Sketches of Life

I am a lil bit disappointed with the food that I ate during my recent trip to Penang. I managed to eat the Ikan Bakar (Grilled Fish) at Teluk Tempoyak. The price has doubled up since the last time I went there, which was 8 years ago. Well, that is expected. They are very generous with the chili and the fish is still very fresh but the dipping sauce which is what I craved for is diluted! For the first timer, my friends, that was their best meal in Penang.

Then I wanted to eat the Belacan Fried Rice and Char Hor Fun from Telok Bayan Hawker Stall but both stalls closed on Sunday, the day that I went. So I settled for Teluk Kumbar Prawn Mee. I called it Penang Spaghetti.
No taste of the typical Penang Prawn Mee. The portion is way too little for RM4.00. So I ordered a Claypot Chicken Rice! When I eat 2 servings, it really shows that it is too little. For the guys, I think you will need 4 servings!

I also get to eat the Tomyam Noodle from Sunshine Square Food Court. The price is still the same put the portion has been reduced to half! Thank God I got my daughter’s chicken rice to finish. My friend ordered Bee Hoon and myself, Maggi Noodle but was sent both Bee Hoon. I did not want it and was told it if I wanna change it will take a very long time. I am okay with it. My friend was smart not to pay hers. So that they have to send mine soonest possible in order to get their money. In less than 5 mins, I got my Tomyam Noodle. My friend paid for it but did not get her change until she went to the stall personally to collect it.

Oh ya, I also get to eat the dim sum some where near Gurney Drive. The taste is nothing to shout about. It is just dim sum. Very expensive too. Never eat at Gurney Drive unless someone treats you there.

So, that’s what I had in Penang beside the 8 course wedding dinner.

Stumble it!
