Haha! So ironic~
We went for a Nyonya Feast before we went for the Peranakan Mansion visit!
SRI BATIK NYONYA CAFE
No. 102-A-6, New World Park, 102 Jalan Burmah
10050 Georgetown, Penang
Tel” 04-228 7919
The Inside of the cafe~
The ambience of the place is nice & cosy. Felt like dining in a nyonya house.
The food was not too bad too. Very much of home cooked dishes.
I miss Grandma!!!!
Pardon me. I not sure most of the dishes name.
They ordered before I reached the cafe.
And the pix are not the best. I got only 1 chance to snap b4 it was gobbled up by the hungry people~
Tofu w minced meat?
Too Kar Chor (Pig’s Trotter w vinegar)
Some bbq pork?
Hmmm..Some popiah with lot of ingredient. But i don’t really fancy this.
Jiu Hu Char (Turnip stirred fried with sotong strip)
Prawn. I know “WTF” hahahha~ Nice!
Gulai Tumis (Stingray)
My favorite! It’s quite spicy~Yummm!
Nutmeg Juice. Hmm..Exotic drink.
A good start for food.
Next…
The famous Penang Road Chendol
Yummy~!!!!
Personally, I feel it is not bad. I like the big fat red beans in the chendol. Very fleshy!
It kinda of sweet but still acceptable. Well, this is definitely a “Must Try” dish in Penang!
But, beware of eating at the wrong stall. There is another chendol stall opposite but not unsure of its taste.
Beside Chendol, the other dessert you ought to try out is Penang Ais Kacang or known as ABC.
Very different from the Ice Kachang we have in Singapore.
Beside its big fat red bean, it tasted like Sarsi. I love it.
Next: Dinner@ New Lane
If you are tourist, it is better off to go places like New Lane, Gurney Drive or Northern Cafe for food.
But since it is considered a “tourist attraction”, it will be a little bit more steep in price & taste wise, not so good.
But for variety purposes, I brought them to New Lane.
If you really want to taste the best, you got to travel around.
A scene at New Lane
In Penang, alot of food is sold in this way. Look hygiene but it might be tastier as compared to the rest.
Food taste best if they are cooked over charcoal fire.
Fried Chicken Skin
This is usually sold in the fried chicken van. It is a common sight in roadside stalls & they taste good!
Can compete with ur normal KFC. hahahha~
Curry Mee (Got Pig Blood, Squid, Taupo, Prawn)
Similar to laksa but it is not the same. It is not as thick as the laksa in Singapore.
Penang Hokkien Mee
This is my all-time favorite.
Its rating is gauged from the soup I left in the bowl.
Seem like alot of soup is left in this bowl.
TonTon Mee
Same as our Singapore Wanton Mee. But I prefer Penang one.
The noodle is much more springy and it is a darker version since dark soya sauce is used.
Note: Malaysia Dark Soya Sauce is much more authentic and nicer in taste.
Chee Cheong Fan
Simple dish but a dish to die for. The fragrant prawn paste make up for everything!
Assorted Piggy Porridge – got fried intestine too!
Penang Char Koay Teow
Another must Eat dish. But not in new lane pls.
It tasted bad and expensive.
As I say, “tourist attraction”. They charged differently, depending on your nationality I guess.
Well..that’s all for the food intro on the 1st day! 2nd day soon!
very long nv eat pig blood liao ..
hmm … still prefer the chendol n food in malacca .. maybe coz i went lots of time … =)
ur pics all blur de…lousy cam
Boots:
Hahahhaaa..i dun dare eat pig blood! i ate the durian chendol in melaka. Think it has deproved alot. Melaka famous for portugeese food right? What else? Fishcake? But the nyonya food, i think the one i had in Penang is nicer.
Mr K:
That’s why. A DSLR as a gift sound good.
Hi,
Do you have the address or street name of where the chendol is located at? and the full address of the the street food?
