makan makan in Penang

What's the first thing that pops in your mind when it comes to Penang Island? "MAKAN" of course. Penang being the city of delicious food is a must to visit. The PYO KL team had the opportunity to head up to Penang to meet up with our Penang colleagues. The main reason was to attend the Penang Matta Fair which was held at P.I S.A, the other reason was to indulge in the wonderful, yummilicious food. We left in 2 groups, one got onto the coach at Puduraya, the other group drove.

For the 4 of us that took the coach, the journey was a 5 hour journey to Sungai Nibong's bus terminal. The upside of the journey was that when we arrived, we were treated to one of Penang's famous 'Char Kueh Teow'.

You might have heard about the famous lady on lorong selamat, well being the adventurous group of people, we skip the normality in search for something different. we headed a few shops down to find this little 'kopitiam' ... it's not hard to miss, look for the char kueh teow uncle that wears this really outrages goggles.... (you might not know, the uncle might be some spokesperson for a goggles brand).


The fried kueh teow here was amazingly delicious, once we tasted it, it was the benchmark for all char kueh teows. It is said that this place serves one of the best Fried kueh teow on the island. The prawns that were stir fried together was succulent and absolutely juicy. Definitely mind boggling.



This little "kopitiam" does not only serves char kueh teow, on their menu list, there was fruit rojak, sotong kangkung and a few others. We only opt to have the fried kueh teow and the ever cooling, ice kacang.
