On our 4th day in Penang, we decided to eat nasi kandar again for dinner. Simply hooked onto nasi kandar. Not sure why though, haha. Since there is no better place to eat nasi kandar than Penang, of course we have to eat to our heart’s content! This time round, we headed to one of […]
After our little kueh kueh tea break at Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay, we visited a Penangite Chinese friend to check out her very pretty ‘Secret Garden’. Checking out a local resident’s secret garden She didn’t just have green fingers but I thought she was really creative to use/recycle everyday items such as flip-flops, boots, […]
Now I know why my friend, B always eats Magnum ice cream whenever he’s in Malaysia. It only cost about S$1.50 per stick! So cheap compared to Singapore! We grabbed one stick each when we popped into 7-Eleven for air con. The earlier breakfast at Transfer Road Roti Canai did not turn out as good […]
Off to Siglap to check out The Winery Gourmet Bar as they have recently launched a new free flow brunch. That’s right, brunch buffet! Woohoo! Ever since I had the brunch buffet at the old Don Quijote when they were still at Dempsey Road, I’ve been hoping to see more of such brunch buffets in […]
Kicked off our Day 4 in Penang with a hearty breakfast at the famous Transfer Road Roti Canai, which has been in business for many decades. Locals and tourists alike would flock to this breakfast spot super early in the morning just to dig into its roti canai banjir, i.e. flooded roti prata. Transfer Road […]
We came by New Lane Hawker Centre at Lorong Baru around 9pm for supper. It was super busy and crowded during this time. Had to search and wait for quite some time before we could get an available table. New Lane Hawker Centre – Operating Hours New Lane Hawker Centre operates from 4pm to 10pm […]
After having nasi kandar at Hameediyah Restaurant, we went jalan jalan in the vicinity. Walked to Lebuh Carnarvon where we spotted street hawkers setting up pushcarts, tables and chairs on both sides of the road. This was Chulia Street Night Market, another popular food street in George Town. These street hawkers used to do business […]
After our little adventure at Wonderfood Museum, we headed towards Campbell Street to try out Malaysia’s oldest nasi kandar place, Hameediyah Restaurant. Nasi kandar, which originated from Penang, is basically the Tamil-Muslim version of ‘mixed rice’ or ‘curry rice’. That is, white rice served with various curries and side dishes. In one of my previous […]
Wasn’t planning to buy bread after a super satisfying dinner at Paper Rice Vietnamese Kitchen, which left me feeling really stuffed. But I just couldn’t resist when I saw some people piling up these mochi buns on their trays when I walked past MuYoo Bakery, lol. Mu 沐 = Cleanse (natural) Yoo 优 = Excellence […]
Xin chào! Tôi quay lại để ăn thức ăn Việt Nam một lần nữa! (Hello! I’m back to eat Vietnamese food again! Thanks Google Translate by the way.?) Super excited as Vietnamese food has always been one of my favourite things to eat ever since I travelled to Hanoi some years back just to explore […]
One of the top things to do when in Penang is to hunt for street art. And Armenian Street is a good spot to begin your hunt as many murals are located along and around this street such as the famous “Kids on bicycle” mural by Ernest Zacharevic. While we were walking along Armenian Street, […]
Back at Changi City Point as Hubby wanted to look for new exercise shorts. After a long furious search through almost every sports shop in the mall, Mr Fussy Pants still came out empty-handed, lol. Hence we decided to adjourn for a coffee break before Round 2.? Normally, we would end up at the usual […]
The clan jetties and their floating villages are some of the most popular places of interest in Penang. These villages that were built on stilts over water were established in the 19th century when Chinese immigrants came to Malaysia. Currently, there are six such jetties left in Penang. Five of them are differentiated by surnames […]
During my previous trip to Penang, I got the chance to explore Little India. A colourful and vibrant enclave of Indian culture located around Queen Street, Chulia Street and Market Street in George Town. In this neighbourhood, one can find shops that sell spices, garments, ethnic clothing, trinkets & garlands, goldsmiths & jewellers, Indian restaurants […]
After having what I felt was the best char koay teow at Ah Leng Char Koay Teow, Mervin brought us to Continental Bakery because he knows I love to check out the local bakeries whenever I travel, lol. Continental Bakery is a household name in Penang. It’s known for its wide selection of traditional breads […]
When I told Mervin that I wanted to go Siam Road for Charcoal Char Koay Teow, he asked me if I was prepared to wait for 1.5 – 2 hours. Well, not really as we had a jam-packed itinerary ahead of us. Even if I had the luxury of time, I probably still wouldn’t wait […]
