Gurney Drive. Some of the taste of the famous dishes have greatly been washed down. Sad.

Real authentic roadside food. Super good. Well, when you have survived the food of China, these are nothing. Even the kids enjoy them. Love the sight, the sound and the colours

Penang famous chendol. Now there are two stalls selling chendol in this lane which is very famous for the dessert. Yours truly have tried both because I was very curious. One has a long Q and the other no need to wait. Yes, you must have guessed it. The one with no Q was the better one. That was what the taxi driver told us and it was 101% true. Humans are strange creatures. They flock to where everyone is eating, everyone is buying, everyone is doing… without realising that it is just a herd mentality. They have missed the best chendol in town. Thick coconut milk, strong gula melaka taste and a generous helping of red beans. *Slurp*

Cart selling roti and remember this satay snack which we used to eat during our schools days? 5cents per stick.

Penang famous Hainanese chicken rice. Well, as a true blue Hainanese, I will rate it 7/10. Not superb but good enough

When in Malaysia, of course must see IT and eat IT.

Part of the fun of eating durians in Malaysia is to eat among Mother Nature and her creatures. Not your XO, D24 or mo san wang. It is the red flesh durain. Very good is an understatement.

Speechless, wordless...

Right after the last bite, the rain started pouring. God is GOOD!
