HOCK to Sungai Petani .. famous Ice Blended ...


A town in Kedah , Sungai Petani you can find 3 stalls of famous food that is in HoChiak Programe.
Our first stop is to this 30years or more history of Ice Blended Peanut.
The ice blended was so good and it taste exactly like the COLD version of Peanut Soup ( Fah Shang Wu )
The 'blended drinks' will come with coco powder which gives more Kick to the drinks

You can find the stall selling Laksa too. The Laksa is diffrent from the one we had in Penang Island. The noodles is made from Rice flour and the texture is a bit harder. The soup was very sour .. which is really good ...
Even a 45min journey from Penang island at RM9.00 for the toll including the bridge RM5.60 is worth spending...
This stall is behind the SP Bus station at SP Town ...

Hubby brought me to this cafe , Liverpool Cafe at Batu Lanchang road for our wonderful supper on Saturday night, after our beloved nephew Kevin's concert at Min Sin School.

The place was so crowded because of the Live Football Match during that time and also the Nasi Lemak lovers. There are Char Koay Teow Goreng and a Burger stall too ...

Hock to Kampung Malabar ...

This stall was infroduced by our Super Gow Chiak Gang President Keith.
I was so suprised to see the long sitting customers waiting to be served everytime I went there.

This is the normal Mee Suah with Bak Choh (minced Meat )
The soup was good and the Bak Choh was soft ... Really a Must...
If you can take the Pig's spare parts, then you should order the full package'
You will find the brains , kidney , and etcs.....

There is one of the famous Roti Canai stall at Teluk Bahang... opposite Khaleel after Mutiara Hotel.
This small Mamak cafe, Ibrahim brings lots of memories for Hubby....
He used to come with his dad and mum and DURING THE BUTTERFLY FARM JOGATHON many many years back ..hahahah
So finally I am here with him and with my buddies .....
The roti canai indeed was very crunchy and nice ... Yummy .....

The Roti Canai ... nicely goreng and very nice and filing Rm0.80 per piece.
The VEGE curry that goes with the roti and Keith and Hubby mentioned the Fish Curry was good, but for me I dont really like it because of the Fishy smell ... :)
The Teh Tarik kurang manis was also very good......
Nice place for good Roti Canai !

Dinner at Paddington House of Pancakes

..Countdown to my birthday, since mum is not cooking dinner, me and hubby decided to go to QB for window shopping and dinner.
We chose this restaurant for our dinner.
They have 2 choices of seatings open air and inside the restaurant. For me I prefered to dine inside rather than outside merely because of privacy and cleaniness.
Suprisingly when we walked towards the restaurant, we were stop by the waitress telling us the section was closed... ( ha ha ha ) ... So the guided us to the outside table, I think we cant choose not too .. so ... :)
We ordered our food and really disappointed with the service and the food presentations, which the coffee spills all over the cup and saucer and the dessert than comes together with the main course. Reason why is they already prepared the dessert and unable to hold on till our main course finished.
Luckily the food was good, so we really dont bother about the service standard.
Hubby Main course, sorry I forgotten the name, was too disturbed by the ... U know what
This is mine, the sauce was good ....
My blended berries with mango drinks, Double Thumbs Up !!!
Can you see the messy cup ... Oh My god ! The waiter hands might be shaking ... ha ha ha

The dessert " Tressure Box" This is really good. The portion was big and very nice... Will try the next round.. But hope this time I am " allowed" to be inside ... ha ha ha

Hock .. to New Cathay Pulau Tikus 24th Oct

Since is my big day, so hubby agreed to eat what I wanted too ... The funny thing Isuddenly have the urge for Hokkien Mee.. So thinking for around 1/2 hour on where to eat, we decided to go to New Cathay, Pulau Tikus ..
The soup was good not so prawn-sy smell .. hahahaha , Hubby ordered the Loh Soup mixture . Wow really delicious ... and I have satisfied my sudden urge for Hokkien Mee.
Hubby also ordered the famous curry mee. Suprisingly there is this long beans in the soup, which is special compared with other curry mee stall. This is a must to try ..
While we kacau-ing our friend Keith via sms on the nice food we had.. he called us to try to Roti Babi... This is the 1st time I tried this bread, and surprisingly it is not as oily as I imagined ...
