Nothing comes close to Penang street food. This time, the Gourmet Traveller falls head over heels for street food you have to try at least once in your life.
We have a treasure here worth preserving and protecting.
Is Penang Asia’s best place to eat street food? Pat Nourse ventures to the Malaysian island and finds a paradise for hungry diners.
In France, they say, people talk at lunch about what they’re going to have at dinner, but when it comes to talking about the dinner you’re going to eat immediately after the dinner you’re eating right now, the people of Penang win hands down. Penang is a tropical island where, as one local puts it, “the weather never changes so everyone talks about food instead”. Here, eating isn’t so much a way to pass the time or simply sustain life, but rather, the national sport. Every Penangite is a player. And, regardless of their background, they play to win.

#4 Penang Street Food in Samantha Brown’s Top 5 in Malaysia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIDeeekiofs
However, #1 is her experience with sea turtle off Penang shore.
so don’t just eat eat eat but care for the nature like Samantha does, ok my tham chiak kui friends ????
🙂 🙂 🙂
Yes, we shouldn’t overlook the little things of Nature that give so much joy to people. Life is a lot more than theme parks and shopping malls.
But look at the things in her top 5. Nothing to do with property development!
If only our developers can think like Samantha, there would be no need for concerns of wildebeest rampage of Penang Property Chase & Surreal Prices.
The same goes to the urbanites who live and sleep all things hitech and plastics. And development mentality of politicians who can’t differentiate sustainable development from destructive icon buildings.
It’s the simple thing in life that makes us thrilled and appreciative of its precious moments, money cannot buy.
Time to plan an overnight trip to Pantai Keracut and live like Robinson Crusoe with just a machete and 6 highly-tuned senses for Nature.
I enjoy my Penang Hawker Fair at York Hotel in Singapore last weekend. Price is higher but I save on travel cost to Penang as I am living in JB.
