Penang FOOD trip

It was a hot and sunny Wednesday....
3.20pm: got on the train at Serdang....happy that the train reached 2 minutes earlier....

3.48pm: train reached KL Central......no problem to make it to my bus at 4pm....

3.50pm: train still stayed in KL Central....some people were happy that they didn't miss the train....

3.51pm: stupid train still stopped at the same place......but it's ok...... KL station very near only.....

3.52pm: WTH......train would only start moving when some signal was given...

3.53pm: called the bus company thousands times...nobody picked up..... hoping for miracle...

3.54pm: thank god that the train finally start moving....

3.55pm: idiot train stopped again after leaving KL central station....

4.00pm: the train finally reached KL station.....but it's also the time for my bus to leave....

ME.....dash out of the train to the bus stop once the door opened....
with a red sling bag on shoulder and big fat luggage in hand....
started racing with the time......100m seems like the longest distance to me....
I wish I could just run across the railway instead of using the overhead bridge.....

at the end......I was able to make it.....phew.... lucky day (^_^)v

4:10pm....bus started moving.....there's my journey to Penang began....

8:30pm....reached Penang safely.... qw came and pick me up from bus terminal...

it's basically a food trip....didn't go for sightseeing....mostly eat eat eat.....hehe....

we went straight for dinner at Kimberly street....
my first meal of the trip....

kuey teow in drain-water-looking soup + almond soup + 四果汤

let's me tell you what's inside this super NICE but bad looking kuey teow soup
pig intestine, pig blood jelly, pork, slices of duck meat, duck blood jelly and curled thick kuey teow
this bowl is full of flavor......yum yum....
it's usually sold out by 9pm....
ME so lucky that day.....hehe....

this is "cockroach" soup..... for people who don't like it....
this soup has same fate as durian.....people either accept or think it's disgusting.....
ME....could accept it...
the first taste of soup was alright....
then slowly the bitter taste buds on my tongue became active....
the bitterness stayed in my mouth for a min.....
to reduce the bitterness-->eat with 油条

but the best way is to order another bowl of sweet soup....

四果汤 contains 4 types of nut/seed/bean....
sweet solution for the bitter almond soup

Late breakfast in the next day.....
simple toasted wholemeal berad + Philadalphia cheese + blue cheese + chef Q special vinaigrette...

Dinner: home-cooked food prepared by qw and his family

didn't take the pic of the Japanese dinner.....paiseh.....hehe...
we had tempura...soba...baked mussel....teppanyaki beef.....

Friday was public holiday.....I followed qw and his family to Butterworth.....
for lunch...we had hor fun at an old chinese shop.......
the name is.......erm..........can't remember....
it's Ipoh style...hor fun with white chicken.....
the prawn wantan was nice there too.... =D

not long after lunch....qw brought me to a famous roadside Penang laksa....
no address....no name....it's opposite Tan jetty....

Penang people are really true food lovers...
can bear with anything as long as the food is delicious....

this is the laksa ......
yum yum.....but i think there's too much chili padi....
a bit spicy to my taste....

爱玉冰

best thing to have in a hot afternoon....
jelly is soft and springy....
it's refreshing and not too sweet with the lemon in it...=)

went for a walk at the opposite Tan jetty.....
quite a peaceful place........



Dinner.....qw's family planned to eat the fried kuey teow at somewhere I dunno....
by the time we reached.....the uncle was packing his stuff already.....too bad....
so we went to Jelutong....a place like Petaling street in KL....
had tong sui...fried kuey teow...popiah...apong...
the apong was so soft and light............it's the best apong I ever had.....=D

bungkus qw back to KL on Saturday morning....lolz....
for a close course mate of mine and best friend of his.....=D

didn't do much activity other than eating during this trip......
didn't take much picture too...... anyway.....the best memory is stored in my brain....=D
I am so grateful to QuWern and his family....for the great warm hospitality...
it's a great trip despite the rushy starting.....=)

~best memories~
