Famous Shark Porridge in Matang!






Hi Guys,
Here I am back with another tantalizing dish that will surely tickle your palate! This Restaurant in Matang serves great Shark Porridge .You can add shark liver, ikan bawal, lala or shell fish to your liking. As a side dish to compliment your meal , order their Fried Oyster( Ore Chien) and I can assure you your trip to Matang would not be your last.
How to get there? Take a drive from the North/South Expressway and exit to the old trunk road to Taiping. As you come to the traffic lights, you will see a road sign to Kuala Sepetang. Take this road and before long you will see Matang on your left. Drive approximately 1.1 kilometer and you should see the Light House Sea Food Restaurant on your right. You can't miss it.
The guy in the picture is Mr. Goh Ah Meng, the proprietor.

Famous Penang Prawn Mee in Ipoh.
















Hi Guys, I promised to post more blogs in future last year and I must say I failed terribly. I kept putting things off and before I realised it, another year is going to pass by and nothing's cropped up.






Well, I have been patronising this shop at No:30 & 32 Cowan Street named Kedai Minuman dan Makanan Hua Nam for many years now and last week while I was there , I suddenly have the urge to talk to the guy who operates this Hokkien Prawn Mee noodles with his wife. I told him that I wanted post this in my blog and to my surprise, he said yes, why not? So, needless to say, I went there armed with my camera and took a friend as well. I ordered the special prawn noodles with 3 large prawns and that is the one you see in the pics. When I finished my meal, I waved to the boss and said I need some details. No wonder his Hokkien Mee tastes so much like Penang. He is actually from Penang and he has been selling Hokkien Mee for the last 26 years.
Imagine, a bowl of piping hot HPM with 3 large prawns for only RM4.30. A normal bowl costs only Rm3.30.
Mr. Hong Say Leong is 64 years and his wife Ong Ah Wan manages the stall everyday from 12 pm to 5 pm. Apart from HPM, he also sells Hokkien Law Mee where the gravy is thick and is a favourite among Penangnites. So guys, for those of you in other states, make it a point to try Mr. Hong's HPM if ever you are in Ipoh or just passing by. Just remember to mention you saw it in my blog. That would boost him up a bit.
Ok, gtg. I will be presenting another 'Hot, hot mesti cuba' Curry Mee in town.
Ciao!
