Penang Redux 19

We head over to a big hawker centre in Penang, called New World Park for lunch.

It's situated behind Tune Hotels and only open for lunch till about tea time. We made sure we ordered delicacies that they were famous for.

Ais Kacang. 

My dessert of fruit Ais Kacang. Seriously good. The sweetness and the different flavours of the fruit mixed excellently with the red beans, corn and other stuff they dumped in.

Lam Mee. It was a little bland to me, and needed chilly to spice it up a little. Excuse the pun.

Yong Tau Fu noodles. To me, this is simple fare that is available in KL.

Here comes the big guns. It was deliciously filled with the now familiar spices of curry noodles found in Penang.

The Char Kuay Teow is also another famous dish to try here. I had to agree. It was well fried, not too oily and divinely tasty.

Fruit rojak from the same place we got our Ais Kacang. Regular tasting.

Bak Chang. While it's not bad, I still prefer the one I bought from the van near Isaribi Tei.

Yam cake. Okay, this one is fabulous. Best I have had in Penang. Thick with huge pieces of yam and filled with that yammy taste. Must try.

Banana pancakes. By far the best thing I have had in New World Park. It's crispy, hot and sweet at the same time. We ordered a little too much of this but worth every bite!

A very short one today but totally profound. Most people venture to Penang for the Char Kuay Teow but I can honestly tell you, I like it but I can go without it.

What I cannot go without in Penang, is their awesome Asam Laksa. The Colleague told me of a place opposite the Penang Chinese Girls' School that was totally famous.

It's on the road further up from Gurney Drive. Keep going straight and you will see this little coffee shop righ at the corner.

Right in front is the famous laksa shop. It opens around lunch and sells out by roughly around tea time. See the bags of packed noodles on the top.

Ho Ho Steamboat @ Sri Petaling

We take a break from at least 2 more Penang reduxes for me to post a short one on Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant. This is my favourite steamboat place, where the soup and the chilly score all the points needed for a truly wonderful meal.

.... And I was playing with Lemecam on my Iphone.

Pretty popular place that went from one corner shop, to them taking over the second floor and finally the two shops next to them. The place is huge and most if the time, packed.

Our humble pot of soup. They have only one kind there, chicken broth.

Recent addition to the family. Barbequed chicken wings. Pretty tasty.

Our set. You can either order in set or by plate. What we do is to order per person and have additional stuff that we like later.

The extras that are our favourite. From the top left to right, Sui Kow, pork balls, needle mushrooms and seafood taufu. YUM!!

Our carbs for the day, which this time around, we couldn't finish.

Our pot of food cooking away.

Their fishballs are fresh and they say from Pulau Ketam. If you are in Sri Petaling, look for Jalan Radin Anum. You won't go wrong for a satisfying meal.

Another round of good lunch food. This time not too far away from Sin Chuan Bee.

Heng Kee was supposedly once very popular but right now, it's pretty quiet, which is a damn waste if you ask me. Everything there was super delicious.

The Hakka dish of pork and preserved veggies. It would have tasted absolutely delicious with porridge. As it was, with white rice, the tasty saltiness was fabulous.

Stewed chicken. It literally fell apart with deliciousness. Yum.

This was an odd way of cooking kangkung but top points though. Basically the veggies are boiled and a mixture of belacan, chilly and salted fish is fried and pour over it. The smell was sensational.

Three taste fish. Properly fried and topped with a sweet and hot sauce.

Tofu with fish fillet. Interesting combination. Smooth and silky.
