Nasi Kandar & Cendul

I had a food brunch at Penang Road. This late morning I was here for a good Nasi Kandar. This Nasi Kandar is one of the among well known Nasi Kandar in Penang. This is my first time trying Line Clear thou.

The queue was not there when I arrived there. Good for me doesn't need to queue for the food. But the queue built up when I left the restaurant around 12pm.

For the Nasi Kandar, I took white rice, Fried Chicken- Whole leg, one vegetable, and one Telur Dadar. And to complete my meal in this open air, non-air conditioned restaurant, one cup of Limau Ais was the best pair.

Another built up point was the gravy, I asked the guy loaded the rice with whatever gravies that they have. Semua kuah pun mau.

Afterwards it was the dessert time, I walked to nearby famous Cendul. I queued for around 5 minutes for one bowl of refreshing Teochew Cendul finished within 3 minutes.

Breakfast the Nasi Lemak like King

Breakfast like a king. Yeah that's right. As a Malaysian, I am used to eating rice for breakfast.

Nasi Lemak will become the usual meal for most of Malaysian though we don't really have a standard menu of breakfast.

I had Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng at my office cafeteria this morning. The rice is cooked with coconut milk, the red sambal bilis is served alongside with cucumber slices, roasted peanuts, fried anchovies and egg. Sambal is normally stir-fried ground chilli paste (in bahasa we call this tumis or action menumis) with spices and anchovies.

Ayam goreng (fried chicken) is the side dish in addition that I took. Normally nasi lemak can be served with various sides such as sotong telur, sambal sotong, sambal petai, sambal udang, even western combinations such as hotdogs and omelette and etc.

RM 3.50

Waited 40 minutes for Mee Sotong

I am travelling to Penang for only food hunting session. This is my first budget backpacking tour. I've been coming to Penang for a few times as business trip but this will be my first time as a tourist. My trip will be as budget as I kept my budget within RM 350 including travelling.

Today is my first day so I waited for 40 minutes at this Padang Kota Lama's Esplanade Food Court.

The queue was long and my wait is very worthy as the RM 5 Mee Sotong is quite delicious and addictive.

And of course this hot day is good to match a refreshing Buah Pala Asam Boi Juice. Ah haha. RM 5 + RM 2.60 = RM 7.60

Texas Chicken Malaysia's Fortune Chicken

It was a great night for me to have a good dinner at Texas Chicken Malaysia, Sunway Pyramid Branch. The staffs were friendly and the ambiance was good.

Earlier today I wished to eat something crunchy and flavourful. When I left my office, Texas Chicken was finally dawned on me. Yeay!

Apa lagi?(Without further-ado) I quickly head to Texas Chicken to have dinner there. I ordered one combo set of Fortune Chicken. This Fortune Chicken is the new introduced chicken by Texas Chicken Malaysia in conjuction with Chinese New Year. And this coming CNY is the year of rooster!

This Fortune Chicken Combo is priced at RM14.50 inclusive of GST. This combo comes with two pieces of Fortune Chicken, Fortune Fries, a biscuit, and free-refill soft drinks. I got a pack of angpau packets too. Angpau Packets are red envelopes where money will be given enclosed during festive seasons, such as CNY.

The staffs were friendly. The cashier told me that the Fortune Chicken choice was left with drumsticks only. However they willingly to offer to prepare two pieces chicken parts of my choice. Yes. You read it right, and two pieces only. I took one breast and another one thigh.

However, the wait for the chicken to be served took me 15 minutes doesn't disappoint me. The chickens were fully flavoured. And when eating them hot was the best. You can taste the succulent meat and its juiciness.

The awesome juicy-ness dripped out from the fried chicken.

The Fortune Fries were flavoured with hot and spicy flavour too. I think the fries was hotter than the chicken. But it was good. The chicken were flavoured carefully and it covered the whole fried chicken. I can taste the "fortune"-ness at each every bites I had.

However I think the flavour for chicken is a bit more sweeter rather than taste of chili. But both fries and fried chicken were spicy and good.
