rojak at chai leng park

Elpea used to eat this every day after school she says. (this and the sugar cane water, which is now on her banned list but that is another story…)

Anyway, I only started eating the rojak after I got to know her and I must say its quite addictive. The rojak is very good actually And the sauce has a very unique taste as well. The rojak has got all the normal fruits (cucumber, pineapple, bangkuang, mango) and squid

BUT I like it because it has the additional ingredient of crunchy refried ”eu char koay” and you can also add the packet of fried/dry joohoo. These go really well with the fruits and the sauce.

The “push-cart” is next to the corner coffee shop on the intersection of jalan gan chai leng and tingkat kurau4. hes there from lunch time onwards.

We actually bought 2 pack home so some assembly is required.. Both packs finished before the day was done. Overall rating of 8/10

koay kak @lipsin market part 2

The 2nd stall in the lip sin market is the motorbike stall in front of the sin kek seng coffee shop.

The koay kak was firm and not mushy but tasted quite salty.

Well, all I can say is that it was better than the 1st stall but still not better than the one I had behind sg ara taimima coffee shop.

Overall 3/10

Go back to sg ara to buy?

Maybe I need to try the one in supertanker as well.

Muar chee and ham chin peng

Muar chee @lip sin market

There are 2 type of muah chee, The butterfly type which is slighty puffier and the ribbon type which is well ,, see the picture …

The one I had is the ribbon version

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside

Generous amounts of muah on it as well.

Overall 7/10

Haam chim peng @lip sin market

Quite tender and with lots of red bean paste.

Much more redbean than what I’ve seen elsewhere.

The sg ara one cant beat this. Sorry.

Overall 8/10

Koay kak at lipsin market, furthest away from sin kekseng coffee shop

sigh… Ok so when I start with a sigh, it does not bode well koay kak from the lipsin market. there are essesntially 2 stalls there one near the sin kek seng coffee shop and the one that i bought from which is furthest away. basically, its: Too moist Too oily Too mushy Really sucked i rate it 1/10, just because it filled my stomach where oh where can i get good koay kak... i hope the other one is better sigh...

moon biscuit @ noordin st

'Tis the season for mooncakes but there is also another type of delicacy which is quite popular this season as well. moon biscuits. there is a shop which i'm pretty fond of that sell these biscuits and it situated in the heart of georgetown. . hock lok siew at noordin st. they specialize in these type of biscuits. actually, my dad goes there and he buys for me.. (thanks dad..) they sell a lot of variety of biscuits but I only like the plain moon biscuit and the red bean moon biscuit. They are pretty popular . the plain moon biscuit is actuallyfilled with lotus paste. The coconut just doesn't do it for me and the "real" plain variety is basically without filling. i always find them a bit too dry. red bean moon biscuit i love the red bean paste. The outer crust is quite soft and not dry/brittle. its not really moist. just nice. BUT a bit oily though. 8/10

Plain moon biscuit same crust as the red bean but filled with lotus paste that is Sweet with a slight tinge of saltiness. 7/10 , because i like the red bean better.

laksa@ coffeshop in front of ping hwa gottlieb rd.

We’ve gone to this shop for a few years already but most of the time only when we go vist my dad. or when we got some meetings up north and we make a pitstop here.

Noodles are springy and don’t stick together like other shops. Soup has lot of fish meat and very flavourful. Personally, i think Air itam laksa sucks(again its just MY opinion only, since I still see throng of people going there). The one that are not too bad: pg road, bb behind sunshine, behind giant burma rd and bukit jambul, in that order. The supertanker laksa sucks as well. really.....!! I’m not a soup person but Elpea drinks everything so you know whos bowl is whos below. I just go for the noodles and the fish meat. I like mine with shrimp paste as it give it that tinge of sweetness. Elpea cannot stand shrimp paste in hers. (and now you know how to sabo her laksa... hehehe..) By the way, the stall also sells fried popiah which I find very yummy as well. note that they only start selling around noon til 5pm. too early or too late and you'll be dissapointed. overall rating of 9/10.

claypot chicken rice

my best bud and i used to go eat at this one stall at the bt jambul food court, next to the now defunct cinema... (or is it still there?) it was the best one i had so far and its been ages since i've been back there... anyway, i've been sampling different versions, from the main land, from bayan bay, from the office canteen...(:-P) but none of it could come even close to the one i had in bt jambul until now that is.... its at the new coffee shop in islamd glades, behind the genting coffee shop. lp bought home some and we went there to eat once more as well.
