I enjoyed our virtual tour at the M Mall. Next, my friend took me to another place.
Just walked across to the other side.
My attention was drawn to these two huge sculpture.
This was held in the hand of one of the statues
A British superintendent directing a Javanese of the Eastern Smelting Company.
This was the former site of the tin smelting company.
From the moving car, I caught this man in action in front of a truck selling durians.
They even allocated tables and chairs for durian fans.
We stopped to buy some deep fried goodies, highly recommended by my friend.
Customers were already queuing up at the roadside stall.
Crunchy deep fried taro or yam, neen koh (sweet glutinous cake), etc. coated in batter.
Finally, this was our last stop in Penang.
Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Taman Emas.
Another place to get delicious assam laksa.
2 bowls of assam laksa and 4 pieces of veggie dumplings.
Just look at the generous amount of fish flakes and thick soup. Add the prawn paste that came in the soup into the soup before you eat! After this, we took a leisure drive all the way back to Ipoh.
Upon reaching Ipoh, together with hubby, we went to our regular shop.
We ordered chapati, a type of Indian flat bread with curry gravy.
We brought out the tubs of durian we brought back from Penang because someone suggested eating chapati with durians and the curry gravy.
To my surprise, it tasted wonderful. Has anyone tried chapati with durian?
Here ends our one day foodie adventure in Penang.

When a man makes a jar out of clay, doesn't he have a right
to use the same lump of clay to make one jar beautiful,
to be used for holding flowers,
and another to throw garbage into?

Maravilloso paseo Nancy, gran comida. Me encantan las flores de tu jardín, son muy hermosas. Feliz día. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear!
DeleteThose two sculpture guys ar so hilarious - a great eye catcher! I always love to see your culinary excursions that look so exotic to me. Enjoy your day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Riitta! Ya, I think the huge superintendent look very fierce!
DeleteDurian and chapathi... well I guess why not!
ReplyDeleteYes, it pairs nicely!
DeleteWish I could taste one fresh durian! The Indian flatbread looks great.

Thank you, Francisco!
DeleteI have eaten durian with rice but not with chapati.
ReplyDeleteI think chapati with durian tastes much better especially with some sambal added to it.
Deletewhen you eat chapati with durian did you put sambal or curry gravy too?
ReplyDeleteI tried both. I prefer the sambal, but my friend prefer curry! Lol!
Delete...the flowers come in so many lovely shades. 🌺
ReplyDeleteI like the combination of the various shades.
DeleteThose little dumplings look so appetizing. When I visit Asia I am always amazed at the different fillings that dumplings contain - and they are all delicious!
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you love dumplings! Yes, they have many varieties of filling!
DeleteSeems like you have been eating quite a lot of durians, do drink lots of water to offset the heat :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby! Have been eating lots of mangosteen and drinking lots of water.
DeleteThe veggie dumpling caught my attention...
ReplyDeleteYes, I love veggie dumplings too!
DeleteLindas flores. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa!
DeleteI've been sick and not eating very much since last Thursday. Today I'm very hungry. A good sign. All this food is making my mouth water. I want all of it. I think I could eat all of it.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, my friend. ♥
Hi Sandee, good to know that you have got back your appetite! That is a good sign! Have a fabulous day too!
DeleteQuite curious sculptures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William!
DeleteWhat IS this first place with all the lights around the pillars? The restaurant? Is this the same place where the awesome smelting sculpture is? It is gorgeous! And those pictures are my favorites. When I first read the sign, I thought it took them 100 years to make the sculpture, ha ha! Then I read it again and understood. I said WOW! when I saw them! You go to the most interesting places!
ReplyDeleteThe place that is all lighted up is sandwiched between the mall and the smelting sculpture.
DeleteThe flowers were a joy to see today, a beautiful array of colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas!
DeleteLove the flowers, so colourful. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane!

Thank you, Sharon! The flowers make me happy too!
DeleteI have never tried any of the food you have shown, so different from what I eat here.
