Penang trip chapter 2
When you in Penang You cant avoid talking about food. I only have one day…eh half day to try all the food that should try..
manage to try ja kue tiao, lobak, hokkein mee, ice kacang, ice coffee (special one), lo mee…
Becasue we only have 2 hour lunch break from USM meeting, so what best we could do is, we "bungkus" all food that we want to - pre try … I called it pre try because we will have a food hunting after finish the meeting. We buy in the nearer hawker place and bring back to our hotel suite We have dining table and pantry in the suite.
Lobak is a assorted fry things; sausage, beancurd, fish cake, century egg with sweet ans sour sauce. I think I ate the similar dish in Manado, also called lobak, but I cant remember the menado version has may assorted or not.
Penang hokkien mee is world of diffrent comparing with KL hokkien mee. In penang it is more like prawn mee, in KL hokkien mee is a black fried mee. Penang hokkien mee, the soup mades from shirmp paste. And they put tauge and big shrimp together with the mee.
Oh… almost forget, beside jar kuew tiau… when you go to Penang you should try penang asam laksa. it is a noodle ( again) with sourish soup. There is sardin, mints, a lot of onion in the soup.
