Morning Walk & Breakfast In Penang

When it was bright enough, hubby and I went down to take our morning walk around the hotel. It was about 7:20am plus with gloomy sky.

There was not much traffic at that time.

Macallum Central Hotel.

I wonder if the boss of this chicken rice shop is a fat man.....

The sign above caught my eyes.

"Drink High"

I suppose this sign will be light up at night.

Our friend told us that this is a well known stall selling sweet porridge.

Bubur kacang, gandum & pulut hitam or peanut, oat and black glutinous rice porridge.

They were closed both times we were here.

~~~~~

I didn't ask our friend where he was taking us for breakfast.

Our friend ordered 2 bowls of white curry noodles for 4 of us to share. The curry only tastes good after adding the curry paste served in the spoon.

2 bowls of prawn noodles, also for sharing.

Thin crispy pancakes or apom. Nice and crispy when eaten still warm.

Mixed fruit dessert.

That is all for 4 of us.

~~~~~

Our friend stopped the car in front of the bank. One of us went into the bank and I got down to take some snapshots.

Sculptures of golden rats.

Pulau Tikus means Rat Island.

A few steps away is another sculpture (side view).

After this, we went back to the hotel, packed, checked out and drove back to Ipoh.

Sing praises to the Lord!

Raise your voice in song to him who rides upon the clouds!

Jehovah is his name - oh, rejoice in his presence.

White Curry Noodle At Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights, Penang

As usual whenever I am travelling, I will have interrupted sleep and will wake up a few times throughout the night.

Morning view in Penang at 7:05am.

 Since our friends were still sleeping, we went down for a walk.

9:05am

We were back in our hotel room resting when the heavy downpour started.

It was still raining when we were preparing to go out for breakfast.

By the time we reached our destination, there was only a light drizzle.

White curry noodle for breakfast at Hot Bowl Nyonya Delights, Jalan Rangoon, Penang.

Menu.

Paintings on the walls.

Newspaper cuttings about their white curry noodles.

Our drinks: Warm barley (RM2), Chinese tea (RM1.20) and Penang white coffee (RM3.50 x 2).

Not as kaw (thick) as Ipoh white coffee but the taste is good.

4 bowls of white curry noodles + 2 sides orders.

2 pieces Teochew Guang - RM2.80

Spiced Loh Bak - RM6.

2 white curry noodles with tofu puff and squid - RM13.

White curry noodle with tofu puffs & cockles - RM13.

I think it is the milk or creamer that gives the white colour.

Curry paste or curry oil.

I took a spoonful of curry oil and added it to the noodle and mixed. Without the curry oil, the white broth tastes bland.

Personally, I still prefer the normal red curry noodle which has the extra omph!

Crows are black birds and can be identified by their loud "caw-caw" calls.

I tell you, love your enemies.

Help and give without expecting a return.

You'll never - I promise - regret it.

Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us,

generously and graciously, even when we're at our worst.

Our Father is kind; you be kind.

White Curry Noodle, Prawn Noodle & Yummy Durian On A Sunday

It was a Sunday morning. We were preparing to go out for breakfast, and then to church.

 Sunrise at 7:45 am

 These early birds were searching for food in front of my house.

 They didn't mind me standing nearby taking snapshots.

*     *     *     *     *

After church, we went for brunch at Gou Lou Prawn Noodle, 124, Jalan Bharu, Taman Hoover, off Jalan Kampar for brunch.

 Wall decor

 This visit, I wanted to try this White Curry Noodle. The soup is white. There is prawns, tofu puff, half hard boiled egg, long bean, beansprout, and a spoonful curry paste. 

 I placed all the curry paste onto the noodle.

 I gave it a good mix. It was a bowl of delicious creamy curry noodle. The other half hard boiled egg came from hubby's prawn noodle, he doesn't eat hard boiled egg.

Hubby ordered this special prawn noodle with pig's tail, pork slices, prawns, veggie, and etc. We both had tried the normal Prawn Noodle on our previous visit.

 Side order - a plate of Nyonya Lor Bak or meat rolls.

*     *     *     *     *

After brunch, we walked over to the opposite row of shops to get to our car.

 Vertical garden in front of a cake shop - JJ Roll.

 I just have to stop to take snapshots of these cute sculptures in front of the cake shop.

 All 4 sculptures are in bright colours.

 Went home after brunch. I was in the kitchen when I heard someone calling at the gate. Hubby went to check and then came back bearing tubs of durian.

His friend told him one tub was Musang King durian and I forgot the names of the other durians.

  So I don't know which is which. It doesn't matter because all were so delicious.

Thanks to the friend, these were the best durian we have tasted this season.

Also thanks to Libby

of "My Blog, My World, My Memories" for this lovely gift (above).
