I love to have breakfast at Jalan Tun Sri Lanang by the open air car park with their very good chicken rice ball and also hee kiaw mee. At night, this same place is converted to serve 2 other stalls, one is also a hee kiaw mee and the other is a char koay teow stall.

Tonight after dropping Miharu off for wedding dinner, I head there for a good bowl of hee kiaw mee. I got a little greedy (as always ) and added additional 6 pieces of pork and fish balls on top of my hee kiaw mee which is already filled with good stuff.

I asked for the soup noodles… so in my hee kiaw mee there are obviously hee kiaw (fish paste), almost 8 slices of them, a few slices of bbq pork (char siew), half a fried wanton and 3 fishball… the topping almost covered my meehoon! With an additional 6 pieces in another bowl, you can imagine how full I am now.

The soup is great, with a generous amount of Chinese parsley added really brings out the aroma and most important of all the clear soup is tasty and no thirst after drinking. The hee kiaw and fish balls are very good as well with good texture and taste.

The pricing is also good, with a drink and all the above for RM6.90. The base hee kiaw noodles itself is RM3.50. Good place for a quick and good dinner .

I had always like popiah melaka style where they would have the popiah with the common sweet and chili paste topped with a piece of green vege, minced fried eggs, minced tofu, slices of cucumbers, cooked yambean (sar kok in cantonese) wrapped together with the popiah skin. The secret that makes melaka popiah nicer is a little pork lard oil being added just before wrapping.

I spotted this mobile popiah stall on its way to business at about 2 plus in the afternoon at Bukit Beruang. It stopped just next to where I was buying some noodles and I decided to try it. The popiah goes for RM2 per piece and the lady have her son helping her out.

The popiah is good but not as sinfully good as they just use the pork lard oil and not the pork lard itself. I asked Wee Meng about the stall later he told me that they are always at the junction where I bought them but as I was waiting for my order, the owner got a call for 10 pieces and soon after she had done my order, she started to push her stall on wheels again, wonder if she is delivering or just moving to a better spot .

Anyhow, not a bad choice for some tea time snacks without having to jam into Melaka town on a weekend .

Near Phuket town area at the new shopping district where Festive Central, all the hypermarts and home improvements establishment are located, I was introduced to this roast duck place. SOHO serve good roast duck and you have the option to take it with rice or noodles.

Besides duck, you can also opt for roast pork as well. The rice option is serve on a normal portion, we opted for roast pork mix with roast duck on the rice with some vege and gravy on it. I won’t fancy the sauce, mainly its sweet but the roast duck and roast pork is good

The noodles version is rather small, just like all thai noodles portion. The noodles are yellowish egg noodles with a wanton added with vege in soup with the roast duck topping. The soup and all is ok but I don’t fancy the egg noodles taste and portion is too small for me, have eat 2 bowl, then again reason to eat both noodles and rice, hehe. However, with a little twist of adding the usual noodles topping like chili powder and some vinegar, the soup is really good!

Price here start at 40-50 baht per order depending what you want on it and good thing is that the owner understand some basic English and there is an English menu available . Parking is also easy here, so not a bad place to have some good roast duck here in Phuket.
