When I ran out of fresh produce to cook soups and didn’t have time to pay the market a visit, I usually fall on cooking this soup. This is because I always have peanuts at home and it is good enough to make a delicious clear soup.

I cook on most weekends and sometimes I’d be too busy to prepare complicated dishes so I’d usually cook something simple, easy and healthy too. So, I tried out some of my chicken breast recipes.

We are die-hard Hainan chicken rice and (char siew) roast pork fans so we tend to try out quite a lot of chicken rice stalls all over Penang. One of the stalls we often frequented is the one at Kristal Coffee Shop.

They have absolutely delectable roasted chicken, roasted pork and yes, even roasted duck.

This is what we usually order when there’s five of us lunching there (including in-laws lar). I simply love their:
Those of you into Thai Food, well, head on over the New World Park for the Thai Food Fair being held there until end of this month.
And this is not one of those traveling Thai Food Fairs that are usually being held at shopping complexes like Midlands Park and Sunshine Farlim. This is much, much better and yep, different.
The stalls are especially sourced by the Thai Consulate and it is organised by the Thai consulate so it is definitely better than those run-of-the-mill Thai fairs that are held at different locations for weeks and sometimes, months on . . . → Read More: Authentic Thai Food Fair
This hawker complex used to be called the Seahorse Food Court when it first opened and initially, it has quite a lot of really great stalls offering really delicious hawker food.

The array of delicious deep fried snacks
These snacks at a hawker food complex in Nibong Tebal are quite different from the usual pisang goreng stall you’d find by the roadside on the island. Some of the fritters can’t be found on the island at all. So, it is really worth a try.
