PARAM at Jalan Utama



Pasar Ramadhans or PARAM's are once yearly affairs most look forward to. The one at Jalan Utama features the usual fares one expects to see, so I'll just highlight those I deem to be rarely seen in Penang.
First thing you'll notice is that there is a massive amount of fish dishes on display at the nasi campur stalls....


....and a larger variety of grilled ones by ikan bakar operators



Nasi Dalca stall . Which is getting lesser in numbers  by the day. Just look at the pots and see how much has been sold already.


Duck dishes. Very rare.


Durian with glutinous rice, a speciality from the northern states, not just Penang


An ayam madu stall with chicken that looks more like tandoori chicken than the usual ayam madu

Other regional offerings include this makeshift stall selling Johor otak-otak 


...as well as plenty of stalls hawking East Coast delicacies 




The other interesting thing about the place ,is that even in a normal day, the area is bustling with hospital staff. 


Location : Jalan Utama 

Directions : it is just behind the Penang General Hospital

I was under the impression that he found me to be an oddity .Anyway, I thought he wanted to be included in the picture since that was what 2 other guys selling jelly told me when I started snapping their stall. Crossed signals lolz
