It was a busy weekday afternoon where I had to take time off lunch to do some banking in Uptown before having to rush for a launch. Since I had little time left to eat and is rushing, I thought I just grab some simple food on those mobile van stalls and eat on the go.

As I was walking towards them, I saw this motorbike stall next to HSBC and its quite packed. Turned out its selling chee cheong fun and I thought perfect, something not too heavy to keep me awake at the launch and fast to eat!

There’s quite a crowd at the mobile stall and its quite rare to find chee cheong fun on bikes nowadays especially in PJ… I took 5 pieces of the yong tau foo and 2 chee cheong fun with curry and sweet sauce mix costing me RM5.

Next to the bike are a bunch of shades that you can nicely sit and eat. The food is ok, normal chee cheong fun la but when you are rushing, can be quite nice to eat at one of these mobile stalls.

Just nearby the Pulau Tikus wet market, a popular place to makan is at Restoran Kwai Lock. There are various choices of Penang hawkers food here but again like most places in Penang, be early for more choices, better seats and shorter waiting time.

Its a bit smokey in Kwai Lock as most of the hawkers fried their servings away on the street just outside the coffeeshop. There are just so many good selections of hawkers food to choose from over here. I started with the stall outside selling chee cheong fun and various local kueh. The chee cheong fun looks good and I see a lot of people ordering but wasn’t in a mood for it that morning, so I went for some chai kueh instead. I think it was 9am then and only a few pieces left. The chai kueh is pretty ok with some red sour spicy chili sauce to go with it.

The wantan mee here are served with bbq pork, mushroom and wantan… every stall seems to have their own style! The hokkien mee here is quite ok but didn’t really satisfied me, so I ordered a plate of fried mee suah. The fried mee suah is a bit wet with prawns and pork and the chili to go with it is superb, love it!

Surprisingly the curry mee here does not have pig’s blood but it was ok. Most of the noodles cost RM3 each, still ok. The roti bakar is cheap, at RM1.00 only and they provide you with a satay stick so you don’t have to get your hands dirty and sticky, pretty good idea .

Yen Nam, the man who just got married decided to take us around Kulim for food till we drop… we started by going to Wenxi for Dim Sum. It was a Sunday and a working day there in Kedah but somehow, it feels like a non working day as you see most of the local are still at dim sum breakfast and Yen Nam seems to know everyone there :O.

I can’t recall how much was it, I think it was around RM60? for dim sum for 2 tables, consider cheaper than KL a lot. They have the usual steam and fried varieties here. The dim sum are ok, not bad and a little different from those in KL too. They have like steam yam dim sum there, something I have not seen in KL. The lotus leaf rice, fried lobak kueh and pau is quite nice as well.

Pretty decent place and good pricing for dim sum here but come earlier should have more choice, we sleepy heads only head there at 10am plus .
