Counting Down #02 - Old Airport Road

I think i should stop counting down to theBF leaving Singapore because it is getting a tad too painful to wake up every morning thinking that another day has ended and im that much closer to bidding him goodbye =*(

So some weeks ago, we took the circle line to Old Airport Road Food Centre, continuing our food hunt for good local cuisine that he will miss when he's away. This is one of my dad's favorite eating place and with the circle line station located so closely to this hawker centre (Mountbatten or Dakota station!), it is really convenient and so much more accessible than before!

WHITLEY ROAD PRAWN MEE 

Didn't manage to snap a picture of the stall itself but it's pretty prominent with its bright yellow signboard. Stall's facing the main road so you might even spot it while driving!

Ordered the $5 (smallest bowl) prawn mee with pork ribs =) Dad's recommendation and this is the stall we always order when he drives me there for lunch/dinner!

And i don't know what got into us that day but we were STILL hungry after gulping down the prawn mee so we ordered wanton mee from the nearby store because Nam Sing hokkien mee stall was closed for the day and we were seated right next to this wanton mee stall (aka lazy to move). HAHA. 

Hawker centre food stall with electronic number generator. FANCY LEH. haha.

The char siew was a tad dry, wanton was pretty good and the noodles is REALLY AWESOME. I hate it when my meepok/thin noodles clump together but the noodles from this stall was blanched with such perfection, giving it an al dente texture =D

Guess what we bought for supper?

LAO BAN beancurd! 

Everyone (no kidding) had at least a bowl of Lao Ban soya beancurd on their table which got us tempted as well. Thankfully, there is no Q at the store and i managed to purchase the last few bowls available for the day =)

Smooth texture with a strong soyabean aroma and taste. No wonder it's so famous!

If you are not into queuing for a bowl of soya beancurd, i personally recommend 51 Soya Bean, located near Lao Ban at the food centre! 

First tried their Durian flavored beancurd at our stayover at Wanderlust, i think its texture and taste is definitely comparable to Lao Ban's!

Okie dokie, tt's all for today!

Until next time!

Penang Penang - Day 4

Last day in Penang started late because everyone's (particularly, ME. lol) was tired from the wedding the night before so we were all lying in bed till Jie and Lee came over after they returned the gown.

Megan lying on the bed with me with my Ninja =)) Cuteness overdose!

Off to Penang's Largest Toy Museum at Tanjung Bungah!

What greeted us when the main door swung open - ROWS and ROWS of cabinets displaying HEAPS of toys!

Can you recognise all of them? ;)

@theBF, this is for you:

And @Sally, your idol!!! =P

They had this corner specially created for toys from horror movies/shows =/

Spent a good amount of time browsing through the shelves of toys and as you can see, they have toys ranging from movies, to cartoons, to TV shows. A really good place to visit if you are in Penang because there is bound to be a toy for everyone of all ages!! =)

I left Penang on the night flight that evening alone because i had to be in lab the very next day so Jie and Lee brought me to Gurney Drive for dinner once again while the others explored other places. 

Thankfully, weather was good that day! 

Chicken backsides & meatballs from the BBQ corner *YUMSSSSSS

Asam Laksa again! Love the udon-like noodles!

Oh and a pic of their Chee Cheong Fun! 

Instead of sweet black sauce, Penang style uses shrimp paste (hae ko), giving it a old new flavor.

Alrighty, that wraps up my travelogue posts on Penang =) My travel entries always seem to attract more attention/readership than normal food posts so hope you guys enjoyed this series too!!

Until next time~
