Tanjung Tokong « My Dog Diary

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 (II).

I just realised it’s been almost two months since I blogged about my favourite Tomyam in town! Gosh… Well it’s not that I didn’t want to blog about it. But I’ve never remember to snap good photos for this series of post. Hell… I remember nothing in front of those Tomyam-s. >.<

OK the next one. Still no good photos though. :D

This is from a stall situated in a hawker centre a.k.a food corner, Golden Sand Bayview, along Jalan Tanjung Bungah. It’s just right after Penang Chinese Swimming Club if you are coming down from Batu Feringghi.

I was trying to snap a clear photo of the stall but with no success. Well, if you are facing the main road (Jalan Tanjung Bungah), this stall is at the corner on your left. It’s a Thai food stall, and of course, they serve all sorts of spicy yummy-licious food. :)

The last time I was there was some time last week and I ordered a take away Tomyam soup with rice. You may also order instant noodle to go with the Tomyam if you like to. The portion is not really very big but the taste is awesome. With at least two prawns and some chicken/fish to go with, there goes my dinner in heaven. :)

Another food worth mentioning from their stall is fried squid. I’ll say it’s one of my favourites, although I haven’t been taking much squids lately… hmm… maybe I should go get some tomorrow. :D

Oh and before I forget, here’s a map to the place. If I’m not mistaken, this place only opens at night. And I promise I’ll try to snap nicer and clearer photos on the next heavenly post. :D

Buka Puasa! :)

Ever since I lived in KL during my college days, I’ve been a big fan of the night market and Ramadan Market. They always have those superbly yummy food that you might just so easily over-buy and end up not being able to finish all.

Some time last week me and darl went to the Ramadan Market at Tanjung Tokong and got ourselves a really good dinner. Ayam percik, kebab, and soup. All yummy. This evening, my aunt a.k.a Mimi came from Sg Petani and me and her went to the market with my little niece. FYI Mimi is a HUGE fan of Malay food. :D

We parked our car at the village side and walked to the market from there.
