A Night Like No Other

Straits Quay is a new place to visit in Penang! It is a huge project by a company called E & O and comprises with residential areas as well as a new SHOPPING MALL! It's architecture is just so amazing that it makes you feel that you're not in Penang at all. It's building is some sort of like a British colony and stands so majestically especially during the night. It is build on reclaimed land ( some say it's where the tsunami hit) so the mall is at the sea front. If you have the money, this is definitely the place u wanna shop because it's retail stores are selling high class brands. There is also a German bar on one end and an Irish bar on the other end. Make sure you visit during the festive season because the decorations is as amazing as the place itself!

A NEW Lane with OLD, CLASSIC Food!

When it's day time, it just looks like any normal street. But when it turns to night time, it will be filled with lights shining brightly from hawker stalls from both sides of the street. Well, thats New Lane( name of the street)! It's one of the most popular places to eat in Penang I suppose. The place is always packed with food lovers! One of the best dishes there would be the 'Oh Chien' (Fried Oyster). I think you would be able to find almost every Penang hawker delicacy in just a lane. Like the old saying, ' A norm by day, a food heaven by night'

Presenting.......The New Lane!

The best way to eat oysters is by tasting the 'Oh Chien' of New Lane
Fresh oysters served with eggs.
And now, you can choose to have your 'Oh Chien' wet or dry..

Homemade 'Lor Bak'
In the plate : Lor Bak, fish fillet, century egg, tofu.
Eaten best with it's special sauce.

'Chee Cheong Chook'
Just look at those intestines...
I still do not dare to eat them till now!

'Char Kuey Tiaw' with a little help from the mini fan placed beside the wok
'Cooled' to perfection!

Some stalls at the lane...

Popiah sifu!

Down memory lane.....no! It should be down food heaven lane....
