It has been 200 days from the day me and my girlfriend started with our relationship. To celebrate this simple occasion, I buy a small cake from Breadtalk in Pavillion. Being a well known bakery shop serving delicious breads and cakes, I believe that the tiramisu I buy will surely make her happy.Tiramisu

The tiramisu is indeed very nice, spongy and moderately sweet. It has a few layers of sponge cake, cream cheese, and topped with chocolate powder. Even though we just have our dinner, we still mange to finish the whole cake as it is really good and we can't stop having it.

Kedai Kopi Soon Yuen is located along the Chowrasta Market, or commonly known by Kelinga Bansan by Penangites. It is a very busy shop selling koay teow th'ng, Hokkien Mee, Wan tan Mee and a few other common breakfast choices. Many people tends to drop by Soon Yuen for the famous kaoy teow th'ng after shopping in the market.Koay Teow Th'ng

The koay teow th'ng has a flavorful soup base, with sizeable amount of koay teow, pieces of meat and fish balls sitting in the soup. I like the bouncy fish balls which is freshly made by the stall owner.

Kimberly Street is one of the famous street in Penang, with varieties of street food available along the street at night time. Koay Chiap, char koay teow, tong shui and koay teow theng is said to be the Famous Four in Kimberly Street, and of course we will not loose the chance of having them when we went to Penang. Since we were already quite stuffed when we were there at night, we ordered only kaoy chiap.Koay Chiap

The koay chiap came in a large bowl, with rectangular cut rice noodles (koay chiap), shredded duck meat, coagulated pig blood, offals, braised pork slices, and halved braised egg. The soup base was delicate, enriched with herbs and spices that were not overpowered. Sipping down the piping hot soup was a full comfort, even though the place was slightly hot.

There is a stall in Kedai Kopi Hai Beng selling very nice lor mee. The stall started their business since 1957 and is very famous among the neighbourhood. Other than lor mee, the coffee shop also has stalls selling mixed rice and western breakfast sets. The shop is rather quiet when we are there, probably because it is already 10am and most of the people already done with their breakfast.lor mee
The lor mee is small in portion, but taste nice in every spoonful. The gravy is thick and flavourful, coating every strands of the mee hun. I especially like the meat slices, for it is tender and moist, not just tasteless and tough like those I have tasted back in Klang Valley.

Balik Pulau and Air Itam is said to be the best place for laksa in Penang. The taste of laksa for both places is different, and which one you like is depends on your palate. The one in Balik Pulau tastes lighter, while the one in Air Itam tastes heavier. My girl brought me to have the laksa at Air Itam when I visited her in Penang few months ago. The stall was shabby and hot, with a few stools and tables all fully occupied by customers. Indeed many were still waiting to get an empty seat, so do us.Laksa
The laksa was alright with some disappointment. It tasted rather light and lack of flavourfulness, but there was ample fish meat in the soup. My girl said the laksa was not that light when she tasted it two weeks ago. She said the laksa that time was quite thick and flavourful, but the one I had was very diluted, probably it was almost 4pm and the owner had been adding some hot water instead of real laksa stock to the previous laksa soup.
