Penang trip! - day 3

Hey peeps, Sorry for the absence and the delay of my Penang trip post. Have been so busy with work! Am currently working part time for my dad in Tupperware and also working for Cats Whiskers boutique! It's pretty fun to work and earn money at the same time during the holidays to keep my days occupied...if not I'll seriously die of boredom at home.

Day 3

We had breakfast at Pulau Tikus as usual, this time in a different coffee shop literally right opposite Hui Wen's house. We had pan cake and Chee Cheong fun with loads of Ha Gou (Mega hated it, you should see her expression when she took a bite of it, haha). We were so stuffed that we went back to Hui Wen's house to rest before venturing into the town for lunch. For lunch we decided to eat Nasi Kandar, at this very popular Nasi Kandar stall called Merlin, at Penang street and Union Street Juction.

Yes, feast your eyes on this nasi kandar...muahaha. Honestly, when it first came, it looked like any ordinary Pelita Nasi Kandar you can get right here in KL. But the kuah that came with it, oh my goodness, was heavenly. Too bad i didnt take a picture of the, as it was too delicious that i instantly chucked the camera into my bag and gobbled up the Nasi Kandar + kuah. The Kuah had a velvety texture to it and the amount of santan added to it was just absolutely purrrrfect. Okay, moving on...LOR BAK!






This Lor Bak rocks my socks! Located at Kheng Pin Shop, you can get deliciously fried sotong, fried pork and a generous amount of century egg together with ginger. The sauce? It is made of egg white and hence having a sticky texture to it. What happens to a bunch of glutton girls if they come across this awesome combination of food? They finish the whole plate in under 5 minutes. That's exactly how yummy it was, despite having a stomach still filled with partially digested Nasi Kandar. *sniggers*

It was a hot day and we were in need of something icy and cold. We resorted to Penang Road's famous Teo Chew Chendol. Despite the crowd, the service was quick.



For dinner, we went to Francis Western food corner at Pulau Tikus. It is situated in a small coffee shop, and the chef, Francis is a former chef of Rasa Sayang Hotel, Batu Feringgi. The food was surprisingly delicious and was reasonbly priced.

Next, we headed for DESSERT! We had GELATO ice-cream at Maxim bakery, Pulau Tikus. To my surprise, it was only RM3.00 per scoop! Gelato in KL is RM 6.80 a scoop...ergh.


Salivating already? there's more! Stay tuned.
