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.
ReplyDeleteas 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.
ReplyDeleteWe 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.

ReplyDeleteThere are plenty more waiting for you in your next visit.

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!
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
