Rice with stir-fried minced chicken

Cold Lemon Grass - Just top up RM 2 for set lunch

Quick lunch set! Served with watermelon too!

The dish that can't be missed when eating Thai Food ~ Tom Yam Soup with prawn (RM 9.90)

The first thought of this soup was not spicy because it's looked so clear. You will feel it's spiciness as soon as you drink the first sip. 

The menu indicates the spicy level was just 1 chili. I can't imagine for the 2 or 3 chili level.

 I think this is one of the traditional snack food in Malaysia and it is a nice snack for all day no matter breakfast or supper. 

It can be found at any pasar pagi or pasar malam (wet market or night market) in KL area and Penang

It was a simple snack food made of flour dough, and then deep fried

This hawker stall at Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang is the most delicious fried flour dough after I tried so many at KL & Penang

Must try ~ 花子 (translated in english which mean flower, because the shape after deep fried it looks like a flower), it is the most delicious of the fried flour dough, crunchy and a little sweetness and aroma with sesame. Really good!
