My parents, Jerome & I drove up to Penang then to Hat Yai for a few days in December last year. And look at what we ate!
This is perhaps the most famous Penang Laksa stall in Penang!
Finally the bowl of authentic Penang Laksa that I've been dreaming about for years!
Tasty thick white noodles in a sour & spicy soup base with lots of kamong fish meat.
The laksa noodles tasted really great, totally different from the ones we usually eat in Singapore.
The softest muah chee we have ever eaten...
This is the muah chee hawker who has a facebook account.
Seafood at Bukit Tambun...
Green Mango Calabu... that's what I call a real appetizer.
Stir-fry lahlah with ginger & spring onion.
The best chilli kangkong we've eaten...
Fried Crabs with Curry Paste
The highlight of the meal- steam grouper's head. This is actually a quarter of the entire fish head.
This is really the star of the dish- the thick fish skin. Well, I still prefer the flesh.
Here's the address if anyone wants to visit the restaurant.
What about some fruits after dinner?
A fruit stall at some dark corner...
First, pick a stick of fruits...
Then dip it into either the spicy or non-spicy rojak sauce.
The price list...
When you're done, just pay according to the number of sticks you have accumulated.
The next morning, we had dim sum at Chao Quan. Think they have easily over 100 variety of dim sum & dishes.
A wonderful version of fried carrot cake.
In the afternoon, we made our way to Hat Yai, Thailand.
Uncle Yao brought us out for many meals...
More chinese than thai...
Fish head steamboat... somewhat like what we have locally.
Fried oyster with eggs on hotplate. This is the dish that still get us talking...
I don't usually eat the oysters as I find them rather fishy but these oysters here were really fresh.
They're big, fat and juicy! Pardon the oil, this is really a great dish.
Jerome was saying that we can visit next time just to eat this dish!
After all that feasting, we decided to go for something light for breakfast.
Pork porridge that was surprisingly good :)
Then we decided we should have some Thai food since we're in Thailand...
Fish Otah in a bowl that's really goooood!
Most important- the Tom Yum Goong!
We went shopping at the local market and tried some of the food from the street vendors.
Sticky Mango Rice.
Thinking of when we can eat visit again...
