Vinegar Lor Mee/Tomyam Noodles at Fountain Cafe, Carnarvon Street, Penang

One fine cloudy hot night + Two extremely hungry people = Problem.

Each one takes turn to suggest a place to eat = Solution.

But sadly, Solution failed miserably because everything that he has suggested, she'd say no and vice versa.

And then all of a sudden, SOMEONE (can't remember whether its her idea or his) mentioned "Lor Mee, vinegar eh!" and that was all that we needed to hear.

Straight formula 1 to the kopitiam.

We didn't even have to think what to order because we have been there many times. And everytime we were there, we always OVER-ORDER like seriously! The last time we ordered the Lor Mee (for 2) and then chicken rice (for 2 also) and 12 pieces of deep fried tofu. And fried oyster? I can't remember d.. It was crazeee! (we managed to finish all, but it was crazy torturing..)

So this time, we only ordered what we wanted to eat, and what we thought was quite our favourite. We were tempted to order side dishes but we resisted the temptations!
*everyone claps* Yes, we are indeed very proud of ourselves :)


Tomyam Maggi Soup


He says: This one is so so la. But for those who prefer tomyams which are more of a sour and spicy type then you should go for it!  
She says: It's not a bad tomyam, it's not an awesome tomyam. It's pretty delicious! It's okayly good! :)


This is the shop that sells the tomyam and many other items. This time wasn't our first time ordering the tomyam. That menas we kinda like the dish!

Vinegar Lor Mee
He says: A very special lor mee! Unlike the usual lor mee(s) outside, this one got the taste of vinegar. Also, it tastes a bit like shark fin soup! =D You gotta try this yo!
She says: Calling all shark fin soup lover, this you sure like! I don't really like taking shark fin soup cos I'm not a vinegar-kind-of-person, but this dish changes my liking status towards vinegar, for sure. LOVE THIS DISH TO THE HARDCORE! MUST TRY!

The stall that's behind that brilliant dish!


Kitchen.

Both of the stalls are located in a kopitiam, or should I say neighboring coffeeshops! You'll be able to see based on the photos that we took from our lovely Samsung S2! :)

The lor mee stall is at the very left side of the photo below (in the first nameless kopitiam) and the tomyam in the Kafe Fountain. Many other things to eat there!

Famous Hokkien Mee/Wan Tan Mee at Mt. Erskine Market, Penang

We, not morning people definitely! And we do not usually eat breakfast unless we are meeting up with friends or it's a special day kind of thing.

So on one of the Sunday, we decided to wake up earlier than planned to go have breakfast. 
Why?
Because we have to go to Tanjung Bungah's beach to help a friend with a short video shooting, so why not have breakfast first, right?

and we took few shots of our own, just because the last time we were at a beach was long time agooo! 
So here you go, the two authors of this awesome-possum food blog! :D

Okay, back to the breakfast. So since we were gonna travel up north, he suggested Mt. Erskine Market. And the market we went. 

The man and women behind the stall. So, what do they sell? 

This uncle can multi-task, because he sells two items!

First: Hokkien Mee
but the one we ordered is different. 
We ordered Hokkien Mee with Wan Tan Mee Noodles - RM3.00
 He says: Yummy.. The fusion of wan tan mee's mee and hokkien mee's th'ng! haha! Good food =) Try this peeps! =D
She says: A very unique combination. The soup is good. Not great but good. 

Second: Wan Tan Mee - RM3.00
He says: Normal la.. The same old same old. =) However, the texture of the noodle is just nice!
She says: Noodles not too soft and not to hard. The black sauce that they use is superb! Very aromatic! and their dumplings are very soft. Definitely a win compared to the hokkien mee.

There are so many things to eat in the market, so in order for you to know which stall this is, we are gonna show you this. It's a separate part of the whole market. It's like the second division or something. It's behind this plastic-ish curtain. On the right side of the photo, it's the clean public toilet.
