While I had planned to share every single meal of my Penang culinary adventure with you, alas, my initiative and enthusiasm has been dampened by one unsurmontible obstacle: the painfully slow dial-up connection at my parents’ home.
Thus I am sharing my adventure with you in small tastes, i. e. a few pictures at a time — sort of like stealing a bite from a friend’s plate when they turn away…
This morning I woke up craving for sugar so I headed straight to the morning market at Jelutong and got myself some beautiful, colorful, and tasty Nyonya Kuih and other small treats as breakfast. Total damage was approximately US$1.00 (US$1.00 = RM3.60).
Life is just sweet!
Note: Kuih Ko Sui, Rempah Udang, Kuih Beng Kang, Pulut Tai Tai, and Pulut Inti.

Yeah, Nyonya Kuih is one of those things that we tend to ignore in favor of western cakes and pastries. ;)

Nyonya kueh is mouth watering and satisfying, best sweets in the world. It is quite easy to make, I have been teaching and writing Penang Nyonya Cuisine for many years. Anyone lives in Australia want to know about helpful hints, can email me.
