Breakfast, Lunch & Snack - Penang Foodie Marathon Day 1.

Sometimes the trips we planned way ahead never happened but those that we planned at a short notice happened. For our latest Penang foodie trip, we started our journey at about 6:30 am.

This photo was taken just before we entered the Menora Tunnel - 7:00 am.

Driving on the north bound highway on a fogging morning.

Driving on the 1st Penang bridge - 8:30 am.

Thank God, the haze was not too bad that day.

First thing we did was to feed our hungry stomach with our favourite koay teow th'ng at Kedai Makanan 113, Lebuh Melayu, Georgetown.

Breakfast crowd.

3 bowls of koay teow th'ng (duck meat noodles) to be shared by 6 people.

By sharing, we get to taste more varieties.

A bowl of fish balls.

A plate of braised duck meat, innards, tofu and eggs.

This breakfast was first on our foodie list.

Next, we went for our 2nd item on our foodie list.

Air Itam Assam Laksa.

2 big pots of assam laksa soup - 10:20 am.

Again, we ordered 3 bowls of assam laksa for 6 people.

That settled our craving for assam laksa. We realized that the soup was not as thick as before, and that was much later in the day.

Item 3 on our foodie list - Deep fried snack.

Our favourite stall selling deep fried tee kuih (sticky glutinous rice with taro and sweet potato slices) at Jalan Free School. 

There were already customers waiting ahead of us.

Price list for the fried snacks.

Bought these deep fried snacks.

Some of us just couldn't resist, we just had to sink our teeth into these in the car.

4 item on our foodie list - Starbright Coffee.

The stall is opposite this Penang Hotel Collection at Lebuh Nordin.

This time there was no long queue, probably we were early - 12:30 pm.

We still have to wait in queue for our coffee to be prepared. They have now upgraded - there is a shop with tables and chairs for customers to enjoy their coffee.

Starbright coffee - 3 hot and 1 cold - to be shared.

From here, we drove to Tropicana 218 Macalister where we booked an apartment for our one night stay. To be continued in my next posting.

Praise the Lord!

For all who fear God and trust in him are blessed beyond expression.

Yes, happy is the man who delights in doing his commands.

His children shall be honored everywhere,

for good men's sons have a special heritage.

(Psalm 112:1-2, The Living Bible-TLB)

Our First Meal In Penang, Kwai Teow Th'ng For Breakfast.

I am starting with this first post of our 2D1N holiday in Penang. We started our journey early (7.50 am) was because we wanted to have breakfast in Penang.

 It was a nice cool day for travelling.

 There was mist covering the mountains.

 It was a Friday and the traffic was not heavy.

 We took the 1st bridge.

 The drive from Ipoh to Penang was about 2 hours plus.

 I like this part of the Penang bridge.

 By now, our tummies were giving out hungry signals.

Parking spaces are limited. We managed to find one and we needed to walk to the coffee shop.

We passed by this Heritage House with these beautiful designs.

Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Satu Satu Tiga (113) at Lorong Melayu. I have been here before but some of my friends have not. And we like to introduce the food here to those who haven't.

*     *     *     *     *

We ordered the following for 6 people to share.

We need to keep space for other yummy food.

4 bowls of kway teow th'ng for 6 people.

 A plate of kway chap consisting of slices of braised pork belly, tofu, pork intestines, coagulated blood, hard boiled eggs, etc. We finished off almost everything, leaving behind the coagulated blood which none of us ate. 

 3 bowls of fish balls to share.

When eating together in groups, the food seems to taste better.

My coffee served in this cup.

Has anyone tried this Fatty Loh Chicken rice?

It claims to be one of the top 10 Hainan Chicken Rice King. 

Porridge and rice are served for lunch only.

This photo was taken in Teluk Intan and is for linking to Good Fences.

Linking to Good Fences.

And when that time comes,

all doing wrong will do it more and more;

the vile will become more vile; good men will be better;

those who are holy will continue on in greater holiness.

See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me,

to repay everyone according to the deeds he has done.

(Revelation 22:11-12, The Living Bible-TLB)
