So what people often said Penang Food?? Like others I can tell you are the most fascinating moment when you step in Penang Island and hunt for food.

Well, I have take the chances to introduce some of the very Local Penang Food, please all viewer don’t expect me to intro what so ever nice restaurants or bistro & pub (perhaps for the next time).


Little story of Penang People:

I heard my colleague said Penang people are superb in looking for good cuisine, which our KL people are no way to compare with them. Well if you happen to drop by Penang, please please take out your precise from what ever, please try the Penang very own special Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Mee) .


First Destination Introduce (sequence may not proper arrange) – Chulia Street (8pm-1am)

It was glace of eyes to introduce such many type of yummy food in Penang, in Chulia Street you can find this drink named Ambra and Jambu Air Juice, taste? Great!

- Ambra and Jambu Air Juice

- Following by the Char Hor Fun with seafood combination, similar like "Gon Fu Chao - Cantonese Fried"

- while the Penang Fried Koay Teow the portion is small and allow us to try another food. Must try the penang style because you cant taste it in KL.

- Around the corner there, you will find the dumpling selling stall, must try to bite it. (contain meaty ingrediants)

- There is no different compare in KL, but the bite of it will tell you the different. Wow....is so much different with KL here...cheap but tasty mouth watering dumpling. (well, is pork meat)

Second Destination Introduce – Sg Nibong, Wah Restaurant Penang Bah Kut Teh

If don’t know the direction, please go and ask, is shouldn’t be hard to find it. This is different from what we usually take in KL, lots of PORK meat! Please non pork lover please ignore this Sorry.

- Wow..too many choices, what to choose?

just pick the choices that you think you like to eat...

- Ingredient you previous selected will put into the Hot Boil Soup with the mixture of herbs and superior sup to be served.

- I love yam rice with the soup, just simply that brought me to turn back time when my mum cook for us.(but it sell fast and offer not much - too delicious with sup together)

White rice is the replacement for yam rice when yam rice is sold off.

Well, both yam and white rice will charge different, but who care? I want to taste the different between them, but i love both - just yam taste better.

Third Destination Introduce – Kimberly Street, Long Kei Dim Sum

Well, after a day rest and wonderful dinner last night, I guess many of you wake up in the morning may asking where to eat this round? Wantan Mee or Dim Sum? Choices??

- Don’t worry I will introduce both for you, Im Dim Sum lover so I take a tour for you to Dim Sum - Long Kei Dim Sum.

- Siu Mai - one of my favorite dim sum which is make of prawn and pork meat.

- I cant name this but will try to taste it.

- Same goal cant name it, curiousity have drive me courage to taste this, well kind of new dim sum for me. Eat eat eat.....

- Egg Tar, will is familiar every way in KL as well, you know the KL Tong Kei brother egg tar are the famous.

- Ok for me only, perhaps too full after eating like lembu.

In KL many of try Dim Sum in weekend with lover or parents, well here is the same this is our Chinese culture, in Long Kei Dim Sum you can find some of the famous Dim Sum but some of it you can’t name it but is curious to try.

- Take a snap before all in my stomach haha...

In Penang, never miss out a single moment, every moment is makan time....i love this place for makan but not for staying - too expensive.

Fourth Destination Introduce – Island Glade, Innira’s Restaurant Banana Leave Rice

After resting a while from the heavy Dim Sum, now we look something is non Chinese Cuisines, please don’t be amaze Penang are not just surrounding Chinese Cuisine but many mixture, this is the wonderful of being Malaysia people.

- Banana Leave Rice with Curry chicken, sometime i love spicy food because i simply curiousity for the food that i belum try before lo.
