Hsin Guang Dong Xiao Chu Restaurant is located beside Pacific’s ground floor parking. It is one of the many restaurants along the row of shops, with 2 serving Vietnamese food. I dined here twice when I was completing my industrial training in the Perai’s Industrial Zone. That was 3 years ago.. Anyway expect to see lots of wantan in this post lol.

At Hsin Guang Dong Xiao Chu, you can expect to find roasted meat rice or noodles and a wide selection of Chinese dishes, even sharksfin soup! Shown here was supposed to be our dessert - Wintermelon Sago, but it was the first to come lol. It costs RM2.00, and I felt that it was a bit watery. Definitely better if more sago and wintermelon bits were given.

Prawn wantan soup @ RM3.50 - contains 6 medium sized wantan. The wantan tasted very sweet, so nice. We have tried making our own wantan but they won’t turn out so tasty.. I wonder if they put a lot of MSG in it

Original Hong Kong style Wantan Noodles @ RM3.50.

Stewed Beef Noodles @ RM5.50. This is a bit pricey but I like the beef a lot, especially the springy beef stomach :drool: I can’t help but notice that this restaurant’s condition has deteriorated much within 3 years. I do hope they put more effort in maintaining the restaurant to attract even more customers (not that its business is bad, it was full house when I went!)

Well, lets take a break from food shall we lol. Last weekened I went for a movie titled Flushed Away in Pacific. It is a quite new movie featuring some really famous actors lending their voices to the characters. They include Hugh Jackman (X-men, The Prestige), Kate Winslet (Titanic), Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) and Ian McKellen (X-men, Lord of the Rings). Flushed Away’s plot revolves around a pet mouse - Roddy (Hugh Jackman) of a rich family in London. While the family was on a vacation, he was all alone and was eventually flushed into a toilet by Syd, another mouse who invaded his home.

Then, the movie carries on how he returned to the surface from the sewers with the help of Rita (Kate Winslet). But this is no easy task because a bad guy, well a toad (Ian McKellen) actually wants to catch them. And he is the helped by his not-so-useful goon (Andy Serkis). Expect a lot of spoofs and parody involving England (FIFA World Cup) and France

It has been a long time since I last watched an animated movie (Wallace and Gromit) and I am glad I did it again. Go watch it, you won’t be disappointed by Flushed Away as it delivers a lot of laughter.. especially everytime the cute slugs appear and sing songs with their high pitched voice.

Mei Siang Way is another dim sum restaurant in Bukit Mertajam 大山脚 which claims to serve authentic Hong Kong dim sum. We went there last weekend on a special ‘mission’ and it had nothing to do with tasting the dim sum

The dim sum sold here is pretty standard.. nothing special that’s worth mentioning. So.. that’s all about it, the end of this short post lol. These are some close up shots of the dim sum we had that day, enjoy!

Bukit Mertajam is a town that sleeps early. It is quite difficult to find food (un-mamak style) after 10pm except in the town area and Bukit Tengah. This post will bring us to a hawker centre joint by three restaurants opposite Ping Min primary school in Bukit Tengah. Food stalls are many but the only problem here is to find a decent parking.

Double Taste is the restaurant being featured.

A Crab Meat Char Koay Teow stall operates beside the restaurant. Selling @ RM3.00 per plate, it has 3 large prawns and some crab floss dressed on top of the koay teow. The koay teow itself was quite good but I hardly felt eating any crab at all lol. Well, what to expect? For a crab already costs RM2 in the market.
