More pork bits ...

I certainly did not expect McDonalds to be known as McThai in Thailand obviously. Having said that, its like terming McDonalds around the world differently, McAustralia (which we fondly call Mackers) or McMalaysia (McD). note: McDonalds in Australia and Msia are definitely not termed as McAustralia/ McMalaysia.

But the joy of McThai is the Samurai Pork Burger. I had to order it, without a thought.

The sauce which coated the meat was sweet and yummy (sorry for my lack of description-but it was indeed yummy). Just loved it-novelty is the great parent of pleasure. And the pleasure was definitely all mine =)

Let's go 'Ah Balling'!

After a night of sightseeing, my cousin and her friends took me to one of those hawker centres for supper. Ok, it was more like dessert for me.

The 'Ah Balling' stall sells 'tang yuan' (i.e. glutinous rice balls) served in peanut soup. Each bowl of 'Ah Balling' (no idea why it's called that) consists of four balls *only!* so I decided to try one of each of the four fillings - yam, red bean, peanut and black sesame.

My bowl of 'tang yuan'!


The yam filling which I was disappointed with. I couldn't even tell it was yam!

Traditional red bean. It was ok. I didn't get excited over it.

Peanut-filled 'tang yuan'. Yummilicious! Will eat this again.


The black sesame. Super liked this! It is on my 'must eat' list.

Khor- thod a.k.a Sorry

A way outdated post, I have to apologise (even if it is to my team members). As my faithful comrades, they do know that my world has been spun around so much in the last 5 weeks. That has been how long since I've been back in the Land down under.

Anyway, picture tells a thousand words. Get ready for my many thousand words on my Hatyai trip. =)

'Áncient Ice-cream'. With such an interesting name, I just had to try it.

 Look at the rainbow coloured blocks.

Chocolate sauce wasn't the best thing to put on every single flavoured icecream. But they were just like ice cream potong, what else am I expecting?

 Wonton noodles? I am quite sure it wasn't just wonton noodles.

Pork trotters which I barely touched. Had them with the wonton noodles, and the sauce/ gravy was really good.

Tomyum bihun noodles. I could find better tomyum noodles elsewhere, but the bihun was meant to be Thailand's specialty.

Cute little kuehs that I had during our buffet dinner in Lee Gardens. RM10/Aud$3 for a buffet dinner!

Beef soup noodles, with the best chillis. Fish sauce and chilli powder is awesome!

Roasted coconut, I totally adore coconut juice despite possible allergy issues. By the way, I hate coconut cream/milk!  

Pork satays! Everywhere in Thailand, you get pork pork and more pork. A holiday so different from Malaysia.

More coconut juice, just a more luxurious version. =D Expensive little coconut.

Pretty maize but totally deceiving. I bought it as it reminded me of some childhood memories, however it tasted nothing like I remembered. They boiled the maize till its cooked and left the best in that pot of water.

Half boiled eggs, apparently they have better eggs than Malaysia too! Higher in Omega 3, so I've heard.

Kampung chicken rice, awesome!

It was a short 3 days 2 nights trip, but I've definitely enjoyed myself and the company. Hate to feel sickish at my last day though when I missed out on more food. Nevertheless, I can never stop thinking of more holidays or even Bangkok in the future!

Best Chicken Rice Ever!

What does an Asian girl residing overseas crave the most? CHICKEN RICE! Seriously, I was deprived of proper Hainanese chicken rice for such a long time as they do not make tasty chicken rice over here (or I haven't come across anything authentic as yet).

When I visited my cousin in Singapore recently, she was a bit speechless when I requested for chicken rice but she took me to the so-called #1 chicken rice hawker stall in Singapore nonetheless. I was a bit sceptical at first and even more so when I was told that only steamed chicken was served. Growing up with roasted chicken rice, steamed chicken did not have the same appeal. But how wrong was I?!

The Tong Fong Fatt Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice at the Golden Shoe Foodcourt is absolutely amazing. The rice, drizzled with dark soya sauce, was complemented with the boneless chicken in yummy gravy. It also came with a bowl of clear soup and ginger and chilli sauces (but of course!). It was really the yummiest chicken rice I have had in ages. Trust me. That plate of chicken rice even made a fussy eater like me enjoy the meal tremendously.

If you are planning a holiday in Singapore, I recommend you to stop by. There are many other local delights at the foodcourt, but I still urge you to give this chicken rice stall a try. The foodcourt is flooded with customers during lunchtime so if you do decide to try it out, remember to visit just before or just after the peak lunch hour!
