Penang Hawker Food

August 7th, 2005 - Sunday

Penang is famous for its hawker food. The dishes do not taste the same everywhere and the ingredients used may differ too. Therefore it takes a little hunting to get ones that are nice and relatively inexpensive. I usually do not patronise the more popular spots like Swatow Lane, Lorong Selamat or Gurney Drive because they are over-rated and more expensive than other places in the island.

The food court at the Batu Lanchang incidentally is wheelchair friendly and parking spaces are in abundance. Whenever I am around the vicinity and looking for food, I would invariably stop there. Among my favourites there are the koay kak, popiah, che huh and ais kacang.

With this brief introduction of some of my favourite Penang hawker food, I am passing the baton to Minishorts. Thank you all for spending time here accompanying us throughout the Blogathon. For those who have not pledged, please do so now. This is all for a good cause. May God bless you all for your kindness.

    I love the che hu at Batu Lanchang too! But for some reason, when I went back this trip, I thought that the one at Padang taste a lot better.

    kush4m3,
    I have not been to the padang for a long time. The one I like best is the man driving a van selling from place to place. As I remember, his sauce was thick and tasty. I wonder if he is still selling.

    KY,
    Yum!

    adriene,
    Come come we go eat.
