Tau Sa Pia

Dad would always remember and never fail to grab this Penang famous delicacies whenever am coming over. Although this product is not from the commonly known existing big names, the Tau Sa Pia is actually pretty good, if not better, I feel it is much fresher as the filling is very light and powdery. None big traces of onions are detected and thus the biscuits taste pleasantly with the aroma from the beans. This shows that the biscuits are indeed freshly baked.

Chocolate Krushers

One of the famous desserts that you could enjoy on the go is the Krushers. It comes in few flavours and chocolate variety being one of them. It is accompanied by some swirl of vanilla sundae as the topping. Ice cubes are bit coarsely crushed in the medium tall plastic ware. The concentration of the chocolate flavor is mediocre, coupled with some ice cubes, does make a delightful chocolaty drink.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

To be able to spend a carefree afternoon for some catch up over the cuppa should be deemed blissful Here we are at another outlet in Penang, located at Queensbay Mall. The crowd seems doesn’t lose out to those in KL, seats are always fully taken especially on the coach side nearby the wide glass doors. Overall ambience here is cozy with some serenading music on the background. The smell of the aromatic coffee wafting in the air seems to be a good companion for a relaxing reading session too

Hokkien Mee

Comes to the most signature fare of every Penang tourist shouldn’t have missed, Hokkien Mee. I usually would ask for a mixture of noodles and also the vermicelli. This way of eating the noodle gives me a better texture. Also, I would request the soup base for my bowl of mee to be also a mixture of thick and the dilute soups, a.k.a, ‘loh’ add with prawn soup. The former having a much thicker brownish texture while the latter is totally the opposite. But it is nice and sweet as it has been boiled with the prawns shells for decent hours to get the gist out of it. So when enjoying this way, you get to savour a scrumptious bowl of prawn noodles

Lo Mai Kai

You could also go for the much normal fare when landing at the land of Island of Pearl. There are quiet numerous stall over here that you could find to start your day on a smaller scale such as having a humble plate of Lo Mai Kai, a.k.a Glutinous Chicken Rice. It is steamed in a small roundish bowl while covering with a layer of aluminum foil to retain the heat. Upon request, they would be served upside down on the plate and there you have a nice serving of it. The rice is nicely seasoned with the savory condiments, alongside the tender chicken meat. Slices of mushroom also add some juiciness to it. Best eaten while hot with some chilli paste too
