Deliciously Penang

As promised, here are the rest of the delicious treats I had in Penang ^_^

Breakfast at Equatorial Hotel's Coffee Shop

The banana pancakes were super duper yummy! One was definitely not enough!

Lunch at Queensbay Mall Food Court

At least the food court carries some local treats ^_*

Oyster omelette

Penang Char Kway Teow

Spicy Assam Laksa

Dinner at Equatorial Hotel's Japanese Restaurant
Sometimes...during a busy event...there's no other choice but to dine in the hotel...call us pitiful, but these dishes are pretty fantastic, at very reasonable prices hehe

Soft shell crab tempura

My grilled eel rice bento


Room Service Dinners
I could almost memorize the content of Equatorial Hotel's Room Service Menu hehehe

Mee Mamak...fried noodles with a hint of peanut sauce, served with fried chicken...the perfect indulgence after a day of hard work, I fell asleep right after that, high on carb hehe

Nasi lemak set, the beef rendang is perfect, tender and tasty...and couldn't get enough of the sambal ikan bilis

Oriental grilled chicken with fries...I just craved chunky french fries that night...sorry for not ordering something Malaysian, guys hihihi

What a spread!

The comforting Kway Teow Soup

You must notice that we ordered satay everywhere we went hehehe

Lunch box from Street Eatery just outside PISA stadium

Mee Mamak...loved this...now the challenge is to recreate this in Hong Kong and let my sous chef try

Lunch at Chicken Rice Shop - Queensbay Mall

Grilled butter chicken - super tasty!

Grilled drumstick, tender meat, tasty sauce

Fried chicken dumplings

Honey BBQ chicken


Ofcourse, everything eaten with chicken rice ^_^

Seafood Dinner - Georgetown

Our van driver successfully diverted us from going to Batu Ferringhi (apparently it was too far for him), and we were pleasantly surprised by this gorgeous seaside seafood restaurant

Breath-taking view

Fresh live seafood

Are these coconuts?

ALIENS!!

Are these UFOs? or army tanks?

Juicy and tasty crayfish

Young coconut...tender meat, sweet juice

Steamed fish

Steamed big headed prawns

Crabs cooked with salted egg yolks, finger licking good!

Spicy kang kung with shrimps

Grilled stingray...gone the moment it landed on our table


Lunch at Queensbay Mall's KFC
I bet you're tired of the phrase "Queensbay Mall' already hehe

I love going to local KFC outlets to check if they serve anything local, and YES! they serve chicken rice! YUM!

and chicken chops


Dinner at Batu Ferringhi Food Court
Checking out the food stalls





Our orders

Oyster omellette, spring rolls

Grilled stingray

Satay (again!)

BBQ chicken wings

Crispy noodles with prawns hotplate

Iced white coffee

Breakfast at Penang Airport

The teh tarik was unfortunately too sweet, I could get diabetes just by looking at it...the curry puff was empty, and the pastry was hard...hehe these aren't good airport food

Goodies from Penang

These instant noodles are SUPERB...I wish I could get these in Hong Kong..the noodles were perfectly chewy, the soup base is spicy and tasty...anyone from Penang here? hehehe

Sweet and savoury preserved nutmeg

Delicate puff pastry with sticky brown sugar filling...need to eat these over the sink not to splatter pastry skin all over ^_^

We couldn't get enough of these spicy dried shrimp little cakes

YUM YUM YUM!

Pandan cakes

Brown sugar cakes

We'll miss you, delicious Penang! Does anyone export Penang goodies to Hong Kong? ^_*

PS. Did you ask how much weight I gained after this trip? Hehe...that's right, I am conveniently ignoring such questions LOL!
