My Penang Trip and Food

I have taken many pictures during my recent Penang trip. Having a hard time to locate and remembering them. But I manage to have them download and sum up everything here in this blog.

Kedai Kopi New Cathay located in Jalan Burmah, opposite Bellisa Row is a corner lot coffee shop. It is always packed especially in the morning. These are what we ate :

Prawn Mee or Hokkien Mee not good as compared to Kedai Kopi Swee Kong located further down the same road (opposite Pulau Tikus Police Station). I hate eating Prawn Mee without Sayur Kangkung. I wonder why they don't add Sayur Kangkung as this vegetable is common and not expensive here.

This Apom was not good either compared to the one in Kedai Kopi Swee Kong. Disappointing.

Ahaa.....this is what I like Popiah (the wet type). My other family members find it a bit bland but I think it is very tasty.

This Curry Mee was delicious too. Full of curry aroma and the amount of coconut milk was just right not too thick or watery.

This Mee Rebus was so so only.

We had Penang Chee Cheong Fun too (the one with prawn paste 'ha ko' and sweet sauce) and it was very delicious. I saw many people had Fried Cantonese Fried. I think it must be tasty. The coffee and tea here are good too. This place is not bad as it has many varieties of food. Definitely will come back again next time.

Go Penang must eat Fried Koay Teow and the one we had was Sister's Char Koay Teow in Macalister Road.

We had Otak-Otak which taste average.

Does this picture make you drool..............? I think they wanted to close shop as we reached there about 4.30pm because this Fried Koay Teow was not good, lack of 'wok hei' and no Koay Teow aroma (不够香).

During our 4days 3 nights trip in Penang, we went to Kedai Kopi Swee Kong in Pulau Tikus 2 times for breakfast because my sister loves the Indian Apom there. The Apom was made using traditional Indian claypot and it costs about 50 sen each. The business is very good, usually they finish everything by 9.30am. There are two other stalls in Kedai Kopi Swee Kong which are also very good business, ie the Wantan Mee and the Hokkien Mee stall. Both are very tasty but I love Hokkien Mee more so I usually eat Hokkien Mee whenever I go there. But the coffee and milk tea here are not good. The Kedai Kopi New Cathay was better.

We bring our own container to store the Apom we bought at Kedai Kopi Swee Kong. This way the Apom won't stick and crumble together.

We went to Penang Hill but it was raining heavily and we end up having tea at the David Brown's.

My coffee RM8.00 , full of coffee aroma.

Scones with fresh cream and home made strawberry jam.........very yummy.

This trip was more like a family get together for us ( my sibblings live in three different countries) and we had a chance to meet with our relatives in Penang too. I look forward to more family trip like this.
