Penang Tales : Dining with The Most Beautiful Scenery in Penang (Part 2)

This is Part 2 of our Penang Trip. Both my sisters came back from USA and Australia respectively for a short break. We went to Penang to visit our mom's side family and had a simple family wedding dinner ceremony of my sister Skye (  @skyemak  ) and her husband, Victor.

Here we traveled to Armenian Street in Georgetown and visited some tourist attractions there ie Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple, Khoo Kongsi, Famous Murals like the Bicycle Mural, and did some shopping. Then for lunch, we went to Restaurant Taman Emas opposite Penang Girl School for their laksa (It's really delicious but I've tasted better). Then we went to Straits Quay and had Nyonya Dinner at Nyonya Breeze. It was great!

We spent the next day at Penang Hill. Visited many attractions within the Penang Hill, my sister Skye went to The Habitat with Victor. The rest of us chilled at David Brown at the top of Penang Hill. Then we gathered and headed to Hickory at Penang Hill for Lunch. It was the most memorable experience. Scenery of Penang is most beautiful there. The over a century old structure is very well maintained and clean. Food was amazing. It was quiet. I think not many people know about it. Or many just don't want the trouble of stopping in the middle of Penang Hill as the Funicular Railway train only stops by there once every hour and we had to let them know in advance each travel, and call them again 5 minutes prior to the departure time.

My sister had her simple wedding dinner for family at Starview. It was delicious and cozy.

9 Awesome Food To Try At Cecil Street Market - Penang Foodie

[buffetlicious]

In my previous post, I mentioned that we were going out to eat at the newly opened restaurant in Sun Plaza. This is the Nan Yang Dao (南洋岛) restaurant we patronized, and boy was it packed. We were given just one menu so I gave it to mum to let her choose what she wanted. And she picked the Penang Fried Kway Teow (槟城炒粿条) I wanted to eat so I chose something else. My mum had barely eaten it when one random woman asked if the dish was good. She told her that it was indeed yummy. Stir-fried with bean sprouts, plump prawns, slices of fish cake and Chinese sausage, the kway teow were more savoury than sweet and full of wok hei. The noodles were mildly spicy but nothing we can’t handle.

Originally, this Signature Trio Mini Noodles (招牌迷你烫面) consisting of three different mini sized bowls of noodles were intended for mum but she had chosen hers. From right to left, I started off with the Pork Ball Noodle Soup (吊片猪肉丸面汤). Tasted like our fish ball noodle but with two springy pork balls. The yellow noodles, bean sprouts and shredded cabbage is soaked in the flavourful and wholesome broth.

The next bowl, I tried is the Penang Prawn Noodle Soup (槟城虾面) but the prawn is nowhere to be found! Instead, I get slices of pork, fishcake, bean sprouts and a quarter of an egg. Luckily, the yellow noodles were swimming in umami filled broth cooked with the extracted oil from the prawns’ head and shell.

So, this is where the prawn jumped itself into. The Seafood Curry Mee (海鲜咖喱面) had only one seafood and that is the prawn. The other so-called seafood were mainly prawn rolls or other items made from fish or prawn paste. The spicy curry cooked with coconut milk is rich and flavourful which goes well with the yellow noodles. If you are the type who likes to try many different dishes at once, be sure to order this trio of mini noodles.

To finish the meal, I had the Bear Iced Coffee (小熊冰镇咖啡). Came in a small jug and topped with a cute little ice bear. I love the thick bitter yet not too sweet milk coffee. We were seated next to the glass cabinet filled with lovely and yummy looking Puff Pastry Egg Tarts (酥皮蛋挞). Many customers were seen buying but we had to give them a miss as we were just too full at that moment. But we will order it the next time we are here.

green house hokkien mee 青屋蝦麵, georgetown, penang.

it’s one of the popular spot to get penang hokkien mee or prawn mee. they have many kinds of noodles to choose from and two kinds of broth - prawn broth and the thick broth. also quite a lot of addons available to customize your bowl of noodles. i like to mix both the broth to get the best of both worlds.

the prawn broth is very fragrant with nice prawn smell, and the thick broth adds texture which make it so appetizing and yummy. we also ordered lobak as appetizer which taste great too. this would be one of the original hawker food that still taste as good as i remembered.

National Hot Sauce Day

Tingle your tastebuds with this spicy condiment, sample sauces from all over the world or challenge your friends to try the hotter varieties.

Are you more of a Tabasco person, or are the spicy chili peppers of Southeast Asia the ones that get your mouth watering? Should hotness be combined with salty flavors or rather sweet ones? Whatever you believe and whatever your preferences, if you are one of those people who feels that “spicy” is never quite spicy enough, National Hot Sauce Day is the perfect day for you!

History of National Hot Sauce Day

Humans started using chili peppers and other such spices thousands of years ago, with many historians believing that chili peppers were one of the earliest plants harvested by humans. Back in this era, historians believe the recipe was a simple mixture of peppers and water mixed into a liquid or thick paste.

In South and Central America, there is evidence of chili peppers being used for cooking as early as 6,000 years ago, but they did not reach Europe until the 16th century when Portuguese and Spanish explorers began sending all sorts of unusual foods from the New World back home.

The first hot sauce to be available in a bottle appeared in shops in the state of Massachusetts in the year 1807, and then suddenly, hot sauce was everywhere and being added to everything. Tabasco sauce is one of the earliest brands to have come into existence that still exists today, being bottled and sold for the first time in 1868.

Today’s recipes contain a wide variety of peppers, and many food enthusiasts argue passionately about which pepper makes the best sauce. Some of the most commonly used peppers are jalapeños, reapers, Thai chilies, cayenne peppers, serranos, and ghost peppers. The hottest pepper in the world is often considered to be the Carolina Reaper, with a Scoville rating of 2,000,000 (the average jalapeno pepper ranking at only 3,500 Scoville Heat Units)!

National Hot Sauce Day Timeline

1492

Explorers to the New World experience chiles

It is believed that Christopher Columbus may be one of the first explorers from Europe to taste chiles. He names them “peppers” because of their spicy flavor that is similar to the black peppercorns he was looking for.

1807

Hot Sauce first appears in America

In the north eastern state of Massachusetts, newspaper advertisements show that hot sauce appears on the market around this time and is sold as “cayenne sauce”.

1868

Tabasco Pepper Sauce is first created

Edmund McIlhenny feels that the diet of southerners in the US is a bit bland, so he plants a crop of commercial peppers and creates his classic Tabasco pepper hot sauce.

1964

Buffalo Wings are invented

One of the quintessential carriers for spicy, peppery sauce, Buffalo Wings take shape in Buffalo, New York when a restaurant owner makes a late night snack for her son and his friends. The restaurant owner’s son and the hot sauce supplier later go on the road together, promoting the use of hot sauce on fried chicken wings.

1980

Sriracha Sauce hits the market

A refugee from Vietnam, David Tran, starts a company in California and names his hot sauce after a city in Thailand: Sri Racha. The sauce contains not only chili peppers but also other ingredients such as garlic and sugar. The hot sauce becomes almost an instant hit.

An Important Distinction

While a real hot sauce lover will know the answer to this question immediately, you may not. Is hot sauce and sriracha the same thing? Many recipes use them interchangeably, but to be a spicy food fan, it is important to know the difference!

Hot sauce and sriracha, while being used in the same way, are usually not considered to be the same thing. The most noticeable difference between the two is the texture, with the hot sauce being more of a liquid and sriracha being a thicker paste. However, there are more subtle differences that separate the two.

According to most chefs, the flavor profiles are distinct from each other, with sriracha containing additions of sugars and garlic, while also being less spicy in many ways. However, even with its differences, many still agree that you can enjoy sriracha in the same ways.

How to Celebrate National Hot Sauce Day

Tongue-burning food-lovers unite! National Hot Sauce Day is the perfect excuse to enjoy the feeling of fire in your mouth all day long. The best way to celebrate this smoking hot holiday is to get together with like-minded people who aren’t afraid of a little spice. Spend the afternoon sampling different hot sauces from all over the world.

According to a survey in 2014, the world’s ten best hot sauces are:

10. Valentina Salsa Picante: This sweet and sour hot sauce has a citrusy tang to it. Made in Mexico, this sauce is sure to add a kick to your meal.

9. Texas Pete: This sauce was made by accident at a little family-run restaurant in 1929 and is a bit weaker than most Louisiana-style sauces. Most commonly seen in American restaurants alongside Tabasco, Texas Pete is a staple.

8. Tabasco: This is a classic, there’s no doubt about it. It contains more vinegar than other hot sauces tend to, adding a punchy kick full of flavor for any meal.

7. Tapatio: This hot sauce is also a bit sweet, with a distinct garlicky flavor. Tapatio is often enjoyed in Bloody Mary drinks as well.

6. Louisiana Hot Sauce Original: This is Louisiana’s number one hot sauce, and we all know those Cajuns know a thing or two about spice.

5. Huy Fong Chili Garlic: Long story short, this stuff is thick, hot, garlicky, and delicious.

4. Frank’s Red Hot: This is the main ingredient in buffalo wing sauce. ‘Nuff said.

3. Crystal: People from Louisiana (yes, Louisiana again) swear by this stuff.

2. Cholula: This delightfully hot Mexican sauce is made from pequin peppers that are 7 times hotter than jalapenos.

1. Huy Fong Sriracha: It’s no wonder the fame of this sauce reaches far and wide. It’s spicy, salty, and seems to go well with almost everything. This is definitely a favorite the world over.

For the avid hot sauce lover in your life, consider a gift they’ll never forget, a hot sauce sampler gift. These contain a variety of themed or regular hot sauce bottles from around the world. For the most daring of taste testers, grab a few friends, and try out the Hot Sauce Pain Challenge: a set that ranges in levels from mild to severe heat. For those who are craftier, consider buying a hot sauce-making kit, a perfect family or friend activity that results in a delicious and spicy outcome.

So, what are you waiting for? Get a few friends together, buy lots of milk to wash these sauces down, and let the sampling begin! And if you’re feeling guilty about doing this to your poor stomach: don’t. Spicy foods fight bacteria and can help speed up your metabolism, so if you only do this every now and then, think of it as doing your body a favor.

Penang Tales : Food, Heritage, and More! (Part 1)

Both my sisters came back from USA and Australia respectively for a short break. We went to Penang to visit our mom's side family and had a simple family wedding dinner ceremony of my sister Skye ( @skyemak1454 ) and her husband, Victor.

Our cousins in Penang always welcome us with super warm treatment and hospitality. We had an amazing dinner at Maple Palace Chinese Restaurant when we arrived, it's really highly rated on Google, go check it out. Food was super delicious!

We stayed at this Holiday Apartment in Pulau Tikus called Codrington House. It's really huge and cozy! Super convenient, huge parking, and it's in the middle of so many attractions and famous food places.

The next morning we had a huge breakfast of many famous Penang dishes that my cousins brought to our apartment. We certainly ate too much. Then we headed out to Cheong Fatt Tze - The Blue Mansion. Very nice historical place. They even shot part of Crazy Rich Asian there, and many other movies and dramas. Worth it.

Then we went to a famous Nyonya Kuih place called Moh Teng Pheow Nyonya Koay. Very delicious!

the white by catch, georgetown, penang.

did not expect to enjoy western food in penang, but this is a very random find near the hotel we were staying and the restaurant just looks very interesting, so we decided to give it a try and have a romantic dinner for two. the menu is quite extensive, so there’s a lot to choose from.

we ordered luncheon meat fries, baked oysters, lobster bisque, chicken wellington which also comes with a salad and mushroom soup and tiramisu for dessert. also got the house white wine with the chicken wellington. a soft bun is served while we wait for our food.

the restaurant ambiance is definitely romantic, and very spacious, there’s a private room too for groups. the food arrived in order and the pace is great, we get to enjoy our food dish by dish without waiting for long.

luncheon meat fries are crispy, not too salty and definitely great to munch on. baked oysters are actually quite big, lots of cheese on top. the soups are nice as wel, i do like the mushroom soup more, the smell and taste is amazing. chicken wellington was quite different from beef, the crust is light and does get soggy with the sauce, chicken is tender inside, it does match well with the sauce. tiramisu is fluffy and creamy, i do enjoy it a lot because it is one of my favorite desserts.

overall dining experience was great, the staff is quite attentive and the food is great and the ambiance is nice too. this is definitely a good place to go if you want a nice and fancy meal, or on special occasions or celebration.
