatao keh (hokkien) came alive at night where hawker stalls park along the road, offering delicious Penang’s Char Koay Teow and more.

There is one lorry that has been there for many years and that’s the Kimberley Street Soya Bean & Douhua (Soybean Pudding). It sells soya bean milk, soybean pudding (douhua), soybean jelly, grass jelly drinks, as well as fruit yogurt.

Besides locating on Kimberley Street, the stall has another branch at the famous Gurney Drive Hawker’s area. A bowl of douhua/toufufa/doufuhua cost about RM2.50 and it serves your after-meal desserts well. The soft and smooth pudding with taste of bean and the mixture of black sugar syrup makes it pleasant to it. It splashes and break upon entering the mouth, sliding down smoothly into the throat. However, it doesn’t feel as smooth as the douhua that I had in Hong Kong.

Brother is a douhua fans, but not me, I just eat it for fun, some times. How about you?
