Foodie Paradise, Penang

While Singapore celebrated its 58th birthday, WJ and I took a short flight to Penang with my parents to rest, relax, and of course, eat.

WJ was so excited to try all the different dishes and stores that he planned out a food itinerary that would have us eating every hour. Every hour! Suffice to say, we didn’t follow his plan in the end because it would have been impossible to eat that much without exploding!

We did manage to eat at quite a number of restaurants on WJ’s list though. But sadly, because our trip fell over a polling day in Penang, many of the stores were closed or closed early that day.

Here’s where and what we ate over the 3 days!

Green House Prawn Mee & Loh Mee

MICHELIN Bib Gourmand

I loved the prawn mee with its spicy kick (I took out the extra chilli if not it’ll be too spicy)!

Hot Bowl White Curry Mee

You can add in your own amount of chilli so it can be zero spice or as spicy as you want. I saw some other patrons eating very, very red bowls.

Here’s my white bowl with a tiny tinge of red, if you can spot it.
