The drive only took less than two hours from Ipoh to Penang, so it is not surprising that we took a day off to visit this island for food!
Yes, it was food all the way, from breakfast till late afternoon, we took three meals and for dinner, we could only packet the food home... we just couldn't stomach any more, not like our younger days anymore... LOL....
After our breakfast which consisted of Koay Teow Thng at 113, Lebuh Melayu, we took a walk along the esplanade. To our delight, the cruise ship was docked along the esplanade... I miss the cruise I had with the Royal Caribbean in 2019, I would love to go on a cruise again... and of course, with the right group of people. That would be so much fun....
When will I see you again....
Love this picture cos of the birdie flying across at the right moment...
In front of the Penang Town Hall....
After our walk, lunch was at Baba Phang....
Curry stingray....
I like this dish...
Kerabu styled with kacang botol....
Sweet, sourish and spicy....
Lobak....
Inchikabin... Fried Chicken....
Ju Hu Char... Fried Jicama...
Nasi Ulam....
Rice with mixed raw vegetables and spices...
Otak Otak...
Lunch for the four of us...
Total came to around RM150...
This is the third time eating at Baba Phang...
I guess it is time to try other Nyonya restaurants the next time round...
nyonya food looks appetising! miss them so much!
ReplyDeleteWah...the nonya dishes all look so good! Is your right foot injured? Looks like it is bandaged in the top photo.
ReplyDeleteYa, what was wrong with your ankle? Hope it's ok now.
DeletePenang to me means mouth-watering food.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure, Claire!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Koay Teow Thng at a dark and murky coffee shop near Cititel at Penang Road. 2009, they charged 40 sen per head if you did not order any drinks. Tried one expensive nyonya place in Penang , so disappointing. Same in Melaka - the old place that I loved so much a long time ago is not nice anymore, lots of Singaporeans there. So far, I loved the one at Amcorp Mall in KL/PJ - very nice!
ReplyDeleteBtw, best avoided, all cruises. My cousin and her hubby in Australia went on one to Japan and COVID broke out on board and they were confined to the ship for a month.. Such a scary experience!!!
So fun and nice to able to travel inter-state. Less than 2 hours drive, I would enjoy that. Good food, good company.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to go on a day trip to Penang just for food.
