Western food in Taiping

Western food in Taiping.  Yesterday we were at Nagaria to do a round of western food tasting in Taiping during our long break here.  Nagaria has been in Taiping for more than 20 years, an established restaurant in Taiping with enhanced cleanliness and standard after the recent change.  Food is not too bad.  The waiter and waitress were ok, and we got a very friendly waiter who serve us with our orders. We ordered the Bombay steak, chicken chop oriental, chicken chop chambertin that was supposed to be marinated or cooked with red wine, fish and chip (looked too dry) and oriental fried rice(looked too plain).  Will give it 9/10 for ambience and pricing. Taste and presentation of food only earned 6/10. 

My personal preference are the chicken chop at Restaurant Wan Li at Kota Road or the Western corner at Glutton Corner (Padang) though.  They come with better sauce.

All about Laksa and Fried Koay Teow

It's all about laksa and fried koay teow.  Where can you get the best assam laksa and char koay teow?

I have gone to Penang for its penang laksa and char koay teow at Penang Road.  One can also enjoy its similar version in Taiping.  I have tried the ones at Pokok Assam, Prima, and Cashiers Market in Taiping.  They are now ranged from RM3 to RM3.50 per bowl or per plate.  The best I have tasted would be .....

Assam Laksa

OK, OK, I know you miss Taiping food. How about this mouth watering laksa from Pokok Assam central and the teh peng (ice tea with milk). Gosh I can eat two bowls at a time. I did actually. I was there with some friends during the chinese new year holiday.

These pictures however were taken by my niece during her food rendevous when she was back in Taiping for one of her holidays trip then. Hmmmm.... sedap (delicious).

Nasi Lemak

The favourite nasi lemak, which one looks delicious and irresistable to you? We have one from the Carlos, one from Bt Mas and another from a Malay Makcik stall.

Well your choice:

Carlos

Bt Mas Nasi Lemak or

Makcik's Nasi Lemak

For details, contact me for this great favourite of all time food.

Kheng Pin Coffee Shop, Penang food

Check this coffee shop out when you are in Penang. It is along Penang Rd and Sri Bahari Rd. They serve delicious lobak (fried meat loaves) .

Fried Koay Tiow and Fried Oyster

Hmmmm..... don't you just miss the delicious fried oyster with the just right flavour of chilly. Only for RM12 for this big plate.

Arghghhhh.... can you just smell the aromatic fried koay tiow from where you are sitting now. Gosh I miss the koay tiow so much. And the prawns here are so big.... hm..... just delicious. Of course you have to pay extra for the extra big prawn here. this plate costs RM9 but it is worth every dollar.

So, don't forget to pop into Lorong Selamat Penang stalls when you are in Penang. You have not really step into Penang if you do not attempt to try to eat all these delicious, mouth watering food..... Hm... I am hungry already!!

Cuttlefish fruit rojak & ABC Ice Kacang

You know it is mouth watering sedap (delicious) just by looking at it. This ABC ice kacang (ice with nuts and jelly and condensed milk and syrup) is thirst quenching and a simple yet great dessert.

The cuttlefish fruit rojak (cucumber, turnip, pineapple, mango) is a low fat diet dessert. The fruit is low in calories, not the cuttlefish though!!.. The nice aromatic prawn paste sauce is just yummy for those who love rojak.

My niece and nephew brought her mum and grandma to this stall at Lorong Selamat in Penang for a food rendevous in celebration of her mum's birthday. Just wished I was there:)
