Revisited Penang recently. Chinese New Year is the best time to visit Penang 'cos they have special CNY dishes like
- yue sung (raw fish salad) - scrumptious - lots of crunchy bits, jellyfish, salmon, carrots, and other vege, lovely sauce, lemon - love tossing the salad - the higher you toss, the more luck!!
- hainanese chicken - good with soya sauce and cucumber bits. The chili sauce rounds it all up!
- taro nest with vege and chicken - jolly good! Reminds me of the Hillman Restauran in Singapore. Missing cashews in the dish.
- vege curry claypot - very good - lots of beans, okra - curry nicely spiced
- steamed prawns on a bed of steamed egg - sooooooo good!!
We also went for the hawker food on a different day - had the Penang Prawn Noodle - sooooo good!! Just a little spice in the soup. There's also kangkong and baby shrimps.
NB: Penang only accepts CASH. No credit cards.
