Wan Tan Mee

Since am nearby the busy area of Beach Street, might as well grab a quick lunch over here before resuming my love for photography for the many juxtaposed colonial architectures along the historical street. It came in a decent portion with ‘char siew’ and ‘wan ton’ along vegetables alike. The dumplings were quite toothsome and nicely wrapped with a silky ‘wan ton’ skin. The meat filling was savory with a tinge of peppery taste. As for the Char Siew, they were well-marinated and in this case, they are in dark purplish presentation instead of the usual red. Perhaps due to the different varieties of spices used. Nevertheless, they made a good simple meal

Yummy Siew Pau

Am not a really huge fan of ‘Siew Pau’, but after getting the taste of it from Ban Heang, it somehow changed my mind and I think they are pretty awesome! Hehe.The pau pastries is very fluffy and soft as it’s freshly baked from the oven daily. There is also a tinge of sesame fragrance on the tip of the pastry too. As for the meaty filling, they are equally fantastic for I would say the minced meat is very solid and very well-marinated. Most importantly, they are not much fatty portions to be noticed and that actually spruce me up with a better appetite

Yaki Udon

It’s not common for me to try cuisine from the place of The Rising Sun in Penang, which is famous for hawker food. But I guess no harm to tickle the taste bud once awhile with other flavors available. I am pretty amused to have found Yaki Udon (instead of the usual Yaki Soba) in a humble food court at Sri Weld, near Beach Street. Thus, without hesitating, I gave it a go amusingly Albeit the simple presentation with the garnishment of julienned cabbages, the noodles itself was dished up pretty decently. There is a distinctive taste of mild piquancy in the eggy gravy used to cooked the noodles. It isn’t spicy but a subtle taste of Jawa Noodle’s sauce kind of thing, hehe. Not bad, and I think it’s quite nice to have this once awhile other than the ubiquitous Char Koay Teow, hehe.

Egg Tart

When having breakfast at Medan Angsana the next day after I reached Penang, I came across this new bakery shop that goes by the name of “Bread Top’. At some point, it does reminds me of the many mushrooming bakeries in town that also start with “Bread”. Am pretty sure you guys could name a few in a jiffy Well, the egg tart here is pretty normal, with the pastry used is more floury and solid as compared to those Portuguese flaky type. The egg tart filling is quite silky and smooth, not too sweet, but it would be good if there is more eggy taste.

Wo hoo! It was definitely one of my best food enjoyment moment with this unique coconut! At first I thought it was just another ordinary coconut drink, which later turned out to be mind-boggling to me! And the best part is, I had it in KL, haha.
Thanks to a friend who just got back from Penang and kept this treasures in the ice cooler container. So I had it instantly in the car while joining the traffic folks at the Golden Triangle.What amused me the most was the hidden silky jewel inside the shell, Coconut Jelly! It was so cooling and addictive you know. I just can’t get enough with one, haha. The flesh of the coconut bears the rich coconut taste whilst the jelly is so smooth and densed with sweetness scent of coconut. I really enjoy it very much!
