Humanity! Prisoners are human too! In Norway, they have their prisons designed like a hotel. I wonder, if this is going to decrease the crime rates or increase. Because you can stay in a hotel-prison for FREE if you do some crimes!
See yourself: Halden Prison Is Like A Hotel

Update 19 Dec 2012: Found another tasty rojak in Penang: Rojak King
Rojak! Rojak! One of the famous food in Penang and Malaysia. You can see there is a lot of stalls selling rojak in Penang. Rojak basically is a mixture of variety of fruits, cucumber and squid and all of them are mixed with specially made paste. The paste or sauce is mixed with prawn paste, so if you are allergy to prawn, be aware! However, since it is a specially made paste, so, not all of them are nice. But there is a stall at Gurney Drive, GP Soon, is selling one of the best rojak in Penang! Normally they open during weekends because I went there a few times during weekdays and they were closed.
See the long queue? I went there at 11.10PM and I queued until 11.40PM to reach my turn. Normally, there is a long queue waiting to buy the rojak, Surprisingly, I see a lot Muslims queuing too and I noticed it wrote “Ditanggung Halal” at the stall.
The rojak is awarded as one of the Best Street Food in 2011 by this famous Celebrity Chef, Chen Hong.
They start their business at the evening and by the time I reached there, they already sold 7 big containers of rojak paste! During my turn, he opened the 8th container.
Since they are expecting a lot of customers, they pre-prepared the rojak ingredients first.
The dark paste/sauce is the Rojak paste. The crispy thing is actually fried You Tiao.
Venue: G.P. Soon Rojak, Gurney Drive, Penang (Next to Public Toilet but not near, quite a distance, don’t worry! 🙂 )
Price: Ranging from RM3 to RM7 but for take away, minimum order is RM4

A lot of people cannot really differentiate between “Hokkien Mee” and “Prawn Mee”. In Penang, Hokkien Mee is also known as Prawn Mee. When you order Prawn Mee, you are actually ordering Hokkien Mee, as it is the same dish with different names only. But in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Hokkien Mee is Tai Lok Mee, a kind of fried mee with the mee is fatter than the ordinary yellow mee. In KL, Prawn Mee is basically Penang Prawn Mee. So, Penang Hokkien Mee and KL Hokkien Mee are totally different. Prawn Mee in Sarawak is fried mee with prawn. See the differences below.
Since I am in Penang, obviously I am blogging out about Penang Hokkien Mee. Yesterday I went to 888 Hokkien Mee at Presgrave Street. The stall was packed with customers that even ordering was difficult. The Penang Hokkien Mee with pork knuckle above is the one sold at 888 Hokkien Mee at Presgrave Road. It is one of the best Hokkien Mee in Penang. Besides pork knuckle, you can add roasted pork, fishball, pig intestine and many more. Adding extra ingredients subject to extra charges.
Beside selling Hokkien Mee, they sell Loh Mee too. In Penang, the stall that sells Hokkien Mee, will sell Loh Mee too because there is a dish called Hokkien Loh (Hokkien Mee’s soup + Loh Mee’s soup). It is like Hokkien Mee marries with Loh Mee.
A bowl of 888 Hokkien Mee is never complete with a bowl of ais kacang too. If you follow my blog, I posted earlier about the New World Park Ais Kacang, this ais kacang is more like the original ais kacang but the one in New World Park is a fruit ais kacang. So, you will find that they look different. This ais kacang is nice as the syrup is so fragrant that when I walked pass through the stall, I can smell it.
If you are curious why the stall is called 888, in Cantonese, the pronunciation of “8” sounds like Fatt which means prosperous. So, 888 literally means triple prosperous.
Venue: 888 Hokkien Mee, Presgrave Street, Penang
(They have a branch at Bayan Baru, Penang)
Price:
Hokkien Mee with Pork Knuckle : RM5.80 (Medium)
Loh Mee with Roasted Pork : RM5.80 (Medium)
Ais Kacang with extra one scoop of ice cream : RM3.30
