Penang 7 [29-30/08] Cuisine and Merdeka

29th August (Saturday) 2009

We dropped by Ghee Hiang on this day where a friend ordered 10 packs of large Tau Sa Pia. It has to be pre-ordered and will only be ready on the Tuesday.

We went in search of the famous Char Kuay Teow which unfortunately was closed at 5pm. As such, we just went to the stalls along Macalister Street and ordered many dishes. Firstly we have Satay with Char Kuay Teow.

Then we have Tofu Crab, Lala and Fried Oyster with egg.

We decide to check out the camera fair at Gurney. But it was disappointing, so we just go around shopping.

While trying some clothes, we were amazed by the size of the fitting rooms. There are chair and table to rest.

And also a wide variety of seafood to choose from.

The best part about this place is that the dishes are served in 10minutes or less. Here are the 7 dishes we have ordered for 6 people. It cost around 170plus ringgit; which on average is S$12 per person.
