Hong La Jiao Steamboat - deadly , very deadly

Though we arrived close to midnite , the restaurant was running full  .

Open till 4.30 am , I consider this a necessary service that caters to the many hungry night owls in Georgetown who otherwise would have to make do with the same ole boring mamak or fastfood .

Giant Garoupa - Burma Food Paradise

Some people will take the next flight in just for this fish.

Considered a delicacy , it seems whichever shop owner successfully bids for the Big Ones most times sees enthusiasts clamouring for a portion.

Chicken Curry - Teluk Intan style ( PF )

Was seated near the entrance, when the aroma whaffed over and drove me half mad

 " Who's cooking chicken curry ?" 

Someone seated one table behind me was the culprit who ordered this

Hokkien mee with the fullworks - Jalan Burma ( NH )

Heading towards the ferry terminal , when we came right smack into an out of the ordinary jam. Suddenly recalled that some japanese festival ( Yosakoi ) was being held at the Esplanade today.
Decided to turn back and eat here.

They've grown by leaps and bounds.
Stretching past the five foot way of so many shoplots.
Easy to find ( it's diagonally across Tune Hotel ) but poses a real challenge to find legal parking space for.

Hainanese Delights - $60 ? Are you kidding ? ( PF )

Mind you, the restaurant is located within a budget hotel , so excuse me, for complaining that I find the bill a bit too much.

Our order

• 3 drinks - 2 hainanese kopi ( 1 hot, 1 cold), 1 orange juice
• 1 dessert - 1 small bowl of sago with gula melaka
• 3 mains - 1 fried rice, 1 fried rice with salted fish, 1 fried beehoon
• 1 appetizer - 2 spring rolls

Fried rice. Tasty and nice with prawns and chicken meat.

 Deep fried onions were so hard , I spit them out in disgust.

Fried beehoon. Crunchy sawi, nice fluffy scrambled eggs with prawns and chicken meat.

Again, the onions spoilt the whole dish.

Boiling inside.

(NH ) Ming Xiang Tai, Jalan Burma

Ming Xiang Tai was featured in todays newspaper. How come I didn't know even about this place until today ? I just had to check this one out.

The writer raved about the Trishaw Egg Tarts sold here.

Am about to put this to the test.
