Min Jiang is a coffee shop in Ayer Itam Road which is located a few houses away from the Nissan showroom. There are quite a number of stalls there. Highly recommended is the Thai Tomyam stall which is run by a lady and operates only from 8.00 pm onwards. The taste of the tomyam soup is one of the better ones that we have tasted so far and one tends to finish it. A bowl costs RM6 with big size prawns, sotong and fish slices and garnished with lots of coriander leaves.

We used to eat Oh Chien (fried oyster omelette), how about Hier Chien (fried prawn omelette)? There is a stall selling this omelette that uses prawns and cooked with a flour mixture until brown and garnished with chopped spring onions. A bit of lime juice enhanced the flavour.

Grilled fish.

Evenly grilled chicken satay (sold by a Malay family) comes with the usual sliced cucumber and pieces of raw onions. This stall also starts selling from 8.00pm onwards.The food served here are worth trying out but don't go on a Sunday because the coffeeshop is closed on that day.

Fishball noodles also known as koay teow soup is basically a bowl of noodles in clear soup with fishballs, sliced fish cake and sliced meat. This Penang hawker food can be found all over town. The stall that we are mentioning in this post is in the Anson Road wet market - which operates in the morning.

Besides a bowl of noodles (have it either dry or with soup), their side dishes are worth trying out. We had a plate of chicken legs and pig intestines.

And another side dish that is rarely found nowadays is the duck intestines. It has a very crunchy texture and served with some light soya sauce and some garlic oil.

All these side dishes goes very well with the noodles.

When Penang was under the British rule, alot of buildings were erected and their designs were majestic and impressive. Over the years, some of these buildings were left abandoned and not being maintained. As a result, most of them is an eyesore.

Lately these few years, Penangites began to appreciate all this heritage buildings and slowly restoring them. Hubby and myself went around the town to capture images of some of these buildings. Most of them are found along Beach Street.

Beautiful artistic iron works.

The newly restored High Court.

We were glad that the owners and the Penang government have taken the initiative to bring back all these buildings to its majestic state again but there are still alot of them left run down or abandoned. Hopefully we get to see more of them being restore in the near future.
