We found two stalls dishing out this delicacy within a radius of five metre in Jalan Imbi hawker centre. Both stalls are equally busy, charge at RM 3.00 per plate and serve with green plastic plate. Here's the outcome from the sampling. The one with the penang label is slightly too sweet, with soggy shrimps, rubbery cockles, and served on a small piece of banana leaf. The one labeled as teow-chew is rather savoury, no shrimp, cockles are soft, and no banana leaf as garnish. Overall, round one, sad to say, goes to the teow-chew! If you want to spot a penangite or a hokkien, here's a little clue. Listen carefully. When it's pronounced as fried kuey teow, you'll know the speaker is from some where else. We, the penangites, still love to call this, char-kuey-tiao!
My good friend, Mr. T and his mysterious japanese fiance suggested to have their wedding reception in this posh restaurant. All for the sake of this piece-of-art. What a loo!
If you have couple of hours to kill in the bukit bintang area, try this! Warm muffin, Sport Cup and free wi-fi. Other recommendations include caffe latte with fresh pastries baked daily. Where's this place? *hint* answer in pic.
A praying mantis was resting at my gate this morning. Consider a giant in its own league! It measured three to four inches. Guess the deluge overnight forced it to seek refuge in our place. Everyone has hard time, so as this little stranger. If you want to survive, leave your comfort zone and explore the unknown! Your prayer will be answered soon.
Mind me, if you're coming from a food paradise like penang you'll tend to have a tendency to find the food that best capture the strong color and fragrance, and feeling! Yes! there's feeling involve as well when we savor our food. Vince and i stumbled upon this outlet at mid valley some time ago. From there, we're hooked instantly. Their nasi lemak penang is definitely out-of-tis-world. I personally favors the fish over the chicken. For RM9.00 per dish, it's a good steal! Comes with three distinctive flavours of sambal. One with ikan bilis, another with the fish slice. The sambal next to the egg as pic is the best among the rest. The udang asam are firm and fresh. The kopi-tiam interior is friendly and simple. i wonder what makes one takes the madam kwan version at RM13.30. Could anyone tell me?
Welcome to the first step of my insatiable quest ... for the best penang food!
