Roadside Tong Sui at Sungai Dua, Penang

I love traditional Chinese style desserts or more commonly known as “Tong Sui’ (directly translated from Cantonese as ‘sugar water’). Unfortunately, these popular tea time snacks sold by vendors I know of are only available in the afternoons and finish by early evenings. Therefore I hardly get to patronize these stalls unless its a weekend.… Continue reading Roadside Tong Sui at Sungai Dua, Penang

The Tale of a long long snack at Paya Terubong

Some time ago, blog hoppers might remember a slew of reviews about a certain extra long snack… also known as the longest ‘yew tiao’, longest deep fried Chinese cruller or “Te Chang Yew Tiao Wang” to be exact (translated from Mandarin to Extra Long Cruller King). Well, Lingzie’s Tummy Treats is here to jolt your… Continue reading The Tale of a long long snack at Paya Terubong

Penang Special Samosa @ Little India

I’ve always been a big fan of Indian food though my knowledge about it is still very much in its infancy stage. I love how spices add so much depth and flavour to otherwise ordinary ingredients. Therefore I was most delighted when I stumbled upon this lil stall at the junction of Market Street and… Continue reading Penang Special Samosa @ Little India

Afternoon Tea @ Annabelle’s Place, Lembah Permai Penang

Regular readers of this blog will remember this post back in 2007 when I blogged about one of my favourite foods in Penang – the unique and yummy chinese pancakes.

Glutinuous Rice Dumplings (Bak Zhang) @ Tavoy Road, Penang

One of my favourite snacks would definitely be ‘bak zhang’ or glutinuous rice dumplings stuffed with pork wrapped with lotus leaves. Traditionally eaten during the Chinese festival “Duan Wu Jie“, this delicious savoury dumpling is also being sold throughout the year. My usual haunt for this snack would be at this stall off Burmah Road,… Continue reading Glutinuous Rice Dumplings (Bak Zhang) @ Tavoy Road, Penang

Apologies for the lack of updates of late. Have been traveling quite a bit, and I will be flying off again next week (and coming back with more yummy food photos to show! Hint: Gourmet Tour 🙂 ) Anyway, my family and I recently discovered this lady who makes chicken pies for sale from her… Continue reading Home Made Chicken Pie

Sweet & Sour Fishballs

This is a long overdue post, as I prepared this dish for a pot luck at the end of last year. At that time, I had spotted this simple yet tantalizing recipe from Rasa Malaysia’s site. And the pot luck was the perfect opportunity for me to try out the recipe! I have never had… Continue reading Sweet & Sour Fishballs
