Lunch In Penang Before Driving Back To Ipoh

From Penang Hill, we reached the apartment just before 12 noon. Our bags were all packed and ready to go but we need to wait for the owner to collect the keys and check the apartment before claiming back our deposit. We got into the car and drove over to Ghee Hiang (next to Tropicana) to buy a few bottles of sesame oil and biscuits. We took snapshots of these cute sculptures in front of the building.

Good thing a friend took these snapshots.

After Ghee Hiang biscuit shop, our friend directed us to a food court for lunch. I can't remember the name or place of the food court. We shared the following food items.
We bought 2 packet of nasi lemak with blue rice (blue pea colour).
Steamed kuih in brown sugar syrup.
Not enough, more to come.
Then came this rojak Mamak style
Chinese doughnuts or hum chim peng.
We find these tastier than those in Ipoh.
A bowl of assam laksa to taste.
Some roasted pork to taste.
Coffee with floral pattern.
Penang has their own white coffee.
Crossing Penang bridge back to the mainland.
Goodbye Penang, until our next visit.

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and
believes him who sent me has eternal life and
will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
(John 5:24, New International Version-NIV)

  3. The little sculptures are so cute! What is white coffee? Is it really white? Maybe it is coffee with a lot of cream? The food looks delicious!

    1. I think it has something to do with the way it is roasted and it is usually served with condensed milk added to it.
