Joo Hooi @ Komtar – Penang Hawker Food Series
Durian. The King of Fruits.
Lorong Selamat – Penang Hawker Fare Series
THIS IS MY 100TH POST!
Strange but true. And I always thought I’ve been writing a lot but sadly no. Anyway, here’s my continuation on the Penang series and let’s hope my next 100 post would be much …. faster.
New Lane – Penang Hawker Fare Series
Colloquially known as “The Pearl of the Orient” the name “Penang” comes from the modern Malay name Pulau Pinang, which means island of the betel nut tree. Although Penang is a popular spot for tourism, it’s the gastronomic journey that you should be participating in. And since dining experience is what I love doing, I might as well do my part and share about Penang food, as would the rest of the foodies.
This is just the beginning of a long series of my postings, of Penang and Ipoh food.. To start it off, here’s something on the hawker fares along the New Lane street … just opposite Sunway Hotel Georgetown, Penang.
Genting Palace Restaurant
Genting. The City of Entertainment.
I believe everyone’s heard of this tagline. At least from the holiday perspective. I recently found out these facts. This hilltop resort features 6 hotels with more than 10,000 hotel rooms (I can only imagine the amount of bedsheets to change .. I have one at home and I am having problem with it…), over 90 dining outlets (yes foodies … big nine oh!), 80 plus shopping outlets (must people go all the way up there to shop?) and of course the theme parks which features more than 50 fun rides (did I also mention scary?).
With all that, it’s no wonder the resort has won many, many local and international tourism related awards.
