My Penang Trip


After my Ipoh trip, my next destination was the Penang Island situation in the northern side of Peninsular Malaysia. I attended a friend's wedding there and she was gorgeous in her wedding dress. 

The end of something marks the beginning of a new adventure, after the wedding, I began my food hunt. 
By late evening, I was already at Gurney Paragon, a new shopping complex opened not long ago. The place was nice but my main target was the food at Gurney Drive. Luckily, we were there early to start eating. This is when the quote "sharing is caring " is high applicable. In order to savor as many food as we can, we ordered 1 plate of each food we were interested.



                     The first dish was fried oyster. I find it good as the oyster were given generously.
The next dish was the all time favorite Penang Fried Kuey Teow. It was good too.
Another famous dish ordered was the Assam Laksa. 
Lastly, we ordered the Hokkien Mee. In KL, we called it the prawn noodles. Somehow the Hokkien Mee in KL is the fried thick noodles in Black sauce while the Prawn Mee in KL is the one in the picture. 

Tadaa, that's the end of Day 1.

The next day, we had breakfast at  the Hawker stalls at Pulau Tikus. I really missed the Duck noodles stall near the police station. 
My Favorite Duck Noodles (Mee Suah) with Chicken Drumstick, the soup was fantastic.  

The carrot cake goes well as additional snack.
 
The Tom Yum noodles was spicy and appetizing.

 After our breakfast, we took a brisk walk around the area until it was near the afternoon.  Without further delay, we headed to our next destination, the famous Air Itam Laksa. We were lucky this time as the stall was just opened upon our arrival. Getting a good seat was really a bonus for me.
   The famous Air Itam Assam Laksa near Kek Lok Si Temple goes well with the sugarcane drink.

I bough Loh Bak (combination of fried foods) as snack for the trip back to KL

Next Target, Fried Kuey Teow ~
This is the Fried Kuey Teow Stall ( Kafe Heng Huat ) where the uncle/aunty cooks wearing goggles. 

 The prawns are huge, but the portion is quite small, but that gives me more room to try other food.
Cendol + Fried Kuey Teow= Awesome 

The Next Fried Kuey Teow I tried took me more than 30 mins of waiting time. 
Ah Leng Fried Kuey Teow 
The Fried Kuey Teow with the Big Prawns and Mantis Prawns was tasty, the 30 min ++ waiting time was totally worth it. Highly Recommended. 

After savoring all the food, dessert is a must. What is better than having the coconut jelly ~


The coconut with jelly  inside and the coconut flesh  
The coconut Shake with Pearls 

The dessert marks the end of My Penang trip, really gonna miss the food there. 
After that day, I shall bear the guilt of over eating and work hard to lose of the extra pounds.
