Teochew Cendol near Komtar

Food hunting was not easy especially if you have 2 cranky babies who were not willing to ride in car seat. We were finding for the famous Teowchew Cendol stall situated at one of the small lorong. Unfortunately after making so many rounds around  Komtar building for more than an hour with kids screaming, both boys wanting only Mummy to carry them and not Kakak, calls made to Healy’s hubby and also stopping by to ask local people, we just could not see any old man selling this famous cendol at any small lorong. Thus an old man directed us to this modern one, and sorry to say, the taste is a total disappointment to all of us. Best cendol for us is still in Kuantan, selling by a Mamak stall beside Shell station along the mainroad on way to heading to Teluk Cempedak.

Genting Cafe, Lorong Delima 6, Greenland (in a housing area)

One of the main reason why I kept wanting to go to Penang. I just cannot forget this very nice Chee Cheong Fun I had there years ago. Although my brother is familiar with Penang food, he has no idea which restaurant I am refering to, each time I tell him. (Just like how I cannot remember the name of restaurant in Melaka, where I usually dine our local food). Luckily we found it after stopping by to ask people nearby.

Chee Cheong Fun from Genting Cafe (Big Rm2.50)

My brother did “ta-pau” similar chee cheong fun, also with Har-Kou (Shrimp Paste) from Gurney Drive on the first night, but it taste so terrible awful that I did not even wanna swallow it. Am I too fussy or what? Nothing beats this one from Genting Cafe, I guess. We ordered 2 big plates and tapau back too. Hubby said I so “Tong Jiak”!

Char Keow Teow at Genting cafe (RM3.50)

Know whats the reason of pricing all the food above? You know, our eyes almost popped out when the hawker collected Rm10 for 2 plates of fried keow teow at New Lanes! Crazily. At Genting Cafe, it is only Rm3.50 and it tasted  much better too.

Muar Chee

I must say that Gurney Drive still have the best Muar Chee. Too bad we did not have a chance to sneak out of the hotel after the kids were asleep although hubby and I planned to, earlier.
