hawker food

haha, penang hawker food list and pictures. i will let the pictures do the talking this time =)

words in brackets are the location of picture taken.

the ones in bold will be my super favourite

air itam asam laksa. darm famous in penang. lots of vegetables in it. kind of spicy. not recomended for people who will travel the next day. (next to air itam market)

chee cheong fun. with seseme seeds, sesame oil and prawn paste. this is one of the best in penang. this is different from the hong kong chee cheong fun as this is kind of dry (genting)

hokien mee. penang very own version of mee udang

apom. indian pancake. super nice when hot. usually cook in small woks. it kind of looks like a UFO. thin at the side, thick in the middle. (bayan baru hawker center)

wan tan mee. cook with char siew, vege, fried wan tan, and tok tok mee. sometimes serve with soup and boil wan tan (almost in every hawker center)

10 fruits ABC and rojak. the ABC really has 10 kinds of fruits there. with a scoop of vanila ice cream on top. not too sweet just nice. this 2 plates was my lunch that day. frutty lunch (some where near 'new world')

lobak. its not carrot. its.. 'bak' in hokien is meat. not too sure what 'lo' means. but, a plate of fried meat, prawn crackers, egg and some cucumber. eaten with some special sauce

kuey kak. fried flour with egg, bean sprout, clam, lard and black sauce. place on a banana leave for better aroma.

mua chee. steam rice flour coated with powdered peanuts and sugar. 1 of my favourite food in penang. only available in penang i think. ate 3 times in a week. they are sold by stalls on motorcycle. so you have to go hunt them down. =) (genting, air itam, sungai ara)

cendol. green jelly worms, red bean, ice, coconut milk and gula melaka!!! super nice whether the day is hot or not. this is from penang famous penang road cendol stall. everyone will stand and finish their bowl. it is once said that they put some kind of worms in the cendol to help preserve them. (penang road)



popiah. vegetable, egg and some other stuff wrap in popiah skin. good as a snack or side dish after some light meals (penang road)

kueh tiau thing. kueh tiau soup. very light and good for an upset stomach. not spicy. serve usually with fish balls, meat, kueh tiau and some vege. (almost all hawker centers)

nyonya kuih. kuih lapis and kaya kuih. i use to peal them 1 layer at the time when i was small. the kaya one is made of pulut rice and then smear with kaya and eaten. bro's favourite =)

mee rebus and me goreng. this is one of penang famous mee goreng. its a must for all penang visits. friend with squid, egg, vege, crackers and their very special sauce.

(bangkok lane, Pulau Tikus)

penang road asam laksa. this is also penang famous laksa. situated in penang road, its a must to stop by as well. a little spicy. difference is there are more fish in this and this is more sour compare to the air itam one. also not recomemded for those that plan to travel the next day (penang road)

missing in pictures. Char kueh tiau, jawa mee

btw.. this are only some of the hawker food i ate. the rest ended up in my tummy before i remembered to picture them. n this is my 2nd attempt to post a food blog, so comments are welcome =)
