A bowl of Curry Mee



Curry Mee is the hawker food that are unique to Malaysia, it is made up of thin yellow noodles and thin mee-hoon(rice vermicelli) with spicy curry soup, mixture of old coconut milk (squished out from old coconut flesh), and a choice of dried tofu, prawns, cuttlefish, oyster edible pig's blood, chili sambal (extra hot spice) and mint leaves.

Some of the Curry Mee stall will encourage you to add curry chicken, not all hawker stall have that preference.

Mee Goreng

I enjoy eating, especially local hawker food. They are inexpensive but delicious. Malaysia is a country with cultural mixed, we have Indian food, Chinese food and Malay food.

This is my first sketch of the Malaysian Hawker Food, Mee Goreng.



Mee Goreng is fried noodles, very famous in Indonesia and Malaysia. Malaysia Mee Goreng are usually fried by Indians, therefore they are also known as Indian fried noodles.

It is made of thin yellow noodles fried with onion, fried tofu, chili, Indian sweet gravy, vegetables, bean sprout and egg.

Lady Portrait

I always scared of doing portrait, I find myself failed to capture it accurately. If you asked me to sketch a girl, I will end up sketching her sister.



The final sketch and the initial sketch doesn't looks the same.



Doing portrait is really hard.

St George's Anglican Church at Farquhar Street, Penang



This Anglican Church was build in 1816 using convict labour, when Colonel J.A. Bannerman was the Governor of Penang. The church was designed in the Georgian Palladian style - that's a combination of the Georgian style, named after the reigns of King George I and IV, 1714-1830; and the Palladian style, named after the Grecian architecture of a Roman called Palladius.

The first significant event to take place at the St George's Church was the marriage of Janet, daughter of Governor Bannerman, to William Edward Philips, in 1818. Services are still held at the St George's Church twice every Sunday, at 8.30am and 10.30am.

Some extracted paragraphs from HERE.

I had done a dozen of sketch theme as "Penang Building". This will be the last one, but who knows may be I will be sketching all of them again in future.
