Ecco Cafe (2)

 Fussy M decided to go for her favourite pesto @ Ecco Cafe and as for me, my chance to try something new ;ie; salvatore.  But we are disappointed with the presto, it is a bit too dry this time and taste is not as good as the previous time.  Luckily, my salvatore is nice !  As expected, the cafe is fully packed when we arrived around 8.00 pm.

Lunch @ Hei Yeong Seng Restaurant @ Penang Plaza

Heard about this restaurant which has just started operation end of last year and this is the first time I've been here at the invitation of Fussy M's old friend.  Highly recommended by her daughter, Mun. 

Hei Yeong Seng 4 combintation.

Braised shark's fin soup with crabmeat

My koay teow soup food trail

My koay teow soup food trail

Before this, I never like to try koay teow soup  because I found the soup to be very plain and tasteless except for those instant cooked koay teow soup.  Moreover most of the koay teow soup is either served with chicken  or pork.   However, I have stopped going for ‘instant’ partly due to Fussy M’s influence and after tasted the ‘Khoo Kongsi’ koay teow soup recommended by Amanda S many years ago.

Discovery trail: (at Carnovan Street, opposite the police quarters)

Discover this duck meat koay teow soup stall unintentionally while I came here for my favourite ‘long lost’ wan tan noodle stall that had moved from

Cintra street

.

This is the first duck meat  koay teow soup I like and provoke my enthusiasm of duck meat koay teow soup.  Although the soup base is duck meat but the meat served is chicken meat, unlike Khee Hsiang Loong’s.

 Reasonable pricing.

p.s. Coffee and hot almond drink at this shop

not bad. 

p.p.s I am unable to get a pic of this stall anymore as I found out that the place has been closed and I wonder where has it relocated to? 

Food trail on duck meat koay teow

Discovery trail:

From Kwong Wah Yit Poh’s recommendation and being my favourite ever since.

Koay teow soup comes with duck meat and if requested,  duck gizzard is added with

extra cost, of course.

Very very reasonable pricing.

p.s.  coffee from this shop not bad.

p.p.s Price w.e.f. 01.01.11 RM2.50 onwards

Food path - Duck meat koay teow soup @ Lrg Ngah Aboo

Found this stall at a small lane called Lorong Ngah Aboo (which I have never heard of during my entire life until now) along Kimberley street (near to Carnavon street ) while on our way to Chowrasta market.

Intended to give it a try although it cost a bit more then my other favourite duck meat koay teow stalls,  however, all tables have been taken so we decided to move on.


Discovery trail:

Actually we are on the mission to savour another one of my favourite duck meat koay teow soup at Carnavon Street (opposite the police quarters) because Fussy M insisted their soup tasted better than Khee Cheang Leong’s. However , the shop was closed due to Raya Haji holiday. Real disappointment, should have followed my original plan ie; check out the Yong Tau Foo stall at Air Itam road.

According to the operators the stall opens everyday but might close any day due to unforseen circumstances such as raining days

Min pricing : RM3.00

Side orders are available such as dark sauce chicken feet, etc.,

p.s.more duck meat compared to Khee Cheang Leong's and internal organs is added.

Gathering @ New World Park

New World Park used to be fun park as early as  1930's.  There were cinema, restaurants, operas and all sorts of games and shows.   Fussy M and friends from that generation had a lot of fond memories of their childhood there !  The place had been left abandon for a few decades and it has been revitalised a few years ago and it has been turned into a f&b hot spot now. 

Ecco Cafe @ Chulia Street

Spotted this cafe for quite some time and decided to visit this place one of the days... as I thought should give it a try after all it manages to 'survive' until now...so there must be a reason it still stands .... and it seems getting 'packed' every evening I pass by.  So, take the opportunity to ask SJ to dinner to celebrate her 'belated' birthday at this place.  It is open 11.00 am to 2.30 pm for lunch and 7.00 pm to 10.30 pm for dinner.  Noticed that this place closed on Monday and Tuesday (lunch). 

The pasta is superb! 

SJ's trying out her photographic skills with my camera.

The place looks cozy.  It is situated in one of the old shop houses along Chulia Street; backpackers' favourite area. The place looks like its original, ie. the tiles, even the old signage is not removed ! ; no renovation done as this place used to be a traditional coffee-shop and now it leads a new life !!
