hi your information on local eateries are very helpful. We are going to Penang during Chinese New Year holiday. Will those hawker places stay open during the holiday? Thanks a lot.

Hi Rasa Malaysia,

Could you add in one more stall as a recommendation for the best “mee suah kor” stall located in a cornershop in between the junction of Jalan Burmah and Lorong Pulau Tikus. My girlfriend love this ” mee suah kor” so much but because its not so high profile and not known to many ppl, so my gf is afraid one day the stall will close down.

If you want to know the exact position you can try google map type in ” mee suah kor jalan burmah”
AS for the shop’s name,i can only let you know when im going to penang tomorrow.

thanks.

Lately Star just intro Genting Coffee Shop Hokkien Mee and Chee Chong Fun, i tried that, pretty delicious. The chee chong fun, the paste is so special where can’t find this feel else where. While for hokkien mee, the soup is pretty thick. you can feel the freshness of the prawn soup…. very delicious.

Daniel – if you want, you can buy this Penang hawker food cookbook published by The Star. All the recipes are provided by the famous hawkers in Penang. I am based in US and can’t get many ingredients to make hawker food. If you haven’t been back to Penang for 30 years, you should definitely go back. It’s just 1 hour flight away from Singapore. Nothing beats being back to your own home and root and eating at the places you grew up. My recipes will never do enough justice to good foods available in Penang. Time to go back Daniel. What are you waiting for?

Hey RM, you got those lovely food pictures on top page & I drooled when I saw apong balik. Can you come up with recipes for apong balik, cheh hu, char koay tiow, indian pasembor, indian mee goreng, penang steamed otak, ice kacang & mee sua ark t’gui (duck drumstick) tng? Is the famous Chowrasta ice kacang the same as the Kek Seng Coffee Shop? Sorry ha, never been back for the last 30 years, sudah tua dan sudah lupa. RM, you’ve again done it well to make it easy for us to click & proudly show our non-Penang frens.

Hi Rasa malaysia,

we will be in Batu Ferrenghi for a week. could you PLEASE reccomend some good places to eat. I’ve been there before and most of the restaurants cater for western tastes and are not too authentic.
i also hear alot of restaurants are closing down in batu ferrenghi is this true?
