3rd Road 888 (Sah Tiau Lor) Hokkien Mee @ Gat Lebuh Presgrave, Georgetown, Penang: Best Hokkien Mee As Voted By The Crowds Daily!

I knew it's hard for my blog readers to trust what I wrote whole-heartedly all the time. I also knew that most of us have different taste buds to begin with. So, today I will let the crowds to decide. More specifically, 'Penang crowds', who are the most food conscious and most particular about their foods. You can judge how great (not 'good' as most foods in Penang are good, hehe) a food stall/ restaurant in Penang by the size of the crowds at the food stalls/ restaurants.

And today, I'll recommend my favorite Hokkien mee a.k.a prawn noodles in Penang. Within the short section of Lebuh Presgrave road, there are a lot of Penang's favorite. Virtually all food stalls there are my favorites!!!

Just join me for a short write-ups on the food stalls before try it out yourselves!

Bangkok Lane Mee Goreng @ Georgetown, Penang: Best Mee Goreng!! (So Many BEST Foods In Penang Until I Lost Track!)

Another 'must-eat' food when you're in Georgetown, Penang, mee goreng!

Mee goreng is actually fried noodle. It is made popular here by Penangites of Indian-Muslim ethnic (or more commonly called 'Mamak'). Their foods command huge following because of their distinct, excitingly spicy (sometimes), super-delicious and palatable amongst Malaysians.

Penang Hot Bowl White Curry Mee @ Abu Siti Lane, Georgetown, Penang: Unique White Curry Mee, Only In Penang?

It was certainly interesting to know of the existence of''white' curry mee located at the center of Georgetown. So much so when I heard it taste great also! I went there without much delay...the same day actually:)

WHITE curry mee!! (RM5.50)

It was located along Abu Siti Lane, on your left once you're about 2/3 the length of the Abu Siti Lane road. Parking was slightly cumbersome but if you're lucky enough, you can park at this shop front, which can accommodate about 2-3 'small' cars. Otherwise, you'll have to park along the road, which I'm confident you won't be summoned during lunch hours (our policemen are so understanding, sometimes!).

Chicken Leg Loh Mee @ Medan Selera Taman Free School, Penang: Delicious, Yet Unpretentious:)

If you happen to be hungry and driving along Jalan Masjid Negeri and notice a McDonald along the road on your left side, don't eat at McDonald! You're in Penang wey...great foods is at every corner! Turn left into the road named Free School Road, drive along the road until you reach a roundabout and take notice of a food court there called Medan Selara Taman Free School next to the roundabout.

There are a few nice food stalls in it. I'll share with you one of it tonight, which is named Chicken Leg Loh Mee:)

Many thanks! I'm back:)

Well, it had been about half a year since I last blogged. I had this super tough exam in May 2012, which I passed 6 papers, yay! Worth all the sacrifices and all the overnight camping in McD (thanks for all the free coffee!).

So...why haven't I start blogging as promised, in June? Well, the exhaustion post-exam is just too much to bear. Plus, I'd been transferred to another center to further my training, which is busy throughout working hours, which then usurps all my energy at night.

I will try to blog if time and energy permits. Your support sustain me here. I'm encouraged by the overwhelming support despite this blog being inactive for so long. I even managed to reach 100 000 page views a few weeks ago!

Many thanks! I'm back:)

Restoran Choy Ki @ Jalan Rahang, Seremban: Best 'Kolo'/ 'Kon Lo' Mee, Plus 'Siew Yuk'/ Roasted Pork...And It's Not Even In Sarawak:)

More good...nope, great Seremban foods on the way. I was a little nostalgic these few days. Anyway, all these makan place are well known by Seremban-ians and need no further introductions to them.

'Kolo'/ 'Kon lo' mee, plus 'siew yuk'/ roasted pork (RM4.50), yummy!!! You wish it's in KL/ PJ or Ipoh or Penang, right? Nope, it's in Seremban, hehe:)

I'm writing this to let my KL/ PJ and friends from other states know that there are many great foods available in Seremban. So, between your travel to Ipoh, KL/ PJ or Melacca, do stop by at my hometown for these great foods, okay?:)

Tow Kee Hakka Mee, Seremban: Best Hakka Mee In Town...A Must Try In Seremban!

I'd seen people in KL/ PJ driving for an hour or so to reach their makan place in and around KL/ PJ (traffic jam!!). I'd recommend you to just driving down to Seremban, which takes only 45 minutes, to try some great food here instead! You won't regret it for sure:)

Hakka mee, plus loh shu fen (RM4 big, RM3.70 medium, RM3.30 small)

Let's just get straight to the point here. The best Hakka mee is undoubtedly Tow Kee Hakka Mee in Seremban. I'd been eating here for so many years already and the taste remained authentic, memorable and amazingly delicious.

Wedding Chapter, closed: Thank you, thank you!!!:)

It'd been very hectic for the past few months. I was busy preparing for my wedding. For someone who vowed not to follow the complicated traditional wedding and insist on a 'simple' wedding, I didn't manage to do that:)

Community Chest & You. Donations of groceries will go to shelter home, Rumah Agethian Shelter.

Somehow, I ended up doing most (if not all) that a traditional wedding should be. I'm proud to say that I went through almost all the 'compulsary' wedding thingy like parents-parents discussion, presentation of dowry and presents, tea ceremony, wedding receptions and of course, honeymoon too! I'm glad I did:)

Final Day Breakfast @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort: Best Buffet Breakfast???

Okay, it was time to go back now. It's the third and last day in Pangkor Laut Resort. They didn't allow me to extend my check out time, so I booked the 12pm motorboat to go back to Lumut. 

Feast Village @ Pangkor Laut Resort.

We arrived a little early to Feast Village as compared to yesterday and promptly chose a table in the middle of the restaurant, plus under the fan:)

Then, we start venturing to every food stations in Feast Village. Let me show you a few here:)

Porridge, no improvement at all. I hope with this blog entry, they'll do something with this food.

Yesterday, it was lousy dim sum. Today, it was lousy chee cheong fun. I think they should just close down this food section because they're giving Chinese food a bad name.

Dinner @ Uncle Lim's Kitchen: Finally, Pangkor Laut Resort: Best Chinese Cuisine?

After the disappointing lunch at Chapman's bar @ Emerald Bay, Pangkor Laut Resort, J and I continued with out sight seeing and photo taking session. I love the calmness here at Pangkor Laut Resort. Everything seemed to be passing so slowly. 

Dinner @ Uncle Lim's Kitchen

It makes you ponder about life and what I''m trying to achieve. But the most important is of course to spend quality time with my love one. J and I had been going through so much for the past few months planning for the whole marriage thingy. There were so much preparations and I'm glad all went on smoothly and as planned. Save to say that we even had a few surprises, one of being able to even eked out a decent surplus for our wedding, thanks to generosity of all who attended our wedding and contributed selflessly to us.

Another view of the restaurant. The rock here...what does it mean? I was going with the idea that this rock represent Pangkor Laut Resort but J was saying that these rocks were part of the rock that the restaurant was built on top of. Hm..seemed like she's right:). I'm not sure why this restaurant and most other restaurants in Pangkor Laut Resort were also so dark, just like having dinner in a bat cave!:)

Lunch @ Chapman's Bar, Emerald Bay, Pangkor Laut Resort: Lunch By The Beach:)

So, after a heavy breakfast, both J and I went expending all the calories gained. We walked around Pangkor Laut Resort and took lots and lots of photos (bringing the tripod was the best decision we made!). To travel to the other side of the island, we chose to go by 4WD because the roads were just too steep and narrow.

Lunch @ Chapman's bar, by the seaside:)

The ceiling was high and the restaurant was airy with sea breeze occasionally felt caressing the face:)

We just waited less than 5 minutes at the waiting point and then a 4WD came to pick us up and drove us to the other side of the island, the Emerald Bay, which took less than 3 minutes. We actually arrived here yesterday evening to see the sunset but wasn't able to see it because the view was blocked by trees.

Breakfast @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort: Diverse Varieties Of Wholesome Breakfast!

Alright, I chose to put the past/ yesterday behind me. Yesterday meals was rather bad and didn't even meet my bare minimum expectation. Anyhow, I head on to breakfast again on day two, after my morning bath tub dips, of course:)

Arrived at the same venue as yesterday's dinner @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort for breakfast, buffet style. Here are some foods I'd tried on my first buffet breakfast, just a short and brief write-ups. Enjoy!

Hash brown and sausage with cheese fillings. Hash brown was crispy and not too oily while the sausage was well-cooked with the cheese melted within. Nice.

This porridge was totally out, akin mixing rice with water and some small shredded pieces of crab meats. Tasteless.

Dinner @ Feast Village, Pangkor Laut Resort: Hoping For Great Dinner But Got Discriminated And Disappointed Instead!

After the walkabout around Pangkor Laut Resort, we went back for another dip at our bath tub (J and I would be dipping at out bath tub for another 6-7 times throughout our 3D2N stay here, hehe). After that, we put on our best attire to have our dinner at Feast Village @ Pangkor Laut Resort.

Feast Village @ Pangkor Laut Resort

Upon arrival to the Feast Village, we were directed to our table, which was facing the beach and at the side of the restaurant. J was okay with if but I can't stand eating in the near total darkness (I couldn't take nice photos of my foods also, right?). So, I requested to change table to a brighter one and also if possible, under the fan (there was one unoccupied table fitting my descriptions). I was ignored by the waiter/ waitress...so I changed table myself (5-star, konon! please note, PLR, if you're reading this!)

One page menu only for Chinese while the foreign tourists getting the whole menu. Gosh, I felt so discriminated! FYI, I ended ordering their 'Nasi Hidangan Satu & Dua', both RM85++ and I never get to see their full menu, sigh!

After lunch at Royal Bay Beach Club, both J and I went back to our room, unpacked and took a dip at the bath tub, plus relaxing salts and body wash (producing so much bubbles/ foam), hehe. It was so comfortable and relaxing. We were fully energized back in no time:).
