Lamphun Walking Street

Having been to northern of Thailand so many times and countless of visit to night market.....here is one good place to shop, dine & people watching. The Lamphun walking street on every Saturday is worth a visit and a mere 30 minutes leisure drive from Chiang Mai city. Many foods, clothes, souvenir etc etc. Here is how the market looks like:-

Remarks:- You can fill your stomach here with less than 50 bath and trust me the food here is simple but the taste is remarkable! Do remember to try the sesame rice cake....it's damn good and cheap( only 10bath per piece)  Do pay a visit here if you around the Princess City of Lamphun.....a city full of ancient temple, sleepy but full of nice & beautiful people. 

The burger attack!

I was stumble across a yellowish stall that sells some unidentified food. Upon inspection, it is a burger stall with an all new look! The owner of the stall told me that their burger is up to 70% in real beef or chicken meat! Food lovers like me will not miss any chance to try something new! I ordered a "burger ayam special" and after a good 5 minutes.........its time to try it! Oh My God.....better than the normal "R" brand!



"it was indeed nicely packed and I have to give thumbs up for the cleanliness of the stall"



" Even @RM3.60, I still think its worth it!"

Remarks:- I was surprise when the owner of this stall told me his burger stall was under a franchise system and it cost him RM14,000 to start up his burger business! I have to say the burger is tastier & juicier from the famous "R" brand that has been around for a very long time! I am wondering.....do we really need a franchise system for burger stall????? Maybe we can start to plan a "chee cheong fun" franchise!

Episode 3:- Petaling Street charcoal hokkien mee

I just had the Petaling Street Hokkien mee as my dinner. This hokkien mee stall was introduced recently in the Astro AEC show "taste with jason or ah xian ren qing wei". Located in the heart of china town kuala lumpur......u must be sure that this place will be flock by tourists. Even though highly recommended by the hokkien mee lovers...I found the taste was rather bland and too much of dark soy sauce is being used. Anyway its just my humble opinion and preference....some might just love this version of hokkien mee.



Perhaps I have start to believe that the so called "famous" hokkien mee's in town is just normal & blant dark soy sauce fried mee! Still way better, more delicious & good pricing "tall man hokkien mee" beats some of the more well known contestant for the number 1 hokkien mee in Malaysia!

Episode 2:- The Restaurant Ahwa@jln 222 hokkien mee

What a coincidence when one of my old school mate came back from sabah and looking for some hokkien mee action! After a few rounds of drink @ Brussels in Jaya One commercial center we decided that it is time for our supper. Since we are in Petaling Jaya, we headed straight to Jln 222 for the much talk about Ahwa Charcoal hokkien mee. We ordered a small plate of hokkien mee & "kungfu chow". Much too our dissapointment....the "kungfu chow" was a big disaster!! The serving is small & the taste sucks bug time!



" much to our disappointment..the worse "kungfu chow" I've ever ate!!"

The hokkien mee was another disappointment for the night:- the serving is extremely small, just a few pieces of 'chu yau char' c/w pork meat, vege & prawn. The standard has definitely drop tremendously!! not worth a try & a waste of time !! 'Tall Man hokkien mee beats Ahwa by miles!



" taste much better than the one above but the ahwa hokkien mee is over rated by the hokkien mee lovers" Nothing much to shout about ahwa hokkien mee!!

Remarks:- the quest for some of the best hokkien mee in klang valley continues.............

Episode 3:- Petaling Street Hokkien mee

Fried Hokkien Mee....Which is da best?

Ever since I ate my first Hokkien mee ( fried yellow noodle or with meehoon c/w vege,pork meat,pork liver, 'chu yau char' & prawn all along with dark soy sauce) when i was a small kid...... until today I am still hunger for the best Hokkien mee in KL...or perhaps Malaysia. Hokkien mee is originated from Kuala Lumpur and no doubts the best is also found here! There are quite a numerous of famous Hokkien mee in Klang Valley...but my favorite's is not even listed as one of the best in the numerous blogs,forums & discussion about Hokkien mee. Why so?? ask those blogger and Hokkien mee lovers!! Why I think is da BEST?? The answer is as simple as A B C ....... it is cheap, delicious & walking distance from my home. Welcome to my world of Hokkien mee with the first episode of the many episodes that will follow:-

Episode 1 :-The legendary "Tall Man Hokkien Mee" in Taman Daya, Kepong



" this is the legendary Tall Man Hokkien mee"
RM 6 for a small one like this



" As usual I ate it with the sambal belacan and cili padi"



"A plate of Hokkien mee for dinner will be the best answer for a day of hard works"



" Best of all it is accompanied by 'chu yau char'.....super good taste and full of aroma"

I am all out to hunt for the rest of the best Hokkien mee in town... the famous one at Petaling Street, the much shout about Tawakal Hokkien mee, the over rated Loke Yew Hokkien mee, the charcoal fried Hokkien mee in Setapak, The super expensive Ipoh Road Hokkien mee, The expensive but small serving Taman Wahyu Hokkien mee..., Jalan 222 Hokkien mee, Seapark Hokkien mee.....and many more.

Remarks:- The writer tried and ate everyone of these mentioned above Hokkien mee place but still think the one in the photo is still da best and the only 1 and no 2 in da world.

Chee Cheong Fun Malaysian style

As I am dying for chee cheong fun(rice flour noodle).........I drove myself 20 minutes downtown to Brickfields for my favorite chee cheong fun as supper. The mobile ccf stall is located along the Jalan Tun Sambathan 4. ( located in front of the entrance to YMCA parking). The uncle is still using the charcoal to boil his fish ball, 'fu chuk', tauhu,egg, sotong, kangkung & etc inside a big pot. Why I like this stall so much? Firstly the sesame in this stall is full of aroma. Secondly the sweet sauce and chily sauce is fabuluos. Thirdly this stall resembled the one I had during my kid's life in the Jinjang area. Almost every night I will wait outside my grandmother's house and waiting for the ccf aunty. The taste of the ccf is still very much intact inside my brain!



"you cannot miss this stall which is located just opposite the YMCA parking entrance"

" It's as good as it looks.....70 cents per piece"

Remarks:- It opens around midnight till early morning. However if you want more choices go earlier. I just hope that this uncle will pass his business to someone else so that I can continue to eat my favorite ccf here for a long time.
