HAPPY JUNE, EVERYONE!
Sorry lah, this post is so backdated but I insist on sharing this... :)
On a fine Sunday morning, in a fine place called Penang (the pearl of orient), we went to a not-so-fine place called the Chinese Wet Market, right in the middle of Penang town. Why not-so-fine? Because it's so hot, crowded and I'm sweaty! (T__________T) I hate me being sweaty, because I hate fumbling for tissue or hanky. One thing you don't know, is that I SWEAT EASILY! :x
But in the end, despite the sweats, crowds and wheather, everything is so worth it, because we found ourselves some fabulous foods! :$
I ordered the Penang famous Kuey Teow Th'ng, and a shot of caffeine (iced coffee)!
I can't go on with my day without a cup of coffee... :(

Anywhere in Penang, you will be able to see lotsa stalls selling Kuey Teow Th'ng. But this particular shop in Chinese Wet Market, almost anyone who entered the shop ordered Kuey Teow Th'ng. What is so special about the dish?
Kuey teow (rice cake strips) also known as sha hor fun, hor fen or shahe fen. It's white in color, broad, slippery, elastic and chewy. Kuey teow is popular among Chinese community where it will be fried or soup. ;)
What I ordered here is soup type, where kuey teow are served in delicious clear soup served with few slices of duck meat, handmade fish balls and spring onions! Their handmade fish balls are so delicious that I ordered extra 8 pieces! *slurrppp*

I love, I love, I love Kuew Teow Th'ng! It's so delicious and I can have another bowl of it! :) Forgive me as I forgot the snap the picture of the shop's name but you can easily look for it as it's located right in the middle of Chinese Wet Market in Penang town. And if you came over a shop with LOTSA customers (some are standing - waiting for their place), and most of them ordered Kuew Teow Th'ng, then you came to the right place! HAPPY SEARCHING! :k
