Herbal duck soup mee suah @ Rifle Range Rd Junction

This place is always crowded in the morning although on a working day.  So curiousity kills...the greedy pig..or rather dog?  Stopped by after 9am the first time and the soup was sold out.  But the stall serves a different menu for 2nd round  which is nasi lemak for that day.  Managed to taste the herbal duck meat soup during my 2nd attempt.  Price is Rm5.00 onwards.  Herbal soup base is the same but there is choice to choose either duck meat or  drumstick or chicken or pork and use either mee suah or bee hoon (rice vermicelli).  The soup smells good but I think it go better with rice.  Ha..Ha...me being a rice bin. The stall operator told me that they starts seaming the soup since 5 am for at least 2 hours.  Not very impressive as I order duck meat instead of drumstick thinking that it would be sliced or shreded meat but it seemed like the whole thing just dump into the bowl.  (I thought it would be something like the duck meat koay teow soup style).  This stall has a lot of followers every morning without fail.  The place is closed on Wednesday.

Heard that this stall originally operated at Race Course Garden area but the lease ended and so they moved to this place early this year.

It's Year End !!!

Let's party  and Cheers !!!!!

Favourite Wan Tan Noodle

Although I find that the amount of ingredients is not as last time, but this is still my favourite Wan Tan noodle stall on whole of Penang because I can still find the 'original' flavour and the wan tan fillings are better than any other stalls.  Normally, there is almost 'nothing' wrapped in the wan tan skins but this one , at least I can still savour the minced pork; used to have water chestnut too last time !!  The sui-kow dumplings are filled with water chestnust and shrimps plus the pricing is cheap and nice.  However, due to the massive increase of cost of food, the seller has reduced the size of the sui-kow dumplings and the ingredients in the wan tan dumplings , cost-cutting effect !!!!  At least he has maintained the pricing at very reasonable price !   Actually, I have stopped going to this stall since last year because the taste was not up to what it was used to be and totally disappointed with it.  However, I decided to try again in the 2nd half of 2011 as I discovered that the 'father' is in charge now. So I have better faith with him and his skills and at least I am quite please with it now. 
p.s. the stall has moved back one of the coffee shop along Carnavon Street ; next to the infamous fried koay teow coffee shop.

p.p.s.  This stall has ceased operations since October.

Penang Prawn Noodle

Seeing my cravings with Hokkein Mee @ Prawn Noodle lately, Fussy M made me some home-made prawn noodles.  But substituted hookien noodle with Maggi instant noodle.  Whatever..as long as the soup is nice and without msg, I am fine with it.

David Brown's Restaurant (pt 2)

The cream of mushroom is marvellous!  (as good as Mizzi's)

Vegetarian spaghetti bolognese

Chicken Maryland.  (the meat not too hard  or overfried)

Supposed to be a romantic place for couples but I don't like the colour!  Black and white combination ; like mourning ! Choi ! Dai Kat Lei See!  Luckily Fussy M didn't notice !  Choi ! Touchwood!!

A superb place for a quiet afternoon tea.

Wish I can laze here for whole afternoon till sunset.

Ride round the hill top.  The Nepalese driver knows about the bangalows better than the locals.  What a shame !
