I seldom ordered char koay teow for my breakfast. It’s too oily! However, sometimes I cannot control myself and have it in the end.

This char koay teow is from the Kampung Jawa. The seller like to serve the char koay teow in one side of the plate. Sorry, the photo was not clear. I think my hand shake a bit while taking the photo.

I ordered koay teow mix with noodle. I purposely move the serving into the middle of the plate.

It costs RM3.30. It’s quite expensive! The prawns are big! Next time I must bring Akira to go with me. He didn’t eat prawns so he can give them to me! Hahaha.

Big prawns huh.

I went to Sunshine Market to have my lunch on May 13. I went there because of the drinks, not the food. Want to know what drink is that? Here you go.

It’s the red bean. It’s a very yummy drink! If you happen to go Sunshine Market, you need to order this. But, not all the stalls are selling this. You need to ask!

I have economic rice on that day. Just a normal one.

On the day I have the char kuey kak, I bought the ban chang kueh too.

The stall is in the Terengganu Road market. I think it’s called Taman Free School instead since it is written on the stall.

Nowadays, you can add many stuffs inside the ban chang kueh: tuna, sausage, banana, chocolate, cheese, and etc. For me, I still prefer the ban chang kueh with corn, yummy yummy. It’s been a while I didn’t have the ban chang kueh with egg. I will try it during my next visit.

Oppps, I have eaten a bit before this photo is taken. Hehehe.

I have this cucur udang with Akira and Siang, when Siang came to meet us. Before we brought him to this place, Akira and I have already gone to the coffee shop and have lunch.

This cucur udang is ordered by Akira and I paid for it. I forgot how much it costs anymore.

Overall, it is just a normal cucur udang, not really special to me.

I have lunch in Gurney Plaza after watching the movie Forbidden Kingdom on April 18. I bring my mum along. 🙂

I don’t know what to have for lunch. Chopper Board is just 1 or 2 floors below the cinema, so we just have the lunch there.

I ordered the Black Pepper Chicken Rice Set and my mum asked for Spicy Bake Chicken Rice Set. The set is come with the ginseng drink, either cold or hot. we asked for hot.

The food was OK, reached the average level. The black pepper is quite hot and spicy, but it was just nice. I’m not sure about the spicy bake chicken. I didn’t try it.

Chopper Board has a few branches in Penang: Bukit Jambul, Queensbay, Tesco and Gurney.

One of my dinner during my night shift. I went to the coffee shop in Pekaka, the one with the famous fried rice king. I didn’t ordered fried rice king since I was not really hungry on that day. I have Char Hor Fun instead.

The Char Hor Fun looks so small plate. If you are hungry, better don’t order this. You will still feel hungry if you only eat this.

I went to Terengganu Road Market the other day with my mum. I want to have the Char Kuey Teow there. But, too bad that the stall didn’t open on that day. No choice la, I have another char kuey instead, Char Kuey Kak. No fish, got prawn also never mind. Hahaha.

This is the stall. For Char Kuey Kak, the wok is very big if compare to Char Kuey Teow.

Here comes the Char Kuey Kak. Looks so yummy.

A closer look on Char Kuey Kak.

Overall, it’s just normal. Not very good and not very bad. I forgot the price. I think less than 2 dollar. Do you have any Char Kuey Kak which is very famous? Do let me know.

Nowadays, parents with kids will continue to work. They will hire babysitter or nanny to take care of their child. If the babysitter is the person u know, it will be much better. However, sometimes we cannot tell how good is a person just from the outlook. Maybe they will treat your child badly when you are not around.

Parents who hire the nanny or babysitter should install the so call nanny camera inside the house in order to watch over their kids. With the nanny camera, nanny or babysitter will not do something bad to the children, since they know someone is watching over them.

Normally, parents will not want to install the nanny camera if they have a choice. From newspaper, we can see so many cases that the nanny is abusing the kids and treating them badly. This is the only way to watch over the children and make sure they are safe under the care of babysitter.

I got this Sausage McMuffin for free. McDonalds is doing a promotion, you will get a coupon to have this Sausage McMuffin for FOC (without paying or buying anything) when you purchase anything from McDonalds. The promotion is already ended.

A closer view.

McDonalds breakfast is nice especially the big breakfast. But, it cannot be taken everyday, only once in a blue moon. 🙂

It seems to be a tradition for us to bring our China’s counter part to have a steamboat dinner. Normally, we will go to the same restaurant near Penang Plaza. But this time, one of my colleague recommend us to go to a new steamboat restaurant, Town Steamboat Restaurant, which is located in Macalister Road, opposite the UMNO building.

Town Steamboat Restaurant serves all kind of steamboat food. You can get anything you want, as much as you like! It’s a buffet style. If you are hungry and cannot wait for the food to be cooked, you can get the ready food such as dim sum, egg tart, nugget, fried wantan and satay.

The steamboat will divide into 2 parts, one with the normal soup and one with tomyam. I like the tomyam soup. 🙂 Around the bowl, you can fried your food on top.

For the drinks, you can choose ribena, orange juice or even Chinese tea! The best part is the ice cream. I think most of you know me well, I like ice cream very much. I take the ice cream twice. Hehe. Many people are queuing up just to get the ice cream.

The restaurant is crowded with people. There is one thing that I don’t like about this restaurant: smoke is everywhere. This happens to most of the steamboat restaurant.

The price is cheap, 17.90 for weekdays and 19.90 for weekends, per person. For senior citizen who is above 55 years old, the price will be 12.90 for weekdays and 13.90 for weekend. If you are shorter, you even can get a lower price. I’m not kidding, look at the menu below.

Overall, the food is good. The service is not bad. The location is good as well. They even have a parking lot at the back. I will definitely go there again in the future.

After I have the Fettes Park Western Food with Akira, we went to eat again the very next day!

I wanted to go to PC fair on that day. Akira said he will go as well. I asked him to come fetch me and he agreed. However, he let me waited for around 1 hour before he reached. =.=” It was 3pm and he still not having his lunch yet. That is why we went to the Bukit Jambul Pan Mee before going to the PC fair. Why we called it Bukit Jambul Pan Mee? Is it because the coffee shop is located opposite Bukit Jambul?

As usual, Akira was taking the photos non stop. I need to thank him since I will use his photos instead of mine. The photos that I took were not good at all. 🙁

Anyway, we need to order the food ourselves by writing on the paper! It’s the same as those restaurant outside!

The workers are preparing the Pan Mee. Nowadays, you can see a lot of Indonesia maid are helping to cook as well in a coffee shop. It seems like the boss has passed the “kung fu” to them.

This is the one ordered by Akira, a big one.

For me, I only ordered the small size. It turned out to be a really small bowl!!!

The Pan Mee is not bad but it’s too black! I think they put a lot of the thick soy sauce.

P/S I’m not sure Akira will kill me or not since he not yet posted on this and I used most all of his photos! Hahaha. I don’t think he will, he is a nice guy!

During my day shift of working day, I will go to Kampung Jawa for breakfast with friends. We normally will go to the coffee shop near Petronas. But on that day, we tried the one in another corner.

I ordered Curry Mee and Kopi O. There is a stall selling “You Char Kueh”. I bought one and share with my friend.

The Curry Mee served in a small portion with additional ingredients in it: chicken meat and fish balls. I still prefer the one in the coffee shop near Petronas. For the “You Char Kueh”, it’s not crispy enough. However, Kopi O + “You Char Kueh” = the perfect match ever!

There will be time that I was not able to go out and have lunch due to too many job and not enough people handle it. Normally, I will ask my colleague to help me buy the food for me, either fried rice or chicken rice.

Last Tuesday, my colleague needs to go to BJ during lunch time to buy some stuff. I asked her to buy me lunch. My colleague bought me Kam Heong Fried Rice from the coffee shop opposite BJ Complex. I never tried that before.

Out of my expectation, the Kam Heong Fried Rice was very nice! Anyone try this fried rice before?
