Oh mi Lord…..how sweet was it growing up in Bukit Mertajam of the state of Penang? As sweet as all the Nonya kuihs. I live in California now but I’m really really grateful for growing up in the part of the planet that has the best food in the world. American food is crap!!! cereal and shit pancakes is all you get for breakfast out here mostly. heck people eat steaks and eggs for breakfast here.

Nothing like Malaysia. Food food excellent beautiful food everywhere and these are foods that are fit for kings and gods. it is really a privilege and a blessing to have experienced such foods and you somewhat feel sorry for all those people who have never tasted it.

Hi,
I am former Malaysian (from JB) now living in Australia – am travelling for the first time to Penang to torture my body through over indulging.

Am interested in recommendations on where to go in Penang whilst my family and I are there in early January. We are interested in all the old time classics – kuey teow, laksa, prathas, nyonya cakes etc etc. Too many to mention, I know…

Also where to buy food stuffs we can take back with us to Australia – eg curry powder, dried food etc without having to throw the whole lot into a quarantine bin when we get home.

Your ideas please….

Thanks, Richard

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.

Boolicious and Rokh,

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