Yummy Dim Sum

Restoran Zim Sum is a very big non-aircon dim sum restaurant. It was already filled up with customers when we reached there at 9plus in the morning. We had to wait for seats. (@Penang-Malaysia)

Dim Sum is a undoubtedly popular for breakfast in Malaysia. The dishes are usually wheeled around on a trolley by servers. At this dim sum restaurant, we can pick and choose our favourite dim sum dishes at the counter.

I want this… I want that!

Dim sum dishes stack on top of one another. You pick and choose the dishes and return to your seat. Read More »

Wet Wet Wet Market

It is not your regular air-con supermarket with broad range of items displayed neatly on the shelves. You can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and live seafood from different vendors in this wet market which I think is called Ban-San market in Penang (Malaysia).

Randomly Penang

A not-so-nice panoramic shot of Penang island from Queensbay mall carpark. A dark and gloomy day, but like the misty mountain view.

Some random food pics to satisfy your sensual side. Penang Hokkien Mee is something I’d not miss. It’s actually a prawn noodle soup dish serves with egg, prawn and pork slices. One bowl of Hokkien Mee costs around RM2.50 – RM3.

The plate of Nasi Lemak costs RM7.50 (I think) as I had it at a cafe. See, you pay more for the ambience. Nasi Lemak is commonly prepared with the rice mainly soaked in coconut cream and steamed. Traditionally, it is served with slices of cucumber, deep fried crisy anchovies, roasted peanuts, egg and most importantly, hot spicy sauce (sambal).

You can get really nice and authentic Nasi Lemak nicely wrapped in banana leaf at the market for only RM1 without fried chicken.

Cute, even the icon of the luxurious G-hotel wears a humongous songkok (a traditional hat for muslim men Read More »

Penang food court at Bukit Jambul

This is my 200th post since I started blogging Travelerfolio in April 08! Most of my older posts contain scenic photos and I didn’t expect that my 200th post is all about FOOD!! XD

Penang has many good hawker food too, just like Ipoh food paradise. It’s really a torture for me to blog about food but can’t eat them now!!

On our first night in Penang, we went to a food centre in Bayan Lepas area, near Bukit Jambul complex. Now, get ready to drool!

I think the stall selling this bowl of Tom Yam is very popular. Many people ordered from it. By the time my Tom Yam arrived, everyone had finished their food! But frankly speaking, I found it nothing special; I thought I was eating Tom Yam instant noodles.
