Food path - Hainanese dishes






Went to try out the spring roll at Hainanese Delights which is situated in 1926 Heritage Hotel along Burma Road last week after heard about the place through friend, blog and KWYP.

Just ordered something simple as there are only two of us to avoid wastage.










In fact, I found the hotel is cosy and quiet and it is a good bargain for the budget.


Fussy M's verdict on the food ? Spring roll is still not as authentic and original as the ones made by old Hainanese chef, tasted during teenage years. Curry Kapitan chicken, well, not as good as the ex-employer's.
Thumb down for the fried rice although it seemed yummy to me ! Well, as I have always been known as 'the cow grazing the peony', still have a lot to learn !

My own verdict is simple; anything that taste good but won't feel thirsty afterwards is good !
However, just the usual case, I did feel a bit thirsty later.

Roast pork and BBQ pork
















Know about this roast pork stall years ago and being there once with Kaki Bola.
But I didn’t get the chance to try the roast pork since it was sold out by the time
we reached there. Read about this place again in KWYP and in What2see:Best of Penang Food! blog, so I decided to try out the roast pork with Fussy M.

Got there quite early, ie. , slightly before 12 noon but the place already packed.
Luckily, we quickly got a place and waited for about half an hour. The bbq pork
is nice and the roast pork skin is crispy. The roast duck is very so-so.

However, the take-aways is not as good as when we ate at the shop. As expected,
the roast pork skin is no more crispy and portion is given not as good as the one we ate earlier.


p.s. I really salute the seller's fantastic memory.

Lorong Kulit flea market

















        Guess what is this for ?





The seller specially asked me to take a photo of this antique iron horse toy !

He explained that kids from well off families would played with the iron horse while some less well off ones would get a wooden horse for their kids !
