looks like you enjoy your self, especially eating at Hotel and at restaurants, Pity you did not try out more of the food at the Kopi tiams, The coffee shop Hawker food taste better and its the essence of penang food.
as for getting penang food to hong kong why not, can post it right, if the price is right.
We were just in Penang too - how yummy!! The Hawkers were so good that we never ate in a restaurant - except to do High Tea at the exceptional E&O Hotel.
We found the best curry puffs at a stall outside the Burma Road Market and great Chilli Crab in Penang Road.
Spent a lot of time along Gurney Drive because we were staying there and there was excellent Indian Mamak breads and curries on the road between the Island Mall & Gurney Plaza.
The best satay though was in KL amongst the Chinatown/Petaling Street hawkers.
hi,just stumbled upon your blog...its nice to know that you enjoyed the Penang food.
There are plenty more waiting for you in your next visit.
Wow ... Delicious ... Especially banana pancake .. looks yummy ...
Grrr .. Hungry ...
My god,
I'm gonna put Malaysia on my to-visit list now,
Wish I'll make it there before end of the year!
weh itu work trip apa culinary trip ?
Wow, you definitely had your share of great food. And lucky you managed to get the sambal udang piah, I searched high and low in Melaka and couldn't find it. :(
Dude lady! Did you double in size? ;)
Everything looks so good.
im suffereing fr toothache now but still after looking at those pictures, id do almost anything to get my hands on them. i want satay! i want chicken rice!
speaking of chicken rice at kfc, i never knew they have rice now. did u get the salt & pepper shaker? im so gonna ask my bro to get them for me. theyr so cute!
S&T, I got the salt and pepper shakers with the chicken chop meal - another local specialty. They are ceramic, I was expecting melamine so a nice bonus.
hi snapshots, yeah...too bad i didnt get to try more street food T_T
hi stickyfingers, wow! i am so green with envy sob sob
cklam, i think i needed a local foodie guide hehe
cindy, you really have to visit...go to penang, it really is a beautiful place, if only i was there for a holiday hehe

hi ching! yeahhh i looooveeee the sambal udang piah (i have this thing for savory snacks)..if only i bought more...my friends are all crazy about them!
ehm wandering chopsticks, i chose not to answer the question HAHAHA
hi s&t...you have to try it! I am thinking of cooking the chicken rice at home and get some KFC chicken delivered to replicate the KFC chicken rice experience hehehe...gosh...i didnt really pay attention to the salt and pepper shakers T_T (the chicken rice blinded me lahhhh T_T)
hohoho stickyfingers...i was contemplating ordering both meals (chicken rice & chicken chops) but didnt wanna scare my already shocked co-workers with my capacity hehehe (they were already asking me "you really need to eat those TWO pcs of chicken???!!!!")
wow, in just a short span of time ~ that was a heck of a lot of food to digest!
That's some culinary journey ~ what fun that must have been....I think I'd been recovering for quite some time after that one! Thanks for sharing it all & welcome back.
