Continuing from our previous adventure in Ipoh, where we explored the culinary delights nestled amidst the mountains (Ipoh: Culinary Delights in the Mountains), we embarked on a journey that spanned trains, boats, and buses. Within two hours, we found ourselves checking into our accommodation in Penang.

After a short outing, it's time to recharge.

Indulge in Culinary Delights with Breathtaking Views

Our first meal in Penang began with a scenic dining experience on Penang Hill.

Don't worry about running out of money, this shop has got you covered.

Lamb steak with salad as a light meal before heading out for some local street food.

Light fruit mocktails to match the atmosphere

At night, it's beautiful in a different way. I didn't expect it to be this beautiful.

:::Eating street food at night:::

Before heading back to our hotel, we decided to grab some street food for dinner. We chose a spot in the alleyway just before our hotel, the one with the orange building in the picture.

Ambiance of the Restaurant

Wan tan mee may look like ordinary wonton noodles, but it is surprisingly delicious.

Char kway teow stir-fried with large prawns and shellfish, a true delicacy.

Appetizers include various kinds of satay.

To conclude with a sweet treat, Cendol, or Lod Chong, a Malaysian dessert. From my experience trying it at various shops, the taste is not sweet. If you have a sweet tooth, you might even consider it bland.

I forgot to drink **Lactobacillus** before bed to help with digestion.

Line Clear, a restaurant serving Nasi Kandar, a type of mixed rice dish, is anything but ordinary. The other day, I saw a long queue of people waiting to be served as I passed by on the bus. This morning, I arrived early at the restaurant, determined to try it for myself.

The Allure of Jumbo Shrimp: A Culinary Adventure in Malaysia

The initial draw to this establishment was undeniable: colossal shrimp, the likes of which I had never encountered at a curry rice stall before. These behemoths, typically reserved for "per kilo" orders at seafood restaurants, must have easily cost upwards of 900 Malaysian Ringgit per kilogram. In a moment of culinary abandon, I also ordered a piece of fried mackerel adorned with stir-fried bean sprouts. To my surprise, the uncle presiding over the stall tallied the cost of this feast at a mere 21.4 Ringgit. My companion, opting for a dish of shrimp with roe and okra, faced a slightly higher price of 24.4 Ringgit. Both orders came with a generous serving of curry gravy.

Lard na again. Today I'm trying a famous shop. If you come during the day, there might not be any seats left.

While Singaporean chendol is often the first to come to mind, a lesser-known fact is that it may have originated in Penang. During our trip, we sampled chendol from both renowned and local establishments, leading us to conclude that the defining characteristic of Penang chendol is its fine, almost sugar-free, strands. Some vendors even omit sugar entirely, resulting in a guilt-free and health-conscious treat. Red beans are a common accompaniment to chendol, adding a contrasting texture and flavor.

After taking pictures of street art in the scorching sun, we decided to take a break and cool down with some refreshing shaved ice.

A refreshing scoop of guava-flavored shaved ice, perfectly paired with ripe mango – a heavenly combination that significantly lowers body temperature.

For the last meal before boarding the plane, I had stir-fried Maggi noodles. What I love about the food here is that every restaurant, if they include shrimp, uses large, plump shrimp. It's definitely worth the money. I finished off with carrot juice to quench my thirst.
