Nasi Kandar Beratur @ Penang, Malaysia

Still from my Penang trip, must do is a good nasi kandar(malaysian indian muslim mixed riced). And this one was highly recommended for a good friend of mine. It's so infamous you have to literally queue when it opened. And best part it only opens late at night.

This placed opens at 10pm, and yes i do not wanna queues. So this picture was taken *ahem* 3am, i didnt wanna queue had to go few places to stay awake.

And this is the aftermath., it looks damn messy, but hey it lives up to its name. People queue for this nasi kandar, I have to say this is the bomb. I'm just happy i don't have to queue, trick is go late. The mixture of curry on rice, this is one nasi kandar i would check out repeatly in Penang.

Ah Leng Char Koew Teow @ Jalan Dato Keramat, Penang.

Another hawker dish die die must try in Penang is the Char Koew Teow(ckt). If you google char koew teow in Penang, this is one of the top stalls mentioned in numerous of blogs, and this is how i chance upon this ckt.

A bit expensive for a plate of ckt, but how this stalls differs, you have the option to add mantis prawns. Unique and worth it.

Sorry for the bad picture, but i was in a hurry to taste the ckt. Taste wise, a very good indeed plate of ckt. Nice wok hei, generous portions, and carbo laden plate. Good stuff.

Asam Laksa @ Air Itam Market, Penang, Malaysia.

If your in Penang, without no doubt one of the food that is definitely on the list is asam laksa. Sour tamarind, spicy yet robust taste. It's good stuff.

This stall was introduced to me from a friend, and yes it's one of the famous ones.

This place is a fast turnover. Grab a table, order your laksa, and in a few minutes you'll be served.

Lip smacking goodness. I'll guarantee you'll perspire washing this dish down.

A dallop of prawn paste/otak udang(the black sauce) coupled with slices of chilli on top of grounded fish flesh with other garnishings. This is one asam laksa, that i will always come back if i ever go to Penang. Old school setting, by the road side, crammed tables. Reminds me of my recess break in school canteen days. Wash the spicyness down with a glass of a fresh sugar cane juice.

Ipoh Hor Fun @ Restoran Thean Chun, Ipoh, Malaysia.

Old school, simple ingredients, hearty broth yet delicious with silky smooth koew teow/hor fun.

This particular stall in restoran Thean Chun in Ipoh serves one of the best ipoh koew teow soup or hor fun.

They have other stalls as well, worth checking out, especially the satay and poppiah, last i remembered. I was alone and in a rush, plus the place was packed, only ordered the ipoh hor fun, and was sitted in the next door coffee shop.

Simple looking dish ain't it. Strips of shredded chicken meat, on top of silky koew teow in a delicious soup with a hint of prawn stock. I can get used of having this for breakfast everyday. Comfort food. Now the other star dish u have to order is the beansprouts/taugeh. Crunchy taugeh dazzled in light soya sauce, and i think was a bit of sesame soil. Excellent.

Restoran New Hollywood @ Ipoh, Malaysia.

Woo hoo, one of my favourite breakfast place in Ipoh.

Basically it's a coffee shop with a few hawker stalls in it. Nice, and a hit with the local crowd, always packed.

Fried lor bak, a must order to share before your main meal. Just choose your items, and the Uncle will fry it and send it to your table, the sauce is excellent.

Char koew teow, now for a non pork char koew teow (by the way, all the stalls here are non pork), this dude knows how to fry his ckt. Excellent piece, nice wok hei, and the chilli sauce is awesome.

The other stall i normally order from is the Hong Kong chee cheong fun, but on this particular day it was closed. Good stuff as well.

Mee Poh Ikan Bakar @ Gourmet Square, Ipoh, Malaysia.

Ok, time to start cracking, new year, about time i post this up, collected from last quarter of eating spree.

Gourmet square consists of rows of hawkers. Ambience is good, perfect to chill out with a bunch of friends or families, knock back with a few bottles of beers, catch up, chit chat and enjoy good hawker food. A stall in particular is the Mee Poh Ikan Bakar stall. Without fail, this place tops for my ikan bakar in ipoh. The food has been consistent taste all this years and i keep going back every time i have the chance to.

Grilled Stingray, with the side sauce (ito die for!), just squeeze the green lime alot and enjoy. The other dish is a must order is the grilled squid/sotong. Although i always wished they give more sotongs than the vege, but hey i guess its inflation.

Just pick any hawker food that excites your palate there, i would say the quality is good. Another stall to watch out for is the Satay Endut, that shall be in my future post.

ps. ok sorry for the blur address, but you ought to google the place. Always know how to go but don't know the address lol.

L'Entrecote @ Suntec City Singapore

happy new year everyone, may 2014 be a good year for you! It's quite rare i eat lunch outside during weekdays, and luckily its a public holiday.

friends keep telling me about this place that serves steak and fries(with unlimited refills of fries).
and boy its worth it.

Talk about timing, their sets are reasonably priced. Opted for the light set.

Salads you can't go wrong normally. Decent portion, just nice.

Now for the main star, chose medium rare. Steak was good, sauce was lovely. Some will cream me for eating steak with mustard, but i am a kampong(village) boy at heart, who cares. They do provide the yellow mustard, but i prefer the ones with seeds in it. Now i have to say, its been quite some time i had nice french fries, these ones are crunchy and thin. It's good and it's limitless you can order. All in all fairly priced meal, and i couldn't finish the light portion. Damn, and i didn't even had a chance to refill the fries.
