My Trip to Penang

Overall the trip was okm this trip is more for my parents and I think the enjoyed it, well consider mission accomplished. Had a good time of fellowship with my parents and sister. On the makan part, not so much cos parents don't really enjoyed Penang hawker food. Being old people, they still prefer those sit down proper meals.

Anyway I still get to try Penang Char Kuey Teow, Penang Asam Laksa, Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle), Penang Curry Mee, Jalan Kayu Nasi Kandar (the original one).

We had the Famous Air Itam Asam Laksa, but to me the taste ok nia not super fantastic, probably because I busy feeding my son so didn't really get to slowly taste and enjoyed the food.




I like Penang's morning market food. We ate at a coffee shop with morning market outside. It's fun where you can order those local snack and eat at your breakfast table.






The best food throughout this trip is the one we had at Bukit Tambun. Was recommended by my Penang friend. We thought it's very near Butterworth but it's actually around 30km away...But worth going to that place. It's really at the end of the road, near a jetty/fishing village. The seafood is fresh, cheap and good....We reached there at 5+ to 6pm but the restaurant is already packed with customers. Another things good about them is that they serve their food very fast!!!! We had baby octupus as appetizer, black pepper crab, steam fish, salted baked mantis, 2 types of fried vegetables, for 5 pax, we only paid RM98 (including drinks)...WOW>>>CHEAP!!!!







Outside of the restaurant, there is the stall that sell very nice an unique satay. This satay does not serve with the gravy cos they dip and marinade the meat in the gravy before BBQ it...it's the best satay I ever tasted.


Didn't manage to take many picture of the food cos with my son around, my hands won't be so free to take pictures liao...
When we went back to USJ, we went to mamak stall "Tanjung" for supper. I like their roti tissue and maggi mee goreng. Without failed I'll order this 2 things whenever I go back to USJ for supper...
Breakfast was good. We went for dimsum at Hoong Foong Dim Sum at USJ...would say cheap and good. For 8 pax, we only pay RM60+ for good dim sum. You definetely can't get cheap and good dim sum in Singapore.
