Penang Ho Chiak!!!!

We were at this last pit stop before leaving the island
Joo Hooi Cafe along Lebuh Keng Kwee, just off Penang Road.
*by the way it was a work trip, not leisure*

the famous asam laksa were fully loaded with fish in its sour spicy savoury soup

Monkey slurp-ed the whole bowl of wholesome goodness :D

lor bak here boleh tahan lar
am not a fan coz it's almost the same everywhere
just different varieties of condiments and selections

their char kuey teow was much better than "Sister's"
we had Sister's for breakfast and it was horrible
dun even deserved to be posted here

another specialty of this cafe is the Teochew cendol

just come here for the asam laksa la....
anyhow the best still has got to be at Air Itam market but then....
it's perpetually crowded and full of tourists
parking is also another problem

am craving for asam laksa now~~~~~
stomach kluuuu kluuuuuuu
heeeeeeeeee

Breakfast @ Penang

Wat were they starring at???
the fan is not moving~~~~

told ya penang-nites are kiam siap *stingy*
kekekekekek no offense though but I think only the older generation are :P

We were at Kafe Ping Hooi for the famous Char Kuey Teow
the one with DUCK eggs and lard :P

mee suah with bouncy fish balls and meaty meat balls
the meat balls were packed with MEAT

truly authentic loh bak
with the crispy pork in fermented beancurd, century eggs with pickled ginger
and the usual meatroll in beancurd skin
fried to golden brown :D

this place is at Carnarvon Street
and yes later on we did ask the Uncle to switch the fans on

this is Mr. Yeow
and u will alwiz see him in this blue shirt
his uniform :P

he operates daily from 8am onwards

huge crunchy prawns
sometimes if u r lucky, when Mr. Yeow has bamboo clams
aaAAAaaaaa
that would be the best

anyhow I'm super happy with the DUCK eggs already!!!!!

Eppy Fat Monkey Face!!!
I touched down Penang 15 minutes earlier
and was whisked off to this place :D

Mr. Yeow keeps his wok heated up all the time

Kafe Ping Hooi

Dinner at Tg. Tokong, Penang

we waited for the men to finish golf
while the ladies *ahem* went shopping at Gurney Plaza + mall

when we reached Tg Tokong, the Moon was already up on the sky
it was a lovely dining scene
I gave up taking picture after the 1st dish - crispy deep fried squid
coz everything else requires hand to chomp chomp
with oil hands + fingers, I don't want to dirty the Leica

Chomp chomp chomp

pic of Chris da Boss taken by JS
the mess was beyond description

Ghee Hiang Tau Sar Pneah

we drove around Macalister Road looking for this building,
must be the too spanking new that we didn't see it,
we were expecting some old shop/factory
whiffing out tau sar pneah smell with uncle/auntie vendors.
Ghee Hiang has been producing tau sar pneah, pastries, sesame oil
for 150 years in Penang.

so don't blame us if we were expecting something as old as that.
see what marketing can do to a brand.
hehehehehehehe
they practiced an over-the-counter service,
tell/point to them what u want over the menu,
and ta-da!!!! u just need to pay money.
all packed neatly, nicely for ya.

this place looked so peranakan.

a very old stool
and more peranakan furniture

this one erm..........
made in Britain?
well I'm not gonna post pic of tau sar pneah here
coz I won't be able to resist seeing em,
and there's no tau sar pneah in within reach right now.
Damn. I'm. Hungry.
