Supper Jiao Sai aka Yunus Khan （鸟粪）@ Argyll Road

I was told by my roommate that there is a restaurant name Jiao Sai ( Bird Shit in Hokkien) in George town. Omg! I was so shocked as I have never heard this funny name along the years I have been studying in Penang Island.

I told my pal about it and she was as excited as me. So we went there last week to experience "Jiao Sai". Thanks to foursquare, it showed the exact location and also what must be tried there. The dish that is highly recommended is Tomyam Fried Mee (Mee Goreng Tomyam). 

The picture below shows the signboard of the shop. You can see the wording 鸟粪, Jiao Sai, and also there are the bird shits stick on the signboard. I believe that it may be disgusting to some, but to me,  it's so funny.

Well, we reached about 9pm, and there were just a couple of customers. I believe crowd starts after 10pm, as we could see more people coming when we were about to finish our dinner at around 10 pm. Usually there are few waiters standing outside. They are so friendly and keep asking us to take the photo. We do ask why is the shop named so, but too bad non of them can answer.

We ordered the famous Tomyam Fried Noodle. Since, it was not crowded, our dish was served within 10minutes.

Well, the noodle is a little different, because they use the Tomyam Instant Noodle from Thailand where the noodle is thinner and more chewy. Yeah. it is delicious for sure, as the noodle itself has a fragrant aroma of  Tomyam, the specialty of Thailand instant noodle. The Tomyam Fried Mee is quite spicy. So for people who do not like spicy food can probably ask for less spicy when you place the order. It is served with sliced chicken meat and a half boiled fried egg. The chicken meat was too hard to chew and I felt that it was overcooked.

The shop also serve other different types of fried noodle, and roti canai. So, there are quite variety of food to choose for. Overall I give the noodle 6/10. As I felt that it was just a simple food, and I think it is prepared by the MSG of the Tomyam Instant Noodle too. Just pay a visit for the specialty of the shop name.

Best Nasi Lemak @ Subaidah

Tips for USMers.

It's glad to study in USM, where it's really easy to get some appetizing foods, pleasant places and the best thing is it is located in this beautiful Penang island. I would like to share some of the best food around USM that I fancy. Don't doubt me, you will never regret to pay a visit.

1. Nasi Lemak @ Subaidah, Perkaka
I believe that one of the favorite hanging place is Mamak. Most USMers go to Khaleel, because it is the nearest to our hostel. However, I prefer Subaidah, which is located at Perkaka. It is always crowded especially when there are any football games on Live.

The most ordered and remarkable food here is -- Nasi Lemak. It starts to serve at 10.30pm. The average waiting time is minimum half an hour. So, it is recommended to go earlier to avoid the long queue.

The Nasi Lemak is served with fried egg, cucumber, peanut and fried chicken. The most scrumptious is their fried chicken. It is crisply appealing. Besides, I like the fragrance of Pandan, and Lemak of the rice. The rice is a lil sticky and moisture which is my favorite type too. I am sure that this is irresistible and the taste will allure you to try again whenever you feel hungry at night.

Undeniably this is a heavy supper. Thus, it is not suitable to eat contently  for healthy cautious. * even though we eat quite often during study week =.= *

Nasi Beratur the Best Nasi Kandar in Penang

The long standing brand name since 1943

It's well known that Penang has very good Nasi Kandar
Nasi Kandar is just another masterpiece of Mamak of this cultural town
The best of the best Nasi Kandar in Penang is definitely "Nasi Beratur"
It is not hard to find it is just located beside the famous Kapitan Keling Mosque
lets check some photo of it

What a simple stall

"Beratur" means queue up, and this is what really happens every night here from 9 something

Another look at the "Nasi Kandar showcase"

A handsome guy is picking his dish, no worry, most of them can speak in English

You don't judge it by this messy look, their "Kuah Campur" is the best I have ever tasted, fragrance, aromatic, not too spicy

To me the "centerpiece" of a plate of awesome Nasi Kandar is the "Kuah Campur" or translated as "mixed sauces". This Beratur is simply just good at cooking delicious curry and sauce. 

Just tell the guy "Kuah Campur", and with any dishes regardless, it will be a memorable taste of Penang

Beside fried chicken, there are also a range of other Mamak dishes like Mutton, Beef, Squid, Prawn etc etc. It's recommended to try fried chicken it is crispy and aromatic. And squid is not recommended, as it is too hard and the taste of the cooking isn't that nice, it cost RM6- RM10 per piece.
