Penang Road Trip

"My papa drives a very big car."

"My one has 3 cars. One can take many people."

"My daddy no need to drive, we have driver."

You might think most kids like to show off. Why they never taught to be humble.

But in actual, we all like to think what we are having is the best in this world. I am the best, or I have the best makes me feel special.

Penang Char Kuey Teow, the best?

What is the best food in Penang? Plenty you will say.

But where can we enjoy the best Char Kuey Teow?
Penang? Probably.

And, where is the most expensive Char Kuey Teow serving?
Penang, probably.



Giant prawn, they are juicy, springy and fresh! Kuey Teow was fried under charcoal fire. I love the aroma. RM6.50 per small plate? I can eat 3 sets with no regreat. My stomarch will thank my wallet for life.





Compare with the Kuey Teow, my stomarch did not appreciate these Poh Piah that much.


Well, this is the small shop atLorong Selamat. I think it serve better Char Kuey Teow than the "Sisters". Althought "Sisters" has secreat weapon - crab meat.

Penang food... nice and cheap!

Everybody knows that Penang full of good food. Even when you simply sit on a road side store you probably might find surprises.

I used to travel to Penang quite often for work. Friends took me to some food which make me want it again and again. I wonder if you know these foods?

The first food that inspired me when I first enter Penang 5 years ago was this mamak restaurant call Hameed Soup. It is located at Penang Road, few blocks away from Cititel.

People sit along the corridors and soups served as you request.

This is my favourite soup, soup kambing. I heard this is the best in Penang. I never agreed. I thought it is the best in Malaysia!

*****

Gurney Drive serve various local specialty for tourist. I don't think the food there is the best in that island. But I can have almost everything there.

Pasembur. I thought it is just another variance of rojak?

Pasembur is rojak with deep fried seafood, sausage, meatballs, etc. I love fried sotong rojak.

Never miss my Penang laksa every time I touch the island.

*****

This stall locate just opposite of the ferry jetty, in Penang island. It opens in the evening. Simple stall, serving great tea.

When I look at that pot of boiling ginger soup I immediately realise what a perfect cup I will have that day.

This is the best teh halia I had ever have so far. And it is cheap!
