I made a really really short trip to Penang today. How short? Hmm I think I spent about 2 hours there. Yup that short.
I’ve not been to Penang for more than 7-8 years (if not mistaken la ya; lazy to go through my old analogue Penang photos to find out exactly when).
So many things have changed in Penang! In what way? I don’t know but I sensed it. Kekeke
I love old pre-war buildings.
And the majestic Penang Bridge… ohh how can anyone refuse its beauty. They’re all taken from the car’s window from outrageous funny? angles.
Penangites, some of you cross the Penang Bridge almost everyday. Are you still in awe of its beauty after so many years looking at it?
I learnt a new word today. Ottu Kedai. It’s a mini sundry shop. Wonder what Ottu means.
And finally Nasi Kandar. No trip to Penang can be considered complete without eating Penang Nasi Kandar (and also Penang char kueh tiaw, Penang cendol, asam laksa… and many many more). But because I didn’t try any nasi kandar from my last visit there, the word nasi kandar is stucked hard in my mind for a very very very long time. So this time must try lo.
This is the femes one called Line Clear Nasi Kandar recommended by some of you & friends from Penang & Klang Valley. It’s very easy to find. Just find the old Odeon theater located at the junction of Jalan Penang & Lebuh Chulia. The stall is just opposite the theater.
I’m not sure how I’m going to describe this picture. Heavenly? Lip smacking good? More like I’m ‘lau nuah-ing’
Our verdict for this stall is hmm… so-so nia. Maybe because we didn’t try that many varieties of curry available there. My kurma chicken so-so. Chicken no taste leh. Fish curry is salty. But anyway I totally enjoyed my Nasi Kandar. I like the kurma kuah. Hehe.

I think 1998 was the last I was in Penang. Penang Bridge, what it looks like ah? I love pre-war buildings too. Too bad a lot of them in ipoh weren’t well taken care of.
nowadays the line clear nasi kandar is not tasty as before.
Dawn, wah also so long already. What it looks like? Hmm all I can say is triangle. haha I like Ipoh’s one too after Melaka & Penang. Hehe
Mumtaz, really? For you where is the best Nasi Kandar in Penang?

Wow! You did a “touch n go” thing is it?
Haven’t been to Penang for 7-8 years, and only spent 2 hours there, hence touch n go. Haha!
Penang bridge very beautiful meh? I think more beautiful bridges at Putrajaya. Haha! But Penang bridge does sort of brings back memories for me, so I do treasure it! π
Xin, oh ya I’ve forgotten about the haze in Penang. Thankfully there were none yesterday. Haha
Foongpc, yeah touch n go aje. Ya Penang Bridge is beautiful.:smile: Maybe I’m one of the few to appreciate its beauty. keke I’ve not seen those bridges in Putrajaya le. You studied in Penang before?

Oops! Never know Penang Nasi Kandar is so famous wor. I didn’t try it when I was there a couple of years ago…. or just not enough stomach space to fill after all other stuffs like char kuoy teow, assam laksa, duck feet soup, rojak…. π
The nasi kandar there is over rated. but it looks good doesnt it π
