got back from penang yesterday. why didn’t you put up the ‘belanja’ offer earlier? visited swatow lane; tried the bak-chang (have tasted better ones), the ooi-chiang is crispy and divine. needless to say ’bout the chendol. the niah-kueh is a bit like the kee-chang. the foochow fishball is something i haven’t had since childhood in sibu, and they don’t make it there anymore (to my knowledge). thanks for the recom. for homecook food at transfer st. trying to compare with my homecook food. had the fish head, belacan chick, steamed minced pork w/ salted fish, sambal kangkong,assam prawn. delish w/ down to earth prices! a bit disappointed w/ mama’s nonya restaurant. the kueh-chap and duck porridge opp. pulau tikus polis station: horrible. the kway-teow t’ung at the market is tasteless. the duck mee-sua at new town lane? next to sunway hotel was so-so. the po-piah was too soggy. the loh-mee looks delish w/ chick feet. overall, the hokkien mee and laksa is generic. gamma’s fried mee-sua and loh-bak is pretty good. can’t believe you can still get drinks for 50 sen these days! learnt how to make snow ice cream from 600cc, gurney plaza; gotta get an ice shaver next. if penang’s taxi is not so cut-throat, i would have tried more places.

Mike!
I saw your earlier comment much later and I think by then you were already in Penang. Glad that you managed to eat soooo many things in one short trip. Oh yeah, glad the lousy ones are not the ones I recommended. Or else, you throw rotten eggs on me!
