The rules:These are some of the "Longkang" Eateries & Food that I fancy & frequent in Penang. The street hawkers food reigns. Too many liao, but have to limit to 5 only. Sorry ah, I kinda lazy to arrange the photos or made into collage :P
1. Add a direct link to your post below the name of the person who tagged you.
Include the state and country you’re in.
* nicole (Sydney, Australia)
* velverse (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
* LB (San Giovanni in Marignano, Italy)
* Chen (Penang, Malaysia)
2. List out your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location.
3. Tag 5 other people (preferably from other countries/states) ..and let them know they’ve been tagged
1) Air Itam Market
What else? The famous lao hao sui Penang Assam Laksa or the well-known so called "Longkang" Laksa (cos the stall is located next to the drain).
Penang Assam Laksa (RM 2.30)thick fish paste soup (with generous servings of fish flakes and good swirl of He Kor/prawn paste. Everyone knows about this famous dish..
2) Sin Hwa Coffee Shop (shophouse in Burmah Road, opposite the Pulau Tikus Police Station)
I will visit this place for my favourite fragrant duck egg char koay teow, the Penang Assam Laksa (as most of the time, Air Itam Market is too congested) and the Lemak Laksa. This kopitiam closed at 5 pm. Prepare to sweat when u have your meal here cos it's hot, but still this doesn't stop the customers from patronising. The mouth watering Ban Chang Kueh & Tongsui is just few steps away.
Duck Egg Char Koay Teow (RM 3.50)with cockles, prawns, sotong/squid, lard, bean sprouts/taugeh and of coz not forgetting the duck egg. The chicken egg version is 50 cents cheaper. Without egg is RM 2.50
Penang Assam Laksa (RM 2.70) - Hot & spicy.. yummy
Lemak Laksa (RM 2.70)Both are nice, but I prefer the Assam Laksa more than the Lemak Laksa.
3) Swatow Lane Kopitiam & New World Park Hawker Centre
I like the Fruity Ice Kacang, Chee Cheong Fun, Bak Chang, Oh Kueh (yam cake), Sotong Kangkung and Tee Nya Kuih. However, I prefer the fruit rojak served inside the Swatow Lane kopitiam than the one inside the New World Park Hawker Centre.
Fruity Ais Kacang (with banana, mango, papaya) without ice cream topping
Oh Chean (Oyster Omelette) (RM 5)
Sotong Kangkung (Joo Hoo Eng Chai) (RM 5)
Fruit Rojak (RM 3)
Tee Nya Kuih (with palm sugar or gula melaka) (RM 2)4) New Lane Hawker Centre (Macalister Road, next to Sunway Hotel)
Yeah, u can basically get everything here, but I like their Chee Cheung Fun, Chee Cheong Chuk and Curry Mee.
Chee Cheong Fun (with sweet & spicy sauce) (RM 1.60)
Curry Mee (with prawns, coagulated blood, taugeh & tauhu pok)
Chee Cheong Chuk (Pig Intestine Porridge)5) Kassim Mustaffa Mamak Restaurant (in Tanjung Bungah, nearby the Floating Mosque) : Roti Canai, Roti Tisu, Roti Poori, Murtabak, Roti Bom, Mee Goreng Mamak, Nasi Kandar, Teh Tarik etc...
Murtabak Kambing
Roti Poori/Puri
Roti Tisu
Roti Canai
Teh TarikMmmmm... Ahem, who should I
1) Misti - Singapore (I really wanna know what u eat...)
2) Day Dreamer - Ipoh, Perak
3) Papercrazy - Kuching, Sarawak
4) Alicia - PJ, Selangor
5) Cynthia - Perth, Australia
Last but not least, anyone interested to pay me (or Penang) a visit?

My whole life flashed before me slowly as I scrolled slowly down your post! OMG, this must be the best ever food tag anyone I know has done! Die die die.. I think I might have to stay longer than a weekend on July 14th! Can? I want one of everything! Even if there is no Lormaikai! Can skip Lormaikai.. Sei lor!! Fei chai lor!! Luckily got Ah BOy to hantam any leftovers.. Chen, this is an amazing post, I swear! Thank you for doing such a brilliant job! Such surgical percision... Very awed.. Jaw dropped, tongue rolled, lips dry, heart broke.. Klangs klanging..

Ah Boy will be happy cos he can eat more food :P
Must bring out the surgical blade to dissect the oyster liao :P
cynthia,
Hehehe, of coz ;)
I'm sure u have lotsa recommendations :)
Yeah, sharing is caring mah.. :D
Uhmmm.... I think it's kinda different. Anyway, usually food that isn't cooked at the original place, wont taste the same, rite? :D
Yerrrrr reminds of my trip bek there la... Swatow lane and memory lane... heheheh.... Yes yes loves all the food la... I wan to go bek there again and try duck egg kway teow... wah lots to eat.. write in down in the diary...must hv must hv!!!!faster show to JON
Very tasty-looking food and interesting places to visit should I ever have the opportunity to come to Malaysia.
Love the pics!
Selba,
Yeah, the food might taste different, and not the authentic taste like the one served here. Just like the Penang Char Koay Teow in Sarawak doesn't taste as nice as the one in Penang ;)
Wenn,
Hehehe, time really flies huh?
Seems like u just visited Penang, but that was few weeks ago liao :)
I still remember the scene of Jon taking video shots of the roti canai man :P
Furkids in HK,
Glad u like the pictures :)
Yeah, the hawker food here is different from the one in HK. I would love to visit HK one of these days... But dunno when yet....
WAHHHH

nicole,
Thanks..
Hehehe, I dunno u r the starter of this tag..
Since I saw LB only put up 3 names up there, so I also follow trend & put up 3 names :P
Btw, I have added your name into the list liao :)
Yummmmmmm.....do you think we can meet up and have a makan spree the next time I'm in Penang? I simple love all your 5 favourites. Esp the laksa laksa and laksa!
iml,
i would love to :)
Inform me before hand prior to your balik kampung trip.
Hopefully we can meet up & jalan-jalan cari makan :D
Yipeeee!!!!!!!
iml,
hehhee, when is your next balik kampung trip? ;)
*waiting*
Can finish! Don't worry, wasting food is not my 专长. Hahahaha!
Okay, I'll do the tag after my exams. Remind me, will ya? :)
day dreamer,
somehow the phrase not wasting food reminds me of vacuum cleaner :P
I'm not referring u as a vacuum cleaner, okie? The reason why I say so is coz vacuum cleaner can suck everything mah, including food :P
Sure, sure.. no problem..
I will remind u if u forget..
Hopefully I will not forget too!!
LOL
I am so hungry now. And still won't be home for two more hours. *tumbly rumbles*
SA,
I'm equally hungry too looking at the pictures...
Cham loh...
Nothing to eat here.. :(
very strange - how come penang road cendol is not on your list??
doc,
cos i'm supposed to list out 5 eating places only.. if there's no limitations, I will surely include that in the list :)
thanks chen for adding my name...by the way your 2nd place you put..sin hwa is the name of the chow kuey tiow place..the name of the coffee shop is wah chi (you should be proud the kopi tiam owner daughter is my friend and she saw it!! she so happy!!)
nicole,
Err... the name of the kopi tiam is Sin Hwa (I went back there again & have a look at the kopi tiam name). It's indeed Sin Hwa. Might be your friend hasn't balik kampung for a while & she didn't realise the shop has changed name?
