Penang Lor Mee

Today is Christmas Eve but this year, Hubs and I are not going to celebrate it. Why would anyone be anti-christmas? No, I can assure you we are still very in love with Christmas. It's just that we celebrated it earlier and it's the first time in Singapore. So we just went out to have a simple dinner at somewhere near Komtar. I couldn't give the exact direction. Afterall, I'm direction illiterate (if there's such word). But here's a picture that hopefully will be able to give some guidance.

Parking is not a major problem as the carpark is situated just a few steps away. It has an entrance of those chinese style, so for sure you won't miss it.

Hubs said this shop sells wild boar soup and monitor lizard soup in the afternoon. They are like Bak Kut Teh but only with different soup base. Personally, he doesn't dare to try the monitor lizard, so he opted for wild boar soup. It was delicious as he commented but he suspect that the soup has a lil bit of monitor lizard in it too. I, for one, will definitely skip this shop if I ever pass by in the afternoon. Both of the name (wild boar and monitor lizard) already made my goosebumps stand straight up.

At night, there are several stalls operating there. Namely, Koay teow th'ng, lor mee, char hor fun. The tables and chairs are set by the side alley. Tonight was only the second time I went there. And I ordered the same food, i.e. the famour lor mee and belacan fried chicken. From the look, it's definitely not appetizing. The black gravy makes it looks somehow yucky but trust me, the taste it so good I craved for it after the first time there. This was not the normal lor mee from hokkien mee stall. It was cooked to taste like shark fin soup. At least that's how I can think of after the first mouthful. If I'm not mistaken, the ingredient include rice wine and vinegar. If you don't like vinegar, you can ask the Uncle not to put it. And he is very generous with the fish fillet and fish cake. See the chunck of fillet in the picture? A bowl of lor mee costs RM3.80. Not a cheap one but I must admit the portion is quite big.

Another must try is the belacan fried chicken. The stall is located to the other side of the carpark entrance but you can order and the seller will deliver to your table. The crispy-ness and the smells...oh so good. A piece of chicken cost RM1.80 while a chicken butt costs Rm0.80. It was Hubs fav, so that will not be missed out in the picture, applogize for that.

That's all for now. Couldn't comment on other stalls as we have yet to try them out. The lor mee and belacan chicken are already too much for our tummy.
