You probably know how much I have been groaning and bitching on how bad Penang hawker food is becoming these days .Well ,
I walked away with a most positive experience and my faith in good old hawker food renewed .
Now , I'm not going to make this easy for you. Since it is the tourist throngs, that spell the death knell to quality hawker food which Penang is so famous for. Will post up a few photo clues so you can hunt them down if you want. All the hawkers are in the same area.
First up.
Cendol.
If you ask me to go to that famous stall in Penang Road I would rather jump off a cliff. The other day at Gurney Paragon , I had their worst ever bowl of cendol which came with frozen unthawed green noodles . What a disgrace !
Compare with the one I found here. It is perfect ! I love this. The noodles are silky , the gula melaka fragrant and the santan not too jelak with a super cold ice shaving that doesn't go warm before the 5th mouthful.
Perfect !
