3 Meals Of Goodness

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.

As usual, most popular food streets in Penang offers plenty of delicious and cheap Malaysian food. New Lane sports countless food stalls, almost a veritable “food paradise” but not all of them are as good. Well, according to popular sources and tips from various fellow foodies, there are few stalls which is famed for some specialties.

Loh Bak – Munchy and crispy to the last bit.
Popiah – Ask the vegetarian version !
Satay – When you’re in Penang, go for pork satay …
Cockels – You can never get enough of the slimy, bloody …. delicious “see-ham”!
Porridge – Ever tried one with pig “spare-parts”?

Instead of writing, I’ll let the pictures below paint the words for you.

And here’s the map if you ever get lost in Georgetown, Penang (very unlikely).

Here are what the others wrote about New Lane.
