Sharing my Ideas, Views and Opinions !

Few days ago, while dating my dreamgirl, all of the sudden the dream turned wild. I know what you are thinking. No..not turning into WET but it turned into terrified horror when I appear to be a victim of drought and famine.

Guess what, in a split second, char siu, siu yok and siu kai dropped from the sky like in the movie Meatballs. Maybe I watch too many movies but the point is, I woke up craving for all these siu siu siu rice.

Reality slapped me when I realized that I am in the middle of Chinaland. So, how to ease my craving? No choice but to flip back at all my photos and I found this place. This is the closest I can get.

Kedai Makanan Wing Heong is always the right choice. Not only it cans fill your stomach easily when you are there physically but it also can ease your cravings when you are not there! Don’t be surprise what you can get in this small hawker stalls.

Cockroaches? Unhygienic place? No no.. this place is surprisingly decent. I will not use the word clean but it is free from ‘uninvited’ small crawling creatures and at least my stomach did not reject the food after that.

Some people have no money to buy a decent food. In my case, I am not rich but I cannot get decent food now even I have some money. This place is definitely affordable. With only about RM 3.50 – RM 9, you can get a lifetime experience to eat the tastiest siu yok or siu kai or char siu freshly chop for you.. imagine that !

Seafood?? Unfortunately this is not a seafood place. Too bad..However, this place serves very delicious assamfish. I might be slightly bias when I said this but I prefer assamfish here as compare to Restoran Peng Heong Hakka Paikut.

On top of that, they also serve “dan tong”. That time, I tried the chicken “sayong choi tong”. Ok.. don’t be critical on me as I don’t know how to translate all these in English. Besides, even if you speak English to them, I doubt they will know.

Both the BBQ chicken and pork are my all favorite here. It is nicely cooked and the chicken is slightly soft and tendery. Not over cook of course as I can still taste the juicy pork. The roasted pork is a must try. The texture is good and I particularly love the crispy skins.

You can call me pork lover but I don’t think I can survive a day without pork. That is why my plan on becoming a vegetarian is just a wishful thinking and never materializes. Food is excellent, price is affordable except slightly warm and definitely worth to give it a try when you are around the vicinity.

When you are broke, I mean literally broke, you don’t need to beg for money or food. What you need to do is to dress up nicely and crash some wedding parties. That is what I consider as survival tips to feed your fat.

If really in desperate need and have little money with you, even RM 5 can make you full for one meal. Let me show you how. I discovered this place along Jalan Pudu recently. Typical hawker stall by the roadside that managed to put their footprints on local newspaper.  

Of course many will say RM 5 can get almost anything but what if I tell you that this stall serves very nice Tai Poh Mee? Probably, the stall serves one of the best Tai Poh Mee around for only RM 5 (Big), Medium RM 4.60 (Medium) and RM 4.20 (Small).

I am positive that many will confuse this type of noodles with wantan mee simply because it is also served with wan tan too. The Tai Poh noodle is slightly thicker as compare to wan tan noodle and the taste is a lot different than typical wantan mee.

What I like about this noodle? Of course is the the minced pork in soy sauces.  Is it good? Hey, if this type of noodle is not impressive, do you think I will blog about it? Why not you give it a try and tell me how do you like it.

Once you try it, I bet many will say that the portion is slightly small for a big eater like me. Don’t fret, there is a famous Teochew Fishball stall here too. It was founded in 1952. Wow, older than me.

Please don’t complaint that you don’t have money as this is not expensive too. Only RM 4 for a single bowl with mixture of various types of meatballs, fishballs, fishcakes, dumplings etc or it will only costs about RM 4.50 for take away.

This photo is not photoshop. In fact almost all pictures in TikkoSS’s Blog are not photoshop too.  So, what you see is exactly what I ate that day. Deliciously tempting? That is exactly how I feel when I have it.

Bring RM 10 with you and you can enjoy both Tai Poh Mee and Teochew Fishballs. Yes, that is all you need, only RM 10.

Global warming is the culprit if cold place getting colder and hot place getting hotter. In hot and warm country like Malaysia, air condition is preferred or you will be soaked with sweat.

Any exception? Definitely! Lorong Selamat Ikan Bakar is one of it. A non air-conditioned hawker stall with big fan only. Try it during noon and you will know how many packets of tissue you need .

Sweat? Then why here? The freshly grilled fish is the main reason why I am here despite hot and warm. Ohh.. before I forget, the parking here is a big problem. I would suggest to travel by using Putra LRT and get down at Dato Keramat station.

There are varieties of grilled fishes here. Kembong (Mackerel), cencaru (Torpedo Scad), pari(Stingray), tetuka(Baby Stingray), terubuk (River Herring), siakap (Baramudi or Asian Seabass), kerapu (Grouper) and bawal (Pomfret) are the choices.  The fishes are pre-marinated with turmeric and wrapped with banana leaves before grilling it.

Stingray is the only fish with cartilage and less bones so I decided to order it. I am like small kiddo right? Better be safe than get chocked later… hehe..  

Most of the grilled fish are too dry and hard but this one, the meat is still soft and juicy. The marinated turmeric flavor together with the dip sauce makes me want to come back to this place again. Not to forget, the delicious chicken soup too.

How much do you think it will cost for a glass of pure fruit juice? I remember that I drank once in KLCC and it cost me about RM 10++. Not to mention it is a small glass and diluted. Over here, you only need to pay RM 5 for a big glass of pure mango drink.

Many asked me why I include empty plates in most of my food posts. No particular reason except to show that the food is really nice and I help the waitress to clean the plates

You might say that the price here is slightly expensive for hawker stall but I am willing to pay more if the quality of the food is above average. If you measure the portion, food quality and price, I am sure you will come again once you try it.

What did you do when you have some free time? Playing chess, reading or gardening? Gosh, so boring. Get a life ! I know you will curse me if your hobby happen to be one of those. As for me, I will do something to keep up with my tummy. (The other day, one auntie just said.. OMG.. you so fat now .. arrggghhh)

I can spend 5 hours drive to Penang (I am a turtle driver) just because I am craving for Penang food.  The place that I like most in Penang is Macalister Road. Probably about 15 min drive from Penang Bridge assuming that there are no traffic jams.

Macalister Road is not a super high class place but it fills with a lot of hawker stalls. Over here, you can find variety of very nice and famous food.

Everytime when I come to this place, there are few “must eat” food. Chee cheong fun, loh bak and ais kacang. Please don’t worry that they will slaughter you if you are not local because most of them are very reasonable. Some stalls even put up the pricing but of course if you speak Hokkien to them, you will get “better treatments”.

Let me tell you that this is not just an ordinary ais kacang. Have you try ais kacang with sarsaparilla (Sarsi) syrup  and cincau (grass jelly)? That’s why I said it is a “must eat” dessert. I am sure most of you are familliar with loh bak so I skip this and move to chee cheong fun. Have you try chee cheong fun with prawn paste? Taste weird? Nah.. it tastes yummie..

The journey to Penang is a bit torturing considering that I am a turtle driver but I only spent about RM 20 to feed my fat. Let me see if I can google the locations just incase you are as adventurous as me.
