al fresco

Guess the price of all the above food? Only MYR4! The Teh Tarik (pulled tea) drink is MYR1 and each of the egg prata (roti telur) costs MYR1.50 only. So so affordable.

But you need to sit under the trees by the roadside like in the above photo. Could you eat in comfort?

There are a few stalls serving food in this area, along the walkway of some shops which have not opened in the early morning yet.

On another visit, we ordered a bowl of fish slices with meehoon in clear noodle soup with lots of ginger in the soup for only MYR7 with many slices of fish meat (Sang Yu aka haruan aka snakehead fish - not dory). Delicious! This bowl would be more than MYR10++ elsewhere.

Maggi Mee Goreng (Stir fried instant noodle) - MYR2.50 nett
Guess we could still find affordable food if we are not picky about the ambiance.

  2. I tend to avoid such places unless the weather is cool. Would look for places with fans and plonk myself underneath or beside one. Don't mind buying to take home to eat if there's anything nice, but no, I would not eat there. I am not all that fond of air-conditioned places either...especially those on full-blast, making the food go cold so quickly, not nice.

  4. Hi Mun, I wouldn't mind eating under the shady trees by the road side but not when the weather is really hot. We still have places like this in Ipoh too! I prefer my roti plain and crispy. Once in a while I will eat roti telur or roti sardine. Roadside stalls charges are usually cheaper than the shops.

  7. Very very cheap!!! Sometimes the best food could be found in least expected place. I do not mind eating here but over in Kuching, hard to find such stalls. Mostly move to hawker centres as per council's demand.

  8. That's a steal at RM4 and I don't mind sitting under the trees. With rising cost, we should seek out these type of no frills makan places.

    2. Cook at home also must use affordable ingredients and not those expensive ingredients.

  9. I AM sitting under trees for lunch on a regular basis, you know... There's still quite a bit of such eateries in Penang.

    I think people can sell food at a cheaper price, if they really want to. I guess it depends on their target customers. Maybe this place is surrounded by low cost housings so if they sell expensive, they won't get business?

    1. You have a point here. I thought you eat lunch in the company's canteen? That's not under trees, right?
