Botanical Garden & Wong Chau Jun (Fish head noodles) Penang- Part 1

It all started from a simple daily conversation with my dear.

Dear: My dear, I feel like eating penang food-la.

Me: Let’s go then!

 

I was in charged for selecting the comfortable accommodation while my dear’s duty is to scout for delicious penang delicacies. The journey began at 8am from Klang after we had dim sum as breakfast. I really pity my dear cause he had to do all the driving while I’m busy snoring beside him. Hehe. Our first stop was Penang Botanical Garden. It has been over 10 years since i last stepped my foot on it.

Yes! We were attacked by the monkey after my dear shouted “KAKA” at them. I ran like a mad woman as if like my RM1 million toto ticket got blown away by wind.

Mini-penang bridge and dear’s suicide attempt (Hopefully the tree branch is ok)

After a few hours under the hot sun, we are hungry and thirsty! We want food! We want food! Ok.Here come all the bad news. That day happened to be the 9th day of Nine Imperial Gods festival which means most of the stalls were closed including infamous Ah Leng CKT and the sisters CKT. We head to alternative restaurant, Wong Chau Jun Fish Head Noodle. (This restaurant was interviewed by newspapers as well as the famous 8TV food discovery program Ho Chak! - wikistreetfood) Don’t play play!

Wong Chau Jun homemade Taufu (RM8) and Prawn salad (RM13)

The taufu is seriously delicious in terms of its texture and dried shrimp sauce. Prawn salad was kinda of addictive too.

 Wong Chau Jun Spicy Fish head noodles (RM12 for 2 pax).

 

I’m a fish meat lover while my dear is a fish head lover. The staff say it is ok to mix as long as the minimum order is for 2 person. The soup is filled with lemongrass aroma (a bit too much this time-its actually our second time dining in) and chili padi. You can imagine how good it is especially after a sudden downpour.
