Chinese Pasembur (cheh hu) @ Lebuh Cecil Market

This is one of the busiest market in Penang. Right in the smack of Penang. Once you enter, there are so many stalls; even just deciding where to sit is a problem.

Chinese pasembur aka 'cheh hu'. It is a salad of fritters, shredded fresh vegetables, jelly fish, sesame seeds and the plum flavored sauce is sweeter instead of spicy peanut sauce used for indian pasembur.

Ah Pom @ Golden Sands Hawkers

There are many kinds of ah pom aka pancakes in Malaysia. There are:

1. Chinese style - "ban chien kuih" which is served with lots of peanuts and corn
2. Chinese style - "ah pom" which is served with banana
3. Indian style - 'apom telur' which really is just flour, egg & sugar...

This one is apom telur, the indian style... it is thick in the middle while thin & crispy on the sides. Very yummy!

Cooked using small woks over hot charcoal and bare hands! You will have to peel it with ur hands because of the thin skin before it is over cooked! Lots of experience needed...

Note: I forgot to take the pic of the final product coz we 'ta pao' home. Will do it the next time!

Location: Golden Sands Hawker Stall, beside Penang Chinese Swimming Club

Price: RM2.00 for 5 pcs or RM0.50 per pcs (of course 5 pc!)

Macalister Lane - Chee Cheong Fun

This is the second place for Chee Cheong Fun. It is operated by 2 elderly couple. It was the first dish we ordered when we arrived and it only came about 20 mins later. And trust me, it's not because they are slow. But it was worth the wait.

The texture of the rice sheets and the not-so-strong "hae-ko" smell... Oh, and it is not very oily... Overall, we really enjoyed it!

New Lane - Chee Cheong Fun

Chee cheong fun are square rice sheets which are used in asian cuisine. The sheets are made from a viscous mixture of rice flour and water. This liquid is poured onto a specially-made flat pan in which it is steamed to produce the square rice sheets. Chee cheong fun can be served with different flavour of sauce. In Penang, Chee Cheong Fun is served with "hae ko", oil, sesame seetd & chilli sauce. Chee cheong fun @ New Lane is very popular amongst the locals. However, we found it to be a little too oily, which spoils the taste.

Ah Chooi Ah Pom

This is the place most penangites 'drives through' for an afternoon snack!

The uncle who makes the ah pom will always go to your car to get the orders, tell you roughly how long you have to wait, make & pack them before passing it to you! A very nice & humble man who is there come rain or shine.
