Fish Head Noodles, Penang

On a visit to Penang, our driver took us to Wong Chau Jun Restaurant at Jalan Rangoon for a lunch of fish head noodles. Wah......one of the best fish head noodles I've ever tasted. I love it that it doesn't have a fishy smell and taste unlike some fish head noodles I've tried. The soup is full of flavour. A perfect blend of spicy and sour with a hint of lemongrass flavour. Yum, yum. The fish, too, is fresh and tasty. Just thinking about it makes my saliva flow.

Kedai Makan Choy Kee, Sungkai

On our way back from Kuala Lumpur one weekend, we detoured to Kedai Makan Sungkai to 'ta pau' (takeaway) their very popular braised pork knuckles. If you are not planning to eat it on the same day, better get  a frozen one. The meat is tender and full of flavour and it is not oily either. Perhaps the cooking method has removed most of the oil from the pork knuckle??? And.....the sauce......ooohh, I love the sauce, especially poured over my rice. Perfect blend of ingredients. Yum, yum.
Kedai Makan Choy Kee is located at Jalan Besar, Sungkai.

Food For Thought (34)

We are teaching our girls how to avoid rape but are we teaching our boys not to rape????? Which is more important???? Hmmm..........

Mua Chee, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

Seeing a crowd at the mua chee stall while nosing around Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur, we decided to join the crowd. After all, a crowd at a food stall usually means the food there is good, right? So, we bought a pack of mixed flavours mua chee to share. Even though it is supposed to be a mixture of six flavours, none of us could tell the difference between them. Something wrong with our taste buds????? Anyway, flavours aside, the texture of the mua chee is good. Slightly chewy and not too soft or too hard. Good.

Aberdeen Cafe, Ipoh

In conjunction with Mother's Day (I know, it's long gone), we went for lunch at Aberdeen Cafe at Jalan Medan Ipoh 3, Bandar Baru Medan Ipoh. Dad's order of Oriental Fried Rice was quite good, he said. Tasty with enough 'wok hei'. Meanwhile, Mum liked her Wat Tan Hor too. Just 'ngam' for her. The gravy was not too watery and neither was it too thick. Not starchy either. The Tuna Red Spaghetti got the thumbs up from sis. Yum, yum. My order of Assam Laksa was 'hou sik' buuttt......this must be the spiciest Assam Laksa I have ever tasted and I am someone who chews on chilli padies (is there such a word......plural for chilli padi?) Made my whole mouth burn leh. But I still liked it, heh. I have a feeling this will be my favourite item in the menu.
