Miss the Curry Mee and most of the hawker food in Penang. I am a Singaporean living in UK and use to travelled up to Penang for a social game of football with my kaki of food lovers and drinkers and use to play with the veteran team of Penang Sport Club. After the game we as usual goes to Gurney Drive to have the best hawker food and love the roti chinai, juihe eng chye, satay and the best Penang Laksa with the shrimp paste hei ko…VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY shiok. Waiting to go there next year for a holiday to see some of my old friends and also some uncle and Ah Soh living at Beach Rd. Also miss the tau sa piah…with the red bean paste… aya make my mouth water lah.. cann’t wait to have my holidays. The hawker food up there is far far better than our Singapore hawker food.

what’s the black sauce in the spoon? ‘Petis’ is it? What if I don’t waant it? How do I discard when there’s no plate under the bowl?

I am so thrilled I found your blog! Your photos are AMAZING! I also prefer the assam version to coconut - too rich.

My family are coming to Penang in a couple of weeks for a reunion. My mother was born in Singapore. Can't wait to try all the food.

Do you have suggestions for Nonya food? It was our favorite when we were in Singapore. I teach wok cooking in Florida, USA but want to do some Malaysian foods cause people are constantly asking me.

I would love your help with visiting good food markets for spices etc.

That photo made me so unbelievably hungry. Is it okay to use tamarind paste if you don’t have fresh tamarind?

no doubts on Kek Seng laksa if you are going for the sour and spicy type.

Huat Koay like it the most…

The first time I ate penang laksa (in penang), I couldnt take the spicyness and strong flavours. I was 10 then. Then I returned 13 years later..and I can’t get enough of the taste. Amazingly good stuff.
