More Hawker Food in Alor Star

This shop is located right opposite of Timuran... it used to be quite dead until this guy who used to run Old Tune in Pekan Cina took over. Was quite sad when Old Tune closed down as it was one of the better places to go for plain broth in a setting that reminisces the the early days of Malaya. Old black and white pics from the pre and post Malaya era decorated the walls. Old Tune was a really quaint place and they served such good porridge. The duck was especially good. Anyway, this is his venture now. Next to it is the Sayang Cake House. It does not have that quaint look now but by the looks of things, it's getting busier. More stalls are still being set up.

Anyway, I kinda like the choices available here. But the place could do with a little facelift. It looks kinda run down. Anyway, in this one shop lot, the food is not bad.

The yee mee is actually quite good. But you better hope the cook does not have too many orders or you'll have to wait a long time.

This is one of those places where you can get pig's maw pepper soup cooked with salted vegetable and mushroom. You have to order it from the mixed rice stall... but it wasn't open the day I took this pic. Next it is the ju-char, where you can order fried Hokkien mee, nying-nyong, fried bee hoon, etc, etc. Also there is a wantan mee stall.

Duck rice is available should you crave for one. The duck sauce is not too bad, one of the better ones I've taken. But the roast meat doesn't taste that good now. Used to be better when it was at Old Tune. All in all, this place is worth checking out. There's a stall selling Roti John too should you suddenly feel like having one.

There is also a tomyam stall. For RM4, you get tomyam mee with a few prawns and some fresh mushroom. I've eaten better tomyam, especially at Fresh but this one I'd rate as boleh tahan-lah.

The latest addition is the Western Corner. It has the usual western fare...chicken, fish. The place still undergoing changes. The last time I went, the arrangements of stalls had change again.
