Leng Chee Kang Dessert

I am at Trengganu road having dessert. A hot gingko nut, Longan, lotus seed in a sweet rock sugar soup. You can also have it as a refreshing cold dessert.

Location:Jalan Trengganu,George Town,Malaysia

Durian Durian

Ah you can never miss a durian stall as the pungent aroma makes it known to everyone within 20 meters. Even if you drive past it you can smell it wafting through the air conditioning. To some it may smell worse than rotten eggs. To others, it is the perfume of the Gods!


I had some this morning and I feel hot and sweaty as I write this. There are too many kinds of durians to choose from. They can be cheap or very expensive. I prefer the ones with a small seed (chew hoot) as it gives me more of the yummy flesh. So if you buy one ask for the ones with small seeds.


Nowadays the durian seller will open and pack the durians for you. Expect to pay anything from rm7 to rm50 per durian depending on the quality of the durians.

Putu Mayom

I enjoyed this sweet Indian dish this morning at Pulau Tikus Market. The rice net vermicelli is steamed over a rattan base. It's green as it has some pandan(screwpine) flavoring. The main taste comes from the freshly grated coconut and brown sugar. Mix this all together for a refreshingly light mouthful.

Breakfast at the Coffee shop

A hot breakfast in the cool of the morning.

Duck Rice

Hidden away in Pulau Tikus opposite Tan Mark bookstore is my favourite duck rice coffee shop.


It's a small cosy coffee shop with difficult parking. However if you are going to eat there you can park just in front of the shop.


They have special soups as side dishes which you have to try. My favorite is the Lau Ti Mun( old cucumber) and the watercress soup.


You can have a combination of roast pork, cha siew and duck of course.


Plus the fresh groin green chilly.


And duck drippings which give the rice a fragrant ducky aroma.

Koay Chiap

Ah back in Penang again and time to update my blog. Sorry for the lapse. Having my favorite breakfast in Pulau Tikus. Duck soup noodles.

Teh Tarik

Ahh yes a nice hot Teh Tarik is what you need for a break. It is usually diabetes inducingly sweet so you can ask for less sugar which is better for your health. Still a shot of that sweet Ceylon tea with condensed milk pulled and aerated between two mugs is something I miss.
This Teh Tarik in Geelong is at Rich Maha and I can say it is quite authentic.
