as usual Penang Road is always jammed up with limited parking
and we had to walk quite a distance...
along the way, with a camera in hand...
what better thing to do than to take pictures, right?
we kept on walking and walking....
under the hot blazing sun....
ok... going to approach the shop.... soon...
nearer and near-er......
Finally reached....
the cendol stall hidden by customers...
walked all the way for this bowl of CENDOL!!
and laksa!!
the top 7th most popular food in the whole world!
Very quickly I ordered this to quench my hunger..
But a look on my sons' faces...
not a very positive sign, right?
Either they were still very full from their buffet breakfast
OR
the food in Penang Road is not what they expected anymore...
So which is which?
i love the chendol there! :)
ReplyDeleteThe kuey Teow th'ng looked neither appealing nor authentic. My favourite kuey teow th'ng stall is Ah Hor's at Lebuh Carnavon.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!!! Ask your sons to come to Sibu and eat what we have here. Sure smiling from ear to ear....
ReplyDeleteken: not so sweet already...
ReplyDeletepam: yes, i think i know which one you meant.. it is along the five foot way?
stp: hehehee... singing.. I believe I can fly...
Bingo!

ReplyDeletepam: do you know, nearby there, there is one old couple selling egg tarts? and ma lai koe?
ReplyDeletelena: something good in laksa actually..
Usually... I prefer those hawker western food when I'm in Penang... dono why... feel more sedap than those laksa, oh chien and whatnot. Some places really overrated and not really nice. I yet to blog about my trip to Penang oso. Hmmm...

ReplyDeleteI never heard about Cendol. It certainly doesn't look like anything I have eaten before.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

O.k., what IS cendol? And what is laksa? we never hear of them here. They look like soup of some kind? What is it that you got, that looks like the best of all!! Some kind of chicken soup or stew?
ReplyDeletechris: for tourists like us la..
ReplyDeletewenn: the laksa noodles a bit too soft this time..
merryn: yes! you must go again!

You know what sis, we have a street similar to the feel and facade in Penang it is is Vigan, Philippines.
ReplyDeleteThe city government has passed a provincial resolution to restore & maintain the old facade of the houses and buildings to preserve the rich past and history of the place.
the cendol..yum yum!
ReplyDeleteBut the cendol and laksa still make me drooling over here. You are blamed for making me taking my reserved lunch early by half an hour.
ReplyDeletePulled a fast one on my Taiwanese counter part once saying cendol is green earthworm..hehe.
ReplyDeleteyogi: come lets eat!!
ReplyDeletecloudia: greetings!!
cielo: yes, same here.. preserve the heritage buildings!
stella: *drool*
yan: great!! then have early dinner too..
bananaz: yes, last time when young, i was also told that!
give me a bowl of Penang Laksa please, salivated here, YUm!
ReplyDeleteThanks heavens they didn't have the audacity to claim asam laksa as their own ;)
ReplyDelete+Ant+
wahahahahhaha. i NEVER liked asam laksa, ESPECIALLY PENANG one. wakakakakakakaka. i like sarawak laksa though.
ReplyDeletesonia: i m sure u can cook better!! :)
ReplyDeletegratitude: meaning?
