I'm just going to mention this about what it was like to visit Penang while on a working trip. As you would probably have guessed, most of the ppl in my company are Muslims, hence my Penang visit would have been devoid of the yummy yummy non-halal selection they have there.See the last time we went to Penang I had hotel food three days in a row, no thanks to being stuck on Jerejak Island during the entire period. So, yeah, while we did go for Mee Udang just before our plane left for KL, I felt sorely deprived.I MEAN WHAT IS A TRIP TO PENANG WITHOUT A GOOD OLE' DISH OF CHAR KUEY TEOW RIGHT?? RIGHT??

…

So this time around, I literally ate like a pig. And I must thank thank thank my BRAT/Varsity/Journo mate AC for being my official chauffeur… Looking back I still can't believe I ate so much yeah? The dear girl came at 8.30 (oh yes media line peeps have weird let-go hours), and still I managed to gorge myself on Cendol, Assam Laksa, Char Kuey Teow, Leng Chee Kang, and OMG OMG … so-unhealthy deep-fried chicken skin.

My cravings for makan were SOOOOOOOO bad that even when my boss said he'd treat us to 1/2 hour foot reflexology sessions, I declined the offer! HAH. So on day-two after the operations, while my colleagues went to enjoy the free massage, I sneaked away to Swatow Lane's New World Food Court. Hah.

Ok the Chinese really, really love their food. I'm greedy I know, but I'll just say that if there's any one who's trying convert me to Islam or Judaism for that matter, better not try lah. I love my pork too much to even think about it. Kosher and Halal is far too restrictive for me, and I don't think I'll even survive a month of going without pork.
Erm… I hope that last para wasn't too offensive.

I MISS YOU CHAR KUEY TEOW!!

oh oh… btw, I personally feel that the char kuey teow you can get at Kuchai Lama Food Court is very authentic. MUST TRY YEAH!
