This is my mum's favourite dish so she cannot afford to miss this dish when in Penang. The kangkung vege was nicely blanched till the right texture there by retaining its crunchiness and bright green colour. Same goes to the well blanched sotong slices, tender and nice to savour. The black sauce was thicker than here in KL, which I find lacked the strong taste. But the chilli paste/sauce saved the dish.

This famous Penang delicacy is not to be missed, thanks to its inviting ingredient inside named prawn paste. This unique point in this dish makes me craving for more and more. The fruits here are fresh and crunchy, went well with the black sauce concocted with har kou and peanuts. Sadly the prawn paste was not as thick as it used to be 10 years ago. Maybe I should find another stall that serves sticky har kou with fruits

Penang is famous for its delicacy called oh chien aka oyster omellete. I can't afford to miss this, particularly due to the very inviting aroma as I was sitting at the table just in front of it. The oysters here tasted really fresh and sweet, something I can't get here in KL. But the size was rather small and little overcooked. The batter with egg was nicely fried with wok hei and well seasoned. I can't stop dipping it into the special sesame chilli sauce. Quite addictive stuf I would say.

One cannot simply miss this famous Penang delicacy when staying in this island. I find that the noodles here were rather soggy but in the good way, due to a more genuine rice flour taste compared to those boric acid laden noodles (lai fun). The broth was nicely sour without strong vinegar taste, like the ones here in KL that I used to have. My only complaint here is that the broth lacked minced fish meat in it. Coupled with condiments such as shredded lettuce, cucumbers, onions, mint leaves and

Since I'm a Penangite, I wanna recommend few must-eat foods in Gurney Drive Hawker Stalls and I'm sure everyone who visits Penang will definitely pay a visit to Gurney Drive too!Nutmeg juice is the specialty beverage in Penang. You can order the white-coloured nutmeg juice too which is raw blended, unlike this red coloured is cooked nutmeg. Anyway I prefer this I know many people don't eat cockles, but trust me you may love this once you try it!Of course other must-pick foods include laksa, cha

After a disappointing day of not having the chance to taste the famous Sister's Char Koay Teow, my friend was so excited to find it here in Gurney Drive. Hence, the plate of (more expensive than usual) Char Koay Teow with duck egg. Like some other dishes we ordered here, it was way too salty for us!! Maybe it's the duck egg? There wasn't a smoky aroma, just saltiness. The extra we paid for the duck egg was not worth it.

This plate of char koay kak is definitely not the best I have had in Penang AND in KL. The pieces are quite big and they aren't soft enough. More like chewy and bouncy instead of a softer melty texture. The portion is reasonable though and they do include lots of big, juicy beansprouts. The dish, especially the egg pieces, were very salty. Apart from the salt, I don't really taste much from this dish.

Got ourselves one of the must-try dishes in Penang, fried oyster or oh chien. Basically, it is oyster fried with egg. This is the smallest size and cost us RM 6. If I'm not mistaken, it's from stall number 31, beside the satay stall. Unfortunately, it was extremely salty! Apart from that though, it was tasty. The oysters are fresh enough and fleshy. About 40% of the plate are oysters.
