These are some of the yummy food I've enjoyed over a couple of trips there. I didn't note down exactly where or which stall we ordered from so forgive me for leaving out accurate location details.
Macalister Road's Char Kway Teow. Good wok hei (that wok charring taste) here. The Chee Cheong Fun is delicious too with silky strips of rice noodles and thick gravy. Couldn't shake the image of rat glue out of my mind though.

Bali Hai Restaurant on Gurney Drive is one of our favourite dim sum hangouts. I love the place because of the ambiance. The waterfront view and sea breeze makes the experience of eating here so satisfying.

Hameed Pata's Mee Sotong. This is the stuff of legend in Penang. Fried noodles paired with super spicy squid that's guaranteed to draw out beads of sweat. I consider it a great achievement to finish a plate of this.

Edgecumbe Road's Fried Noodles. It was ok-ish. Satisfying but not something I would purposely make my way here for.

The pork belly and pickled veggie dish at a hawker stall in a shop along Jalan Burma. This was served with plain rice and an egg on top. It's the kind of meal that says comfort food, Asian home-cooking style. I totally enjoyed this one.

Finally, the famous Penang Road Teochew cendul! An iced jelly, coconut dessert that will always be the perfect thing to have in Penang because of the humid weather.

What's your favourite Penang food? For me, Batu Lanchang's jelly fish pasembur (not pictured here) takes top spot. I'll try to take a pic of it one day.
I am salivating over the Char Kway Teow!!!
ReplyDeleteChar kway teows are a must-have for anyone visiting Penang ;) The bean sprouts and the way it's fried is so delicious!
DeleteSaw my favourite prawns, hehe...
ReplyDeleteHaha ..now I know who to bring for seafood buffets! ;)
DeleteOpening. Food haven. Char kway teow is a must when visit Penang.
ReplyDeleteI so agree, Rose! Penangites make the best version :D
DeleteOoh mai, semua so sedap, lama dah tak ke Penang, I miss the food.
ReplyDeleteTime for another trip, Ez. Penang has developed into a really nice place :D
DeletePenang is on my top most place to visit now after looking at all the food show here!
ReplyDeleteIpoh is on mine because of you, Nancy ..haha! ^.^
DeleteGosh, Penang Kway Teow is one of my favourite dishes! Let's go eat together some day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHaha ...I look forward to this foodie date, Shirley! xx ^.^
DeleteOh no, this is my 3rd attempt to post in this comment box and hope it won’t go missing half way again.
ReplyDeleteI said that LGE should give you a Gold Medal for conquering all the best food corners in Penang. I have not been to Bali Hai and quite curious after looking at your table of food! Being a Penang born, it is true that the folks hardly cook but eat out or tapao back very often as it is more delicious and cheap too.
Kakaka..must be the line. One of mine didn't make it to your blog too. I was too lazy to re-type so I wrote a shorter one!! Forgive me! (~.^) LGE has certainly turned Penang around. I wish I can say the same for where I'm from and where I'm living.
DeleteI agree with you

Haha..so true, Emily! ;D
