My Sunny T_T



I guess i was too "steam" about Suzuki Swift last few months... Mind was full of its sexy & horny pictures until...

My Sunny was so jealous go and "long" a Kelisa!!!


* My poor Sunny T_T

It all happen 2 weeks ago when i was turning into USM Sungai Dua's gate. I was on my way to Khaleel Restaurant to have my Yummy, Large, Cheap, with Tasty Mayo, Khaleel's Burger. Tired? + Pressure? + probably thinking too much of having a Suzuki Swift, i drift into USM without any hesitation. Great, i should have hesitated as i always do.

With 2 empty stomaches, me and lee eng had to go Balai and made report. I was fined RM300 and i haven't pay yet due to critical financial crisis. So anyone feel sympathy bout me, please spare me some change, or i will end up like Raymond Brothers... T_T

The next day i went to garage, ask them to quote the repairing cost. OMGggg (can't even speak fluently at this moment), at least 3k... The guy even told me buy a new one. Geram... After seeking opinion from "heroes from four directions", i decided to go Mainland to give another try.

Mainland is much much more cheaper, 1.4k a package deal. Nice. But still, my financial crisis even worse now.. So, again, please support me by donating money to this account, CIMB Bank, xxxx-00-xxxx-xxxx. Thank you.

Anyway, the luckiest is Lee Eng is sound and safe. The whole world / Sunny is nothing if she is not sitting beside me again... I will drive extremely careful next time. I promise.

Toh Soon Cafe - Roti Bakar

I always the biggest fans for food blogger. After reading Penang Tuapui and Lingzie , i had decided to try out the infamous roti bakar along Campbell Street last week (the day after 3 people were arrested under ISA), which i always pass by but never notice such a jewel.

This place is so hidden and you will never notice its presence unless you are a local. Basically, it is not a shop. It is more like a storage space which can be extended and transformed into a cafe. I don't know about foreigners, but for Malaysian, we know that only the stall in alley produce the best food in town. Dirty? Dark? Stomachache? Nah, we give no damn.









* Crowded even i went quite early at 830 a.m.

I heard Penang CM is the regular customer here. I did bump into him after having my Roti Bakar and went to the convocation of one of my friends. So next time if you want to meet him, do eat the roti bakar here.



What so special of their roti bakar? Even now people are using oven to make toast, they still follow the traditional ways to make Roti Bakar. Yup, charcoal. They toast bread wit charcoal. Whether Roti Bakar or steamed roti, they come with topping like butter, kaya, jam, and combination of them.

I had ordered 2 set of Roti Bakar with butter and kaya, and most importantly, the half-boiled eggs! You cannot eat Roti Bakar without it, it's like fish and water! Great satisfaction is what you get when u dip Roti Bakar into half-boiled egg! Yummy!





The Roti Bakar is crunchy, it never "kek" on your teeth. Lol! Credits on the bread's quality and the way they toast it. However, the kaya, i am not sure whether it's not thick enough or what, it definitely a let down. Improve on that please. Haha.

In short, it definitely an ideal place for breakfast. Roti Bakar with half-boiled eggs, to me, simply nostalgia! From their insist of using charcoal to toast bread, i can see they are serious in making Roti Bakar, money wise, our satisfaction are their main concern.

Today, i would say a food is delicious not because of its price, its fancy ingredients, but is the attitude of the chef who prepare it.

Super Hokkien Mee

Penangite favourite, Hokkien Mee! This shop is located behind Giant Supermarket along Jalan Burma. Let's say you are coming from the Jetty, Giant will be at your right hand side. But, do not pass Giant. There is a modern food court - New World Park, after the Park, the first junction where you can turn right, TURN! Go straight and turn left. Man, you have arrived one of the famous place for Hokkien Mee in Penang!



The legendary stall in inside One Corner Cafe. It has a funny name, "Super Hokkien Mee". So lame the name. (Photo "curi" from Lingzie's  Tummy Treat blog).





Actually i had come to this cafe twice. Previously i failed to taste on the Hokkien Mee, as the Boss said "Mee bo liao, come next time la". Bloody hell, that time was only 10am. I had been told this stall always want customer to wait at least 45 minutes for their mee (although they are not that busy!).



So, i come back again this time, at 845am. As expected, the Boss ask me to wait 1 hour. "Niama", i said to myself. Ok, fight you till the death! I wait! This time i bring myself newspaper and had ordered western breakfast while waiting for the mee.





After 45 minutes, the mee finally come. It looks normal.

It is spicy, spicy till i can't taste the prawn soup T_T and i was bathed in sweat.





This Hokkien Mee is famous, because of:



1) The boss LC, purposely make you wait.

2) It is dam spicy.

3) The boss put so many Ajinomoto inside, very thirsty after eating.



That's it, i would not come for the second time.

O Chean!!!

O Chean (oyster omelette) is Penang famous delicacy. Although you may get it in many places, but i would say the Penang's has it speciality. Erm, is it their oyster bigger and juicer? Erm... Maybe... I say special then special la, don't push me a!

Ok, this 2 stalls are famous, according to a blog that i read recently online (forgot who the blogger is, paise). The 1st shop is Seng Thor (成都) Coffee Shop at the junction of Carnarvon Road and Kimberly Street. Carnarvon road is also known as "coffin street" and the landmark of Kimberly Street is the biggest "colok" shop i never seen in other states, "Bee Chin Heong".



The next one will be "Bee San Coffee Shop" along Jalan Air Itam, near the "Chung Ling Secondary School" (also very near to Kek Lok Si and Bukit Bendera).



This 2 stalls are actually run by Brothers (Lim's brothers). Their oyster omelette is more to Malacca style, where they put "sambal" to fry along with the egg, but their oyster is far more bigger than Malacca's. Surprisingly their "tepung" (薯粉) are very less, unlike what we have at other stall, you can actually taste the lovely egg and oyster.



So, between this 2 stalls, whose better? I will say "Bee San" at Jalan Air Itam. Thumbs up! For your info, the O Chean stalls in "Seng Thor" start in the afternoon, while "Bee San" at night.
