Nasi Ganja - Yong Suan coffeeshop

As I entered the old but spacious kopitiam, the shiny glistening walls just made my jaw drop.

Unlike many other kopitiams in Penang, these days, they never sold a single antique chair. If there are any plastic ones around, it's to replace those broken beyond repair. How not to fall in love with this lovely kopitiam ?

(NH) Leong Kee - Pasir Putih, Ipoh

Tapaued the porridge here eons ago and never forgot the taste of the meatballs . And that was it , because we always seemed to arrive at the wrong time. Thus I whooped with joy upon finding the tables lining the five foot way today.

(NH ) Beggars can't be choosers - Tong Sui Kai, Ipoh

We arrived late, 10.30 pm to be exact, not knowing whether the porridge stall would be open or not.

 It was, still open for business that is, but the menu was incredibly limited.

 My supper...miserably sad, empty, bowl of porridge with one portion of crunchy intestines. They'd even run out of minced meat. And no, you can't get another portion of intestines, because she wants to sell more bowls of nothingness.

Hin Loong chicken rice, Ipoh ( PF )

There are famous shops a few roads down, but I only eat here if I am on the lookout for a nice plate of chicken rice

There's no crazy crowd jostling for elbow space here .
Nice and peaceful.

The yellowing signs are meant for the uninitiated few.
