Last week, hubby and I followed a friend for a short day trip to Penang. Our friend came to pick us up from our house at about 7:30 am. The weather was nice and cool and it was a smooth drive all the way with light traffic. My hand phone's battery need charging so I didn't snap any photo along the way. Our friend took us to Big Crab Street Food at Fortune Park, Jelutong for breakfast. We ordered the following for 4 people to share.
2 plates prawn mee dry version. This is my first time tasting dry prawn mee. I still miss the prawn mee in soup version.
1 bowl kolo mee with bbq pork.
I love the noodle used for this kolo mee.
2 pieces of crispy thin peanut and coconut pancakes.
Peanut and coconut - yummy combination for the pancakes.
Some dim sum items for sharing.
Saw this hanging pot after I alighted from the car. Interesting to see plants growing upwards and downwards from the pot.
Our friend took us to this old coffee shop for Penang's coffee.
My unsweetened coffee with evaporated milk - kopi-C kosong.
Some toast with kaya (coconut egg spread) with coffee.
After our coffee treat, time to move on to get some street snack.
Famous Fried Tee Kuih (neen koh) in Penang.
Sold at RM 1.50 per piece.
We left Penang for Taiping at about 1 pm.
A variegated Gardenia flower from my garden.
Clay vases from Wood Craft museum, Ipoh.
Pretty words may hide a wicked heart,
just as a pretty glaze covers a common clay pot.

the noodles are so tempting! I miss the crispy apam! long time didn't have that.
ReplyDeleteNow I am missing and thinking of the coconut peanut apam! So yummy!
DeleteThank you for sharing this wonderful post keep your awesome work
ReplyDeleteI have many hobbies. I love to travel and read. But my favorite hobby is cooking. Let me tell you why! First, I'll tell you a little bit about why I started cooking. Secondly, I'll give you some information about what I like to cook. Third, I will say how I use the vietnamese food for cooking.
When I started cooking, I was 10 years old. My mom wants me to be a chef. She has always believed that girls have to make different types of food, because one day they will get married. In my country, it is normal for girls not to cook. I feel lucky because I can cook many dishes. Now that I cook some of the dishes my children and husband love, I become happy and proud of my mother and myself. i am a food blog
Yes, we enjoy our cooking hobby. Thank you for your visit and comment.
DeleteWhat a short day trip to PG. I don't think I have eaten at fortune park jelutong. I like eating crispy apam too. Both plants made full use of the pot to grow upwards and downwards. The coffee shop must be popular for your friend to recommend to you. Where did you buy the neen Koh in PG? I have been to PG many times but don't know where to buy neen Koh.
ReplyDeleteThe neen koh is sold from a roadside stall at Jalan Free School roadside, Taman Free School. Stall opens from 10:30 am to 4 pm daily.
DeleteThanks for the info. Will note it down.
DeleteYou are most welcome.
DeleteI like the clay vases. Malaysia is a big country, so you can travel from state to state, how nice!
ReplyDeleteThe distance between Ipoh and Penang is quite near so it is not tiring.
DeleteI want some pancakes! You always discovered the most interesting eats, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. It is all thanks to my friend who ordered the pancakes for us to try.
Delete...beautiful vases Nancy, but I need some help with a translation! Thanks for stopping by, take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. I too do not understand and needs translation too.
DeleteI want the fried tee kueh! The pancakes are the crispy type which I find quite nice but my favorite is the thick spongy one.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...I love all three of them.
DeleteIve never seen variegated gardenia! Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/08/big-batch-quick-dinner-rolls.html

DeleteOh yum! All of the food looks so delicious, it makes me hungry just looking at it. Love your beautiful Gardenia too, they smell so good. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteKolo mee in Penang?? It looked authentic enough. But I prefer those straight noodle than the curly type in my kolo mee.
ReplyDeleteDrooling at the peanut pancake.
I have not tasted the authentic kolo mee but I do like the texture of this kolo mee. I am missing the peanut and coconut pancake.
DeleteThis food look very delicious. Thank you for sharing.

DeleteLovely outing with your friend. Maybe you can show photos of Penang later.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will try to take more pictures of Penang next time.
DeleteWow, the pancakes are quite yummy and the Fried Tee Kuih are inviting for a bite. Interesting how the plants grew on both sides of the pot!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteHow on earth are these plants growing upside down??
ReplyDeleteI think it is amazing that the plant can grow upside down.
DeleteI love the vases and the flower is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda.
DeleteIt sounds like it was a nice visit with the friend!
ReplyDeleteIt was. Thank you, Mimi.
DeleteHow lovely are the vases
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo-Anne.
DeleteI have plenty of those type of plants at home! Plant growing from top, weed from the bottom. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteOh I have tried dry prawn mee as instant noodles. Didn't think there was a fresh version as well. Yeah isn't the whole idea of prawn noodles the prawn soup stock.
After tasting the dry version, I can now say that prefer the soup version.
DeleteThank you, Francisco.
ReplyDeleteI really thought I had commented on this...I love those vases.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose.
DeleteEsa gardenia me gusta. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
