I Had These for Two Continuous Nights!

Today I’m going to share about some really good domestic experiences.

Almost eight out of ten times when we had to eat out or order take away for dinner, we (or I?) opt to get our food at this hawker centre in Tanjung Tokong, Penang, just right beside Penang Chinese Swimming Club. And almost 9.9 out of ten times when we were there, I had my favourite Tomyam noodles.

This week, for two continuous night, I had the exact same dishes. I’m starting to remember the girl who lived in Singapore for a few months and had Singapore fruit rojak for FOUR continuous days – yes that’s me, and I did fall sick after that.

The first dish is, of course, my favourite Tomyam noodles. Sour, spicy with lots of big prawns and chicken (I ordered without fish).

This is the stall selling the heavenly dish. That’s the stall owner on the right. I heard that her wife, the chef, is from Thailand.

And lately I’ve been quite into fried oyster, a typical hawker dish in Penang. The stall selling fried oyster in this hawker centre wasn’t really impressive, but about 1-2 months ago, I *think* they’ve either changed the owner or done something with the existing chef, and I’m loving this mouth-watering dish from them!

This is the stall selling my favourite fried oyster.

So if anyone of you happen to visit Penang (or if you are in Penang but have never been to this hawker centre), this is how it looks like. It’s just right along the main road of Tanjung Tokong so you are not likely to miss it. The name? Restoran Tanjung Tiga Dua Lapan a.k.a Restaurant Tanjung Three-Two-Eight. Teehee.

My Heavenly Tomyam (I).

I have finally decided to start blogging about my favourite Tomyam in town. Just when I’ve made the decision, I realised that there just aren’t a lot of my favourites in town. lol. Well let’s see how far it’ll go. I certainly haven’t tasted all in Penang so any info contribution from time to time is highly appreciated. :D

OK enough of crap. First destination. Lao Sher Tea House along Jalan Burma. It definitely IS a tea house, but they serve very nice snacks in the afternoon and Thai food at night. My first time there was many years back. I was so addicted to their ‘man-tou’ back then. :)

Many of their dishes are nice. For instance, this Tomyam Fried Rice is my colleague, CL’s favourite.

Darl ordered Pineapple Fried Rice during our recent visit there. Tasted nice too.

And certainly, my Tomyam maggie. It’s spicy, hot, sour… ooo I’m drooling already! >.<

It looks small in the photo but the portion was actually quite generous. With big prawn and squids. Well it used to have more prawns and squids but you know, with all the inflation bla bla bla. Anyway, this bowl of heaven is only RM5, I think it’s just worth the money. :)

During our last visit there we ordered two side dishes as well.

Lobak.

Thai Chicken Wing.

Both are not really that impressive, but I remember they serve really nice fried squid, which we left out that night. :)

And here is the map to the place. It’s somewhere before reaching Union Primary School.
